| female sperm storage in reptiles. | internal fertilization and oviparity most likely are symplesiomorphies for modern reptiles, and viviparity has evolved independently numerous times in sauria and serpentes. oviducal sperm storage is known in females of all taxa except amphisbaenia. however, in rhynchocephalia and crocodilia, sperm storage is poorly studied, and specialized sperm storage tubules (ssts) are unknown. we use the molecular phylogenetic hypothesis [(chelonia+archosauria) (squamata)] to trace evolution of sperm storage ... | 2002 | 11754034 |

| comparison of direct and indirect tests for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth and antibiotic-responsive diarrhea in dogs. | controversy exists over the diagnosis of idiopathic small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (sibo) in dogs and some clinicians use the term antibiotic-responsive diarrhea (ard) in preference. however, whether such terms are interchangeable is not clear. to examine the relationship between duodenal bacterial numbers and a clinical response to antibiotics, sibo and ard were defined by nonoverlapping criteria. quantitative duodenal juice bacteriology and indirect serum biochemical tests were used to ... | 2003 | 12564725 |
