Abstract : The Royal College of Psychiatry, England, asked 10 principal investigators who had done research in the area of induced abortion and its consequences to comment on the draft paper written by the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health. This paper is a summary of the 100..

Abstract: Sexual reproduction is common in eukaryotic organisms from yeasts to humans. However, the question as to why sexual reproduction is so ubiquitous is a conundrum in evolutionary biology. In theory, sexual populations suffer a twofold cost compared to asexual populations. A multitude of theories attempts to explain this ..

Abstract : Testis is very rich in unsaturated fatty acids with poor antioxidant defense system and due to presence of a potential reactive oxygen species (ROS)-generating systems, it is much more vulnerable to oxidative damage than other tissues. Thyroid hormones are well known to regulate steroidogenesis and spermatogenesis, the..

Abstract : Background: Recent evidence suggests that astrocytes have important neuroregulatory functions besides classic functions of support and segregation of neurons which includes regulation of neuron communication,neurosecretion and synaptic plasticity.The aim of this review was to focus on astrocyte-neuron interactions in t..

Abstract: The aim of this study was to assess knowledge, attitudes and practices of undergraduate students with respect to STIs and preventive behaviours. An interview schedule was used to gather information from a cross section of 279 undergraduates from Mumbai. Study results indicate that the majority of undergraduates had a l..

Abstract : The sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA) was applied to human sperm, and factors affecting its routine operation investigated. The findings indicated that(a) non-sperm cells in semen can contribute to the results of the SCSA, (b) snap freezing in liquid nitrogen does not affect the result of the SCSA and is a good wa..

Abstract: The aim of this work was to study the influence of vitamin E (2mM) on capacitation and acrosome reaction of crossbred cattle bull spermatozoa. Fresh semen suspended in TALP medium (pH 7.4) was divided into four equal fractions. All fractions; control (containing TALP + spermatozoa) and the experimental [treated / untre..

Abstract : Parturition is the process of delivery of the fully grown fetus on the completion of the normal pregnancy period. Parturition is an interesting biological process in the sense that the uterus that was quiescent during the entire pregnancy starts contracting and the cervix that was tightly contracted relax sufficiently ..

Abstract : Problems during transport have been described in the literature for human embryos despite specifically-designed dry shippers, including failure of the dry shipper and poorer outcomes using the transported material. The aim of the present study was to examine the performance after thawing of embryos imported to the Holl..

Abstract : The thawing of frozen human zygotes and culture to the blastocyst stage often generates supernumerary blastocysts which can be refrozen. A total of 9 recipients of donated oocytes and 35 women originally at risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome had such blastocysts thawed. There were respective survival rates of 72..
