to compare the level of knowledge on reproductive health among urban and rural women of selected area of bangladesh.a descriptive cross-sectional study was undertaken among 200 women selected purposively from different rural and urban areas of bangladesh. data were collected using a semi-structured interviewer-administered questionnaire by face to face interview. knowledge level was analyzed ac...

Whether inflammation mediates how reproductive events affect chronic-disease risk is unclear. We studied inflammatory biomarkers in the context of reproductive events using National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) data. From 15,986 eligible women from the 1999-2011 data cycles, we accessed information on reproductive events, blood counts, C-reactive protein (CRP), and total hom...

The reproductive performance of the parasitoid Habrobracon hebetor (Say) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) against the moths Anagasta kuehniella Zeller and Plodia interpunctella (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) was studied in the laboratory. The analysis was based on the comparison of parasitoid's life table parameters related to those of its hosts at various conditions of host density (daily supply o...

background: sexual instinct which is the cause of numerous changes in an individual’s life could be influenced by different factors such as menopause and ageing. this study was designed to compare sexual dysfunction before and after menopause. materials and methods: this was a cross-sectional study. participants were 174 menopausal women who referred to medical health centers of isfahan, iran. ...

reproductive parameters and ovipositional preference of plutella xylostella were assessed on some mutant genotypes of canola (rgs 8-1, rgs 10-2, rgs 8-13, zar 9-9 and talaye 8-3) and their cultivars (rgs, zar, talaye) under greenhouse condition (21 ± 6 °c, 65 ± 10 rh and a photoperiod of 16l: 8d h). comparison of the reproductive parameters on rgs and its mutant genotypes revealed that mutant g...

Abstract We introduce and provide a new data-set of species-specific ecological indicator values (alternative ‘Ellenberg values’ for climatic variables, light, moisture, soil reaction/pH, salinity, nitrogen phosphorus plus response to management disturbance), physiological reproductive traits (including symbionts, phenology, pollinators, nectar production, seed properties), indices relevance co...

This study was aimed at providing a description of the morphology and metric evaluation of reproductive organs of a female bison. Its additional objective was to track changes proceeding in the structure of these organs depending on age and sexual maturity of the animals. An attempt was also undertaken for a comparative analysis of those organs with these of domestic cattle. The experimental ma...

Women tend to gain weight with age, especially fat mass which shows also regional changes. A cross-sectional study was done on 213 Czech women with the conclusion that there is a progressive weight increase up to the menopause, an increase in absolute and relative fat contribution and fat centralisation up to the postmenopause and these changes seemed to occur even before the weight increase oc...

It has been hypothesized that mobile species should be more negatively affected by road mortality than less-mobile species because they interact with roads more often, and that species with lower reproductive rates and longer generation times should be more susceptible to road effects because they will be less able to rebound quickly from population declines. Taken together, these hypotheses su...

Animal societies are typically divided into those in which reproduction within a group is monopolized by a single female versus those in which it is shared among multiple females. It remains controversial, however, whether these two forms of social structure represent distinct evolutionary outcomes or endpoints along a continuum of reproductive options. To address this issue and to determine wh...
