Benign mixed Müllerian (duct) vaginal tumor in a 12-y-old goat.

In human and veterinary medicine, mixed Müllerian tumors (MMTs) are rarely diagnosed neoplasms of the tubular female genital tract. Although there are case reports of malignant MMTs in various species, benign MMTs have only been described once in a macaque. Here we present a case of benign MMT in a 12-y-old goat, and review the literature on uterine, cervical, and vaginal neoplasia in goats.

Helcococcus ovis associated with septic arthritis and bursitis in calves - a case report.

Background: Septic arthritis often occurs in young calves when the passive transfer of maternal immunoglobulins has failed, which results in hypogammaglobulinaemia in the calf. Another important cause is suboptimal herd health management which often leads to general health impairment and, subsequently, to septic arthritis.

Case Presentation: A dairy farmer consulted the Herd Health Service of the University Clinic reporting general herd health impairment, a high incidence of respiratory diseases, unsatisfactory weight gain and arthritis in calves, as well as mastitis and high milk cell counts.

Behavioral evolution accompanying host shifts in cactophilic larvae.

For plant utilizing insects, the shift to a novel host is generally accompanied by a complex set of phenotypic adaptations. Many such adaptations arise in response to differences in plant chemistry, competitive environment, or abiotic conditions. One less well-understood factor in the evolution of phytophagous insects is the selective environment provided by plant shape and volume.

Repeated chemoembolization followed by laser-induced thermotherapy for liver metastasis of breast cancer.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate local tumor control and survival after use of a downstaging protocol of repeated transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) with two chemotherapeutic combinations followed by laser-induced thermotherapy in the care of patients with liver metastasis of breast cancer.

Subjects And Methods: This prospective study included 161 patients with liver metastasis of breast cancer origin. TACE (mean, 3.

Leiomyoma volume changes at follow-up after uterine artery embolization: correlation with the initial leiomyoma volume and location.

Purpose: To study the changes in uterine leiomyoma volume after uterine artery embolization (UAE) and to correlate these changes with the initial tumor volume and location within the uterus.

Materials And Methods: The study was performed retrospectively on 28 consecutive patients (age, 37-57 years; mean, 48 y +/- 4.81) with 84 uterine leiomyomas.
