Maternal serum concentrations of perfluoroalkyl acids in five international birth cohorts.

International journal of hygiene and environmental health
BACKGROUND: Perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) are persistent and bioaccumulating compounds, which are spread all over the globe. We aimed to compare the PFAA concentrations in serum from pregnant women in five birth cohorts from four countries (Denmark, C...

Intelligent Noninvasive Diagnosis of Aneuploidy: Raw Values and Highly Imbalanced Dataset.

IEEE journal of biomedical and health informatics
The objective of this paper is to introduce a noninvasive diagnosis procedure for aneuploidy and to minimize the social and financial cost of prenatal diagnosis tests that are performed for fetal aneuploidies in an early stage of pregnancy. We propos...

ADAMTS-3, -13, -16, and -19 levels in patients with habitual abortion.

The Kaohsiung journal of medical sciences
A disintegrin-like and metalloproteinase domain with thrombospondin-type 1 motifs (ADAMTS) protein superfamily includes 19 secreted metalloproteases. Proteolytic substrates of ADAMTS enzymes have been linked to reproductive function. The aim of this ...

Fertility of lactating dairy cows treated with gonadotropin-releasing hormone at AI, 5 days after AI, or both, during summer heat stress.

Theriogenology
Objectives of this experiment were to evaluate pregnancy per AI (P/AI) and progesterone (P4) concentrations after AI of lactating dairy cows under heat stress conditions treated with 100 μg gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) at AI, 5 d after AI, o...

Effect of energy balance profiles on metabolic and reproductive response in Holstein and Swedish Red cows.

Theriogenology
This study examined the effect of two feeding levels during the antepartum and postpartum period on reproductive performance and blood metabolites (glucose, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA), insulin) in primiparous Holstein and Swedish Red (SRB) cow...

A systematic review and meta-analysis of the effect of prophylactic tranexamic acid treatment in major benign uterine surgery.

International journal of gynaecology and obstetrics: the official organ of the International Federation of Gynaecology and Obstetrics
BACKGROUND: The value of tranexamic acid (TA) treatment as bleeding prophylaxis in major uterine surgery is unclear.

Minimum effective fluid volume of colloid to prevent hypotension during caesarean section under spinal anesthesia using a prophylactic phenylephrine infusion: An up-down sequential allocation study.

Journal of clinical anesthesia
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to de termine the minimum effective fluid volume (MEFV) of hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 (HES) infused in a preload fashion which would prevent hypotension in 50% of parturients undergoing caesarean section. A...

Optimization of post-cervical artificial insemination in gilts: Effect of cervical relaxation procedures and catheter type.

Theriogenology
Post-cervical (pC) artificial insemination (AI) has been successfully developed for application in multiparous sows, although it has proved problematic in gilts. This study analyzes the use of pC-AI in gilts by two experiments. In the first experimen...

Influence of post-insemination nutrition on embryonic development in beef heifers.

Theriogenology
Previous studies have demonstrated that a decrease in nutrition immediately following AI reduces pregnancy success in beef heifers. The objective of this experiment was to determine if nutrient restriction following AI impacted early embryonic develo...
