Lactating adenoma is one of the breast tumours associated with pregnancy. A case of lactating adenoma, unusual on account of its huge size, is presented. Large size and history of rapid growth can lead to a mistaken diagnosis of malignancy. A review of the literature of this particular tumour with the different views on its histogenesis and the differential diagnoses are also discussed.

OBJECTIVE To assess the sonographic findings of breast masses in adolescents and the usefulness of sonographic patterns for suggesting a specific diagnosis. METHODS The sonograms and medical records of 57 girls (mean age, 15.4 years) with palpable breast masses were retrospectively reviewed. Three observers reviewed the sonograms for multiple sonographic findings. Surgery or clinical findings...

We present an atypical presentation of a common pregnancy-related breast mass, a lactating adenoma with imaging and pathologic correlation. The patient presented with a rapidly enlarging left breast mass associated with skin changes and severe pain in the perinatal period. Core biopsies were considered discordant, and the patient went on to surgical excision for the definitive diagnosis of an i...

Background: Comparison of the effect of lactation on expression of RFRP-3 mRNA in dorsomedial hypothalamic nucleus (DMH) and KiSS-1 mRNA in arcuate nucleus (ARC) of hypothalamus in lactating and nonlactating rat Materials and Methods: Fourteen rats of the Sprague- Dawley strain were randomly allotted into three groups. The non-lactating rats (n=5) were separated from their pups immediately upon...

The present study was conducted on buffaloes that were non-cycling (heifers, n=32; lactating, n=13) or cycling (heifers, n=11; lactating, n=27) and in the buffaloes that conceived (heifers; n=11; lactating, n=23)or failed to conceive (heifers, n=32; lactating, n=17) subsequent to artificial insemination. Plasma samples were analyzed for thyroid stimulating hormone, thyroid hormones, glucose, to...

The present study was designed to assess progesterone profiles at the secreted (caudal vena cava) and circulating levels (jugular vein) and luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion pattern in lactating and non-lactating cows with reference to feeding. Four lactating and four non-lactating cycling Holstein cows were examined. Blood samples were collected simultaneously from the caudal vena cava (via a...

Introduction: Gonadotropin inhibitory hormone (GnIH) is believed to be an inhibitor of gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) secretion. The role of GnIH in lactational inhibition of gonadotropin secretion is not well known therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of lactation on expression of GnIH in these nuclei of lactating and non-lactating rats. Methods: Ten po...

Female fertility is essential to any beef breeding program. However, little genetic gain has been made due long generation intervals and low levels of phenotyping. Days calving (DC) a trait that may provide lead an increased weaning rate. Genetic parameters correlations were estimated compared for DC across multiple joinings (first, second third+) lactation status (lactating non-lactating) trop...

in this investigation 13699 data related to milk production from 2716 holstein first calving and daughter from 167 sire cows were analyzed based on random regression model (rr/cf) and reml method incomplete lactating (5-90 days) and (5-120 days) in correlations to complete lactating were 0.67 and 0.72, respectively with progress in complete 5-240 day was 0.91 the correlation value for lactating...
