Sonoelastography is a rapid and non-invasive ultrasound-based technique to assess tissue elasticity. Interest in this technique's application veterinary medicine progressively increasing, with preliminary reports also available canine testicular parenchyma abnormalities. Since elastographic techniques are different it of paramount importance standardize procedures, work aimed compare two techniques, SE 2D SWE, on the same testes data current literature. Thirty healthy were included, complete...
This report aims to present a case of obstructive azoospermia in stud stallion diagnosed with an alkaline phosphatase (SPAP) assessment. A 20-year-old Murgese is referred for acquired azoospermia. History negative reproductive disorders, and clinical examinations ultrasonography internal external genitalia do not reveal significant alterations. Semen collection highlights the absence spermatozoa ejaculate urinalysis spermatozoa. SPAP assay performed on seminal plasma, value 30 IU/L,...
The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major human pathogen. Genetically related viruses in animals suggest zoonotic origin of HCV. closest relative HCV found horses (termed equine hepacivirus [EqHV]). However, low EqHV genetic diversity implies relatively recent acquisition by horses, making derivation from unlikely. To unravel the evolutionary history within equid sister species, we analyzed 829 donkeys and 53 mules sampled nine European, Asian, African, American countries molecular serologic...
Semen evaluation is used to estimate the testicular function. In bulls, spermatozoa present in ejaculate are result of a process that begun more than 2 mo earlier, bequeathing delayed depiction actual function testis. Since testis vascularization might be critical for gonad function, selected pulse wave Doppler ultrasound parameters were assessed this study, instance peak systolic velocity, end diastolic velocity and resistive index artery along spermatic cord, marginal portion...
Mammary gland tumors are the most common canine neoplasms. They account for 25–50% of all diagnosed in bitches. Metastases and recurrences develop about 35–70% bitches following excision. The presence regional lymph node metastases is a relevant factor affecting prognosis treatment cases mammary tumors. sentinel (SLN) first (or nodes) lymphatic basin that receives flow from primary neoplasm. aim this study to investigate SLN with indirect lymphography tumor dogs. knowledge precise drainage...
In this study, the effect of chamber used for automated analysis sperm motility by a computer-assisted semen system on kinematics was evaluated, and cause also verified. Twenty-three bull batches were thawed, diluted, aliquoted analysed with six different chambers, (three capillary-loaded chambers three droplet (DR)-loaded chambers). For each type, sample in quadruplicate, reliability tested using an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Furthermore, membrane integrity (MI) chamber, 12...
Density gradient centrifugation was reported as a technique of semen preparation in assisted reproductive techniques humans and animals. This found to be efficient improving quality after harmful such cryopreservation. Recently modified technique, single layer centrifugation, proposed providing large amount high spermatozoa, this treatment performed before conservation. Single has been studied prevalently stallions boars, but limited data were available for bulls. Occasionally bulls are...
Juvenile in vitro embryo technology (JIVET) provides exciting opportunities animal reproduction by reducing the generation intervals. Prepubertal oocytes are also relevant models for studies on oncofertility. However, current JIVET efficiency is still unpredictable, and further improvements needed order it to be used a large-scale level. This study applied bioengineering approaches recreate: (1) three-dimensional (3D) structure of cumulus–oocyte complex (COC), constructing—via bioprinting...
