Introduction: The finding of only sperm heads and/or short tails (SHST) during vasectomy reversal (VR) creates a difficult decision for the best method of vasal reconstruction, i.e.vasovasostomy (VV) or epididymovasostomy (EV).Using outcome analyses, we report the impact of SHST alone and combined with qualitative analysis of gross fluid quality in

Furniture Hypotonia is a concern, with high morbidity and poor outcomes in 10% of neonatal care cases.Neonatal hypotonia presents a diagnostic challenge for neonatologists, as it may be a sign of a central nervous disorder (hypoxic-ischemic insult, intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral palsy), inborn errors of metabolism, a primary neuromuscular disord

The pulvinar is the largest thalamic nucleus in the brain and considered as a key structure in sensory processing and attention.Although its anatomy is well known, in particular thanks to studies in non-human primates, its role in perception and cognition remains poorly understood.Here, we used resting-state functional connectivity from a large sam

Solitary bees in seasonal environments must align their life-cycles with favorable environmental conditions and resources; the timing of their emergence is highly fitness relevant.In several bee species, overwintering temperature influences both emergence date and body weight at emergence.High variability in emergence dates among specimens overwint

In the Inner Mongolian steppe, China, sheep generally graze during daytime and are kept in yards overnight.Hence, nutrients are not returned to the grassland, which Cutters might reduce its long-term productivity.Furthermore, the restricted grazing time may limit forage intake and thus the performance of sheep.The aim of this study was therefore to
