Histopathologic characteristics of term placentas in singleton pregnancies in women with endometriosis-related infertility after ART treatment: case-control study.

Objectives: Endometriosis is one of the leading causes of infertility, due to negative impact on ovarian folliculogenesis and endometrial receptivity. Literature show that endometriosis could be associated with perinatal complications such as preterm birth (PTB) and preeclampsia (PE). Authors hypothesized that women with endometriosis-related infertility conceived by assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatment have higher frequency of placental disorders.

Evaluation of the hoof's temperature variations depending on lesion presence, measurement points and leg position.

In order to determine the possibility of using infrared thermography (IRT) in preventing lameness in dairy cows, the aim of this study was to evaluate temperature variations depending on the lesion presence, measurement points and leg position. The study used about 3 000 IRT records from 60 Holstein cows housed in a free-stall barn. Surface temperature measurements were taken at two regions of the hooves: the region of the coronary band, and the region of the skin up to 2 cm above the coronary band.

Changes in the Fatty Acid Composition of Milk of Lipizzaner Mares during the Lactation Period.

The composition and properties of the milk fat of mares' milk is interesting from a nutritional standpoint. The aim of this study was to determine the nutritional value of Lipizzaner mare's milk for possible human consumption and identity the influence of the parity and stage of lactation on its fatty acid (FA) composition. This study was conducted on 17 Lipizzaner mares from a state stud farm in the Slavonian region (eastern Croatia).
