Progesterone supplementation in the early luteal phase after artificial insemination improves conception rates in high-producing dairy cows.

This study examines the possible effects on the reproductive performance of high-producing dairy cows of progesterone (P4) given in the early luteal phase (1.55 g of P4), from Days 3 to 5 post-artificial insemination (AI) as compared with the time of pregnancy recognition, from Days 15 to 17 post-AI. Cows in their third day post-AI were alternately assigned on a weekly rotational basis to the foll...

Development of chronic hepatitis B infection in a hepatitis B vaccine responder.

The Hepatitis B vaccine is highly effective for the prevention of hepatitis B (HBV) infection. We report the development of chronic HBV infection (Genotype F) in a vaccinated immunocompetent individual with an anti-HBsAb of 35 mIU/mL post completion of vaccine series. HBV vaccine is based on recombinant proteins of genotype-A and D (predominant genotypes in Europe). It may not be as effective for ...

A LASSO Method to Identify Protein Signature Predicting Post-transplant Renal Graft Survival.

Identifying novel biomarkers to predict renal graft survival is important in post-transplant clinical practice. Serum creatinine, currently the most p...

Assessment of the pharmacokinetics, removal rate of hemodialysis, and safety of lactulose in hemodialysis patients.
