A complete proteomic profile of seminal plasma (SP) remains challenging, particularly in porcine. The data reports on the analysis of boar SP-proteins by using a combination of SEC, 1-D SDS PAGE and NanoLC-ESI-MS/MS from 33 pooled SP-samples (11 boars, 3 ejaculates/boar). A complete dataset of the 536 SP-proteins identified and validated with confidence ≥95% (Unused Score >1.3) and a false disc...

Given that humans originated in Africa, it is likely that many seminal psychological observations and interventions originate in the continent. Relatively little attention has been paid, however, to more recent African contributions to the scientific fields of psychiatry and clinical psychology. This article notes that a number of major contributions to the understanding of brain-mind disorders...

We develop a general procedure for estimating the effective constitutive behavior of nonlinear dielectrics. The procedure is based on a variational principle expressing the effective energy function of a given nonlinear composite in terms of the effective energy functions of the class of linear comparison composites. This provides an automatic procedure for converting well-known information for...

Current Problems in Surgery keeps readers up-to-date on the latest surgical advances. Each month, this publication examines a single clinical problem or condition commonly seen by general surgeons.

seminal vesicles (svs) are sex accessory organs and part of male genitourinary system. they play a critical role in male fertility. diseases of the svs, usually results in infertility. diseases of the svs are extremely rare and are infrequently reported in the literature. we address the current literature of sv pathologies, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options. we review the clinical impo...

Bovine Leukemia ProVirus: Evidence of Presence of Part of Gag Gene in Seminal Plasma of Naturally Infected Bulls It is of critical importance to understand the modalities of BLV presence in semen, especially with regard to artificial insemination (AI). Presence of bovine leukemia provirus was demonstrated in fresh and frozen semen samples by researchers. In this study paired blood and semen sam...

When the World Trade Centre was destroyed in New York on 11 September 2001, I felt devastation for all the victims of this atrocity. This included the terrorist themselves as well as the families of the dead and injured and of the perpetrators. When America used this atrocity as a reason to attack Iraq I was very disturbed by the transposition of lines of blame to a country that had no direct l...
