The aim of the study was to investigate for the effect of different drugs immediately after parturition on the reduction of retention of placenta in selected cows. One hundred pregnant cows from members of Community Based Dairy Veterinary Foundation, Shikalbaha, Potiya, Chittagong were included in this study belonged to two breeds viz, cross bred and local, aged 3-8 years, calved 1-5 times with BCS 2-3.5. The cows were divided into five groups; group L (n=20) treated with oxytocin 50 iu/intramuscular, group IL (n=20) treated with calcium 400 ml/intravenous, group III: (n=20) treated with methyl ergometrine maleate 20 mg/intramuscular, group IV: (n=20) treated with oxytocin 50 iu/ intramuscular plus calcium 400 ml/ intravenous and group V: (n=20) served as non-treated control. The incidence of retained fetal membrane was 35% in control group, while that of pooled treatment group had 15%. This reduction was significant (P<0.05). In the present study, there was no significant difference among the different treatment groups on the prevention of retention (P>0.05). The incidence of retained fetal membrane was affected by the age and breed of cows (P<0.05). However, this effect was override by treatment and injection of drugs immediately after parturition decreases the incidence of retention of placenta in cows.

Abstract Background Endometriosis is defined as the presence and growth of endometrial tissue implants, outside the uterine cavity. It may be pelvic and extra-pelvic sites. Endometriosis in an episiotomy scar is extremely rare but can lead to significant morbidity in patients due to local infiltration. This condition usually presents with clinical triad of history of episiotomy, tender nodule at the scar site and cyclical pain. Case Presentation Here we report one such case of episiotomy scar endometriosis in the perineum of a 30 years young female (P1L1) which presented with swelling and pain in perineal region. The clinical examination and Ultrasonography (USG) corroborate with diagnosis of episiotomy scar endometriosis. Excision was done and histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis. Conclusion Episiotomy scar endometriosis should always be kept in differential diagnosis when a lady presents with painful perineal swelling which increases during menstruation. This can be diagnosed with clinical and radiological examination. Wide local excision is the treatment of choice. Confirmation of the lesion can be done with histopathological examination.
