determination of milk yield potential using an accurate method is essential for assessing nutritional requirements, evaluation of genetic potential, lamb growth and survival, management decisions and improving performance traits of sheep flocks. exogenous oxytocin injection is applied to estimate milk secretion rate in sheep. oxytocin is a neurohormone produced in the hypothalamo-neurohypophysi...

in sheep industry, pregnancy rate after artificial insemination (ai) declines due to the complex anatomy of the cervix in ewes, such that it might prevent effective intrauterine insemination. at estrus, cervical relaxation occurs to some degree in ewes, which is regulated by the changes in the levels of reproductive hormones. this study aimed to evaluate the effects of estradiol and intravenous...

Oxytocin is recommended by the World Health Organisation as the most effective uterotonic for the prevention and treatment of postpartum haemorrhage. The requirement for parenteral administration by trained healthcare providers and the need for the drug solution to be maintained under cold-chain storage limit the use of oxytocin in the developing world. In this study, a spray-dried ultrafine fo...

Pitocin (oxytocin injection, USP) is a sterile, clear, colorless aqueous solution of synthetic oxytocin, for intravenous infusion or intramuscular injection. Pitocin is a nonapeptide found in pituitary extracts from mammals. It is standardized to contain 10 units of oxytocic hormone/mL and contains 0.5% Chlorobutanol, a chloroform derivative as a preservative, with the pH adjusted with acetic a...

background: pain originating from intramuscular (im) injection should not be underestimated, because it can damage the nurse–patient relationship. this research aimed at answering two main questions, whether acupressure is effective on pain severity dueto im injection or not and whether pain severity in two groups is different or not. materials and methods: this research was performed in govern...

BACKGROUND Primary postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) is one of the leading causes of maternal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The most common cause of primary PPH is uterine atony. Atonic PPH rates are increasing in developed countries despite routine active management of the third stage of labour. In less-developed countries, primary PPH remains the leading cause of maternal death. Although the ...
