To investigate uterine fluid and serum calcium (Ca) and Magnesium (Mg) variations during the estrus cycle in water buffaloes, 71 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from the abattoir in Urmia. The phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examining ovarian structures. 18 animals were pro-estrous, 15 estrous, 16 met-estrous and 22 diestrous. The uterine fluid was collected by gent...

To investigate uterine fluid and serum copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) variations during the estrous cycle in water buffaloes, 71 genital tracts and blood samples were collected from the abattoir in Urmia, Iran. The phase of the estrous cycle was determined by examining ovarian structures; 18, 15, 16 and 22 were pro-estrous, estrous, met-estrous and diestrous, respectively. The uterine fluid was coll...

in order to obtain maximum information from magnetic and gravity anomaly maps, application of an edgedetection method is necessary. in this regard two commonly used methods are derivative filters and local phase filters. in this paper, a matlab code is expanded to combine an analytic signal filter and a tilt angle filter as a new edge detection filter called asta filter. this method was demonst...

BACKGROUND Uterine blood flow is an important factor in uterine viability, but the number of blood vessels required to maintain viability is uncertain. In this study, indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence imaging was used to examine uterine hemodynamics and vessels associated with uterine blood flow in cynomolgus macaque. METHODS The uterus of a female cynomolgus macaque was cut from the vagin...

In this study, 115 samples taken from the stream sediments were analyzed for concentrations of As, Co, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, W, Zn, Au, Ba, Fe, Mn, Sr, Ti, U, V and Zr. In order to outline mineralization-derived stream sediments, various mapping techniques including fuzzy factor score, geochemical halos and fractal model were used. Based on these models, concentrations of Co, Cr, Ni, Zn, Ba, Fe, Mn, ...

background: several studies have assessed the correlation of fetal choroid plexus cyst (cpc) and the risk of congenital anomalies, but few ones have discussed isolated cpc (with no other abnormal sonographic finding). objective: the aim of this study was to determine the outcome of isolated fetal choroid plexus cyst and to specify its clinical significance. materials and methods: this cross sec...

Although premature separation of normally implanted placenta is considered the most serious complication of pregnancy, knowledge of uterine behaviour during this con­dition is meager, on the basis of electronic recording of intra-uterine pressure two type of contraction pattern has been identified.  In type I uterine tonus has values below 30mmHg  with a frequency of 4-9 contractions per 10 m...

the uterine rupture during pregnancy is a catastrophic condition resulting in both maternal and perinatal morbidity and mortality. it occurs in nearly 1% of patients with previous cesarean sections. however, uterine rupture at the site of previous iatrogenic perforation which is spontaneously healed or repaired is less reported. we present a 29-year-old woman, gravida 3 para 1, at 20 weeks of g...
