A study was carried out to find out the retrospective incidence of uterine torsion in buffaloes among obstetrical cases in Amul milk shed area and factors influencing it. Data on 1,13,772 obstetrical cases attended from January 2017 to June 2018 by Amul Veterinarians were collected. Moreover, 50 buffaloes suffering from uterine torsion were taken up during July-December, 2018 to know the side, site, degree of uterine torsion, parity as well as sex and viability of the calf and the dam after detorsion/Caesarean section in the same area. In the retrospective study, a total of 2000 cases of uterine torsion were recorded among total 1,13,772 bovine obstetrical cases, which encompassed 1.76%. Of the 2000 cases, 92.20 (1844) percent torsions were found in buffaloes only. Among 57,111 obstetrical cases attended in buffaloes, the incidence of uterine torsion was 3.23%. Moreover, the region/center-wise incidence of torsion cases varied from 1.30–19.36%. The highest incidence of uterine torsion was found in Anand region (19.36 %) followed by Kathlal (11.23 %) and Mahemdabad (10.14 %) regions, while the lowest incidence was in Virpur (2.06%), Petlad (1.46%) and Piplata (1.30%). It was concluded that buffaloes mostly experience right side (100%), post-cervical (82%) uterine torsion of 270–360° (66%), at full term of gestation (70%)with lower survivability of the calves (30%), however, the survival rate of the dams post-treatment was 90%.

Total 41 bovine field cases (buffalo 27 and cow 14) of uterine torsion were studied for the outcome of treatment and survival rate of dam by Sharma’s modified method. Caesarean section was done in animals with incomplete cervical dilatation and neglected cases. For this study animals were divided into 3 groups depending upon the onset of labour pains. In Group I (upto 36 hrs) comprised fresh cases and detorsion with Sharma’s modified method. In Group II (upto 36-72 hrs) comprised those cases not relived by rolling of cervix failed to dilate cesarean section were performed. In Group III (beyond 72 hrs) comprised of all neglected cases of uterine torsion where caesarean was performed. The overall dam survival rates in the three respective groups were 87.50 per cent, 55.55 per cent, and 62.5 per cent, respectively. In the present study, the incidences of maternal and foetal mortality were 21.95 per cent and 43.90 per cent, respectively. Higher incidence of uterine torsion was recorded in pluriparous (73.17 per cent) bovine and occurrence of right sided uterine torsion in (92.68 per cent) of cases. The majority of the calves delivered were male (73.17 per cent). In conclusion, quick approach and early execution of right type of treatment for torsion helped in better survival rate to dam and foetus. The Sharma’s modified method is best method in fresh and unspoiled cases of uterine torsion.

The present study was conducted on 55 pregnant torsion affected Surti buffaloes presented to VCC of the College, Navania (Udaipur). Three types of therapeutic approaches were used, viz., ‘simple rolling of the dam’ (n=14), Sharma’s modified Schaffer’s technique (n=41) and Caesarean Section (n=20/41) with the success rate of 100 %, 51.22 % and 36.36 %, respectively. On an average 1-4 rolling were tried and then CS was performed. The survival rate of dam following vaginal delivery and CS was 94.28 (33/35) and 80.00 (16/20) %, respectively. The overall rate of survival for dam and fetus was 89.09 (49/55) and 9.09 (5/55), respectively. The success rate was better for cases with less degree of torsion (up to 180°). The birth ratio among the affected cases for male and female was 58:42, suggesting male fetus as one of the predisposing causes of torsion in buffalo.

Purpose: To establish the incidence of chipping of zirconia-based restorations, either implant or tooth supported in a retrospective study. Material and methods: Sixty patients received 222 cemented units of zirconia-based restorations. One hundred thirteen units were cemented on teeth, 97 on implants and 12 units were pontics. After the delivery of the restorations, during the recalls, the patients were examined in regard to the presence of chipping of the veneering ceramic. Location of the restoration, the type of support and the design of the restoration were assessed as possible factors influencing chipping rate. Results: During an observation period of up to 5,5 years, 27 (12,16%) zirconia-based units showed chipping of the veneering ceramic. A total of 14 units had to be remade, resulting in a survival rate of 93,69% of the zirconia-based restorations. The chipping rate seemed to be higher in restorations on implants than those supported by teeth. In the molar region chipping occured twice as often as in the premolar and front regions (15,83% vs 7,84%). An increased chipping rate was observed in multi-unit restorations (13,95%) as compared to single-unit restorations (9,67%). Conclusion: Chipping of the porcelain veneering is the most frequent complication of zirconia-based restorations. They should be recommended with care in the molar region, especially as multi-unit restorations.

The incidence of breech presentation is approximately 3,97%. Breech presentation is considered as being “borderline eutocic” and it requires carefully monitoring both the foetus and the mother. The aim of the current paper is to evaluate the preffered method of delivery in case of breech presentation. The paper presents a retrospective study performed in the Obstetrics and Gynaecology Departments of the County Emergency Clinical Hospital “Sf. Apostol Andrei” in Constanta, during a period of 5 years (2010-2014). The methods of birth were analyzed for a lot of 1104 patients with breech presentation with ages ranging between 16 and 44 years old. The total number of patients who gave birth through vaginal delivery was of 139 patients, amounting to 12.59% of the total population sample. The number of patients that gave birth through C-section was 965, which amounts to 87.4% of the total population sample. Birth through C-section is preferred by both obstetricians and patients alike, due to the fact that vaginal delivery is associated with a higher foetal risk in breech presentation.
