Assessing the treatment outcome of various reproductive diseases of animals by follow-up monitoring in VTH, BAU

Background: Reproductive disorders have been found to be a major reason for decreased reproductive efficiency in animals. The present study was conducted to determine the effectiveness of different treatment for various reproductive diseases of domestic animals in Veterinary Teaching Hospital (VTH), Bangladesh Agricultural University (BAU), Mymensingh. Methods: A total of 100 animals were registered for treatment during the study period. Among those 59 cattle, 9 goats and 1 turkey were treated for reproduction related diseases. On the other hand, 28 cows and 3 goats were bought for regular pregnancy diagnosis. Standard procedures were followed for the diagnosis and treatment of the diseases. Results: Among the reproductive diseases of cattle, conception failure was 37.29% (n=22), uterine infection was 33.89% (n=20), anestrous was 13.56% (n=8), repeat breeding was 5.08% (n=3), vaginal prolapse was 3.39% (n=2), pastular vulvo-vaginitis was 1.69% (n=1) and ovarian hypoplasia was 1.69% (n=1). Only 2 bulls 3.39% (n=2) were diagnosed with posthitis. In goats, retention of placenta was 66.67% (n=6), abortion was 22.22% (n=2) and anestrous was 11.11% (n=1). There was one turkey with cloacal prolapse. All the animals having reproductive disease were treated in VTH. There was 93.22% improvement/effectiveness found in cows. The turkey and goats show 100% effectiveness of treatment. Conclusion: We can conclude that the most common reproductive diseases of cattle and goats in Bangladesh are uterine infection, anestrous, conception failure, pastular vulvo-vaginitis, vaginal prolapse, repeat breeding syndrome, abortion, retention of placenta and posthitis. Any disease or disorder of the genital tract may affect the reproduction as well as the production and fertility. Therefore, it is important to be concerned about the treatment and management of the diseases of the genital tract. Careful management and treatment of these diseases will ultimately help to increase the animal’s productivity in Bangladesh. The treatment given in VTH, BAU are successful for recovery.

Abstract Introduction Malignant mesonephric tumors are uncommon in the female genital tract, and they are usually located where embryonic remnants of Wolffian ducts are detected, such as the uterine cervix. The information about these tumors, their treatment protocol, and prognosis are scarce. Case report A 60-year-old woman with postmenopausal vaginal bleeding was initially diagnosed with endometrial carcinoma. After suspicion co-testing, the patient underwent a loop electrosurgical excision of the cervix and was eventually diagnosed with mesonephric adenocarcinoma. She was subjected to a radical hysterectomy, which revealed International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) IB1 stage, and adjuvant radiotherapy. The follow-up showed no evidence of recurrence after 60 months. Conclusion We present the case of a woman with cervical mesonephric adenocarcinoma. When compared with the literature, this case had the longest clinical follow-up without evidence of recurrence, which reinforces the concept that these tumors are associated with a favorable prognosis if managed according to the guidelines defined for the treatment of patients with cervical adenocarcinomas. Though a rare entity, it should be kept in mind as a differential diagnosis for other cervical cancers.

AbstractTransverse vaginal septum is a rare female genital tract anomaly, and little is described about its surgical treatment. We report the case of a patient who wished to preserve hymenal integrity due to social and cultural beliefs. We performed a vaginoscopic resection of the septum under laparoscopic view, followed by the introduction of a Foley catheter in the vagina, thus preserving the hymen. After 12 months of follow-up, no septal closure was present, and the menstrual flow was effective. Vaginoscopic hysteroscopy is an effective method of vaginal septum resection, even in cases in which hymenal integrity must be preserved due to social and cultural beliefs.

High Morbidity

Vulvar cancer represents 4% to 5% of Low Genital Tract Tumors (LGTT) and 1% of all cancers in women. Treatment depends on stage, and when possible surgery is preferable. Advanced cancers require large resections (with needs grafts and-or rotating flaps), radio and/or chemotherapy, all of which can lead to high morbidity and quality of life impairment. To minimize these effects, in 1994, we developed a cryosurgery prospective protocol to manage vulvar cancer in patients with comorbid conditions.Patients and Methods: Between 1994 and 2019 we treated n=41 patients: FIGO stages I: n=2 (4.88%) II: n=9 (21.95%), III: n=28 (68.29%), IV: n=2 (4.88%). Median age 64.3 (28 to 90 years old), and 70% were 70 years old or older, 59% had severe comorbidities (diabetes, autoimmune diseases, immunosuppressive user).Cryosurgery Protocol:Firstly, tumor resection, hemostasis, and 2 rapid freezing- slow thawing cycles with Liquid Nitrogen (LN) spray. The cycles should include the logde and a 1.5 cm safety margin. After complete healing (between 45 and 95 days after cryosurgery), nodes are treated according to FIGO stages. Result:All patients after the effects of the anesthesia were able to urinate spontaneously, walk, had minimal analgesic requirements, with good postoperative. The patients remained in the hospital for one or two days, and with rare exceptions, were discharged the following day with controls twice a week at the hospital. None of the patients required flaps or grafts to repair the treated areas. After complete healing they maintained the vulvar sensitivity and considerably improved their quality of life. Some of them, who had a partner, were able to resume their sexual intercourse.Mean follow-up: 55.39 (3 months to 258 months). Five patients had local recurrences between 12 and 72 months after treatment, and were controlled with a new cryosurgery. Six patients had HPV related lesions located in other areas of the lower genital tract, which were also controlled with cryosurgery. Twenty five of them died 19 due to an unrelated cause of death, and 6 due to disease progression in the nodes without vulvar recurrence, 9 patients survived and were free of disease with a mean follow-up of 53 months. Seven patients, after a disease free follow up of 17.2 months, weren ́t able to be controlled, as they lived more than 400 km way from the hospital. Local control was achieved in all patients.Comments: Cryosurgery can be done after any previous treatment, and can be repeated to control recurrences.Conclusion: Given the simplicity of the technique, its low cost, the possibility of being used in patients with multiple co-morbidities, the absence of major complications, and the anatomical and functional results obtained, we believe that cryosurgery can be considered among the best options to control of vulvar cancer, even large or advanced cases, in elderly patients and-or with severe comorbidities.

One of the causes of low reproductive efficiency in dairy cattle is the presence of reproductive disorders caused by a non-specific bacterial infection. The aim of the present study was to isolate and identify the genus of non-specific bacteria in the reproductive tract of dairy cattle during artificial insemination. A total of 10 samples in the form of mucus attached to the plastic sheath used after artificial insemination in dairy cattle were collected in the study. The samples were subjected to bacterial isolation and identification. The obtained results of the study indicated that Staphylococcus was the dominant genus found (90%). On the other hand, other genera were Escherichia (60%) and Corynebacterium (20%).

Intrauterine Contraceptive Devices

Background and Aim: Postpartum intrauterine device (PPIUD) is a reversible, long-term and effective technique of contraception. The intrauterine device (IUD) is inserted within 48 hours of delivery. The immediate insertion of an intrauterine device causes certain complications. The present study aimed to assess the prevalence of complications after Interval Postpartum Intrauterine Device Insertion. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 147 women who underwent postpartum IUD (PPIUD) insertions during from January 2021 to June 2021 at Gynecology department, Mufti Mehmood Memorial Teaching Hospital (MMMTH), Dera Ismail Khan and Muhammad Teaching Hospital Peshawar. All the women who delivered and showed willingness for PPIUCD insertion were enrolled and continuously follow-up for 4 to 6 weeks after delivery. Demographic, obstetric, and clinical parameters were recorded on pre-designed medical proforma. PPIUCD insertion after 6 weeks of delivery were followed-up for the evaluation of complications. Uterine infection, medical removal of IUD, IUD expulsion, perforation, and method discontinuation were the outcome variables. SPSS version 20 was used for data analysis. Results: Of the total deliveries, 147 women inserted the postpartum intrauterine contraceptive device (PPIUCD). Of the total, about 122 (83%) women returned for follow-up after 6 weeks. All the women underwent transvaginal insertion of intrauterine contraceptive devices. The PPIUCD insertion related complications with prevalence were uterine infection 26 (21.3%), overall method suspension 17 (13.9%), perforation 20 (16.4%), interceptive uterine device expulsions 25 (20.5%), and intrauterine device removal 32 (26.2%). The severe uterine infection was in 2 (1.7%) cases who were hospitalized. Conclusion: The postpartum intrauterine device cumulative expulsion rate was higher among women compared to the expulsion rate of insertions. The longer duration of bloody lochia flow and delivery intrauterine device insertions were the key risk factors for expulsion of PPIUCD. Women can safely utilize intrauterine contraceptive devices with low complications beyond four week. Keywords: Postpartum intrauterine device; Complications; Intrauterine device expulsion

Introduction: We sought to investigate the characteristics and outcomes of patients who underwent RF ablation of PM ventricular arrhythmias (VA) in our center. Results: 26 patients were included, median age was 66 years (16 to 85), 46% female, all with normal LVEF. PM VAs were PVCs in 68% patients, and PVC + VT in 32%. Site of origin was the LV infero-septal PM in 73%, LV antero-lateral PM in 15% and right ventricular RV septal PM in 12%. 46% of patients showed other VAs in addition to the one originating from the PMs; in 33% of these patients, additional VAs were 2 or more. These VAs were mostly PVCs (92%), localized in the LVOT (64% - 56 % in the basal LV and 44% in the aortic cusps) and the septal RVOT (36%). The only additional VT was fascicular. All the PMs and mappable additional VAs were ablated with RF energy through an irrigated catheter and the aid of ICE; a remote magnetic navigation system (RMS) was used in half of the procedures. In one case, PVC suppression required additional epicardial ablation. Major complications occurred in 2 patients (8%): 1 pericardial effusion (the patient underwent ablation of a crista terminalis premature atrial complex in the same procedure) and 1 pseudoaneurysm. Acute success (PM VA suppression/non-inducibility) was achieved in 96% of patients (the patient with pericardial effusion could be anticoagulated further and the procedure was stopped). After a median follow-up period of 8 (4-14) months, long-term success (no PM VT recurrence or PVC burden reduced by 80% off antiarrhythmic drugs) was 92% after a single procedure, 96% after repeat procedures. When considering additional VAs, the only recurrence was a parahisian RVOT PVC. No difference in acute or overall long-term success was observed when comparing RMS-guided vs standard procedures (respectively 92% vs 100 % and 100% vs 92%; P = NS). Conclusion: PM VAs are most commonly PVCs originating from the LV infero-septal PM and are frequently (48%) associated with an additional ventricular focus (LVOT > RVOT >> fascicular VT). RF ablation is safe and effective in eliminating or significantly reduce the burden of PM VAs, as well the extra-PM foci that are commonly encountered in this population. RMS guided ablation is not inferior to standard ablation in this subset of patients.

Intrauterine Infections

Porcine circovirus 3 (PCV-3) has been suggested as a putative causal agent of swine reproductive disease. A number of different studies have pointed out this association, but there is still a lack of information regarding the normal rates of PCV-3 infection in farms with normal reproductive parameters. The objective of the present study was to assess the frequency of PCV-3 detection in primiparous and multiparous sows and in tissues from their respective fetuses from farms with average reproductive parameters. Sera from 57 primiparous and 64 multiparous sows from 3 different farms were collected at two time points. Brain and lung tissues from 49 mummies and 206 stillborn were collected at farrowing. Samples were tested by PCR, and when positive, quantified by quantitative PCR. Thirty-nine complete genomes were obtained and phylogenetically analyzed. All sera from multiparous sows were negative, while 19/57 (33.3%) primiparous sows were PCV-3 PCR positive. From the 255 tested fetuses, 86 (33.7%) had at least one tissue positive to PCV-3. The frequency of detection in fetuses from primiparous sows (73/91, 80.2%) was significantly higher than those from multiparous ones (13/164, 7.9%). It can be concluded that PCV-3 is able to cause intrauterine infections in absence of overt reproductive disorders.
