Ten years of data on the reproductive biology of the Chacoan peccary (Catagonus wagneri) were analyzed to determine average litter size, sex ratio, timing of births, and individual and age-specific fecundity. Data were obtained from a captive herd of chacoan peccaries located in the western Paraguay

Methyltestosterone and estrone were administered orally to fry of the goldfish, Carassius auratus, daily for two months; thereafter, they were raised on a normal diet. All but one of the methyltestosterone-treated fish developed into males, while all estrone-treated fish developed into females. Of s
We evaluated whether regular mammographic screening of women aged 65 years or older affected breast cancer mortality. In Nijmegen, a population-based screening program for breast cancer was started in 1975, with biennial mammography for women aged 35-64 years. Since 1977, elderly women have also bee
To obtain information on the remodeling of sperm chromatin during male pronuclei formation, we have followed the sperm specific histones (SpH) that form the nucleosomal core by Western imunoblot analysis with policlonal antibodies directed against the core SpH. The results obtained indicate that the
restrictive definition of TDDs (all five digits affected) may limit the ability to evaluate the association between CVS and TDDs in populations in whom CVS is usually performed at or after 10 weeks' gestation; and highlight the necessity to consider gestational age in any evaluation of the relative
