The immunolocalization of HIF‐2α, GLUT1 and CAIX in porcine oviduct during the estrous cycle
Abstract Oxygen (O2) rates in the oviduct are essential to human and animal reproduction. These rates are regulated by the activity of hypoxia markers such as the hypoxia‐inducible factors (HIFs), the glucose transporters (GLUT), and the carbonic anhydrase (CA).

GnRH agonist as a luteal support in IVF cycle: mini-review—is there a role?
Background It has been established that assisted reproductive technology (ART) cycles are usually accompanied by a defective luteal phase, and that luteal phase support (LPS) is mandatory to improve reproductive outcomes.

Abstract Objectives To compare the marginal and internal fit and fracture resistance of three‐unit provisional fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) fabricated by additive, subtractive, and conventional methods. Material and Methods Eighty 3‐unit FDPs were fabricated on metal dies of the maxillary right second premolar and second molar by four different ...

MRI reveals menstrually-related muscle edema that negatively affects athletic agility in young women. [PDF]
About 10% of Japanese female athletes are afflicted by menstrually-related edema, mainly in the lower limbs, and, with few studies on this problem, the effect on performance remains unclear.To quantitatively evaluate fluid retention in the calf in female

The effects of endocrine‐disrupting chemicals on ovarian‐ and ovulation‐related fertility outcomes
Abstract Exposure to endocrine‐disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is unavoidable, which represents a public health concern given the ability of EDCs to target the ovary. However, there is a large gap in the knowledge about the impact of EDCs on ovarian function, including the process of ovulation.

Extended depth-range profilometry using the phase-difference and phase-sum of two close-sensitivity projected fringes [PDF]
We propose a high signal-to-noise extended depth-range three-dimensional (3D) profilometer projecting two linear-fringes with close phase-sensitivity. We use temporal phase-shifting algorithms (PSAs) to phase-demodulate the two close sensitivity phases. Then we calculate their phase-difference and their phase-sum.

In this study, we supplemented the diet of breeding sows either with omega‐6 (control) or omega‐3 (experimental) polyunsaturated fatty acids and examined their effects on the antioxidant system and hormone levels of the animals. In the blood levels of molecules indicating oxidative stress we experienced slight changes, but the feeding of omega‐3 fatty ...

Complex Observation in Electron Microscopy VIII: Novel Hilbert Phase-plates to Maximize Phase-contrast Sensitivity [PDF]
Phase-plate transmission electron microscopy has recently regressed since a report that Volta phase-plate phase-contrast is less sensitive than non-phase-plate phase contrast, which leads to conventional defocusing phase-contrast. What about Hilbert phase-plate phase-contrast? We report that the Hilbert phase-plate method can survive if two experiments

Generalization Ability of Deep Learning Algorithms Trained Using SEM Data for Objects Classification
Abstract This paper proposes an efficient method to determine the material of spherical objects and the location of the receiving antenna relative to the object in bi‐static measurements using supervised learning techniques. From a single observation, we compare classification performances resulting from the application of several classifiers on ...

Short oestrous cycles in sheep during anoestrus involve defects in progesterone biosynthesis and luteal neovascularisation [PDF]
Anoestrous ewes can be induced to ovulate by the socio-sexual, 'ram effect'. However, in some ewes the induced ovulation is followed by an abnormally short luteal phase causing a so called, "short cycle".
