  6. 24. Splitting the sexes : The birth and senescence of sex chromosomes

    Author : Aivars Cirulis; Evolutionär ekologi; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Sex chromosome; Sexual conflict; Macrostomum lignano; Experimental evolution; Genomics of sex;

    Abstract : The evolution of gonochorism from hermaphroditism can be gradual by increasing investment in one sex role while decreasing in the other, or rapid through the fixation of sex-role sterility mutations, eventually leading to the evolution of sex chromosomes. It is expected that the transition will involve a temporary state of gynodioecy or androdioecy as the mutations are not expected to take place at the same time. READ MORE

  7. 25. Minimal conization with carbon dioxide laser for treatment of cervical intra-epithelial neoplasia

    Author : Zoltan Bekassy; Lund Obstetrik och gynekologi; []

    Abstract : 3,100 non-pregnant women and 85 pregnants were miniconized during the 15-year period ending 1994 . The outpatient procedure of minimal conization using a freehand-guided, high power 60W carbon dioxide laser focused to 0.1 mm in spot-size, giving high power density 165,000 W/cm2, produces single-piece tissue specimens for histological examination.
