Abstract: Methods and compositions for synchronizing the time of insemination in swine are described. More particularly, methods are described for synchronizing the time of insemination by administration of a composition comprising a hormone, wherein the swine is inseminated only one time after administration of the hormone, and wherein there is no heat detection.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for synchronizing the time of insemination in gilts are provided. More particularly, methods and compositions for synchronizing the time of insemination in gilts using a gonadotropin-releasing hormone and a hormone for synchronizing estrus are provided.

Abstract: The invention relates to compositions for synchronizing the time of insemination in an animal. More particularly, the invention relates to a process for manufacturing and stabilizing GnRH-containing compositions for use in synchronizing the time of insemination in an animal.

Abstract: Mechanisms for ensuring patient compliance with a prescribed patient protocol are disclosed. A media device receives a first request for a service. In response to receiving the first request, the media device sends a first message to a remote health server device. The media device receives, from the remote health server device, a second message containing presentation content that indicates that a patient associated the media device is non-compliant with a particular health measurement task. In response to the second message, the media device presents the presentation content to the patient.

Abstract: Mechanisms for patient health monitoring are disclosed. A health server device receives a first message that originates from a media device associated with a patient. The first message indicates that the patient desires a service from the media device. A patient protocol of the patient is accessed, and a health data determination is made based on the patient protocol. An action is performed based on the health data determination.

Abstract: The present invention concerns transgenic animals that express an abnormaly high level of phospholipase A.sub.2 in their serum, liver, lung, kidney and skin. More particularly rats and mice expressing human non-pancreatic, low molecular weight phospholipase A.sub.2 are disclosed. Although transfected with a normal human gene, the animals develop a variety of pathological signs and produce the enzyme ectopically. The animals of the invention are useful for the testing of compounds to determine whether the compounds possess in vivo activity as phospholipase inhibitors or antagonists suitable for pharmacolgic use.
