The study has been conducted on the prenatal development of testis on 70 goat embryo/foeti, categorized into group-I (0-30 days), Group-II (31-60 days), Group-III (61-90 days), Group-IV (91-120 days) and group V (121days-till birth), having 14 embryos/ foeti in each group. The genital ridge was observed at 23 days of gestation. It contained an accumulation of mesenchymal cells, immature RBC’s, ...

H uman gestation lasts 40 weeks from the date of the last menstrual cycle. Neonates born 3 weeks before (37 weeks gestation) through 2 weeks after 40 weeks of gestation are considered as being born at term. This classification is based on the presumption that no differences in neonatal outcomes exist for those born during this 5-week period. Neonates born at or after 37 weeks of gestation, but ...

The objective was to determine effects of the type of gestation accommodation to which dams were exposed on growth performance and age at puberty in gilt offspring. Yorkshire x Landrace gilts (n = 81; 26.9 +/- 0.8 kg of BW) were placed in pens of 3 gilts each. Each pen contained gilts farrowed exclusively by gilts exposed to 1 of 3 gestation accommodations: 1) individual crates throughout gesta...

Foetal loss is a major public health problem with a pa1..1city ot know1t:dgt about early foetal loss both in ectopic pregnancies and spontaneous abortions.

Gioanni and Wirtz (1949) after analysis of 462 cases of ec;topic pregnancy reported only 15% of normal pregnancies, 7% of abortions a...

Developments in uterus transplant put assisted gestation within meaningful range of clinical success for women with uterine infertility who want to gestate children. Should this kind of transplantation prove routine and effective for those women, would there be any morally significant reason why men or transgender women should not be eligible for the same opportunity for gestation? Getting to t...

Three hundred twenty fetuses were obtained from 33 pregnant gilts (Camborough-22, Pig Improvement Co.) to determine rates of nutrient deposition in fetal tissues and to estimate nutrient requirements for fetal growth. Pregnant gilts were fed an equal amount of a gestation diet (2.0 kg/d; as-fed basis), and were slaughtered at d 0, 45, 60, 75, 90, 102, or 110 of gestation (n = 3 to 6 per day). F...

Ultrasound scan revealed fetal hypoxia. Her antenatal period uneventful normal scans. She delivered 3.3kg baby 39-weeks gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery. Baby non-immune pleural and peritoneal effusion ...
