Synchronization of follicular wave before superovulation in dromedary camel by means of transvaginal follicle ablation.

The synchronization of follicular waves prior to the initiation of superovulation is a prerequisite for successful results. This study investigates the feasibility of applying transvaginal follicle ablation (TFA) as an alternative to hormonal treatments for synchronization in dromedary camels. In experiment 1, the follicular cycle of pre-synchronized and naturally cycling camels (n = 24) was monitored and all structures > 4 mm were ablated in subgroups of animals (n = 4 each) at early, mid, and late stages of the follicular cycle.

Prognostic Value of Cardiac Biomarkers in Patients Undergoing On-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: A Cohort Study in An Iranian Population.

Background: The predictive value of creatine kinase-myocardial band (CK-MB) and highsensitivity troponin T (hs-TnT) for adverse outcomes in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) has been well established in previous studies. However, most of these investigations have focused on perioperative complications. The present study assessed the preoperative and postoperative prognostic value of hs-TnT and CK-MB in individuals undergoing on-pump CABG.

A novel formulation of an eco-friendly calcium nitrate-based heavy completion fluid.

Calcium-nitrate-based transparent completion fluids are widely used in the oil and gas industry for well completion and stimulation operations in carbonate reservoirs. These fluids have many advantages, such as medium density, low corrosion, good temperature stability, low clay swelling, and high wettability. However, the density of calcium nitrate brine is limited by its solubility, which can be increased by the addition of alcohols.

The hidden link: How oral and respiratory microbiomes affect multiple sclerosis.

Background: Extensive research has explored the role of gut microbiota in multiple sclerosis (MS). However, the impact of microbial communities in the oral cavity and respiratory tract on MS is an emerging area of investigation.

Purpose: We aimed to review the current literature related to the nasal, oral, and lung microbiota in people with MS (PwMS).

A comparative study of brine solutions as completion fluids for oil and gas fields.

Completion fluids play a vital role in well-related processes within the oil extraction industry. This article presents a comprehensive study of the properties and performance of various brine solutions as completion fluids for different well and reservoir conditions. Attributes examined include density, corrosion resistance, temperature stability, compatibility with formation fluids, clay swelling potential and influence on wettability.
