Dairy farmers have been longing for simple and economical methods of early pregnancy diagnosis. Urine based biochemical and mineral assays could be one of those methods, owing to the ease of sample collection and relatively simple and economical assays involved. However, basic information on changes in urinary composition during early pregnancy in cattle is lacking. This study was designed to e...

This study was designed to determine the effects of GnRH administration alone at time artificial insemination (AI) or in combination with hCG 5 days after injection on conception rates postpartum dairy cows. Cows estrus, without any reproductive health problem, between 70-120 were randomly assigned 3 equal groups. Buserelin acetate (10 µg), administered AI Group I (n=40). II (n=40) first μg) an...

Background: Prostate biopsy was used to diagnose and establish a therapy for prostate cancer (PCa). Instead of using conventional finger-guided (FGPB) approximate prostatic architecture, transrectal ultrasonography-guided biopsies the (TRUSGB) have become more popular nowadays because offer direct visualization. However, lack availability ultrasound probes in less-developed regions raises conce...

Preoperative staging of rectal cancer assists in surgical decision making regarding the suitability of curative local excision as well as in the selective use of preoperative adjuvant radiation and chemoradiation, both of which have been shown to reduce the incidence of loco-regional cancer recurrence substantially. Most colorectal units employ endorectal ultrasound (ERUS) in the assessment to ...

OBJECTIVE To determine the detection rate and clinical pattern of prostate cancer in Kuwait. SUBJECTS AND METHODS One hundred and fifty-three males suspected of having prostate cancer based on elevation of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) of more than 4 ng/ml underwent transrectal-ultrasound (TRUS)-guided needle biopsy of the prostate between January 2003 and January 2008; these formed the stu...

Prostate is of great clinical importance and ultrasonography is an ideal diagnostic aid. High frequency transrectal ultrasonography (TRUS) provides a remarkably detailed view of the prostate. This study is aimed at demonstrating the ultrasonographic changes in the human prostate disorders during successive physiological changes of growth. This was an observational study done in Regional cancer ...
