Herpetic infection of spermatozoa in failure of reproductive technologies and spontaneous abortion
The following conclusions can be made: mobile spermatozoa of normal
morphology can be infected with HSV; as shown morphologically, samples
of ejaculate from men whose wives had spontaneous abortions contained
intragametic HSV capsides; intragametic HSV infection of spermatozoa
had a negative effect on the course of pregnancy and/or embryon
vitality.
Infection of cytomegalovirus and herpes simplex virus and morphology of the infected spermatogenic cells in infertile men
CONCLUSION: Spermatogenic cells infected by HCMV and HSV-II may cause
pathologic lesions and affect spermatogenesis. Morphologically, the
infected spermatogenic cells may undergo some pathologic alteration,
such as apoptosis. The rate of HCMV infection is higher among infertile
males with pathologic cells in the semen.
Prevalence of human herpes virus in the semen of men attending an infertility clinic and correlation with semen parameters
CONCLUSION(S): The DNA of herpes viruses is frequently detected in the
semen of asymptomatic fertile and infertile male patients. Further
studies are required to investigate the role of herpes viruses in male
factor infertility.
Altered immunophenotypic parameters in infertile women. Possible role of herpes viremia.
CONCLUSIONS: Assuming that all women under study remained asymptomatic,
these data suggest that subclinical herpesvirus viremia may be an
important cause of peripheral immunostimulation in women with a history
of infertility
Pregnancy with live birth after 3 miscarriages, using Acne as a guiding diagnosis for treatment
Overview- Between the years of 2005and 2007, patient became pregnant three times, but unfortunatelymiscarried each one by the eighth week. This woman was hopeful that anew perspective and outlook would be offered to her that would helpexplain her recurrent miscarriages.
Skin diseases in alcoholics
The most common skin manifestations of alcoholism presented in this
review article are urticarial reactions, porphyria cutanea tarda,
flushing, cutaneous stigmata of cirrhosis, psoriasis, pruritus,
seborrheic dermatitis, and rosacea
Alcohol and smoking: risk factors for infectious eczematoid dermatitis
We conclude that alcohol intake and smoking appear to be risk factors for infectious eczematoid dermatitis among males.
Relationship between smoking and the clinical severity of psoriasis.
CONCLUSION: Smoking is associated with the clinical severity of
psoriasis and highlights the importance of smoking cessation in
patients with psoriasis.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the association between different components of
smoking history and the clinical severity of psoriasis. DESIGN: A
hospital-based cross-sectional study.
Alcohol as a risk factor for plaque-type psoriasis.
We recommend that clinicians discourage patients with psoriasis from
consuming alcohol, especially during periods of disease exacerbation.
Stress impairs the immune response to mucosal herpes simplex (HSV-1) infection.
We conclude that the increased viral titers observed in
mice experiencing psychological stress are the consequence of a
glucocorticoid-mediated reduction in the numbers of lymphocytes
responsible for resolving the initial infection.
