One of the learning outcomes Animal Embryology and Reproduction is that students can explain concepts about reproduction or embryology theory. Since concept map-based improve students’ critical thinking skills analysis, support their interest in learning, this study analysed ability enrolled 2019/2020 course to construct maps students' cognitive through assignments tests. This descriptive invol...

Understanding the capacity of organisms to cope with projected global warming through acclimation and adaptation is critical to predicting their likely future persistence. While recent research has shown that developmental acclimation of metabolic attributes to ocean warming is possible, our understanding of the plasticity of key fitness-associated traits, such as reproductive performance, is l...

OBJECTIVE To identify perceived barriers to accessing reproductive health care according to the women of Ocotal, Nicaragua; describe their understanding of their reproductive rights; and document their opinions about Nicaragua's total ban on abortion. METHODS From May to June 2014, three focus group discussions were held in Spanish with 17 women from two different neighborhoods (barrios) in t...

Although there have been few demonstrations of a direct empirical relationship between environmental enrichment and reproductive success in captive animals, indirect and anecdotal evidence indicates the importance of physical and temporal complexity for reproduction. We discuss three major mechanisms through which environmental enrichment that specifically increases the complexity of an animal'...

Reproductive age women proportion with HIV-infection increasing, but relationship of antioxidant deficiency and reproductive disorders in this category of patients remain unclear. Objective: To identify antioxidant vitamins deficiency and frequency of reproductive disorders interrelations in women with HIV-infection. 53 women of reproductive age with HIV-infection were divided for 4 groups acco...

objective: cyclosporine (cs), a cyclic undecapeptide with potent immunosuppressive activity, causes several adverse effects including reproductive toxicity. this study aims to examine the ability of crataegus monogyna aqueous fruit extract as an antioxidant to protect against cs-induced reproductive toxicity. materials and methods: in this experimental study, 32 adult male wistar rats were divi...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is predominantly a disease of young people with a peak incidence between ages 20 and 40 years. Indeed, for an adolescent or young adult this diagnosis can be devastating. Patients suddenly face a chronic incurable illness that may require lifelong treatment. Medication toxicity, the ability to lead a productive life, and life expectancy are common concerns for p...

The effect of irradiation on the reproductive ability of the orchid snail, Zonitoides arboreus, a serious pest of potted orchids in Hawaii, was investigated. Weekly egg production averaged between 0.8 and 1.9 over a 9-wk period for snails not exposed to irradiation, and egg hatch averaged 61%. In comparison to untreated controls, irradiation of snails at the lowest dose tested (34-37 Gy) reduce...
