The early adolescent pregnancy rate showed significant correlation with the rates of juvenile victimization of welfare crimes (obscenity, alcohol drinking, smoking and drug use) (Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient [rs]=0.42, P=0.00) and juvenile delinquency among junior high school students (12-14 years of age) (rs=0.69, AZD1480 chemical structure P=0.00).
ConclusionThe observed rise in rates of abortion, live birth and child sexual abuse among early adolescents along with strong ecological
correlations of their pregnancy rate with juvenile victimization and delinquency indicators suggests that epidemiological investigation and public health programs at the individual and community levels are needed to address the complex social roots of these trends and to produce effective improvements in early adolescent reproductive health.”
“Leaves SB202190 manufacturer and inflorescences of Stachys sylvatica L. (Lamiaceae) were collected from three different wild populations in Kosovo to study the natural variation of the chemical composition of essential oils, total flavonoids, total phenolics and the antioxidant activity. Essential oils were obtained by steam distillation and analysed by GC-FID and GC-MS, whereas total flavonoids,
total phenolics and antioxidant activities were determined by spectrophotometric methods. Yields of essential oils ranged from 0.001% to 0.007% (v per dry weight). Twenty-eight volatile constituents were identified. The main constituents were alpha-pinene, beta-pinene and germacrene-D. Total phenolics ranged from 39.3 to 70.8 mg g(-1) dry mass, whereas total flavonoid content ranged from 30.44 to 70.63mg g(-1) dm. The antioxidant activity, AG-14699 as measured
by the DPPH method, exhibited a rather high degree of activity ranging from 25.5% to 57.2%, whereas the FRAP antioxidant activity showed a lower variability and ranged from 93 to 133.4 mg g(-1) dm.”
“AimOur goal was to demonstrate the feasibility of pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the ewe.
Material and MethodsTwo ewes underwent a pelvic 3 Tesla MRI scan, under light anesthesia, with T2-weighted fast spin-echo images and T1-weighted spoiled gradient-echo images. Multiplan T1 weighted images were also obtained after the intravenous injection of a contrast product. One ewe was anestrous and the other one had undergone ovarian stimulation.
ResultsNo incident occurred during the examination. Both the uterus (with two horns) and the ovaries were identified. The intensity of the endometrial, myometrial and ovarian signals was similar to that encountered in women. The uterus and ovaries could be enhanced in both cases. Pelvic vasculature was also studied. In the case of hormonal stimulation, the endometrium was thicker, follicular growth was identified and enhancement seemed greater.
ConclusionMRI in the ewe is feasible and could be helpful in experimental gynecologic research, especially in uterus transplantation.
