Our purpose was to determine the effect of epidural analgesia on nulliparous labor and delivery. Nonnal term nulliparous women in spontaneous labor were divided into two groups in a quazi-experimental study, 100 in each group. The first group received epidural analgesia and the second had no analgesia at all. In the first group, an epidural catheter was placed in 3-4 cm cervical dilatation ...

The full term non descriptive buffaloe was presented with the complaint of straining since 10 hrs. After careful physical, clinical, per vaginal examination the case was diagnosed as dystocia due to incomplete dilatation of cervix and presence of abnormal fetus in...

Design. A cross-sectional study. Setting. A university hospital, Southern Thailand. Study participants. All 719 medical records of women undergoing a ces...

Arthrogryposis, is one of the congenita anomalies reported in cattle and other domestic animals, is an extreme form of contracted tendons in which many joints are in flexed state. The present report about a rare case of dystocia due to Arthrogryposis multiplex foetus in a HF cross cow which was relieved per vaginally by traction. Keyword: Dystocia, traction, pervaginal, Arthrogryposis, HF cross...

An evaluation of natural twinning in beef cattle revealed that cows birthing twins had shorter (P less than .01) gestation lengths, more (P less than .01) retained placentas, more (P less than .01) dystocia, more (P less than .01) days to estrus, lower (P less than .01) conception rates and more (P less than .01) days to pregnancy than cows birthing singles. Days to estrus, conception rate and ...

This study aims to determine the risk factors for dystocia in primiparous and pluriparous dams at site. Cases of dystocia, both maternal fetal, were obtained as secondary data from records Situbondo Regency Animal Husbandry Service year 2020 2021. Tracking on these was carried out look cows experienced owners’ names addresses interviews using a questionnaire worksheet. Interviews conducted Febr...

Out of 5970 calvings, 4.29% had an abnormal course (dystocia). The occurrence of stillbirths was 6.98% of all births and 4.15% of normal course births. Stillbirths occurred in 70.31% of dystocias. The highest frequency of stillbirths was in Blonde d ́Aquitaine (8.59%) and the lowest in Gasconne (3.96%) cows. A narrow pelvis and an oversized foetus were the causes of more than 50% cases of dystoc...

The aim of the study was to evaluate oxidative stress in cows undergoing normal parturition and cows suffering from dystocia. The erythrocytic glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activity, plasma vitamin A and ß-carotene concentrations, and paraoxonase PON1 activity were lowered (P<0.001, P<0.01, 0.05, and 0.05, respectively) in cows with dystocia compared to normal calving cows. The erythrocytic m...

Dystocia scores were recorded by producers on 120,434 Holsteins (218,213 records) from 1985 through 1996; dystocia scores 3 to 5 were coded as difficult births. Stillbirths were recorded for deaths within the first 48 h after birth. Data were restricted to registered cows for pedigree completeness, and inbreeding coefficients were calculated using 5-generation pedigrees. Computational restricti...
