OUTCOMES OF INTRAUTERINE DEVICE INSERTION BY CERTIFIED MIDWIVES AND OBSTETRIC NURSE PRACTITIONERS


Enhanced tolerance to water stress in adults of the South India strain of the seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus (Coleoptera: Bruchidae), as a product of large body size

A water balance study was conducted on newly-emerged adults of seed beetle, Callosobruchus maculatus, to explore how South India strain survives longer than Brazil strain in laboratory cultures.No difference between strains was noted with regard to dehydration tolerance, and water conservation features confirm classification of this species as xero

Replicative virus shedding in the respiratory tract of patients with Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus infection

Background: Information on the duration of replicative Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus Blind Spot Detection Kit (MERS-CoV) shedding is important for infection control.The detection of MERS-CoV sub-genomic mRNAs indicates that the virus is replicative.This study examined the duration for detecting MERS-CoV sub-genomic mRNA compared with
