The unique genus Biromiris Schuh is recognized from the Oriental region for the first time, with the description of a new species, Biromiris tomokuniisp. n., from the Philippines. The new species is documented with photographic images of the dorsal habitus and male genital structures. A key to all known species of Biromiris is provided.

The rapidly evolving and often extraordinarily complex appearance of male genital morphology of internally fertilizing animals has been recognized for centuries. Postcopulatory sexual selection is regarded as the likely evolutionary engine of this diversity, but direct support for this hypothesis is limited. We used two complementary approaches, evolution through artificial selection and micros...

background: genital tuberculosis is a chorionic disease and mostly occurs by haematogenous spread from extra genital source like lungs, peritoneum, lymph nodes and bones. transmission through a sexual intercourse is also possible. since the majority of patients are in reproductive ages, involvement of fallopian tubes and endometrium cause infertility in patients. cases: reviewing 4 cases of fem...

The male genital examination is a simple and quick clinical assessment and is important for screening and diagnostic purposes beyond the need to screen for testicular cancer. Despite the lack of evidence supporting screening for testicular cancer, the genital examination should be included as part of a male's routine physical examination, as well as when a male patient presents with genital com...

Rapid and divergent evolution of male genital morphology is a conspicuous and general pattern across internally fertilizing animals. Rapid genital evolution is thought to be the result of sexual selection, and the role of natural selection in genital evolution remains controversial. However, natural and sexual selection are believed to act antagonistically on male genital form. We conducted an ...

The purpose of our publication is to widely communicate pictures of spontaneous findings occurring in cynomolgus monkeys. Focal lymphoplasmacytic infiltration is commonly seen in the general organs. The frequency and severity of these lesions may be influenced by the administration of drugs with an effect on the immune system. Lymphoplasmacytic infiltration in the lamina propria of the stomach ...

Four hundred and sixty-seven male patients with leprosy were screened for genital involvement. Genital lesions were observed in 6.6% of all male cases of leprosy. They were seen most frequently in lepromatous leprosy (25.8%), followed by borderline lepromatous (13.3%) and borderline tuberculoid (1.4%) leprosy.

OBJECTIVE To study the relations between maternal occupational exposure to solvents during pregnancy and the risk of congenital malformations. METHODS A prospective population-based cohort, specifically designed to study the impact of maternal exposure to solvents on the risk of congenital malformations, began in 2002 in three districts of Brittany (France). 3421 pregnant women were recruited...

Background Infertility, typically defined as the inability of couples to become pregnant after 12 months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. Female infertility accounts for 45% of all infertilities among couples. In Iranian Traditional Medicine (ITM) there are variable recommendation for the prevention and treatment of female infertility and one of the most important is nutrition. The pu...

There are several mechanisms acting in synergism that can impair sperm characteristics of patients with accessory gland infection. In some cases, conventional sperm variables are disturbed with oligo and/or asthenozoospermia. In other patients, these sperm variables may appear normal, but the functional capacity of spermatozoa may be impaired. In particular, changes in the composition of the sp...
