Progesterone and preterm birth [PDF]
International Journal of Gynecology & Obstetrics, 2020 AbstractProgestogens (vaginal progesterone and intramuscular 17‐hydroxyprogesterone acetate) are widely recommended for women at high risk of preterm birth. Typical regimens include 17‐hydroxyprogesterone caproate (250 mg intramuscularly weekly), starting at 16–20 gestational weeks until 36 weeks or delivery for women with a singleton gestation and a ...

Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Bicyclic Pyrazolines with Promising Antimicrobial Activities
ChemMedChem, EarlyView.Continuous flow technology is exploited for the generation of bicyclic pyrazolines via photo‐click reactions. These heterocyclic species contain a valuable 3D scaffold along with a polar succinimide moiety. Subsequent antimicrobial testing reveals that halogenated moieties such as chlorine atoms and trifluoromethoxy groups enhance the potency of these ...

Faecal steroid measurements for the assessment of reproductive function in Japanese quail (Coturnix coturnix japonica) and kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Physiology at Massey University [PDF]
, 2002 The kakapo (Strigops habroptilus) is an endangered parrot endemic to New Zealand and little is known of its reproductive physiology. Reproductive function is conventionally determined by the measurement of reproductive steroids in plasma samples. This is
