AI Article Synopsis
- Painful lesions in the vertebral column can lead to lower libido in bulls, affecting breeding performance.
- Traditional radiographic methods for evaluating spinal issues in mature bulls are ineffective due to their large size.
- After unsuccessful initial treatment, nuclear scintigraphy was used to identify specific lesions, allowing for targeted therapy that improved pain and boosted sperm production in the bulls.
Article Abstract
Painful lesions of the vertebral column may cause decreased libido in bulls. Radiographic evaluation of vertebral skeletal problems in mature bulls is limited because of high body mass. Two breeding bulls with signs of decreased libido and spermatozoa production were evaluated. Initial systemic medical treatment for the conditions had not focused on localized lesions and was unsuccessful. Nuclear scintigraphy was performed in both bulls to determine the location of vertebral column lesions and facilitate localized treatment. Localized medical treatment was successful and resulted in decreased signs of pain and increased spermatozoa production in both bulls.

Low libido is a common and potentially distressing problem among midlife and older women. We recently reported results from a pilot randomized controlled trial of a mindfulness intervention for midlife and older cisgender women with low libido; the purpose of this qualitative investigation is to illustrate women's experiences with being recruited for, enrolling in, and participating in the trial. We conducted individual interviews with a subset of trial participants, some of whom attended a group-based mindfulness intervention and some attended an educational control group (N = 25).
