BACKGROUND Colocalization analysis of confocal fluorescence and electron microscopy (EM) are important tools to detect the expression of multiple anterior pituitary hormones within the same cell. Heterozygous (Men1+/-) mice developed pituitary tumors, mostly reported somatolactotrophinomas and ACTH secreting pituitary adenomas but also nonfunctioning tumors. The aim of the study was to run immu...

Evidence from several studies has shown that the penile length varies among different populations of racial/ethnic groups. Size abnormalities newborn external genitalia may be a pointer to some endocrine and genetic disorders. In this study we have prospectively measured stretched all newborns at our hospital in an attempt define normative data for full term neonates region. All live male born ...

Mono Sodium Glutamate (MSG) is a naturally occurring excitatory neurotransmitter. It is extensively used as a food additive and flavoring agent for its UMAMI taste. Simultaneously it is being implicated for varied pathological condition like obesity, gonadal dysfunction, learning difficulty etc. It produces oxygen derived free radicals and metabolized in liver. Neonate mice are sensitive and su...

We compared survival of neonate white-tailed deer Odocoileus virginianus captured using vaginal-implant transmitters (VITs) and traditional ground searches to determine if capture method affects neonate survival. During winter 2003, 14 adult female radio-collared deer were fitted with VITs to aid in the spring capture of neonates; neonates were captured using VITs (N=14) and traditional ground ...

introduction : 99% of 4million neonatal mortality occur in developing countries every year. mortality rate of newborns accounts for 18.3 per 1000 live birth that comprised 69% of imr and 56% of under 5 mortality in iran. a  comparison of statistical trend between infant and newborn rate from 1988 to 2001 revealed a considerable decrease in imr but slightly decrease in nmr. training postnatal mo...
