T h e control o f female fertility by al imentary tract vaccination with sperm antigens has remained a theoretical possibility connect ing observations of sperm immunogenici ty and consequent infertility in various species, including humans (for review see references 1-3), with the translation o f gut mucosal immune reactivity to anatomically r emote mucosal sites, including the female genital ...

immune infertility, in terms of reproductive failure, has become a serious health issue involving approximately 1 out of 5 couples at reproductive age. semen that is defined as a complex fluid containing sperm, cellular vesicles and other cells and components, could sensitize the female genital tract. the immune rejection of male semen in the female reproductive tract is explained as the failur...

a 75-year–old patient was referred with vaginal bleeding. her physical exam showed two flat dark plaques on the posterior fourchette, mostly on left lateral side of the vulva. a black soft mucosal nodule was present on the left lateral side of upper vagina, and a polypoid ulcerative cervical lesion extended into the right parametrium. cervical and vaginal biopsies were in favor of malignant mel...

Our understanding of how male seminal fluid proteins (SFPs) influence the outcome of copulation in a wide range of insect taxa has been fueled primarily by studies of Drosophila (1). SFPs are known to localize, after copulation, to specific regions of the female reproductive tract and nervous system. Manipulative studies revealed that these proteins control a number of postcopulatory processes,...

The murine female reproductive tract differentiates along the anteroposterior axis during postnatal development. This process is marked by the emergence of distinct cell types in the oviduct, uterus, cervix and vagina and is dependent upon specific mesenchymal-epithelial interactions as demonstrated by earlier heterografting experiments. Members of the Wnt family of signaling molecules have bee...

urinary tract infection (uti) is a common disease in childhood specially in female. in this study 50 patients with stablished diagnosis of uti were evaluated by both renal scan with tc-99m dmsa and renal sonography. the study revealed that most urinary tract infections are in children, female sex between 5-9 years of age. therefore the most important complications (renal scarring) are also comm...
