Conceptus loss during the pre-implantation and early post-implantation period hinders the efficiency of swine reproduction. Significant conceptus loss occurs during trophectoderm elongation between gestational day (D) 11 and D12. Elongation of the porcine conceptus is a key stage of development during which maternal recognition of pregnancy, initial placental development, and preparation for im...

The aim of this study was to characterize two monoclonal antibodies (F6A11 and F109-D12) generated against Pdx1 (pancreatic and duodenal homeobox-1), a homeodomain transcription factor, which is critical for pancreas formation as well as for normal pancreatic beta cell function. For production of monoclonal antibodies, we immunized Robertsonian POSF (RBF)mice with a GST-Pdx1 fusion protein cont...

A new route to 3-(4-arylmethylamino)butyl-5-arylidene-2-thioxo-1,3-thiazolidine-4-one 9 was developed in six steps from commercial 1,4-diaminobutane 1 as starting material. The key step of this multi-step synthesis involved a solution phase "one-pot two-steps" approach assisted by microwave dielectric from N-(arylmethyl)butane-1,4-diamine hydrochloride 6a-f (as source of the first point diversi...

It is shown how one can effectively use microdata in modelling the change over time in an aggregate (e.g. mean consumption expenditure) of a large and heterogeneous population. The starting point of our aggregation analysis is a specification of explanatory variables on the micro-level. Typically, some of these explanatory variables are observable and others are unobservable. Based on certain h...

The classification of curves of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field was studied by Clebsch and Bolza using invariants of binary sextic forms, and completed by Igusa with the computation of the corresponding threedimensional moduli variety M2. The locus of curves with group of automorphisms isomorphic to one of the dihedral groupsD8 orD12 is a one-dimensional subvariety. In this paper we ...

Spinal cord neurological disorders associated with Hashimotos disease are rare and very rarely described.Thediagnosis is based on a set of arguments the performance an exhaustive assessment in order to eliminate other possible causes medullary damage. In this case, we report 21 years old man, who was admitted for spinal syndrome D12-L1 sensory level diagnosed acute transverse myelitis thyroidit...

In the framework of the seesaw mechanism with three heavy right-handed Majorana neutrinos and no Higgs triplets we carry out a systematic study of the structure of the right-handed neutrino sector. Using the current low-energy neutrino data as an input and assuming hierarchical Dirac-type neutrino masses mDi, we calculate the masses Mi and the mixing of the heavy neutrinos. We confront the infe...

Background- Spinal subdural haematoma (SSH) is a rare condition with unknown incidence in the general population. Iatrogenic spinal subdural haematoma radiologically mimicking a prolapsed dorso-lumbar disc has not been published in the literature. Case presentation- A 65-yr-old female presented with altered sensorium and generalized weakness for 3 days was evaluated by Neurologist and diagn...
