neonatal tetanus (nt) is a leading cause of neonatal mortality in many parts of the world. tetanus is a vaccine-preventable disease and is second only to measles worldwide as a cause of childhood mortality. in this study the various irnrnunoglobulin classes of anti-tetanus antibody in the sera of 105 iranian women of childbearing age (13-45 years) were titrated by enzyme linked immunosorbent as...

conclusion reference ranges for umbilical cord csa have been generated. the csa of the umbilical cord and other components of it increase as a function of gestational age. these measurements correlate with fetal size. results the values of the csa of the umbilical cord, umbilical vein and wharton’s jelly (wj) increase consistently until 30 weeks of gestation, after which they reach a plateau. t...

most women want to know about possible consequences radiology, radioisotope or even television terminal. because knowing about them, prevent from fear. fetus is inevitably placed to some types of radiation. environmental radiation occurs from atmosphere, soil and buildings. total radiation above, ingested and possibly inhaled radioisotopes probably is seventy five-thousandth to one-tenth of ram...

Blood from a woman with unexplained erythrocytosis had increased oxygen affinity, but no abnormality could be detected by electrophoresis or chromatography of her hemolysate. Separation of the tryptic peptides of her beta chains disclosed two half-sized peaks in the regions of beta T-11. The faster of these was abnormal, with the structure beta 101 Glu replaced by Asp. The new hemoglobin was ca...

In mouse, tissue-specific developmental de novo methylation of the proto-oncogene cfos, which is abundantly expressed during embryonic stages, occurs perinatally (between the day of birth to 20 dpp) and is maintained in the adult. In liver, where c-fos is only active up to the day of birth, the gene has more sites methylated than in brain, where it is expressed until about day 5 post-partum. We...

Campylobacter fetus is a gram-negative bacterial pathogen of both humans and animals. Two subspecies have been identified, Campylobacter fetus subsp. fetus and Campylobacter fetus subsp. venerealis, and there are two serotypes, A and B. To further investigate the genetic diversity among C. fetus strains of different origins, subspecies, and serotypes, we performed multiple genetic analyses by u...

Abortion, placental and fetal colonization, and levels of gamma interferon were analyzed for four Chlamydophila abortus strains presenting antigenic variations in a mouse model. Expression of virulence of these strains varied and indicated that abortion was not directly related to the number of bacteria in the placenta, and thus, other factors may have an important role in activating the aborti...

Suppose we wish to understand a particular moral problem – for example, abortion. One way of proceeding is to reason on the basis of our existing substantive moral beliefs. We may, however, suspect that our moral beliefs about abortion, insofar as we have any prior to serious reflection, are unreliable. We may suspect, for example, that our beliefs about abortion reflect the influence of a reli...
