Repeated pregnancy in a woman with uterine prolapse from a rural area in Nepal.   Reprod Health Matters, 19(37): 129-32.

Pelvic organ prolapse is common in rural women in Nepal. Pregnancy in a woman with pelvic organ prolapse is uncommon and rarely continues beyond the second trimester. If it proceeds after that, the uterus usually ascends with progression of pregnancy and becomes abdominal, leaving little trace of prolapse. Pregnancy continuing to term with uterine prolapse is very rare. The case reported here is of a pregnant woman from a remote district in Nepal who had nine pregnancies and at 38 weeks of ...

Barriers and facilitators affecting vasectomy acceptability (a multi stages study in a sample from north eastern of Iran), 2005-2007.   Asia Pac Fam Med, 10(1): 5.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: In this study we aimed to find factors affecting vasectomy acceptability in Shahroud (north eastern Iran). METHODS: This study was carried out in three stages. The first stage was a survey of couples that had the vasectomy procedure during 2004-2007 in the Shahroud area. In the second stage of the study we compared characteristics of the cases (the couples who had the vasectomy procedure during the study period) and controls (including couples with at least one child that ...

Regulatory T cells control tolerogenic versus autoimmune response to sperm in vasectomy.   Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 108(18): 7511-6.

Vasectomy is a well accepted global contraceptive approach frequently associated with epididymal granuloma and sperm autoantibody formation. To understand the long-term sequelae of vasectomy, we investigated the early immune response in vasectomized mice. Vasectomy leads to rapid epithelial cell apoptosis and necrosis, persistent inflammation, and sperm granuloma formation in the epididymis. Vasectomized B6AF1 mice did not mount autoimmune response but instead developed sperm antigen-specific ... [Abstract] [Full-text]

Cytokine Responses to E. coli-induced Epididymitis in the Rat: Blockade by Vasectomy.   Urology.

OBJECTIVES: To determine cytokine responses in rat epididymal tissues after retrograde Escherichia coli inoculation of the cauda epididymidis via the intact and obstructed vas deferens. METHODS: Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into 3 groups: bilateral sham vasectomy followed by unilateral sham retrograde inoculation in the vas deferens (group A), bilateral sham vasectomy followed by unilateral retrograde inoculation of E. coli (group B), and bilateral vasectomy followed by ...

Constitutional Risk Factors In Prostate Cancer.   Actas Urol Esp, 35(5): 289-295.

INTRODUCTION: The aim is to update and disclose the main environmental risk factors, excluding dietary factors, involved in the etiopathology of prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHOD: Bibliographic review of the last 25years of non-dietary environmental risk factors associated with prostate cancer between 1985 and 2010, obtained from MedLine, CancerLit, Science Citation Index and Embase. The search profiles were Environmental Risk Factors/Tobacco/Infectious-Inflammatory ... [Abstract] [Full-text]
