Abstract During maternal recognition of pregnancy (MRP), a conceptus-derived signal leads to the persistence corpus luteum and maintenance gestation. In horse, nature this remains be elucidated. Several studies have focused on changes in gene expression during MRP, but little information exists at protein level. The aim study was identify proteins embryo-maternal interface around signalling MRP horse (day 13) by means mass spectrometry. A distinct influence established, with 119...
The success rate for vitrification of immature equine oocytes is low. Although vitrified-warmed are able to mature, further embryonic development appears be compromised.The aim this study was compare two protocols, and examine the effect number layers cumulus cells surrounding oocyte during oocytes.Experimental in vitro vivo trials.Immature were vitrified after a short exposure high concentrations cryoprotective agents (CPAs), or long lower CPAs. In Experiment 1, maturation surrounded by...
Background Accidental dural puncture ( ADP ) and post‐dural headache PDPH are important complications of obstetric regional anesthesia. Inserting the catheter intrathecally after to prevent has gained popularity. Nonetheless, data on effect an intrathecal epidural blood patch EBP rates mixed. Our primary objective was examine if spinal catheterization reduces incidence in patients. Methods Anesthetic records 29,749 blocks performed between J anuary 1997 uly 2013 were analyzed...
Intrathecal opioids used to relieve labor pain have been associated with uterine hyperactivity and nonreassuring fetal heart rate abnormalities. We retrospectively evaluated all charts of singleton, term, vertex-presenting parturients in active requesting neuraxial relief during a 1-year period for the occurrence tracings.Three different strategies were routinely our department: conventional epidural using 10 mL bupivacaine 0.125% sufentanil 0.75 microg/mL; combined spinal (CSE) intrathecal...
Abstract Aim: Surgical patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation is considered after failure or contraindication of medical treatment. Till now the PDA has been associated with low morbidity and mortality although recently concerns have raised about possible association ductal clipping neurodevelopmental abnormalities later in life. By means near‐infrared spectroscopy (NIRS), we analysed changes cerebral tissue oxygenation index (TOI) fractional oxygen extraction (FTOE) at time as well...
Patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) is used to maintain following initial intrathecal analgesia. This trial investigated whether a continuous background infusion with PCEA provides superior alone among patients who received combined spinal-epidural (CSE) during labour. Eighty parturients were randomized either or of ropivacaine 0.15% sufentanil 0.75 μg/ml at 2 ml/h (PCEA+CEI). settings bolus 4 ml the same analgesic solution lockout interval 15 minutes. Significantly more in group...
Anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) reflects the population of growing follicles and has been related to mammalian fertility. In horse, clinical application ovum pick-up intracytoplasmic sperm injection (OPU-ICSI) is increasing, but results depend largely on individuality mare. The aim this study was assess AMH as a predictor for OPU-ICSI outcome in horses. Therefore, 103 mares with total follicle count above 10 were included commercial session serum determined using ELISA. Overall, level...
The signal for maternal recognition of pregnancy (MRP) has still not been identified in the horse. High-throughput molecular biology at embryo-maternal interface substantially contributed to knowledge on pathways affected during MRP, but an integrated study which proteomics, transcriptomics and miRNA expression can be linked directly is currently lacking. aim this was provide such analysis. Endometrial biopsies, uterine fluid, embryonic tissues, yolk sac fluid were collected 13 days after...
SummaryBackground and objective: Epidural anaesthesia is the preferred technique of for Caesarean section in pre-eclampsia. Spinal considered by some as a safe effective alternative, which especially useful emergency situations. Combined spinal–epidural anaesthesia, using low doses local anaesthetics with opioids, reduces incidence hypotension normal pregnancy. We performed retrospective chart analysis to evaluate effects combined on maternal haemodynamics fetal outcome compared conventional...
Abstract Objective To document fetal stress hormone and Doppler changes after intrauterine transfusions (IUTs) in either the intrahepatic portion of umbilical vein (IHV) or placental cord insertion (PCI). Method Pregnant women scheduled for IUT anemia ( N = 25) were included prospectively. Cortisol, β‐endorphin noradrenalin concentrations plasma middle cerebral artery pulsatility index before transfusion compared. Transfusions performed through (IHV), thus puncturing fetus, at PCI. Results...
Demonstrates how the cause of ventricular contraction (VC), reflected by its electrophysiological precursors (ECG), and related effect on haemodynamic system [characterized systemic arterial pressure (SAP), sometimes called mean systolic (MSAP)] can be fused together for a rhythm (VR) tracking purpose. Data fusion heterogeneous signals, such as ECG SAP, appears to an interesting alternative overcome relative drawbacks signal processing univariate channels. Behind clinical aim providing more...
Perioperative management and complications during after surgery were reviewed in a population of premature infants who received cryotherapy because threshold retinopathy by retrospective analysis medical, anaesthetic, ophthalmologic files. Infants (n = 31) between January 1, 1996 2001 treated the neonatal period unit included study. Cryotherapy was performed under general anesthesia on ward. Neonatal preoperative characteristics this cohort point to vulnerable group with weight 1622 g (1519...
