Image
Global Journal of Reproductive Medicine    Juniper Publishers authored by:  Camara Mk* Introduction Adenomyosis occupies an important place in uterine pathology. It continues to raise many questions concerning its pathogenesis, but also its diagnosis and its methods oftherapeutic management [ 1 ]. The thickened myometrium deviates unevenly and the uterus loses its former elasticity. A problem can occur at the beginning of pregnancy or conception in women and in the evolution of pregnancy. The discovery of a uterine adenomyoma during the confirmation of an involuntary pregnancy, motivated the pictorial description of 2 clinical cases with a review of the literature on the reciprocal influence of this association. Observation 1 Mrs. CS, 30 years old, hairdresser, having in her history, 2 gestures, 1 parity with a 3-year-old living child and secondary dysmenorrhea, consults for an Ultrasonographic confirmation for the suspicion of fetal death with unspe...

Phytoestrogens: A Possible Agent for Controlling Fertility

Global Journal of Reproductive Medicine    Juniper Publishers Authored by:  Debjani Nath* Introduction Phytoestrogens are naturally occurring polyphenolic compounds. They are ubiquitous in human and animal diet. Around 300 plants from more than 16 different plant families have been identified with such a kind of compounds [ 1 , 2 ]. They are structurally and/or functionally bear a close similarity to mammalian estrogens and their active metabolites. Though they are much less potent but their mode of action is similar to 17p-stradiol. The estrogenic compounds are widespread in food. They are found in herbs and seasonings (garlic, parsley), grains (soybeans, wheat, rice), vegetables (beans, carrots, potatoes), fruits (date, pomegranates, cherries, apples), and drinks (coffee) [ 3 ]. So only a totally plant-free diet would prevent exposure to them. We, the human beings as well as animals regularly expose to variable amounts of phytoestrogens mainly through diet...

Ending AIDS - A Generational and Program Informed Approach

Global Journal of Reproductive Medicine    Juniper Publishers Authored by:  Wole Ameyan* Opinion Since the discovery of HIV, many initiatives and processes have gone into mitigating the effects of the disease on communities and populations to great success. Indeed, the status of the HIV epidemic today is a strong testament to what the human race can achieve so long as we put our minds to it, work hard and collaborate. From being a dreaded disease, leaving no hope to those who contract it, HIV has now become only a chronic condition, very manageable with potent treatments with people living with HIV able to live long, healthy, fulfilling and productive lives. However, there still remain huge challenges to finally solving what is still largely ravaging many communities. A key challenge for country HIV programs is that of strategic planning, implementation and follow up. Inadequate technical support, poor research and data management capacity, limited organizat...

Maternal Nutrition and Cognitive Health Opinion

Global Journal of Reproductive Medicine    Juniper Publishers Authored by:  Lynn Cornish M* Opinion The human brain is a precious and complex organ, responsible for all the qualities and functional characteristics that define humanity. It increases in size from 350-400g in infants to 1.31.4 kg in adults, and it is composed of ca. 78% water, 12% lipid, 8% protein, and 1% carbohydrate. It is not the size of the human brain that clearly differentiates Homo sapiens from our closest living relatives, the chimpanzees, but it is its well documented structural and organizational sophistication. Considering the very earliest development of the human brain, at a time approximately 5-7 million years ago when it is theorized that H. sapiens diverged from the non-human primates, nutritional factors must have played a fundamental role. Food, after all, is defined as a substance consisting of protein, carbohydrates, and fats, used in the body of an organism to sustain grow...
