This article focuses on the collective memory within the Brazilian Northeast of three iconic figures, a renowned bandit, a miracle-working priest and a famous singer, identifying and analyzing the attributes that account for their status as regional heroes. It suggests that these attributes form a counter-narrative that casts them as champions of the powerless and victims of injustice, themes that resonate among and reflect the lived experience of the northeast’s masses. This element of resistance ...

Mondia whitei has been used since ancient times as an aphrodisiac even though little scientific evidence exists about its efficacy. An aqueous extract of Mondia whitei was administered to human spermatozoa in vitro and motility parameters assessed. Mondia whitei significantly enhanced total motility as well as progressive motility in a time-dependent manner. These data may open the way for the use of Mondia whitei especially in men affected with asthenozoospermia.

Many studies have reported the effects of cytokines on human sperm function, even though their role and the mechanisms involved remain unclear. The effects of increasing concentrations of the cytokines TNF-alpha and IL-6 on human sperm motility and viability were assessed, and the possible mechanisms involved were investigated. TNF-alpha and IL-6 significantly reduced progressive motility at higher concentrations in a dose- and time-dependent manner. No differences were observed in cell viability. ...

To investigate the in vitro effects of insulin and leptin on human sperm motility, viability, acrosome reaction and nitric oxide (NO) production.Washed human spermatozoa from normozoospermic donors were treated with insulin (10 microIU) and leptin (10 nmol). Insulin and leptin effects were blocked by inhibition of their intracellular effector, phosphotidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), by wortmannin (10 micromol) 30 min prior to insulin and leptin being given. Computer-assisted semen analysis was used to ...

This study was aimed at investigating semen parameters that vary most in samples of healthy donors undergoing stressful examination period.Samples were left to liquefy in an incubator at 37 degrees C, 5% CO2 for 30 minutes before volume was measured. Concentration and motility parameters were measured by means of computer assisted semen analysis (CASA) using Sperm Class Analyzer (Microptic S.L, Madrid, Spain).Sperm concentration was significantly decreased in samples donated close to the exam period ...

Research has revealed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) negatively affect sperm function, both in vivo and in vitro. Sperm preparation techniques for assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are potential causes for additional ROS production. This study aimed to correlate the concentration of exogenous H(2)O(2) with sperm motility parameters and intracellular ROS and nitric oxide (NO) levels to reiterate the importance of minimising ROS levels in ART. Human spermatozoa from 10 donors were incubated ...

Various systems of antioxidants exist endogenously in the body to help protect it against free radical damage by scavenging excessive ROS and RNS. Melatonin, a hormone secreted by the pineal gland, and responsible for controlling the circadian rhythm, is one such endogenous antioxidant. Melatonin has been reported to be present in human seminal fluid, but its antioxidant activities in semen are rather contradictory. This study aimed at establishing the effects of melatonin treatment on human spermatozoa. ...

Summary We have demonstrated that intracellular nitric oxide (NO) can be detected and measured directly in human spermatozoa by flow cytometry using the fluorescent probe 4,5‐diaminofluorescein‐2/diacetate (10 μ m ). This method can measure both exogenously added as well as endogenously generated intracellular NO.

Several studies report an increase in both male and female factors in infertility worldwide. In recent years there has been a tremendous increase in couples seeking assisted reproductive technology (ART) procedures in order to have children. However, the success rates of these procedures still remain very low. One of the major contributing factors to the low success rate in ART has been the damage caused by free radicals to the gametes and the developing embryo. The manipulation of gametes and embryos ...

Low bone mineral density is becoming more common among people living with HIV following the use of current antiretroviral therapy drugs such as tenofovir. Although pharmacological therapies used to treat low bone mineral density are associated with adverse effects and may increase the pill burden in people living with HIV who are already burdened by antiretroviral therapy drugs, non-pharmacological strategies to prevent and treat reduced bone mineral density resulting from antiretroviral therapy ...

Male genital schistosomiasis (MGS) is a gender specific manifestation of urogenital schistosomiasis (UGS) first described in 1911 by Madden in Egypt. Today, while affecting millions of men and boys worldwide, MGS receives insufficient attention, especially in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). To provide a systematic review with an epidemiological update of MGS, we inspected both online and hardcopy resources in our appraisal. A total of 147 articles were eventually identified, only 31 articles were exclusively ...

Eichhornia crassipes is reported to have molecules that are active against liver, cervical, breast cancers and melanoma cells. This systematic review was conducted according to Cochrane hand book of systematic review and guidelines for systematic reviews aiming to explore the potential that the plant has in providing drug leads against cancer. The results show that only a few molecules (10) have been elucidated from leaves of the plant and shown to be active against cancers. The molecules are alkaloids ...

The high burden of disease in Malawi is exacerbated by a lack of healthcare professionals, and the inaccessibility of healthcare services to many Malawians, due to geographical and financial barriers. The World Health Organization commends the contribution that traditional and complementary medicine could make to achieve such coverage through its integration into health systems. This study aimed to evaluate the barriers that exist between traditional healers and biomedical practitioners for them ...

Abstract We provide an update on diagnostic methods for the detection of urogenital schistosomiasis (UGS) in men and highlight that satisfactory urine-antigen diagnostics for UGS lag much behind that for intestinal schistosomiasis, where application of a urine-based point-of-care strip assay, the circulating cathodic antigen (CCA) test, is now advocated. Making specific reference to male genital schistosomiasis (MGS), we place greater emphasis on parasitological detection methods and clinical assessment ...

Introduction Use of tenofovir based anti-retroviral therapy (ART) in HIV patients is associated with low bone mineral density (BMD). Low BMD predisposes people living with HIV (PLWHIV) to fractures thereby increasing morbidity and mortality. Since the introduction of tenofovir based ARV regimens in 2011, information on the prevalence of low BMD in PLWHIV and receiving ART is still scarce in Malawi. This study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of low BMD among adults living with ...

Male genital schistosomiasis (MGS) is an often-overlooked chronic consequence of urogenital schistosomiasis (UGS) associated with Schistosoma haematobium eggs and associated pathologies in the genital system of afflicted men. Despite the first formal description of MGS in 1911 by Madden, its epidemiology, diagnostic testing and case management of today are not well-described. However, since several interactions between MGS and the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) are known, there is renewed public ...

Urogenital schistosomiasis causes morbidity within the genitalia but is underreported and infrequently examined in men. To draw attention to male genital schistosomiasis (MGS), a longitudinal cohort study was conducted among fishermen along the southwestern shoreline of Lake Malawi. A case series of five participants is presented inclusive of questionnaire interviews, parasitological examinations, ultrasonography, and provision of a standard dose (40 mg/kg) of praziquantel (PZQ) treatment at baseline, ...
