Reproductive problems in water buffalo cows associated with non-diagnosed genital lepto- spirosis. Preliminary results by Rosaura Pérez-Gil

“… Leptospirosis in female buffaloes can cause abortions, fetal death, premature calving, and the birth of weak and/or underweight calves; however, sub-fertility and early embryonic death have been little studied. In addition, it is not completely understood whether these reproductive problems are associated with the persistence of the bacteria in the reproductive tract. …”

Development of autonomic innervation at the venous pole of the heart: bridging the gap from mice to human by Fleur Zwanenburg, Thomas A. Bos, Arend D. J. Ten Harkel, Monique C. Haak, Nathan D. Hahurij, Robert E. Poelmann, Conny J. van Munsteren, Lambertus J. Wisse, Nico A. Blom, Marco C. DeRuiter, Monique R. M. Jongbloed

“…Structures related to arrhythmogenicity in humans, such as the ligament/vein of Marshall and the myocardium surrounding the pulmonary veins, become highly innervated during embryonic development in both mice and humans. Conclusion Although early morphological cANS development at sinus venosus-related structures follows a similar sequence in mice and humans, there are substantial differences in the timing of functional establishment and differentiation in sympathetic and parasympathetic phenotypes, which should be taken into account when extrapolating mouse studies of the cANS to humans. …”
