The oxytocin at the rate of 20 IU was mixed with 60 ml of normal saline and infused through umbilical artery in the hanging portion of retained foetal membrane in the treatment group. After infusion, the umbilical artery was tied and the animals were left for 10-15 minutes and retained foetal membrane was removed manually by using standard procedure. Subsequently Oxytetracycline bolus @ 3-5g was kept inside the uterus and and the animals were treated with anti-inflammatory and anti-histaminic for 5 days. The control animals were not infused with oxytocin but RFM removed manually and treated similarly as in the treatment group. Further, the experimental animals were observed for any development of post-partum septic metritis and delayed uterine involution until 60 days of post-partum and the results are discussed.ThesisItem Open Access EVALUATION OF ENDOMETRIAL CYTOLOGY AND NUCLEARMORPHOMETRY IN DIAGNOSIS OF UTERINE DISORDERS IN BITCHES(TANUVAS, 2016) Monica, G; Joseph, Cecilia; TANUVAS; Sridevi, P; Jayanthi, NInfertility in the bitch refers to the inability to conceive and produce viable offspring. Apart from improper breeding management, there are various other parameters which are predisposing bitches to be either subfertile or infertile. Endometrial cytology plays a major diagnostic procedure in human, cattle and equine infertile cases and hence present work has been carried out focusing on canine infertility. The study was carried out in Small Animal Gynaecology and Obstetrics Out Patient Ward (SAC-OG-OP) of Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital and bitches aged 2-8 years which were brought for breeding advice and also with the history of uterine pathology and infertility were subjected for the study.ArticleItem Open Access MANAGEMENT OF INCOMPLETE CERVICAL DILATATION COUPLED WITH PARTIAL FOETAL MACERATION IN A NON-DESCRIPT DOE(2018-12) Monica, G; Sarath, T; Sureshkumar, R, et al.,; TANUVASIn the present communication, an unusual case of imperfect cervical dilatation coupled with partial fetal maceration in addition to live kids in a non-descript goat is reported.ArticleItem Open Access Medical management of submandibular abscess in a caprine kid: A case study(2021) Monica, G; Inbaraj, C; Vigneshwaran, S, et al.,; TANUVASA ten day old goat kid was presented with the history of swelling at the neck region since five days. On clinical examination, the temperature, pulse rate, heart rate and respiratory rate were in normal range. A soft swelling was evident at the left neck region. Fine needle aspiration using a 20G needle evidenced collection of pus within the cavity. The contents were then drained. Povidone Iodine solution was applied followed by administration of fluids, antibiotics and anti-histaminics for five days. The animal recovered uneventfully.ArticleItem Open Access OBSTETRICAL MANAGEMENT OF POSTPARTUM TOTAL UTERINE PROLAPSE BY COELIOTOMY AND SINGLE DOSE OF CEFOVECIN SODIUM IN A QUEEN CAT(2021-04) Rangasamy, S; Monica, G; Gopinadhan, Aparna, et al.,; TANUVASThe present paper describes the postpartum total uterine prolapse in a queen cat and its management by coeliotomy and single dose administration of injection Cefovecin sodium subcutaneously.ArticleItem Open Access Oestrus induced hypocalcaemia in a cross breed jersey cow: A case report(2021) Inbaraj, C; Monica, G; Vigneshwaran, S, et al.,; TANUVASA seven-year-old cross breed jersey cow was presented with a history of estrus followed by lateral recumbency. On observation cow was dull, depressed, anorectic, difficulty in defecation and urination, tail in a raised position with straining for defecation and respiratory distress. Physical examination revealed subnormal temperature (99.5o F), increased heart rate 80/min with low intensity of heart sound, dry muzzle and cool extremities. Rectal examination revealed the presence of mucus in the rectum. Cow was having mild bloody vaginal discharge and it was suspected as metestrus. The blood sample was showing low serum calcium of 4.2 mg/dL and it was confirmed as esturs induced hypocalcemia. The cow was treated with calcium borogluconate 250 ml I/V and 200 ml subcutaneously followed by oral drenching of calcium and the cow was recovered uneventfully.PresentationItem Open Access Styrene Maleic Anhydride (Sma) as a male Contraceptive: a Novel non Hormonal Approach in Dog and Rat(2020-02) Umamageswari, J; Monica, G; Balasubramaniam, S; Rangasamy, S; et al.; TANUVASThe present work involves the development of a novel method of contraception in male animals using a synthetic co-polymer of Styrene Maleic Anhydride (SMA). For the polymer preparation, a simple single pot RAFT polymerization technique was carried out. The 2-dodecyl-thiocarbonothioyl-thio-propanoic acid (PADTC) was synthesized in the first step which was then used as a catalyst to initiate the polymerization process between styrene and maleic anhydride. The prepared SMA was analyzed using NMR, FTIR, MALDITOF, Zeta potential analyzer for its physical properties which proved to be similar to the commercially available polymer. The in vitro viability and integrity of canine spermatozoa were tested using different concentration of polymer. The motility, acrosomal integrity, mitochondrial membrane potential and DNA integrity before and after incubation were tested and the results indicated that 2 mg dissolved in100 μl DMSOproduced necrozoospermia in 60 minutes. The micro structural alterations of the sperm were confirmed using Atomic force microscopy (AFM). The invivo studies were performed using bilateral injection of polymer hydrogel into the vas deferens of adult male Wistar rats (n=6). Those injected rats were cohabitated with female rats (1:2) post 15 days of surgery and proved to produce no litters. The results indicated that the SMA formed a chemical mesh inside vas deferens which was evident through Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and causes electrolytic interaction in the sperms passing through it and hence rendering it infertile for a conception. In conclusion, SMA would be a quantum leap in modern contraception when it comes to mass sterilization of stray dogs.ArticleItem Open Access Ultrasonographic and Haemato-biochemical Evaluation of Bitches Affected with Cystic Endometrial Hyperplasia-Pyometra Complex(Excellent Publishers, 2018-06) Samantha, Gopal; Sarath, T; Monica, G; Arunmozhi, N; Sridevi, P; Joseph, Cecilia; TANUVASThe data relating to the present investigation has been generated from ten clinical cases of cystic endometrial hyperplasia-pyometra complex in dogs presented to the Small Animal Veterinary Gynaecology and Obstetrics Unit, Department of Clinics, Madras Veterinary College Teaching Hospital, Chennai during the period from May’ 2017 to July’ 2017. All the dogs were subjected to ultrasonographic examinations and haemato-biochemical studies for confirmatory diagnosis. The uterus was examined to evaluate the integrity of endometrium, presence of exudates, sacculations and cystic hyperplasia of endometrial glands based on the classification with Group A having no cysts, normal endometrial surface and anechoic uterine content, Group B having few and small cysts, normal endometrial surface, anechoic uterine content, Group C havingmany and large cysts, irregular surface and hypertrophic endometrium and Group D having many and large cysts in all the uterus, irregular surface and hypertrophic or atrophic endometrium, hyperechoic uterine content. Haematological parameters viz. haemoglobin, PCV, total leukocyte count, differential leukocyte count, RBC count, platelet count and biochemical parameters like BUN, creatinine, ALT/ SGPT, calcium and phosphorus were analysed statistically and the results are discussed.OtherItem Open Access ULTRASTRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF RAT SPERMATOZOA FOLLOWING TREATMENT WITH CO-POLYMER STYRENE MALEIC ANHYDRIDE (SMA) IN VITRO(2019-12) Monica, G; Umamageswari, J; Sridevi, P; et al.; TANUVASAdministration of co-polymer SMA dissolved in the vehicle Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), into the lumen of the vas deferens is a recent and very effective vas deferens-based fertility control procedure that blocks the lumen of the vas deferens and also impairs the fertilizing ability of the spermatozoa that pass in the vicinity of the lumen because of its electrical charge and pH-lowering action (Lohiya et al., 1998). In the present study, the micro structural alterations caused by treatment of rat spermatozoa with Styrene Maleic Anhydride (SMA) in vitro were analysed by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). Spermatozoa recovered by mincing method from sacrificed adult male Wistar rats were utilized for the study. The recovered sperms were microscopically examined for their motility, diluted with TRIS buffer and incubated for 60 minutes with co-polymer SMA prepared by Reversible Addition-Fragmentation chain-Transfer (RAFT) polymerization technique@ 2 mg in 100 μl of DMSO. Washed epididymal sperms were fixed with 2.5% Glutaraldehyde in PBS (pH 7.4) for 30 min at 37°C and immobilized on 0.01% Poly- L-Lysine coated slides prior to analysis. Tapping mode AFM of untreated rat spermatozoa showed regularacrosome, mid-piece, post-acrosomal segment and flagellum that were clearly visible due to local height variations whereas SMA treated rat epididymal sperms revealed disintegrated surface topology with complete loss of smoothness. For SEM, a thin film of spermatozoa was smeared on a SEM stub with silver paint, airdried, sputter-coated with gold and observed under scanning electron microscope. Untreated spermatozoa had regular smooth sperm head with distinct acrosome, principle piece and flagellum whereas SMA treated spermatozoa revealed distorted acrosome. Hence, it is concluded that SMA can be a great breakthrough in canine contraception when injected through intravasal route which is already in phase III clinical trials in humans.
