Subclinical infections of the mammary gland and reproductive tract of dairy cattle cause significant production losses through decreased milk yield and lowered fertility. in the absence of overt signs of infection, there are no simple, reliable, diagnostic tools to accurately identify cows with these conditions, some of which may progress to a clinical stage at a later date. A search was undert...

Endometritis is a prevalent uterine infection in postpartum dairy cows that causes some alterations in the endometrium. So, the aim of this study was to determine the comparative cellular and histological characteristics of uterus, especially neutrophils index and cell morphological alterations, in healthy and endometritic Holstein cows. Thirty non-pregnant cows were used. Based on uterine disc...

Uterine inflammation occurs after calving in association with extensive endometrial remodelling and bacterial contamination. If the inflammation persists, it leads to reduced fertility. Chronic endometritis is highly prevalent in high-yielding cows that experience negative energy balance (NEB) in early lactation. This study investigated the effect of NEB on the antimicrobial peptides S100A8 and...

backgrounds: uterine infection is a amajor problem in reproductive management. objectives: the aim of this study was to find out the common pathological condition of cattle and buffaloes' uteri in the ahwaz region and, also to compare uterilesions. methods: one hundred and thirty eight cattle and 101 buffalo uteri were examined for macroscopic lesions, opening them through the cervix to the ape...

Maternal infection is a cause of adverse developmental outcomes. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced embryonic resorption, intra-uterine fetal death (IUFD) and preterm labor have been well characterized. In the present study, we investigated the effects of maternal LPS exposure on intra-uterine fetal growth and skeletal development. All pregnant mice except controls received an intraperitoneal inj...

BACKGROUND Uterine leiomyoma is remarkably common, however only a subset of women have their fibroids clinically detected, symptomatic, or warrant surgical treatment. Its removal is commonly associated with complications. To prevent or control the occurrence of this complication requires the understanding of the factors associated with the complications. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sociodemogra...

Background: Cesarean Scar Pregnancy (CSP) is caused by implantation of embryonic tissues into the left on uterine tissues left by previous Cesarean section. Severe consequences including uterine rupture and haemorrhage shock is highly likely without timely termination of pregnancy. Various surgical methods have been proposed but lacking a systemic guideline for choice of treatment. This study t...

The impression is general that the uterus under normal conditions does not harbor bacteria. This is supposedly true of both man and laboratory animals. Following parturition, however, serious uterine infections may occur. In laboratory animals short periods of treatment with estrogenic hormones have usually provided very little evidence of uterine infection.' Extensive leukocytic infiltration, ...

The objective was to review the effects of production stressors on reproductive performance of dairy cows. It has been well documented that genetic selection for milk yield over the last 50 yr has been associated with reduced fertility. In addition to negative associations between yield and conception rate, there is also an association between milk production and expression of behavioral estrus...

A rapid method is described for the isolation of Bacillus abortus from the peritoneal cavity of the guinea pig following the injection of uterine exudate or placental tissue.
