Article Abstract
The following case report describes two pregnancies contralateral to the side of the corpus luteum (CL) that were carried to term after artificial insemination (AI) in Holstein heifers. Pregnancy diagnosis was performed by ultrasonography at 32, 46 and 74 days after timed AI. Both heifers had the pregnancy located within the right uterine horn and only one CL on the left ovary. Another eight lactating cows with contralateral pregnancies were followed around the same time; however, all lost the pregnancies between 32 days after AI and 74 days after AI. Pregnancies contralateral to the side of the CL have been described after embryo transfer in heifers, but to our knowledge, this is the first report of contralateral pregnancies after AI that were carried to term in heifers. In previous reports, all seven cows with contralateral pregnancies lost the pregnancies by 49 days of gestation. It is not clear why contralateral pregnancies can be successful in heifers but not in lactating Holstein cows. In summary, we confirmed that contralateral pregnancies were not viable in lactating Holstein cows but that successful contralateral pregnancies after AI are possible in Holstein heifers. The mechanism for this finding deserves further investigation.

Intramammary infections are common in nonlactating dairy cattle and have been shown to disrupt mammary tissue architecture in nonpregnant heifers. However, their effect on mammary development during pregnancy remains unclear. This study assessed the effects of IMI on mammary gland development in pregnant dairy heifers during late gestation.

Background: Advanced MRI techniques, motion-correction and T2*-relaxometry, may provide information regarding functional properties of pulmonary tissue. We assessed whether lung volumes and pulmonary T2* values in fetuses with congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) were lower than controls and differed between survivors and non-survivors.
Methods: Women with uncomplicated pregnancies (controls) and those with a CDH had a fetal MRI on a 1.
Reproductive factors and risk of contralateral breast cancer by age and hormone receptor status: The California Breast Cancer Survivorship Consortium.

Associations between reproductive factors and the risk of developing a contralateral second primary invasive breast cancer (CBC) are inconclusive. A pooled cohort of women with a first primary invasive breast cancer (FBC) from five California-based studies (8045 stage I-III FBC diagnosed from 1994 to 2009) was linked with the California Cancer Registry; 532 CBC were identified. We analyzed harmonized data and evaluated associations with reproductive factors using Fine and Gray regression to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI), adjusted for study, age at FBC diagnosis, race and ethnicity, and other risk factors previously identified in this pooled dataset (hormone receptor status, first-degree family history of breast cancer).

Objectives: Prompt diagnosis and management of ectopic pregnancy help prevent major morbidity and mortality in the first trimester. While studies frequently describe the general locations of ectopic pregnancies, there is less emphasis specifically on left- versus right-sided dominance. Understanding the lateralization patterns could enhance diagnostic accuracy and treatment strategies, thereby reducing the morbidity and mortality associated with this condition.

Uterine torsion during pregnancy is a rare and life-threatening condition that is frequently misdiagnosed due to nonspecific symptoms and imaging limitations. This case report describes a 32-year-old third gravida (G3, P0+2) with recurrent pregnancy loss, having a 16.9 cm uterine fibroid and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (managed with bisoprolol), who presented at 24 weeks with severe abdominal pain.
