Metrisor: A novel diagnostic method for metritis detection in cattle based on machine learning and sensors.

The Metrisor device has been developed using gas sensors for rapid, highly accurate and effective diagnosis of metritis. 513 cattle uteri were collected from abattoirs and swabs were taken for microbiological testing. The Metrisor device was used to measure intrauterine gases.

Dose related inhibitor effect of enrofloxacin on in vitro feline spontaneous myometrial contractility.

Enrofloxacin is one of the most widely used antibacterial drugs in feline medicine. This study investigated the effects of enrofloxacin on in vitro feline spontaneous myometrial contractility at different sexual stages. Uterine samples of the 20 queen cats at different sexual periods were placed in a tissue bath, and in vitro spontaneous stretch-induced myometrial contractions were recorded for 10 min.

The relationship of asprosin with β-hydroxybutyric acid and postpartum disorders in cows.

The aim of the present study was to determine asprosin levels in cows, the relationship of this hormone with postpartum disorders and β-hydroxybutyric acid, and also the potential of asprosin to be a marker for postpartum diseases. The study was designed as a two-stage trial. In the first stage, blood asprosin and β-hydroxybutyric acid levels of 20 healthy Simmental cows aged 3-4 years were measured at the time of calving, and on days 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15 postpartum.

Zingerone ameliorates cisplatin-induced ovarian and uterine toxicity via suppression of sex hormone imbalances, oxidative stress, inflammation and apoptosis in female wistar rats.

Cisplatin (CP) is a widely used chemotherapeutic drug, effective against a variety of solid tumours, though its utility is limited due to its multiple organ toxicity. Zingerone (ZO), one of the most important components of dry ginger root, has several pharmacological activities, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-apoptotic properties. This study aimed to investigate the ameliorative effect of ZO on CP-induced ovarian and uterine toxicity in female rats.
