Mixed metaplastic carcinoma of the breast associated with pregnancy: Diagnostic dilemmas in fine-needle aspiration cytology.

29 Sep 2009 Metaplastic carcinoma of the breast represents a rare entity characterized by the simultaneous presence of ductal, squamous, and/or mesenchymal components in several proportions. There are limitations in fine-needle aspiration diagnosis due to its ... Read more...

The effects of lactation and infant care on adult energy budgets in wild siamangs (Symphalangus syndactylus).

29 Sep 2009 In mammals with biparental care of offspring, males and females may bear substantial energetic costs of reproduction. Adult strategies to reduce energetic stress include changes in activity patterns, reduced basal metabolic rates, and storage of ... Read more...

Repeatability in lactation performance and the consequences for maternal reproductive success in gray seals.

30 Aug 2009 In mammals, the most significant maternal effect on offspring growth during lactation is the ability of females to efficiently transfer milk energy to their neonates. However, despite the importance of the transfer of milk energy to both maternal ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Lactation'

Definition: The processes of milk secretion by the maternal MAMMARY GLANDS after PARTURITION. The proliferation of the mammary glandular tissue, milk synthesis, and milk expulsion or let down are regulated by the interactions of several hormones including ESTRADIOL; PROGESTERONE; PROLACTIN; and OXYTOCIN.
