Uterine function is often compromised in cattle by bacterial contamination of the uterine lumen after parturition, and pathogenic bacteria often persist, causing uterine disease, a key cause of infertility in cattle. However, the definition or characterization of uterine disease frequently lacks precision or varies among research groups. The aim of the present paper was to provide clear clinica...

An impaired uterine environment triggered by the incidence of subclinical endometritis often compromises fertility in the bovine. The uterus is a dynamic organ with tight regulation of specific genes at the transcriptional and translational levels. Herein, we hypothesised that subclinical endometritis alters the expression of uterine microRNAs (miRNAs), which may result in the dysregulation of ...

The cut-off point of a diagnostic test is the determination minimum value at which an individual can be diagnosed as sick. To obtain good position, analysis carried out using statistical ROC Curve (Receiver Operating Characteristic), used in determining diagnosis with highest sensitivity and specificity. glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) for uterine diseases not described. tolerable described 130...

The aim of this study was to determine the percentage of participation of particular species of microorganisms, isolated from the uterus of cows with endometritis and from cows without inflammatory lesions of the uterus, in the same postpartum period. The aim of the study was also to examine how long after parturition non-treated endometritis persists. Moreover, antibiotic susceptibility tests ...

Postpartum reproductive disorders cause heavy economic losses in dairy sector. Uterine infections include endometritis, metritis, mucometra, and pyometra. Postpartum endometritis in dairy cows has been defined as inflammation of endometrium occurring 21 days or more after parturition without systemic signs of illness. The treatment of endometritis with antimicrobials has met with varying degree...

Reduced fertility associated with fluid accumulation has been recognized for many years in broodmares. This subfertility is caused by an unsuitable environment for the developing conceptus within the uterus, and in some cases, the ensuing endometritis persists and causes early regression of the corpus luteum (CL). Persistent mating-induced endometritis has come to be recognized as a major reaso...

The aim of presented study was to compare the effect of intrauterine ozone and rifaximine treatment in cows with subclinical endometritis. The study was conducted on 53 Simmental cows with subclinical endometritis, which was diagnosed by ultrasonographic examination. According to results, interval between treatment to pregnancy (46.4±6.2 vs. 40.0±6.0), interval from calving to pregnancy (129.4±...

Mycoplasma genitalium is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) that can bring about a wide range of clinical conditions, including cervicitis, endometritis, urethritis, and pelvic inflammatory disease.1,2 In the general population, the prevalence of M. genitalium ranges from 1% to 3%, and in higher risk populations it ranges from 10% to 40%, often exceeding the prevalence of Neisseria gonorrho...

The successful genetic selection for higher milk production caused a dramatic decline in the reproductive performance of dairy cows all over the world during the last decades. Achievement of optimum herd reproductive performance (calving interval of 12 months or 13 months with the first calf born at 24 months of age) requires concentrated management activities especially during the first 100 da...

Xanthogranulomatous inflammation is a distinguished histopathological entity affecting several organs, predominantly the kidney and gallbladder. So far, only a small number of cases of xanthogranulomatous inflammation occurring in female genital tract have been described, most frequently affecting the endometrium and histologically characterized by replacement of endometrium by xanthogranulomat...
