Artificial Insemination on the Etawah Grade Goats Using Frozen Semen of Gembrong Goat

One of the efforts to conserve Gembrong Goats is through a crossbreeding with Etawah Grade Goats uses the artificial insemination (AI). This aim of the study was to find the result of AI using the frozen semen of Gembrong Goat on the Etawa Grade does. Eight heads selected Etawah Grade does age above 4 yr, weighted 32 kg to 57 kg and BCS 3–4 were estrous synchronized using 0.5 mL pgf2α hormone (lutelyze®) injected in intramuscular. The estrous observation was done during 60 h after synchronized by the histology epithelial cells of the vagina and the visual sign of estrous. AI was conducted after the onset of estrous through intravaginal. Gestation determined by transrectal ultrasonography (USG) on 50 d after AI. Descriptive analysis was applied inthe study. Sperm quality of the frozen semen shows that a good condition with motility and viability is 80 % and 85 %. All Etawah Grade does show the onset of estrous based visual signs, such as agitated, flicked the tail, the vulva was swelling, reddish and slimy. The observations of epithelial cells of the vagina to the characterized phase of estrous cycles. The result of the AI was not showed gestation after USG test, maybe caused byinseminator skills.

Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser syndrome: a review

Laura Londra, Farah S Chuong, Lisa KolpDivision of Reproductive Endocrinology and Infertility, Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics, Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, USAAbstract: The congenital aplasia or severe hypoplasia of mullerian structures is infrequent. However, the features of normal female endocrine function paired with the absence of a functional uterus and vagina makes it a fascinating entity. The diagnosis and work-up in these patients has become very efficient, thanks to the use of imaging, and there are multiple successful procedures for the creation of a neovagina. In recent years, infertility treatment options through in vitro fertilization have also become available as part of the long-term care of these patients.Keywords: vaginal agenesis, neovagina, MRKH, mullerian agenesi

Comprensión lectora y representación de múltiples fuentes de información en estudiantes universitarios: influencia de las discrepancias textuales sobre una tarea de producción de títulos y una tarea de reconocimiento de "quién dice qué"

Reading comprehension and the representation of multiple information sources in college students: The influence of text discrepancies on a title production task and a "who says what" recognition task. We conducted an experiment to examine the assumption that discrepant text assertions influence the encoding and later recognition of the information sources supporting those assertions, as compared to consistent assertions. Forty-two undergraduates (Age M = 20, SD = 1.55) read 24 fictional stories that presented two assertions produced by two different sources (i.e., two characters in the story). Assertion discrepancy was manipulated so that each statement was consistent or discrepant with the other statement. A title production task (during reading) and a source recognition task (after reading) were used as dependent measures. Discrepant assertions promoted both the production of titles focused on the discrepancy and correct source recognition. These results suggest that discrepancies are one relevant factor to promote critical reading of multiple viewpoints in a textSe estudió experimentalmente el supuesto de que los enunciados discrepantes de un texto influyen en la codificación y posterior reconocimiento de las fuentes de información de dichos enunciados en comparación con enunciados consistentes. Cuarenta y dos estudiantes universitarios (Edad M = 20, SD = 1.55) leyeron 24 noticias ficticias cortas que presentaron dos enunciados producidos por dos fuentes diferentes (i.e., dos personajes dentro de la noticia). Los enunciados se manipularon para que resultasen discrepantes o consistentes entre sí. Se recolectaron dos medidas dependientes: producción de títulos (durante la lectura) y tarea de reconocimiento de fuentes (luego de la lectura). Los enunciados discrepantes favorecieron tanto la producción de títulos centrados en la contradicción como el reconocimiento posterior de las fuentes. Estos resultados señalan la importancia de las discrepancias como elemento de promoción de lectura crítica de múltiples perspectivas en un texto
