Introduction: Male infertility may account for almost half of all cases of infertility. This is commonly linked to compromised sperm characteristics, such as shape, concentration, and motility. Recent studies have suggested a role for calcium-binding proteins, including Calbindin 2 (CALB2), in spermatogenesis and male reproductive function. Aim: The purpose of this study was to assess the association between male infertility in cases of oligozoospermia and asthenoteratozoospermia and seminal Calbindin 2 levels. Patients and Methods: A case-control study was performed on 90 men (45 infertile, 45 fertile controls). Semen parameters, oxidative stress, hormone levels, DNA fragmentation, acrosin activity, and seminal CALB2 …

Background: Cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) encompasses a range of abnormal changes within the cervical squamous epithelium and is regarded as a precursor to invasive squamous cell carcinoma of cervix. Management of CIN-1 generally involves follow-up with repeat testing after one year, while CIN-2 and higher lesions require treatment aimed at complete removal of the lesion and transformation zone using ablative or excisional methods such as Loop electrosurgical excision (LEEP), or cold-knife cone biopsy. This study aimed to test applying a new modification on LEEP to facilitate its use in the management of cervical lesions in the low resource conditions regarding …
