The ancient Hindu literature on Kama (Love) is reviewed with reference to the early works on which the Vatsyayana's Kama Sutra is based and the later works which follow it. Sexuality as described in the ancient treatise is considered under the heads of sexual foreplay, techniques of coitus, and genital oral sexuality and in the light of the modern researches. The relevance of the Kama Sutra to ...

METHOD(S): This case control study was carried out on 134 patients labeled as having UTI when urinary culture was positive. Normal individuals with negative culture, matched with the study subjects comprised the control group. Matching was designed for age, frequency of coitus, years of marriage and use of contraception. BV based on standard Amsel criteria was determined in both the groups. The...

Inoculation of female rabbits with `coagulo-prostatic fluid' (CPF), a secretory-specific autoantigen of male accessory sexual glands, permitted the identification by the methods of gel precipitation and passive haemagglutination of tissueand species-specific antibodies to CPF. Subsequent mating of females with high titres of circulating antibodies to CPF at the time of coitus resulted in impair...

The Hedgehog (Hh) family of secreted proteins are key factors that control pattern formation in invertebrates and vertebrates. The manner in which Hh molecules regulate a target cell remains poorly understood. In the Drosophila embryo, Hh is produced in identical stripes of cells in the posterior compartment of each segment. From these cells a Hh signal acts in both anterior and posterior direc...

Hedgehog (Hh) proteins play diverse organizing roles in animal development by regulating gene expression in responding cells. Several components of the Hh signal transduction pathway have been identified, yet their precise role in mediating the various outputs of the pathway is still poorly understood. The Gli homolog Cubitus interruptus (Ci) is involved in controlling the transcription of Dros...
