Objective: Various practical methods have been used for pregnancy diagnosis in sheep. Methods of pregnancy diagnosis depending on visualization of the conceptus or determination of its secretory products in the maternal blood or in the milk are the most accurate and specific methods for pregnancy. In 1980, B-mode ultrasonography was introduced in the veterinary field and used for pregnancy diag...

Four fat-tailed ewes from an indoor flock (n=40) were examined for recumbency and depressive nervoussigns. They were from a seemingly nonpregnant group of the flock that had been diagnosed bytransabdominal ultrasonography. The ration consisted of mainly wheat straw since their separation from thepregnant group. Detection of pregnancy on abdominal palpation along with depressive nervous signs an...

We report an extremely unusual case of an undiagnosed cervical ectopic pregnancy resulting in the birth of a live born baby with catastrophic maternal hemorrhage necessitating peripartum hysterectomy, highlighting the importance of early diagnosis and treatment of such cases.

background: the incidence of rudimentary heterotopic uterine horn pregnancy varies from 1:76,000 to 1:140,000. however the incidence of twin pregnancy i.e. intrauterine pregnancy in unicornuate uterus and its associated rudimentary horn pregnancy is estimated to be around 1 in 10 million gestations. case: here, we present 19 year old pramigravida women with acute haemoperitoneum with diagnosis ...

Choriionic gonadotrophin is produced by trophoblastic tissue. In pregnancy raised serum levels are associated with increased urinary excretion. The excretion of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) is significantly raised within one week of the first missed period, reaches a peak by the tenth week, and falls thereafter to the twentieth week (Fig. 1). In the second half of pregnancy levels fluctu...

background: although heterotopic gestation is common in assisted reproductive techniques, it is very rare in natural conception and clomiphene induced pregnancy. diagnosis and appropriate intervention of heterotopic pregnancy requires a high index of suspicious. case: in this paper a case of heterotopic pregnancy in a 30-year old woman with hemoperitoneum from ruptured tubal pregnancy with live...

Heterotopic pregnancy is a potentially fatal condition that rarely occurs in natural conception cycles. We report two cases diagnosed within one month in a 20 year old gravida 3, para 0+2 without any known risk factor and a 38 year old gravida 12, para 6+5 with risk factors. The ectopic pregnancies were diagnosed after rupturing at 10 and 17 weeks respectively and resected via laparotomies. The...

Background: Monochorionic twin gestations are at increased risk of a variety of pregnancy complications which can be minimized by early antepartum diagnosis and management. This study is to assess the influence of chorionicity in twin pregnancies on perinatal outcome. Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted at, Institute of maternal and child health Calicut over a period of one...

The purpose of this research was to evaluate three embryo biopsy techniques used for preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) in cattle and to recommend the least invasive one for current use, especially when PGD is followed by embryo cryopreservation. Three hundred bovine embryos were biopsied by either one of the needle, aspiration or microblade method, and then checked for viability by freezi...
