Background: Various semen parameters including morphology, vitality, motility, maturation, pH, count, agglutination and biochemical parameters altogether determine the overall quality of semen. Common factors associated with oligospermia are diseases (genetic, infectious, hormonal and obstructive), smoking, environmental factors such as radiation, heavy metal poisoning, overheating of testicles. Objective: Semen analysis in infertile males of various age group with possible correlation of parameters in relation to oligospermia. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional descriptive observational study included 150 semen sample received from various infertility clinics, obstetric gynaecology clinics, In vitro fertilization centers, and from individuals with infertility problems. The study was conducted from July2021-February2022. Parameters studied included volume, liquefaction time, pH, count, motility, morphology, immature forms, agglutination, leucocytes, and fructose. Results: Out of 150 cases, majority belonged to the age group of 31-40years, mean age was 33.14 years. Seventy-three cases (48.7%) were normal, six (4%) showed azoospermia, 71 (47.3%) showed oligospermia. Parameters correlated positively with oligospermia are age (0.008 Pearson correlation, 0.946 p value, not significant), pH (0.194 Pearson correlation, 0.106 p value, not significant), liquefaction time (0.106 Pearson correlation, 0.378 p value, not significant). Parameters correlated negatively with oligospermia are volume (-0.58 Pearson correlation, 0.633 p value, not significant) and motility (-2.77 Pearson correlation, 0.19 p value, significant) Conclusion: The study showed a positive correlation of oligospermia with age, pH, liquefaction time and negative correlation with volume and motility. The study also showed a significant association between oligospermia and motility, morphology, agglutination and fructose.

Consumers of illicit toxicants combine toxicants in order to potentiate and prolong the duration of the effects. This results in an increase in acute or chronic toxicity, in particular cardiac toxicity, associating a variety of arrhythmias ranging from benign sinus tachycardia to the most complex ventricular arrhythmias. Heart risks are higher when people are young. We report the case of a 48 year old male chronic user of illicit substances, including cocaine, cannabis, amphetamines as well as alcohol; and who presents a wide variety of ventricular arrhythmia and conduction disorders associated with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We describe through a review of the literature the physiopathological mechanisms involved in the genesis of rhythmic disorders and myocardial damage secondary to toxicity; before considering the management challenge of arrhythmias induced by multiple drug addiction

Naturopathy is a relatively new medical approach which combines different traditional remedies and health care practices. Tinctures, compresses, teas and other medicinal forms are used. The main sources are herbs and plants. However, their inept application often leads to unwanted side effects such as bleeding, gastrointestinal disturbances, allergic reactions, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, dry mouth, photosensitivity, hypertension, rash and a lot of others. Among the most frequently used naturopathic remedies is garlic. In parallel with its many good effects, allergic reactions and skin burns are not infrequently described. In this report, we present a case of second-degree skin burn on the dorsal lower leg caused by the use of crushed garlic over a short period of time.

This retrospective cross-sectional study investigated the relationship between probiotic use and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) prevention in premature newborns at the Neonatal Units of Epic Latino between 2015 and 2020. The study included 8,632 premature newborns, 309 of whom developed enterocolitis. Results showed that gestational age was the primary risk factor for NEC development, with incidence inversely proportional to gestational age. Probiotic administration was not found to be a significant protective factor against NEC. The study suggests that further research on probiotic type, dosage, and administration is required to determine their effectiveness in preventing NEC in premature infants

The research entitled THE INFLUENCE OF THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION TO THE LEVEL OF PATIENTS’ ANXIETY IN RST Dr. SOEDJONO MAGELANG ICU was conducted on May 1 st, 2007 until June 30th, 2007. Anxiety is a feeling of worry that is expressed in order to face threat from outside whether they are real or unreal. A way to overcome the anxiety is giving the therapeutic communication. The research goal is to find out how the influence of therapeutic communication of client treated in ICU and to find out the illustration of anxiety level before and after treatment by therapeutic communication. This research is stake to be an experiment research, one group pre-test – post-test research. The subjects are 30 clients treated in ICU. The anxiety level is measured by the research instrument named Rating Scale for Anxiety (HRS-A). The statistical analysis test is carried out by using t-test in pre-test and post-test design. The result is t=19,746 > t table (d.f=29 t table=2,045) and the level of significance is 1%. The conclusion of the research is therapeutic communication has an influence to reduce patients’ anxiety level in ICU.
