objective(s): several researchers have reported the relationship between infertility in male and varicocele for so many years but the implication of varicocele in female patients is remains elusive. here, we aim to examine the effects of unilateral varicose ovarian vein on antioxidant capacity and oocyte quality of rat ovary after the experimental creation of varicocele in female rats. material...

Petroleum ether extract of seeds of Cassia fistula was screened for the antifertility activity in proven fertile female albino rats at the doses 100, 200 and 500mg/kg b.wt./day. Oral administration of the extract to mated female rats on days 1-5 of pregnancy resulted in a decline in the fertility index, numbers of uterine implants and live fetuses in a dose dependent manner as was confirmed by ...

Acetone extract of Stem of Ocimum gratissimum was screened for the antifertility activity in proven fertile female albino rats at the doses 100, 200 and 500 mg/kg b.wt./day. Oral administration of the extract to mated female rats on days 1-5 of pregnancy resulted in a decline in the fertility index, numbers of uterine implants and live fetuses in a dose dependent manner as was confirmed by lapa...

BACKGROUND Aedes albopictus, the Asian tiger mosquito, is a vector of several arboviruses including dengue and chikungunya, and is also a significant nuisance mosquito. It is one of the most invasive of mosquitoes with a relentlessly increasing geographic distribution. Conventional control methods have so far failed to control Ae. albopictus adequately. Novel genetics-based strategies offer a p...

In our laboratory, young male Holtzman rats have good libido but this decreases with age until some males will refuse to mate a receptive female. After accumulating data on a male's fertility and on his offspring, this lack of libido is a hindrance in certain types of experiments. One of the authors noted that when he pinched old males to wake them up or to make them more active, they frequentl...

Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) is a rare type of neuroaxonal dystrophy that can be familial or sporadic, characterized by progressive extrapyramidal degeneration. We report a case of 23 year old male who presented with cervical dystonia, dysarthria and MRI brain suggestive of characteristic "eye-of-the-tiger" appearance in the globus pallidus.
