Abstract Development of a bioartificial renal tubule with a confluent monolayer of renal epithelial cells supported on a permeable synthetic surface may be the first step to further optimization of renal substitution therapy currently used with hemodialysis or hemofiltration. Madin-Darby canine kidney cells, a permanent renal epithelial cell line, were seeded into the lumen of […]
The shape of the endometrium evaluated with three-dimensional ultrasound
Abstract Woman, as a recipient of a collective effort from the legislatures, may be most thankful for perhaps a micro effect which started as small but have grown its spread to far and deep into the most vulnerable society. The biggest achievement of microfinance is touted as women empowerment and is true also to a […]
High frequency of well-defined Y-chromosome deletions
Abstract Idiopathic Sertoli cell-only syndrome (SCOS) is characterized by azoospermia, small testes, absence of germ cells in the testes, elevated follicle stimulating hormone and normal testosterone concentrations. The Y-chromosome is involved in the regulation of spermatogenesis and in the pathogenesis of a fraction of idiopathic male infertility. An azoospermia factor (AZF) is present on the […]
Ultrasound screening for congenital uterine anomalies
Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of congenital uterine anomalies in 1046 women attending gynaecological ultrasound clinics for a variety of indications. Using three-dimensional ultrasound, anomalies were found in 55 women (5.4%), including 32 (3.1%) with an arcuate uterus and 23 (2.3%) with major anomalies. You can trade on the […]
Detection of congenital müllerian duct anomalies
Abstract PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess the value of 3-dimensional sonography in the diagnosis of congenital müllerian duct anomalies, which cause infertility, preterm labor, and first trimester abortion. METHODS: A prospective study was undertaken in which 40 patients with histories of repeated spontaneous abortions or infertility were first examined using conventional […]
Combined cytogenetic and Y chromosome microdeletion screening
The initial step in stock trading is thought to be the toughest one, but there are equally compelling challenges in the trading field to be overcome in order to achieve the success that a trading market beams of. Rags to riches stories have always propelled the popularity of stock markets, traders, and investment brokers. Every […]
Reconstitution of human urothelium from monolayer cultures
Abstract PURPOSE: We established a 3-dimensional organ culture model of urinary tract tissue in which to study the effects of seeding cultured urothelial cells onto de-epithelialized urothelial stroma. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Normal human urinary tract tissues were placed in organ culture or used to establish urothelial cell cultures. At passage 2 cell cultures were harvested […]
The incidence and possible relevance of Y-linked microdeletions
Abstract Microdeletions linked to deletion intervals 5 and 6 of the Y chromosome have been associated with male factor infertility. Members from at least two gene families lie in the region containing azoospermia factor (AZF), namely YRRM and DAZ. With the advent of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), it is possible for men with severe male […]
Y-chromosome deletions in idiopathic severe testiculopathies
Abstract A genetic etiology has been recently proposed for some severe forms of idiopathic male infertility and a region of the Y chromosome long arm (Yq) defined AZF is thought to be critical for the regulation of spermatogenesis. To date, two genes, YRRM and DAZ, have been identified in AZF, but the actual relationship between […]
Expression of mal is associated with urothelial differentiation in vitro
As a beginner in any field, you need a guide to start with. If not an advisor, at least an assistant to help you get through the initial hurdles of any process. To a new kid who is about to start the ride through the digital currency world, there are certain points to read […]
