Lameness in Cattle-Etiopathogenesis, Prevention and Treatment.

The aim of this review was to analyse the health problem of lameness in dairy cows by assessing the health and economic losses. This review also presents in detail the etiopathogenesis of lameness in dairy cattle and examples of its treatment and prevention. This work is based on a review of available publications.

Interleukin-6 as a Milk Marker of Clinical and Subclinical Intramammary Infections (IMI) in Cows Caused by spp.

The aim of the study was to evaluate the concentrations of Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in milk and serum of healthy cows (HE) and cows with mastitis caused by spp. The blood and milk samples were obtained from Holstein-Friesian cows (Lublin region, Poland). A total of 43 milk and serum samples from 28 cows with mastitis and 15 healthy cows were selected for study.

Bacteriophages for Controlling spp. Pathogens on Dairy Cattle Farms: In Vitro Assessment.

Pathogenic spp. strains are significant agents involved in mastitis and in skin and limb infections in dairy cattle. The aim of this study was to assess the antibacterial effectiveness of bacteriophages isolated from dairy cattle housing as potential tools for maintaining environmental homeostasis.

Changes to blood parameters after postparturient hemoglobinuria in 11 Holstein-Friesian cows.

This study reviewed a case series of 11 Holstein-Friesian (HF) cows with postpartum hemoglobinuria (PPH) from one dairy herd. The first clinical signs of PPH appeared in the animals during the second or third lactation, between 21 and 30 days after calving. The clinical signs, including depression, diminished appetite, a dark red to brown color in the urine, pale mucous membranes, and a decrease in milk yields were observed in these 11 animals.

Elastography of Endometrium in Women Taking Tamoxifen: A New Approach to an Old Diagnostic Problem.

Tamoxifen is a commonly used selective estrogen receptor modulator applied in the treatment for breast cancer. However, in the endometrium, Tamoxifen stimulates tissue growth, cellular transformation, the migration of the cells, and metastatic potential in endometrial cancer. Considering that uterine cancer is the most common neoplasm of the reproductive tract and the third most common neoplastic disease in women, the aim of this study was to investigate if applying elastography in examining the endometrium was beneficial for uterine cancer screening protocols in women on selective estrogen receptor modulator therapy.

Prophphylactic bilateral salpingngectomy: why is it worthwhile?

Malignant tumors of the ovary are characterized by late detection which is the chief factor responsible for their poor prognosis. Almost 70% of ovarian cancers are diagnosed at clinical stage III or IV. At present, effective methods for early detection of ovarian cancer are lacking.
