Mastitis in dairy cows is among the most important diseases of dairy cattle worldwide. Mastitis is most often the response of the host to an intramammary infection. Accurate and cost-effective methods of identifying mastitis pathogens are important for the diagnosis, surveillance, and control of this economically important disease. Rapid identification methods have the potential to be extremely...

Mastitis is the most common and costly disease of dairy cows (Hortet and Seegers, 1998; Zafalon et al., 2007); this is also the single most common reason for antimicrobial use in dairy herds, since antimicrobial therapy is the major primary tool for mastitis control in lactating and dry cows. Recently, coagulase-negative Staphylococci (CNS) are increasing in importance as cause of bovine intram...

fibroids are the most common benign tumors of the uterus during female reproductive age. uterine artery embolization (uae) using embolic particles (pva, gelfoam) to occlude the uterine arteries, have been reported as a relatively safe, effective, and durable nonsurgical alternative to hysterectomy in diminishing fibroid-related symptoms. to block the arterial blood supply to the fibroid complet...

variation of the branches of the external carotid artery (eca) is well known, but it is extremely rare for the occipital artery (oa) to arise from the internal carotid artery (ica). a 87-year-old man was found to have this anatomical variation on the right side by threedimensional computed tomography angiography for vascular mapping of the carotid arteries before superselective intra-arterial c...

a 73-year-old woman who had undergone coronary artery bypass grafting for coronary artery stenosis six years ago, presented with right lower extremity claudication. angiography revealed right external artery stenosis. elective external iliac ptca was performed complicated with simultaneous external iliac artery and vein rupture that was an exceedingly rare event. retroperitoneal laparotomy with...

although gastrointestinal bleeding is common, hemobilia due to the rupture of hepatic artery pseudoaneurysm is uncommon. we report a case of hemobilia which was successfully treated via angiography.

conclusions to our knowledge, this is the first case of ctc that was identified incidentally in the retrocaval position and caused intermittent obstruction of vena cava. case presentation the present study reports on a 66-year-old female with coronary artery disease (cad) who was scheduled for coronary artery bypass grafting (cabg) at our hospital. during mediastinal exploration and pericardiot...

ER: estrogen receptor IMDC: intramammary ductal carcinoma PCAC: primary cutaneous apocrine carcinoma PR: progesterone receptor INTRODUCTION Primary cutaneous apocrine carcinoma (PCAC) is a rare cutaneous adnexal tumor that presents a diagnostic challenge, with histology and staining mirroring those seen in mammary ductal carcinoma and other adnexal neoplasms. We report the first case, to our kn...

The health and integrity of teats and streak canals is positively correlated to udder health and the incidence of mastitis. One sign of a reduction in teat end integrity is formation of excessive callus known as hyperkeratosis. Seiber and Farnsworth were the first to identify teat end hyperkeratosis and establish a teat end scoring system. Scoring systems have been developed to help standardize...
