Although telocytes were previously thought to be localized predominantly in the organs of the digestive system, as of 2018 they have also been described in the lymphoid tissue, skin, respiratory system, urinary system, meninges and the organs of the male and female genital tracts. Since the time of eminent German pathologist Rudolf Virchow, we have known that many pathological processes originate directly from cellular changes. Even though telocytes are not widely accepted by all scientists as an individual and morphologically and functionally distinct cell population, several articles regarding telocytes have already been published in such prestigious journals as Nature and Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences.

  • The Female Reproductive System – How Does It Work?
    Grade Seven: Sexual Development (Handout-How Does It Work-Female) The Female Reproductive System – How Does It Work? On your diagram of the female anatomy, label and colour the internal and external organs according to the instructions below. Vocabulary words that need to be written on the diagram have been italicized. Start at the very bottom of your diagram. The opening leading up into the internal reproductive system is called the vagina. he vagina is a soft, muscular elastic tube. Its inner lining is soft and moist. During sexual arousal, the walls of the vagina secrete a lubricant to assist in intercourse. The vagina also functions as the birth canal for a baby, and allows menstrual flow to exit the body from the uterus. Colour the vagina dark blue. The uterus is a pear shaped organ about the size of a woman’s fist that stretches to house the baby, placenta and amniotic fluid during pregnancy. It is very strong, muscular and stretchable! Colour the uterus pink. At the top of the vagina is the cervix which is the bottom of the uterus. This is slightly open in women who are not pregnant, but is plugged during pregnancy to avoid infection. When a baby is ready to be born, the cervix opens to a diameter of 10 cm. Colour the cervix purple. The thick tissue inside the entire uterus is the uterine lining. If fertilization does not occur, this lining is shed every month. This is called menstruation, the process by which the uterus rids itself of its old lining, and prepares for the possibility of conception the following month.

Prevention of long-term sequelae of infection, including tubal factor infertility, is a primary goal of chlamydia screening and treatment activities. However, the population attributable fraction of tubal factor infertility associated with chlamydia is unclear, and optimal measures for assessing tubal factor infertility and prior chlamydia in epidemiologic studies have not been established. Black women have increased rates of chlamydia and tubal factor infertility compared Corresponding author: Rachel J.

  • 2015 AACA Annual Meeting Program
    June 9 – 12, 2015 | Henderson, Nevada President’s Report June 9-12, 2015 Green Valley Ranch Resort & Casino Henderson, NV Another year has quickly passed and I have been asked to summarize achievements/threats to the Association for our meeting program booklet. Much of this will be recanted in my introductory message on the opening day of the meeting in Henderson. As President, I am representing Council in recognizing the work of those individuals not already recognized in our standing committee reports that you will find in this program. One of our most active ad hoc committees has been the one looking into creating an endowment for the association through member and vendor sponsorships. Our past president, Anne Agur, has chaired this committee and deserves accolades for having the committee work hard and produce the materials you have either already seen, or will be introduced to in Henderson. The format was based on that used by many clinical organizations. It allows support at many different levels, the financial income from which is being invested for student awards and travel stipends. Our ambitious 5 year goal is $100,000. I hope that you will join me in thinking seriously about supporting this initiative - at whichever level you feel comfortable with. Every dollar goes to the endowment. In October, Council ratified the creation of our new standing committee - Brand Promotion and Outreach. This committee was formed by fusing the two ad hoc committees struck by Anne Agur when she was President. Last year our new branding was highly visible in Orlando and we want to use this momentum to continue raising the profile of the Association at many different types of events within and outside North America.

  • Infertility: an Overview
    AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE Infertility: An Overview A Guide for Patients PATIENT INFORMATION SERIES Published by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine under the direction of the Patient Education Committee and the Publications Committee. No portion herein may be reproduced in any form without written permission. This booklet is in no way intended to replace, dictate, or fully define evaluation and treatment by a qualified physician. It is intended solely as an aid for patients seeking general information on issues in reproductive medicine. Copyright © 2017 by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR REPRODUCTIVE MEDICINE Infertility: An Overview A Guide for Patients, Revised 2017 A glossary of italicized words is located at the end of this booklet. INTRODUCTION Infertility is typically defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of unprotected intercourse. If you have been trying to conceive for a year or more, you should consider an infertility evaluation. However, if you are 35 years or older, you should consider beginning the infertility evaluation after about six months of unprotected intercourse rather than a year, so as not to delay potentially needed treatment. If you have a reason to suspect an underlying problem, you should seek care earlier. For instance, if you have very irregular menstrual cycles (suggesting that you are not ovulating or releasing an egg), or if you or your partner has a known fertility problem, you probably should not wait an entire year before seeking treatment. If you and your partner have been unable to have a baby, you’re not alone.
