Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is one of the leading causes of blindness amongst children. ROP is prevalent amongst infants who do not complete the full gestation period, are underweight, weighing less than 1250g and are not completely developed. ROP seems to be CO-related with low gestation age, low birth weight, and prolonged exposure to supplemental oxygen in incubators herein we explore and discuss Retinopathy of Prematurity in its entirety, its classification, its causes, and risk factors…

There was no direct hormone evidence to confirm the pangolin’s gestation period. Therefore, the researchers had a study in Taipei Zoo to concentrate the serum progesterone in three pregnant and two non-pregnant rescued female Manis pentadactyla. In fact, the aim of this study is to evaluate the gestation period of limited number of rescued Manis pentadactyla using Progesterone Radioimmunoassay (P4 RIA) detection in serum samples. Pangolin…
