Bovine mastitis is the persistent, inflammatory reaction of the udder tissue due to physical trauma or microorganisms infections. Mastitis, a potentially fatal mammary gland infection, is the most common disease in dairy cattle in the United States and worldwide. It is also the most costly disease to the dairy industry. [1]
Extramammary Paget's disease (EMPD) is a rare and slow-growing malignancy which occurs within the epithelium [1] and accounts for 6.5% of all Paget's disease. [2] The clinical presentation of this disease is similar to the characteristics of mammary Paget's disease (MPD). [3] However, unlike MPD, which occurs in large lactiferous ducts and then ...
Lactiferous ducts are ducts that converge and form a branched system connecting the nipple to the lobules of the mammary gland.When lactogenesis occurs, under the influence of hormones, the milk is moved to the nipple by the action of smooth muscle contractions along the ductal system to the tip of the nipple.
James Paget. Paget's disease of the breast (also known as mammary Paget's disease) is a rare skin change at the nipple nearly always associated with underlying breast cancer. [2] Paget's disease of the breast was first described by Sir James Paget in 1874. [3] The condition is an uncommon disease accounting for 1 to 4% of all breast cancers cases.
Milk fever, postparturient hypocalcemia, or parturient paresis is a disease, primarily in dairy cattle [1] but also seen in beef cattle and non-bovine domesticated animals, [2] characterized by reduced blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia). It occurs following parturition (birth), at onset of lactation, when demand for calcium for colostrum and ...
Colostrum gives the milk a yellowish hue. Look up beestings in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Colostrum (from Latin, of unknown origin) is the first form of milk produced by the mammary glands of humans and other mammals immediately following delivery of the newborn. [1] It may be called beestings, the traditional word from Old English ...
excellent. Invasive cribriform carcinoma of the breast (ICCB), also termed invasive cribriform carcinoma, is a rare type of breast cancer that accounts for 0.3% to 0.6% of all carcinomas (i.e. cancers that develop from epithelial cells) in the breast. [ 1 ] It originates in a lactiferous duct as opposed to the lobules that form the alveoli in ...
Udder. An udder is an organ formed of two or four mammary glands on the females of dairy animals and ruminants such as cattle, goats, and sheep. [1] An udder is equivalent to the breast in primates and elephantine pachyderms. The udder is a single mass hanging beneath the animal, consisting of pairs of mammary glands with protruding teats.
