*Corresponding Address: [email protected] The study was conducted to estimate the prevalence of subclinical mastitis (SCM) in dairy cows in the Bhaktapur District of Nepal. A total of 200 milk samples were collected from 50 dairy cows. The California mastitis test (CMT) was carried out on quarter milk samples to determine the prevalence of subclinical mastitis. California Mastitis Test (CMT)...

Background Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy and is associated with foot deformity, gait abnormalities and functional impairment. Orthoses are often prescribed for children with CMT, yet the indication and type of prescription is usually based on clinical judgement due to the lack of high quality research in this field. Therefore, the aims of t...

Congenital muscular torticollis (CMT) is the third commonest congenital deformity, commonly presenting in the first week of life. Due to contracture and shortening of the sternocleidomastoid muscle, the head is tilted towards the affected side; however there may also be a varying degree of rotation towards the contralateral side. Most infants with CMT can be managed non-surgically, however if t...

Background: In prior studies, there has been no report of clinical observation postoperative reconnection the sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) in children with congenital muscular torticollis (CMT). Therefore, objective this study is to investigate factors associated SCM CMT, and provide evidence.

INTRODUCTION The topographic mapping is useful for monitoring patients for the development of macular edema and following the resolution of edema after laser treatment. OBJECTIVES To evaluate the usefulness of optical coherence tomography (OCT) for mapping of macula after laser therapy in clinically significant macular edema (CSME). MATERIALS AND METHODS A prospective study was carried out ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of palpation of the coccyx (the coccygeal movement test, CMT) as a possible objective screening tool for the assessment of adequate localization of the pelvic floor muscles (PFMs). SUBJECTS AND METHODS Twenty-four healthy female volunteers, known to be able to locate their PFMs, were given instructions (allocated at random) to perform a 'correct contraction', 'st...

BACKGROUND Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is a hereditary peripheral neuropathy; symptoms include distal wasting and weakness, usually with some sensory impairment. The clinical course is typically benign and the disease is not life threatening; however, in some cases, severe phenotypes include serious respiratory distress. CASE REPORT Here we describe a 45-year-old woman with a long cours...

BACKGROUND The limited within-breed genetic heterogeneity and an enrichment of disease-predisposing alleles have made the dog a very suitable model for the identification of genes associated with risk for specific diseases. Canine mammary cancer is an example of such a disease. However, the underlying inherited risk factors for canine mammary tumours (CMTs) are still largely unknown. In this st...
