Following a normal parturition and post-parturient period, puppies would normally be expected to have acquired reasonable levels of MDA - assuming that the bitch had a reasonable level of immunity to parvovirus - and should be protected against disease for the first few weeks of life [ 24].
Takayanagi Y, Yoshida M, Bielsky IF, Ross HE, Kawamata M, Onaka T et al. Pervasive social deficits, but normal parturition, in oxytocin receptor-deficient mice.
Bull calves used in this study were born from normal parturition, fed 4 L of pooled pasteurized colostrum by esophageal feeder, and moved to a research facility at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY).
Previous studies have shown that proinflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1β, interleukin-6, interleukin-8, and tumor necrosis factor alpha are up-regulated in normal parturition but are also associated with preterm birth.
The current study was designed to characterise K+ transport in human fetal red blood cells, containing mainly haemoglobin F (HbF, and termed HbF cells), isolated from umbilical cords following normal parturition.
Description of the birth canal, behavioral signs of normal parturition (stages I to III), dystocia (presentations, positions, and postures), hygiene practices during the assistance procedure, strategies for intervention (when and how to intervene), record-keeping, communication (when to call for help), and newborn care were discussed.
Matched mother−child samples were obtained in connection with consecutive normal parturitions in the Faroe Islands.
The present study was conducted to explore the association between senescence and normal term parturition by examining the morphologic and biochemical evidences in chorioamniotic membranes.
Following implantation, the process of normal spontaneous parturition can be divided into the phases described below in Figure 1(modified from [ 3, 9]).
Primary partial uterine inertia occurs when there is enough uterine activity to initiate parturition but it is insufficient to complete a normal birth of all fetuses, in the absence of an obstruction.
Objective: Our purpose was to determine whether pre-B-cell colony-enhancing factor (PBEF) is expressed in the human fetal membranes during normal gestation and parturition in the absence of infection and to show its effects on the expression of interleukin (IL -6 and IL -6
