In 664 primiparous gilts inseminated twice after oestrus synchronization, the timing of insemination had an important effect on conception rate and litter size. Best results (586 liver piglets per 100 pregnancies) were achieved by a first insemination on the afternoon of the 6th day. Another trial, with sexually mature gilts which were subsequently slaughtered, invloved artificial insemination at a planned time after synchronization of oestus with TRUISYNCHRON plus injection of Prolosan. Pregnancy rate and embryo count on the 29th day after synchronization were good when the first insemination was made on the evening of the 5th day and the second on the evening of the 6th day. Insemination on the morning and evening of the 6th day gave better results than on the evening of the 5th and morning of the 6th day.

Objective: Endoscopic arytenoid abduction lateropexy (EAAL) is a minimally invasive surgical technique for the immediate management of bilateral vocal fold palsy (BVFP). Specifically, it achieves a stable and adequate airway by lateralizing the arytenoid cartilage without resecting laryngeal structures. Thus, this study evaluated the effect of EAAL on swallowing in cases of BVFP.

Background: This in vitro study evaluated the efficacy of professional and home-use fluoride regimens for protecting irradiated enamel, undergoing pH cycling resembling xerostomia.
Methods: Sixty human premolar teeth were irradiated with a total dose of 70 Gy and subsequently sectioned into 3 × 3 cm enamel slabs. These slabs were randomly distributed into five groups (n = 12 per group): professional-use groups received fluoride varnish either weekly (FV1) or biweekly (FV2); home-use groups applied 5000 ppm (FT5) or 1450 ppm (FT) fluoride toothpaste; and a control group (control) received no treatment.

Insulin-like peptides (ILPs) are important peptide hormones in insects, particularly involved in regulating physiological processes such as growth, development, and reproduction. However, the specific roles of ILPs in the reproduction of natural enemy insects remain unknown. In this study, two ILP genes, and , were cloned and their functions were analyzed in female L.

Intestinal microbes are known to impact the growth and development of insects. However, there are few reports on the intestinal microbiota of silkworms (). The present study used Illumina 16S rRNA gene sequencing to investigate the changes over time in the intestinal bacteriome of fifth-instar silkworms fed mulberry leaf (MB) or artificial diet (AD).
