A proliferative dermatitis similar to the condition generally referred to as strawberry footrot was observed in two Alpine chamois (Rupicapra rupicapra) from Eastern Alps, Italy. Branching septated filaments and packets of PAS-positive coccoid organisms were observed in histological sections of the affected skin. The actinomycete, Dermatophilus congolensis, was isolated from crusted lesions in ...

We present the case of a 35-year-old man with a hemangioma in the iliac wing that simulated an aggressive bone lesion on CT, MRI, and bone scintigraphy. On CT, the lesion, 12 cm in in maximum dimension, was expansile and septated. On MRI, the lesion was isointense with respect to muscle on T1 weighted images, and hyperintense on T2 images, with focal regions of cortical breach. Radionuclide bon...

this study was carried out to compare the histomorphological structures of oviductal regionsof the apparently healthy adult laying hens (gallus gallus dometicus) and ducks (ansa ansadomesticus). for this purpose, 20 hens and 20 female ducks aged between 1–1.5 years were used.after euthanasia, the oviducts were dissected out and all of the gross morphometrical parametersincluding length, width a...

Objective : Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common hormonal disorders that can lead to irregular menstrual cycles and hyperandrogenism. Reduced levels of progesterone and increased estrogen in these women can perpetually stimulate the endometrial tissue of the uterus. In this study, the effect of PCOS induction was studied using estradiol valerate. MaterialsAndMethods Adult ...

Clove (Syzygium aromaticum) and turmeric (Curcuma longa) extracts were tested against crucifer pathogens using soaking method. Both extracts showed inhibitory effects on the pathogens. The results of antifungal activities revealed that clove extract was indicated the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of Alternaria brassicicola and Fusarium oxyporum at 1900 ppm and 2300 ppm respectively. Wh...

The patient was a 39-year-old man who was referred to a physical therapist by his primary care physician for a chief complaint of left posterior knee pain. Radiographs of the left knee, which had been previously ordered by the patient's primary care physician, were interpreted as normal. Given the patient's worsening symptoms, no history of trauma or injury, and lack of improvement with prior c...

Lpar3 is upregulated in the preimplantation uterus, and deletion of Lpar3 leads to delayed uterine receptivity in mice. Microarray analysis revealed that there was higher expression of Col3a1 and Col6a3 in the Preimplantation Day 3.5 Lpar3(-/-) uterus compared to Day 3.5 wild-type (WT) uterus. Since extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling is indispensable during embryo implantation, and dynamic s...

Recently, increasing evidence has shown that uterus preservation is beneficial for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) patients, both physiologically and psychologically. However, the preoperative indicators for uterus preservation have rarely been examined. The current study was designed to determine the relationship between the preoperative evaluated uterus weight and the operation selection (preserv...

malignant tumors of pancreas are usually primary neoplasms and pancreatic metastases are rare findings. we are reporting a case of squamous cell carcinoma (scc) of the esophagus with pancreatic metastasis. a 59-year old woman was admitted with chief complaint of abdominal pain and mass. she was a known case of esophageal scc since 4 years before when she had undergone transthoracic esophagectom...

background and objective: uterus of rat with polycystic ovary (pco) may show pathological features. we provided pathological evidence for the rat uterus with no-induced pco.    materials and methods: wistar rats (weighing 200-250 g) were kept diestrous to receive l-arginine (50 mg/kg) intraperitoneally (i.p.) for 9 days/once a day. control group solely received saline (1 ml/kg, 9 days/once per ...
