  GLOBAL JOURNAL OF REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE -JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour is an exceptionally discerned, ovarian neoplasm composed of sex cord or Sertoli cells admixed with stromal component expounded by Leydig cells. Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour may occur in association with DICER1 syndrome or emerge as a sporadic phenomenon. Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour manifests as well differentiated, moderately differentiated or intermediate grade and poorly differentiated neoplasms. Additionally, categories such as Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour with heterologous elements or retiform variant of Sertoli-Leydig cell tumour may be expounded. Majority of paediatric Sertoli- Leydig cell tumours are moderately differentiated or poorly differentiated, concur with DICER1 syndrome and frequently display heterologous elements or retiform tumour configuration. Histological categorization of neoplasms with enhanced tumour grade appears challenging [1,2]. Well differentiated tumefaction exhibits di...

  GLOBAL JOURNAL OF REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE- JUNIPER PUBLISHERS Abstract This article presents a case report of a primary infertility patient diagnosed with Premature Ovarian Insufficiency (POI), who failed three attempts of IVF and two IUI treatments. After which acupuncture was used as a treatment and produced a successful IVF. The patient, a 36-year-old woman, presented at our clinic with high FSH 35, low AMH <0.1, AFC 4, and primary infertility for more than 1.5 years. She wanted to improve her ovarian reserve, egg quality, and her chances of successful IVF. The patient received 27 acupuncture treatments over the course of 8 months, which resulted in pregnancy. This case suggests that acupuncture is an effective treatment for IVF patients with POI.

  Abstract Background:  Most of the students in higher education institutions are young, aged 19-24, who are often sexually active, and among the most vulnerable and at risk of HIV infection and other sexual and reproductive health problems. Taking this in to account HIV/AIDS and SRH intervention has been taking place in Ambo University. With the expectation that it will help the program manager to improve the intervention, this study was aimed to monitor the intervention of HIV/AIDS and SRH program in the University. Methods:  A qualitative study using in-depth interview and document review were used to collect primary and secondary data, respectively. A total of 13 study participants constituting the university's HIV/AIDS prevention and control office focal person, campus clinic officer, guidance and counseling officer and 10 students from different departments were purposely selected for the in-depth interview. The interviews were audio-taped digitally, transcribed ver...

Global Journal of Reproductive Medicine    Juniper Publishers Authored by: Mitiku Getachew Kumara* Background Introduction Obstetric needs are health problems that necessitate EmOC services or interventions. The sum of incidence of pathologies (obstetric emergencies and complications) is taken as an indicator of obstetric need. During the 1990s the international community has made a major effort to better document the magnitude of maternal health problems, and particularly maternal mortality. To measure the extent of this staggering human tragedy, and the failure of many health systems to meet the most basic needs for health care of the women in their constituencies, widespread use was made of maternal mortality ratios (MMR). Although this was pivotal in mobilizing policy makers it was clearly not enough to understand what works, what works not and what should be done. The ‘First Safe Motherhood Decade’ also saw a number of initiatives that tried to go beyond do...

Global Journal of Reproductive Medicine    Juniper Publishers Authored by:  Zekarias Mengistu* Introduction The total cattle population for the rural sedentary areas of Ethiopia is estimated to be 43.12million, of which 55.41% are females. Out of the total female cattle population, only 151,344 (0.35%) and 19,263 (0.04%) heads are hybrid and exotic breeds, respectively. With an average lactation length of 6 months and an average daily milk production of 1.44 liters per cow, the total milk produced during the year 2006/07 was recorded to be 2.634 billion liters. This suggests that the total number of both exotic and hybrid female cattle produced through the crossbreeding work for many decades in the country is quite insignificant indicating unsuccessful crossbreeding work. This again suggests that Ethiopia needs to work hard on improving the work of productive and reproductive performance improvements of cattle through appropriate breeding and related activiti...
