Two porcine circovirus 3 (PCV3) strains, named NWHEB21 and NWHUN2, were identified in heart and brain tissues of aborted piglets. Their complete genome sequences were sequenced and analyzed to further characterize PCV3 in China and worldwide.

the aim of this study was to investigate the possible role of multiple inherited thrombophilic gene variations in women with unexplained spontaneous abortions. for this purpose, the factor v leiden (fvl) (rs6025), prothrombin g20210a (rs1799963), mthfr c677t (rs1801133), pai-1 4g/5g (rs1799889), ace i/d (rs1799752), enos e298d (rs1799983), and apo e e2/e3/e4 (rs429358) polymorphisms were genoty...

Border disease is a congenital viral disease of sheep and goats and cause significant economic losses worldwide. It may cause abortion in sheep. However, there isn’t any report of ovine abortion due to this virus from Iran. The aim of the present study was to investigate the role of this viral infection in sheep abortions in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. To this end, 100 samples of aborte...

This paper presents a solution to check integrity constraints in database systems supporting nested transactions. Using nested transactions allows to introduce parallelism inside a transaction and to partially recover failing transactions by deening a hierarchy of sub-transactions. If a constraint is violated by some sub-transactions, it is possible to reach the validation of the nested transac...

The clinical value has been assessed of circulating placental lactogen levels as a pointer to the outcome in a patient with vaginal bleeding in early pregnancy. By using a semiautomated radioimmunoassay the normal range of values for the first and second trimesters has been established. In patients admitted with vaginal bleeding after the eighth week of gestation estimation of plasma human plac...

Purpose: To assess the efficacy of medical methods for termination of pregnancy at 9 12 weeks of gestation. Methods: Between December 2008 and December 2010, the 116 consecutive women received 200 mg oral mifepristone and after 24 36 hours they applied 800 μg vaginal misoprostol to medically terminate pregnancy. If the products of conception did not pass, three further doses of 400 μg misoprost...

Available information on the mechanisms responsible for some reproductive lesions observed in experimental trypanosomiasis has not been fully elucidated. This work was undertaken to further study the histopathologic effects of Trypanosoma brucei infection on hypothalamus, adenohypophysis, ovary, uterus, placenta of the West African dwarf (WAD) doe and liver of aborted foetuses. Sixteen does (10...
