The study was aimed to estimate the gestational age of Shami does by transabdominal ultrasonographic measurement of maternal parameters. Thirty-three Shami does aged 2-2.5 years with confirmed conception dates were used. The does were examined in a standing position using a transabdominal 3.5 MHz convex sector probe of real-time ultrasonography. The does were examined weekly starting from 21 days of pregnancy until parturition. Measurements of the maternal parameters that include; the uterine diameter, placental width, and placental height were obtained from the ultrasonographic images using the software Screen Calipers. Results showed that the gestational sac and embryos were observed early on 21 and 35 days of pregnancy. The litter size of Shami does was 2-3 kids. Uterine diameter ranged between 27±1.4 and 136.9±4.2 mm between 21-130 days, placentomes width was 17.6±0.6 – 38.5±2.1 mm, placentomes height was 9.5 ± 1.8 – 24.5 ± 1.4 mm on 51-150 days of gestation. The highest positive correlations were obtained between the gestational age and the measurements of uterine diameter (r=0.943). The least positive correlations were between the gestational age and the values of placenta width (r=0.715) and placentom height (r=0.615). In conclusion, transabdominal ultrasonography is a practical method for pregnancy diagnosis and monitoring of embryo in Shami goats. Also, it is reliable to estimate gestation age from 21 days of pregnancy. The uterine diameter was the best maternal parameter that can be used for the longest period for estimation of Shami goats gestational age.

Accurate determination of intravesical residual urine volume as well as bladder capacity is of significant importance in children. The ability to confirm these measurements non invasively in children avoids discomfort, urethral trauma and the introduction of urinary tract infection. Also, by avoiding the need for catheterization this technique permits more physiological assessment and allows for repeated examinations without fear and anxiety on the part of the patients. In this prospective study we assess the accuracy of the real time, hand held, ultrasonic device using suprapubic views and biplanar technique to determine intravesical volumes. Real time ultrasonography with suprapubic views and the described bi-planar technique to determine intravesical urine volume is simple, accurate and reproducible. It also is rapid and noninvasive, and can detect accurately an empty bladder in children. A strong correlation was found between the estimated bladder volume with our method and voided urine volume (0 ml, residual volume) .This study concluded that the modality used in this study has the potential to provide useful and reproducible information in the clinical evaluation of bladder function in children.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/jdnmch.v17i2.12199 J.

Embryonic Death

The aim of the present study was to evaluate the incidence of embryonic mortality in synchronized Konya Merino ewes (2–4 years of age) during the the breeding season. The flushing procedure started in 126 ewes, beginning 1 week before the breeding period until mating. The ewes were synchronized using progesterone : PMSG; a sponge containing 40 mg florogestone acetate was placed into vagina for 12 days. PMSG (500 IU) was given intramuscularly at the time of sponge removal and ewes were allowed to mate 48-60 hours (Day 0) after PMSG injection. The first pregnancy diagnosis was done transrectally 18 days after mating by using B-mode, linear array, 5 MHz real-time ultrasonography, and it was repeated again on Days 22, 26, 30, and 34. One hundred eleven ewes were pregnant on Day 18, and 191 embryos were detected in 111 pregnant ewes. There were 44 single, 54 twin, and 13 triple pregnancies. Embryonic death was determined in 39 out of 111 ewes (35.1%), and 45 embryos out of the total of 191 were lost (23.6%). Among the ewes which experienced embryonic death, 28 ewes maintained pregnancy while 11 ewes (9 single, 1 twin, and 1 triple pregnancy) did not. Among the embryos that were dead, 9 (20%), 20 (44.4%), and 16 (35.6%) were from single, twin, and triple pregnancies, respectively. Rates of embryonic death in the total number of embryos according to type pregnancy were 20% (9/45), 18.5% (20/108), and 41% (16/39). Incidence of embryonic deaths were 22.2% (10/45), 51.1% (23/45), 22.2% (10/45), and 4.5% (2/45) for Days 22, 26, 30, and 34, respectively. The majority of embryonic deaths were observed by Day 22 in single pregnancies and by Day 26 in multiple pregnancies. Incidence of termination of pregnancy in single pregnancies was significantly higher than for twin pregnancies (P < 0.01). The rate of embryonic mortality between single and twin pregnancies was not significant, whereas it was significant among single and triple and among twin and triple pregnancies (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01, respectively). In conclusion, incidence of embryonic death was similar between single and twin pregnancies but the majority of pregnancy losses were observed in single pregnancies. Although embryonic deaths are observed, maintenance of pregnancy conceals the problem of embryonic mortality in multiple pregnancies. Therefore, applications to improve the survival of embryos during the first month after mating could yield higher numbers of lambs.

This experiment includes 228 local Awassi ewes between 2 to 5 yearsold. The aim of this experiment was to estimate the fetal age bymeasurement of transthoracic, transabdominal, cotyledon length and widthduring different period of gestation by using 5MHz real-timeultrasonography. Linear, quadratic and cubic equations were described,which adjust the relationship between the gestation age and each oftransthoracic, transabdominal, cotyledon length and width. Results indicatedthat the quadratic equations of transthoracic and transabdominal were thebest equations; while the cubic equations of each of the cotyledon length andwidth were the best equations to estimate the fetal age
