The Colonisation of Calves in Czech Large-Scale Dairy Farms by Clonally-Related of the Sequence Type 11 Represented by Ribotypes 033 and 126.

To investigate a possible reservoir in the Czech Republic, we performed a study in 297 calves from 29 large-scale dairy farms. After enrichment, faecal samples were inoculated onto selective agar for . From the 297 samples, 44 isolates were cultured (prevalence of 14.

Soluble leptin receptor and leptin levels in pregnant women before and after delivery.

Soluble leptin receptor is an extracellular domain of the leptin receptor that serves as the main leptin-binding protein and may play a role in the regulation of leptin tissue effects. The aim of our study was to assess serum concentrations of leptin, soluble leptin receptor, and other hormones involved in the regulation of leptin secretion in pregnant women before and after delivery. Serum leptin, cortisol, and tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) concentrations in 19 pregnant women before delivery were significantly higher than in healthy nonpregnant women (33.

Fetal anemia, thrombocytopenia, dilated umbilical vein, and cardiomegaly due to a voluminous placental chorioangioma. A case report.

We report a case of voluminous placental chorioangioma diagnosed by ultrasound and color Doppler imaging during the 20th week of pregnancy. The size of the tumor was enlarging progressively (up to 10 cm in the 32nd week), and during this time the signs of fetal intrauterine volume overload and blood cell consumption, such as cardiomegaly, umbilical vein dilation, hydramnios, anemia, and thrombocytopenia, were observed. In the 32nd week of pregnancy, the signs of uteroplacental insufficiency and fetal hypoxia appeared; therefore, the pregnancy was terminated by cesarean section, and a female infant weighing 1,870 g was delivered.

[Serum levels of leptin and soluble leptin receptors in women after bilateral ovariectomy].

Objective: To determine whether the blood concentrations of leptin and soluble leptin receptor (LEPR) hang in women after bilateral ovariectomy, and whether there is a relationship between the concentrations of leptin, LEPR and LH, FSH and 17 beta-estradiol before and after castration.

Design: Prospective clinical study.

Setting: Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, First Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and the General Faculty Hospital, Prague.
