Background: Nowadays, gamete and embryo donation is applied as effective process in treatment infertility problems. In order to participate in the process of donation, donors should complete an extensive questionnaire that details their personal and family medical history. Included in this questionnaire should be a detailed sexual history, substance abuse history, history of family disease, and...

Background: Couples seeking assisted reproductive donation procedures are faced with complex challenges throughout their treatment which can have important psychological impacts on their life. Selecting a suitable donor is one of the hardest decisions they will ever make. This study was carried out to provide an in-depth description of the experiences of couples in relation to donor selection. ...

In recent years, kidney paired donation (KPD) has been extended to include living non-directed or altruistic donors, in which an altruistic donor donates to the candidate of an incompatible donor-candidate pair with the understanding that the donor in that pair will further donate to the candidate of a second pair, and so on; such a process continues and thus forms an altruistic donor-initiated...

Single electron transistor (SET) is an advanced tool to exploit in quantum devices. Working of such devices at room-temperature essential for practical utilization. Dopant based single-electron are well studied low-temperature although a few developed high-temperature operation with certain limitations. Here, we propose and theoretically exhibit that nitrogen (N) donor silicon important candida...

For patients with ESRD, kidney transplant offers significant survival and quality-of-life advantages compared with dialysis. But for patients seeking transplant who are highly sensitized, wait times have traditionally been long and options limited. The approach to the highly sensitized candidate for kidney transplant has changed substantially over time owing to new advances in desensitization, ...

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT) is the transmission of genes between organisms by other means than parental to offspring inheritance. While it is prevalent in prokaryotes, HGT is less frequent in eukaryotes and particularly in Metazoa. Here, we propose Alienness, a taxonomy-aware web application available at http://alienness.sophia.inra.fr. Alienness parses BLAST results against public libraries...
