Memoirs of My Vulva: An Exploration of Female Genitalia as Figures in Autobiographical Graphic Narratives
… patriarchal narratives by exploring the vulva not as an object of eroticisation or stigma but as a subject with autonomy and agency. Through personal and reflective theoretical approaches, the research crafts a narrative that bridges individual experiences with collective feminist issues, …

The role of the C. elegans transcription factor LIN-11 in cell fate specification
<p>Vulval differentiation in Caenorhabditis elegans is a well characterized developmental system in which three vulval precursor cells divide, generating the 22 nuclei that form the functional wild type vulva. Additionally, the combined formation of the vulva and the uterus is a model for …

Detecting estrus in sows using a robotic imaging system and neural networks
… to objectively evaluate and quantify sow's vulva size using a LiDAR camera; (2): develop a robotic imaging system to monitor individual sow's behavior for estrus detection using artificial intelligence; (3): develop an image processing pipeline to automatically evaluate sow's vulva size for …

The Presence of Staphylococcus Aureus on Mothers Admitted to Selected Maternity Unit
… were obtained from the nares and external vulva of all mothers upon admission to the maternity unit, and from the nares and head of their infants after delivery. Of the one hundred and forty mothers participating, specimens were also obtained from the external vulva of sixty-six mothers …

The genetic analysis of the vulval cell lineages of Caenorhabditis elegans
… cell lineage, that of the hermaphrodite vulva. During vulval development, six equipotentlal cells of the ventral hypodermis respond to an inductive signal from the gonadal anchor cell to adopt one of three fates dependent upon position. Thus, the vulva is a model system to study the …

Strategies for improving reproductive performance in gilts
… of sow longevity and has been associated with vulva development at approximately 100 days of age. To determine the effectiveness of scoring gilts according to prepubertal vulva width as a means of identifying reproductive superior replacements, physical measurements were recorded at 15 weeks of …

Eficacia del láser de Co2 en el tratamiento del liquen escleroso vulvar refractario
El liquen escleroso vulvar (LEV) es una dermatosis inflamatoria crónica que afecta de forma predominante a la vulva. Ha sido descrito en todos los grupos etarios, pero tiene mayor prevalencia en mujeres postmenopáusicas. Se desconocen las causas por lo que se atribuye probablemente a una …

Feasibility Study of Liquid-Based Cytology for Post-Treatment Surveillance of Patients with Vulvar Intraepithelial Neoplasia
… biopsy remain the gold standard for diagnosing vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN). Vulvar colposcopy is fairly nonspecific. As a result, many women undergo unwarranted painful biopsies. Vulvar cytology, which is relatively painless, inexpensive and allows a larger area to be sampled, may …

Glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis controls C. elegans vulval morphogenesis and is required for the first cell division during embryogenesis
… a group of C. elegans mutants defective in vulval morphogenesis. We established that the morphogenetic defect is caused by disruption in biosynthesis of chondroitin glycosaminoglycans by molecular identification and characterization of five sqv (uashed vulva) genes. Glycosaminoglycans are …

Untersuchung des CFL-Phänotyps ("congenital fused labia" ) in dem Neuweltaffen Common Marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) unter demographischen, physiologischen und zytogenetischen Gesichtspunkten
… befasst sich mit dem Phänotyp der verschlossenen Vulva (congentital fused labia; CFL-Phänotyp) in jungen und erwachsenen weiblichen Weißbüschelaffen. Beim CFL-Phänotyp handelt es um einen Verschluss der beiden Labia majora durch ein bindegewebiges Häutchen in verschiedenen Ausprägungen. Im …

Microfluidic Devices for Neural and Behavioral Screening of C.Elegans using Electric Field
… the results indicated the involvement of the vulva neurons in electrotaxis, which implied that the head neurons are not solely responsible for electrotaxis. Since vulva neurons showed involvement in C. elegans electrosensation, in Objective 3, we introduced, for the first time, a novel …

Analysis and suppression of mutant sel-12 in Caenorhabditis elegans
… defect which results in a blockage of the vulva-uterine connection and (ii) a sex-muscle patterning defect leading to morphologically abnormal and misattached vulva-muscles. In order to find new molecules that are able to influence presenilin mediated signaling we screened for extragenic …

The Evolution of Organ Shape : Distal Tip Cell Migration and Gonadogenesis in Nematodes
… DTCs in P. pacificus receive a signal from the vulva to extend ventrally during development. However, it is not clear how the DTCs are responding to dorsal/ventral positional information to accomplish this novel migration. Here, we show early data that the Netrin cell guidance cue may be …

The Roles of daf-6 and Cell-Cell Interactions in Sensory Organ Morphogenesis
… structures, such as the excretory system and vulva. Thus, a similar genetic pathway is required for the formation of different lumens. Secondly, I conducted a forward genetic screen and identified and characterized mutations that suppress the lumen formation defects in daf-6 mutants. Finally, …

Spermatogenesis and oogenesis of Haemonchus contortus, a nematode parasitic in the abomasum of sheep and other ruminants
… of the sperm cells upon entrance into the vulva and the anatomical location in the female where the sperms are collected for the purpose of fertilization of the ova. No histologic section, depicting the entrance of the sperm into the ova, has been observed but the developmental stages …

Genital sensation: abrasive bodies in feminist performance
… the female genitalia and questions whether vulvar works can disrupt the phallocentric models of exclusion, absence and lack. Working from a poststructuralist perspective and drawing on notions of the feminist nomad and transdisciplinarity as a related methodology (Braidotti, 1994), this …

Plant-parasitic nematodes: from genomics to functional analysis of parasitism genes
