Duroc sows farrowed second litters in March and lactated 35 +/- 2 days. At 36 hr before weaning, electrocautery of follicles greater than or equal to 3 mm in diameter (n = 8) or sham surgery (n = 5) was performed to test the hypothesis that ablation of medium-sized follicles would prolong the duration of postweaning anestrus. Number of follicles and diameters at surgery were: 1.3 +/- .6 (greate...

Gastrointestinal leiomyomas are smooth muscle tumors arising from the muscularis mucosae, muscularis propriae and possibly from smooth muscle of the vessel wall. Management depends on the size, location and the clinical scenario. Endoscopic snare cauterization with or without saline lift has been described in literature for tumors involving the left colon.

Humans have had cancer throughout documented history; hence it is no surprise that people have written about this deadly disease through ancient history. The Edwin Smith Papyrus, the oldest description of cancer, was discovered around 3000-2500 BC in Egypt describing 8 breast tumors that were eradicated by cauterization with a fire drill. As expected back then, the statement of the Egyptian wri...
