Reproductive failure in livestock can result from failure to fertilize the oocyte or embryonic loss during gestation. Although fertilization failure occurs, embryonic mortality represents a greater contribution to reproductive failure. Reproductive success varies among species and production goals but is measured as a binomial trait (i.e., pregnancy), derived by the success or failure of multip...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS The objective was to determine clinical features and clinical outcomes for pediatric thyroid carcinoma. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional analysis of national cancer database. METHODS The Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (1988-2000) was surveyed, extracting all cases of pediatric thyroid carcinoma. Clinical features including age, gender, tumor type, tum...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the defense cells changes of cervical mucous during follicular and luteal phases of estrus cycle in river buffalo. reproductive organs of the adult and apparently healthy female buffaloes were collected from the slaughterhouse. by visual investigation of both the ovaries for presence of corpus luteum and growing follicles, the luteal and follicular phase of...

Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor (AOT) is an uncommon, slow-growing, noninvasive mostly in the anterior maxilla with three well-recognized clinico-pathological variants: follicular, extra-follicular, and peripheral. Extra-follicular variant presents as a well-defined, unilocular, radiolucency between, above, or superimposed on roots of erupted tooth. A 19 years female reported chief complaint loos...

This found that Caucasian squirrel located neck area, below larynx, on both sides trachea. It has two lobes (right left) with cylindrical shape. studies revealed surrounded by a capsule which consists connective tissue forming layers are outer la...

The present short communication puts on record a case of ovarian teratoma in a water buffalo along with detailed description of its ovarian biometry, follicular fluid composition and functional assessment. The 2.0×2.3×2.9 cm teratoma was found in the right ovary of 2.4×2.6×4.2 cm size. The teratoma was firmly encapsulated with cartilaginous tissue and its cross section revealed tufts of hair ma...

The developmental biology of sheep ileal and jejunal Peyer's patches (PP) was investigated using corticosteroids to deplete immature B lymphocytes. During a 7-day treatment with dexamethasone, ileal PP follicular (iPf)B-cell proliferation was arrested and most iPfB-cells died. This resulted in follicular involution with the survival of mesenchymal cells. No iPfB-cell proliferation was detected ...

In order to investigate potential changes in insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) during human follicle maturation, we examined the IGFBP profiles in follicular fluid from follicles in different stages of maturation. Samples were obtained from ovaries of women with regular menstrual cycles and of subjects with cycle abnormalities and polycystic ovaries (diagnosed as polycystic o...
