Polycystic ovarian syndrome and miscarriage in IVF: systematic revision of the literature and meta-analysis.

Purpose: To evaluate the risk of miscarriage in IVF cycles in women with PCOS.

Methods: Systematic review and meta-analysis. Systematic search of MEDLINE, EMBASE and Google Scholar.

A dataset with complete geographic distributions of eight zonal monospecific forest types in mainland Spain.

Distribution area and surface are both parameters of paramount importance for habitat management, monitoring and conservation. Here we present the distribution of eight zonal forest types of mainland Spain that are consistent with the Habitat Types (HT) listed in Annex I of the European Union Habitats Directive 92/43 EC. Their dominant species and HT codes are (9120, 9130 and 9150), and (9230), (9330), (9430), ssp.

Hydrolytic enzyme activities of extracted humic substances during the vermicomposting of a lignocellulosic olive waste.

Humic substances and three hydrolytic enzymes (beta-glucosidase, phosphatase and urease) were extracted by neutral sodium pyrophosphate from an olive waste (dry olive cake), alone or mixed with municipal biosolids, during a nine month vermicomposting process. Easily degradable compounds decreased during the vermicomposting process because of microbial consumption. When municipal biosolids were added to dry olive cake, microbial activity increased and the amounts of compounds extracted by pyrophosphate were three times lower than olive cake alone.

Vermicomposting of a lignocellulosic waste from olive oil industry: a pilot scale study.

The vermicomposting with Eisenia andrei of dry olive cake, a lignocellulosic waste produced during the extraction of olive oil, either alone or mixed with municipal biosolids, was studied in a nine-month pilot scale experiment. Number and biomass of earthworms and enzyme activities were periodically monitored and relevant properties of the final products were determined. In the assayed substrates, the total biomass of earthworms increased at the end of the experimental period between 9 and 12-fold respectively in comparison with the earthworm biomass initially inoculated.
