BACKGROUND Religious (halachic*) infertility' results from precoital ovulation prior to immersion in a ritual bath (mikveh) 7 days after menstruation, as mandated by Jewish religious law. Previous authors recommended treatment with estradiol to postpone ovulation and enhance pregnancy rates. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the prevalence of halachic infertility in an ultra-Orthodox jewish community, a...

The article presents the results of analysis pregnancy rates mares depending on duration intervals from cloprostenol preparation injection to ovulation. It was found that with a decrease in interval (≤7 days), rate decreases by 30% (p≤0.05). To determine optimal time for use, an ovulation performed, day sexual cycle and largest follicle diameter. average before groups, (5, 6-7, 8-10, 11-15 have...

Abstract: Jean Mandler proposes an original and richly detailed theory of how concepts relate to sensory and motor capacities. I focus on her claims about conceptual representations and the processes that produce them. On her view, concepts are declarative representations of object kind information. First, I argue that since sensorimotor representations may be declarative, there is no bar to pe...

We previously reported that ovulation rate, but not pregnancy rate or litter size at d 30 post-mating, was enhanced by gonadotropin treatment (P.G. 600; Intervet America Inc., Millsboro, DE) in gilts fed a progestin (Regu-mate; Intervet America Inc.) compared with gilts receiving progestin alone. We hypothesized that P.G. 600 altered the timing of ovulation, therefore mating gilts 12 and 24 h a...

Ultrafast photoresponse of dc-biased optically-thick YBa2Cu3O7−δ microbridges at T < Tc triggered with 100 fs optical pulses of high fluence was investigated by means of sampling oscilloscope and approach of a S-(1.5– 4 GHz) & C-(4–7 GHz) frequency-band antenna radiation, excited by the photoresponse. A superposition of ultrafast(photokinetic) and slow(bolometric) components of the photorespons...

The Finnish Landrace (Finnsheep) is a well known high-prolificacy sheep breed and has been used in many countries as a source of genetic material to increase fecundity of local breeds. Analyses to date have indicated that mutations with a large effect on ovulation rate are not responsible for the exceptional prolificacy of Finnsheep. The objectives of this study were to ascertain if: 1) any of ...

In the present study 60 cases age ranging from 18-40 years were studied for variation in the absolute basophil count on the different days of menstrual cycle. At the time of ovulation a statistically significant decrease in the number of basophil count was noted. The decrease in the number of basophil at mid cycle coincided with the irregular follicle seen by sonography, which indicated ovulati...

Metformin alone compared with placebo increases the ovulation rate in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) but should not be used as first-line therapy for anovulation because oral ovulation induction agents such as clomiphene citrate or letrozole alone are much more effective in increasing ovulation, pregnancy, and live-birth rates in women with PCOS. There is fair evidence that metform...

Background Although there are different ways to achieve the desired sex of the fetus, most of those are not completely effective. This paper reports a study on human to check the theories which hypothesize that high potassium maternal diet, douching with alkaline substance to change vaginal PH and intercourse around ovulation affects the sex ratio of the progeny MaterialsAndMethods A quasi-expe...
