Article Synopsis
- Endoscopic-assisted transcervical inseminations (TCIs) were studied from January 2018 to December 2021, involving 267 insemination cases with different types of semen (fresh, chilled, frozen-thawed).
- The study found pregnancy rates were highest for fresh semen (83.21%), followed by chilled (67.16%) and frozen-thawed (66.67%); litter sizes were significantly larger for fresh semen (6.82 puppies) compared to chilled (5.21) and frozen-thawed (4.59).
- Using sedation during insemination did not affect pregnancy rates, and performing two TCIs during the fertile period improved pregnancy rates and litter sizes slightly, although these changes were
Background And Objectives: This study investigated the interaction between a set of factors commonly associated with vitamin D production and nutritional intake and serum 25(OH)D levels among older adults.
Methods: Cross-sectional study on 346 adults over 60 years. Serum 25(OH)D levels were measured following routine biochemical laboratory protocols.
The Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) has the objective quality of transportation improvement through transportation system monitoring and management and makes the trip more comfortable and safer for drivers and passengers. The mobile clouds can assist the ITS in handling the resource management problem. However, resource allocation management in an ITS is challenging due to vehicular network characteristics, such as high mobility and dynamic topology.
