In addition to DZP suppository, acetaminophen (AAP) suppositories are occasionally used to ease suffering by high fever. However, the simultaneous combination of DZP and AAP ...

background: luteal phase support is mandatory in art (assisted reproductive technologies) for optimizing outcome, so the luteal phase is supported with either progesterone, addition of estradiol to progesterone, hcg or gonadotropin releasing hormone (gnrh) agonists. supplementation of luteal phase with progesterone is prescribed for women undergoing routine ivf treatment. objective: to compare ...

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common among women and frequently recur. Depletion of vaginal lactobacilli is associated with UTI risk, which suggests that repletion may be beneficial.

Improved understanding of year-to-year late-spring soil nitrate test (LSNT) variability could help make it more attractive to producers. We test the ability of the Root Zone Water Quality Model (RZWQM) to simulate watershed-scale variability due to the LSNT, and we use the optimized model to simulate long-term field N dynamics under related conditions. Autoregressive techniques and the automati...
