A contraceptive computer chip that can be controlled by remote control has been developed in Massachusetts.

The chip is implanted under a woman's skin, releasing a small dose of levonorgestrel, a hormone.

This will happen every day for 16 years, but can be stopped at any time by using a wireless remote control.

The project has been backed by Bill Gates, and will be submitted for pre-clinical testing in the US next year - and possibly go on sale by 2018.

The device measures 20mm x 20mm x 7mm and will be "competitively priced", its creators said.

Convenience factor
Tiny reservoirs of the hormone are stored on a 1.5cm-wide microchip within the device.

A small electric charge melts an ultra-thin seal around the levonorgestrel, releasing the 30 microgram dose into the body.

There are other types of contraceptive implant available, the researchers noted, but all require a trip to a clinic and an outpatient procedure in order to be deactivated.

Someone across the room cannot re-programme your implant”

Dr Robert Farra
"The ability to turn the device on and off provides a certain convenience factor for those who are planning their family," said Dr Robert Farra from MIT.

The next challenge for the team is to ensure the absolute security of the device to prevent activation or deactivation by another person without the woman's knowledge.

"Communication with the implant has to occur at skin contact level distance," said Dr Farra.

"Someone across the room cannot re-programme your implant.

"Then we have secure encryption. That prevents someone from trying to interpret or intervene between the communications."

Huge range
The same technology could be used to administer other drugs.

Simon Karger, head of the surgical and interventional business at Cambridge Consultants, said that implanted technology like this faces a range of challenges and risks.

But he added that overall "the value to the patient of these types of implant can be huge and we foresee a future in which a huge range of conditions are treated through smart implanted systems". — with Dewat Ram Nakipuria and 19 others. (4 photos)

India’s declining fertility rate (at 2.59), now only slightly higher than that of the United States (2.1), is part of a global trend of lower population growth.A drop in fertility rate is due to both medical factor and external factors —like late marriages, more career orientation or reluctance to have children in general.Rapid lifestyle changes are also impacting fertility in urban areas of India today.

Normal Delivery at 45 years
Normal Delivery at 45 years of age.....!!!!

- Dr. (Mrs.) Madhuri M. Prabhudesai
B.A.M.S.
Mobile - 9423884321

Surprised by the heading? In present days of commercialisation this seems to be very rare. But during last 30 yrs. of my medical profession I have handled so many cases of pregnant women and have treated them successfully with only Ayurvedic Garbhini-Paricharya i. e. with basti, Siddha-taila pichu-dharan and Snehan with various oils at the time of actual delivery. About 90% of the pregnant ladies have delivered normally with this simple Ayurvedic method. Here is one such case --
Date - 01 / 05 / 2000
Name - ABC
Age - 45 years
C / O - Amenorrhoea for about three months, came to confirm menopause as per her age.
L. M. P. - 07 / 02 / 2000
F.T.N.D. - one male child, 18 yrs. old. Then no issue. (Secondary Sterility)
O. E. - P/A and P/V revealed bulky & pregnant uterus of the same, three months duration.
She was quite sure that she had undergone menopause and so, she consulted about three gynaecologists. When everybody told the 'same', she again came to me. By that time she was advised by every medical / non-medical person that 'it is very risky to carry with this pregnancy, it is at the cost of her life, you will have to undergo caesarean operation which is also risky at this age, the child may be abnormal, when you have first son of 18 yrs. old what the public may comment?, so the best thing is you go for abortion', & so on. But her astrologist, with whom she had a great faith, told her that 'this child is very lucky & after its birth you will prosper like anything.' So, she came to me to inquire whether Ayurveda may help her to deliver with minimum risk.
History of this pt. - Actually, this pt. was not in contact with the pregnant ladies taking our treatment for normal / easy delivery. Even then she came to us, for some another reason. She had chronic cough for which she was under treatment of a chest-physician in Ratnagiri. Her X-Ray revealed opacity at the base of her rt. lung & as usual she was diagnosed and was under treatment for Koch's. In spite of the treatment for about two years, she had no relief. She had recurrent attacks of cough & fever and day by day she lost her weight (38 Kgs). So, she was brought to Dr. M. P. Prabhudesai, in the month of May 1993. With Ayurvedic treatment with necessary pathya, the opacity in her rt. lung almost disappeared, she was relieved of cough & fever and she had wt.-gain up to 46 Kgs., within a year. Then afterwards she had a rickshaw-accident. She was injured badly with pain at her neck & spine. She was hospitalised for many days and because of the heavy antibiotics again she developed anorexia and subsequent weight-loss. After taking many types of tonics she could not gain her wt. Then she came to us again and after proper Ayurvedic treatment with deepan-pachan along with brumhan-basti, she had proper wt.-gain once again. So, she had a faith in us because of which she came to me for the treatment to continue her pregnancy.
Line of treatment - As the patient was firm to carry on with the pregnancy, we assured her with Ashwasan-Chikitsa and suggested the following line of treatment -----
1. Regular check up with Urine-examination, CBC and routine USG.
2. A course of 3 matra basti & one niruha basti after eighth month of pregnancy till onset of labour (day 1- matra, day 2 - niruha & one matra & day 3 - matra)
3. Regular Pichu-Dharan in vagina with siddha Taila - We almost invariably suggest this for every pregnant woman, but being an elderly pregnancy, this was essential for this pt., to increase and maintain the elasticity of vaginal & perineal musculature.
4. Masanumasika quathas
5. Routine regular instructions for a Garbhini.
We advised the pt. to get routine check-up done from Gynaecologist to confirm regular and proper growth of the foetus; in this way we could convince the pt. and its relatives, about the proper Ayurvedic line of treatment.
Pt. delivered normally - As post-natal care of the pt. was easier in Ratnagiri, she registered herself in a famous maternity hospital in Ratnagiri in November 2000. Her USG was done on admission and the gynaecologist first called her surgeon-husband and then both of them called a senior gynaecologist to observe the readings of the USG. The pt. being 'heena-satwa' was frightened by the scene and thought of some major problem. But the senior gynaecologist agreed that she had never seen such 'clear intestines without gases &/or faeces' during her practice for last 40 years. She enquired about the treatment and assured the pt. that she is going to deliver normally, without any surgical intervention. The pt. immediately contacted me on phone & told me about this episode, even before contacting her own relatives. Next day the pt. delivered normally with a baby weighing about 71/2 pounds.
In this way, with the help of proper guidelines laid down by Ayurveda, we were able to create proper elasticity in the perineal musculature due to the basties, pichu-dharan & quathas and the pt. could deliver normally in older age, even.
During our practice we do take help of all kinds of diagnostic aids, to convince the pt. & its relatives. But we always try to remain with Ayurvedic Principles in our diagnosis & treatment and of course, we are almost always blessed by the expected results.
So, Vagbhatacharya has clearly mentioned that -----

Parents experience a change in sexuality following the birth of a child, with low sexual desire linked to factors related to the care of the baby like stress and fatigue, suggests new research in the US.

The retrospective online survey, involving 114 partners of postpartum women (95 men, 18 women, 1 unspecified), questioned new parents about their sexuality in the 3 months following the birth of their youngest child to determine changes in physical, social, psychological and relational experiences.

The results showed that in the first 3 months following birth, 81.7 percent of partners reported reengagement of sexual intercourse with the birth mother, 69.6 percent reported participating in oral sex and 72.7 percent reported masturbating. Masturbation occurred earlier in the postpartum period than did intercourse (p<0.001), oral sex on the mother’s partner (p<0.048) or oral sex on the birth mother (p<0.001). There were no significant differences in the time it took to reengage in intercourse and oral sex on either parent. The mother’s partner enjoyed reported higher enjoyment with oral sex than intercourse or masturbation (all p<0.030), but there was no significant differences in enjoyment between intercourse and masturbation (p=0.902). Both groups participated equally in initiation of postpartum intercourse (p=0.359).

Participants ranked factors related to sexual and intimate feeling in participants and their partners as most frequently contributing to high desire and fatigue and stress as the top influences for low desire. Time constraints was selected as the third most common factor contributing to low postpartum sexuality. There were no significant differences between the genders in self-reported perceived stress, body image self-consciousness or average level of fatigue (all p>0.40). However, women partners of new mothers perceived more support from their significant others and friends and had significantly higher overall social support scores than their male counterparts (all p<0.035).

“Results from this study and previous research suggest that postpartum sexuality can be conceptualized as an individualized experience within a partnership, as well as one that occurs in a larger social and relational context,” said study author Dr. Sari M. van Anders of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, US, and colleagues.

In a brief conversation, a man asked a woman he was pursuing the question: “What kind of man are you looking for?”
She sat quietly for a moment before looking him in the eye & asking, ‘Do you really want to know?’ Reluctantly, he said,”Yes.”
She began to expound…
“As a woman in this day & age, I am in a position to ask a man what can you do for me that I can’t do for myself? I pay my own bills. I take care of my household without the help of any man…or woman for that matter. I am in the position to ask, ‘What can you bring to the table?’”
The man looked at her. Clearly he thought that she was referring to money.
She quickly corrected his thought & stated, “I am not referring to money. I need something more. I need a man who is striving for excellence in every aspect of life.” He sat back in his chair, folded his arms, & asked her to explain.
She said, “I need someone who is striving for excellence mentally because I need conversation & mental stimulation. I don’t need a simple-minded man.
I need someone who is striving for excellence spiritually because I don’t need to be unequally yoked…believers mixed with unbelievers is a recipe for disaster.
I need a man who is striving for excellence financially because I don’t need a financial burden.
I need someone who is sensitive enough to understand what I go through as a woman, but strong enough to keep me grounded.
I need someone who has integrity in dealing with relationships. Lies and game-playing are not my idea of a strong man.
I need a man who is family-oriented. One who can be the leader and provider to the lives entrusted to him by God.
I need someone whom I can respect. In order to be submissive, I must respect him.
I cannot be submissive to a man who isn’t taking care of his business. I have no problem being submissive…he just has to be worthy.
And by the way, I am not looking for him…He will find me. He will recognize himself in me. Hey may not be able to explain the connection, but he will always be drawn to me. God made woman to be a help-mate for man. I can’t help a man if he can’t help himself.”
When she finished her spill, she looked at him.
He sat there with a puzzled look on his face. He said,”You are asking a lot.”
She replied, “I’m worth a lot”.

HIV /AIDS DRUG LOPINAVIR KILLING HUMAN PAPILLOMA VIRUS -RESPONSIBLE FOR CERVICAL CANCERS IN WOMAN OF AFRICA AND DEVELOPING COUNTRY

A commonly-used HIV drug has been shown to kill-off the human papilloma virus (HPV) that leads to cervical cancer in a clinical trial led by The University of Manchester with Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) in Nairobi.Drs Ian and Lynne Hampson, from the University’s Institute of Cancer Sciences and Dr Innocent Orora Maranga, consultant in obstetrics and gynaecology at KNH in Nairobi examined Kenyan women diagnosed with HPV positive early stage cervical cancer who were treated with the antiviral HIV drug lopinavir in Kenya.

The study looked at 40 women with both high and low-grade pre-cancerous disease of the cervix and the antiviral drug, normally used orally to treat HIV, was self-applied directly to the cervix as a pessary.The results, due to be presented at two international scientific conferences later this month and next, showed a high proportion of women diagnosed with HPV positive high-grade disease returned to normal following a short course of the new treatment.

The 40 women, who were all HPV positive with either high-grade, borderline or low-grade disease, were treated with one capsule of the antiviral drug twice a day for 2 weeks. Repeat cervical smears showed a marked improvement within one month of the treatment although after three months, there was a definite response. Out of 23 women initially diagnosed with high-grade disease, 19 (82.6%) had returned to normal and two now had low-grade disease giving an overall positive response in 91.2 per cent of those treated. Furthermore the 17 women initially diagnosed with borderline or low-grade disease also showed similar improvement.
Cervical cancer is caused by infection with human papilloma virus (HPV) and is more than five times more prevalent in East Africa than the UK. In many developing countries, HPV-related cervical cancer is still one of the most common women’s cancers accounting for approximately 290,000 deaths per year worldwide. The same virus also causes a significant proportion of cancers of the mouth and throat in both men and women and this disease is showing a large increase in developed countries, such as the UK, where it is now more than twice as common as cervical cancer.

Dr Lynne Hampson said: “Current HPV Vaccines are prophylactics aimed at preventing the disease rather than curing or treating symptoms. Other than surgery, as yet there is no effective treatment for either HPV infection or the pre-cancerous lesion it causes which is why these results are so exciting.“Further work is needed but it looks as though this might be a potential treatment to stop early stage cervical cancer caused by HPV.”

On a global scale HPV is the most common sexually transmitted disease. Although in the developed world vaccination programmes against HPV are well underway, these are not effective in women already infected with the virus. The current vaccines do not protect against all types of HPV and they are expensive, which can limit their use in countries with low resources.

The researchers believe their findings offer a potential cheap and preferably self-administered treatment that could eliminate early-stage HPV infections before these have developed into cancers would therefore have distinct health advantages. Approximately 300,000 women are dying from cervical cancer per annum which is equivalent to 800 per day, one every two minutes mostly in low resource settings.

HIV /AIDS MANY COUPLES ASK ME QUESTION WHETHER THEY CAN PALN FOR PREGNANCY AND IF PREGNANCY TAKEN THEN THEIR CHANCE OF GETTING NEGATIVE BABY AS NO ONE WANTS THEIR CHILD IS POSITIVE.
MODERN ARV MEDICINES ARE LESS TOXIC AND IT IS RULE THT ONCE A MOTHER EITHER DETECTED DURING PREGNANCY OR LABOR HIV ARV SHOULD BE STARTED ONCE SHE IS POSITIVE IF HER VIRRAL LOAD IS HIGH OR CD4 COUNT IS LOW AND HER PARTNER IS ALSO HIV POSITIVE HER CHANCE OF GETTING POSITIVE CHILD IS VERY HIGH.
BUT IF HER VIRAL LOAD IS LOW BELOW 50-100 OR EVEN 1000 COPIES /ML OF BLOOD AND CD4 COUNT ABOVE 500 THEN CHANCE OF GETTING BABY NEGATIVE IS VERY HIFH AND SHE SHOULD BE STRICTLY ON MULTIPLE DRUG HAART OR ARV MEDICINES AS ARV ONCE STOPPED VIRAL LOAD RAISES VERY HIGH IN NO TIME
BUT IT IS NOT 100% TRUE ALSO EVEN AT ANY CD4 COUNT LEVEL OR ANY VIRAL LOAD SHE MAY GIVE BIRTH TO POSITIVE BABY BUT PERCENTAGE WISE SUCH CASES ARE MINIMAL.
SO IF PLANNING FOR PREGNANCY IF BOTH HUSBAND WIFE POSITIVE THEN BOTH SHOULD TAKE ARV MAKE VIRAL LOAD VERY LOW OR ONE POSITIVE IF FEMALE THEN SHE HAS TO MAKE VIRAL LOAD MINIMAL OR VICE VERSA AND SUCH COUPLES ALLOWED SEX USUALLY WITH CONDOM HOW MUCH LESS MAY BE VIRAL LOAD BUT ONCE -OR TWICE SEX ALLOWED WITHOUT CONDOM TO HAVE PREGNANCY BUT AFTER CONCEPTION AGAIN CONDOM HAS TO BE USED.
EVEN AFTER BIRTH IF CHILD NEGATIVE AS DETECTED BY -24 ANTIGEN OR PCR VIRAL LOAD THEN CHILD MAY BE ON PROPHYLACTIC ARV MEDICINES OR AVOID BREAST MIL OR DRINK BOILED MILK FROM MOTHER AS BREAST MILK CAN SPREAD HIV SAME WAY OTHER CONTACTS WHERE CHILD BLOOD MIXED WITH MOTHER BLOOD SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
SO NOW HIV PERSONS CAN PLAN PREGNANCY EASILY AND HAVE A NEGATIVE CHILDREN WITH REGULAR MEDICINES AND LOW VIRAL LOAD

Improve your fertility by simple lifestyle modifications.
You’re more likely to get pregnant if you and your partner are both in good health. Making some changes to your lifestyle may improve your chances of getting pregnant and having a healthy pregnancy. Medical conditions such as diabetes, asthma, obesity and other problems can affect your pregnancy. Lifestyle modification to tackle obesity, tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption, have been proposed as crucial in influencing the outcome of both natural and assisted conceptions.

About 84% of couples in the general population will conceive within one year if they do not use contraception and have sex regularly. Of those who don’t conceive in the first year, about half will do so in the second year. For some couples, getting pregnant happens easily. For others it can take time and may even require medical help. If you've been trying to get pregnant for a while and are starting to worry that nothing has happened, don't panic. One in six couples experiences fertility problems so yours is a very common problem.

Following are the points to be kept in mind while you are trying to conceive and should implement as lifetime changes.

1.) It takes two to make a baby, so be honest with your partner about your frustrations and anxiety, and work together. Get it out in the open, get on the same page. Find a way to de-stress (preferably together). Exercise, yoga, acupuncture and counseling all help decrease the stress hormones. Take care of your body, no radical diets or drastic weight loss. Also, gain a little weight, if you're too skinny. It will help.

2.) Balanced Healthy Diet: Diet plays an important role in setting the stage for successful conception. Being overweight or underweight can affect your chances of conceiving. Too much or too little body fat can make your periods irregular or stop them completely, which can affect your ability to conceive. Women whose BMI is more than 30 or under 19 may have problems conceiving. Take multivitamins, including iron, calcium and folic acid for women, and zinc and selenium for men. Foods high in antioxidants are great, like brightly colored fruit, strawberries, cherries, and plums.

3.) Obesity: Obesity is becoming an increasingly common cause for infertility. It is a known fact that infertility and PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) are believed to be directly associated with obesity. The reduced ovulation frequency and chances of conception observed in obese women could be attributed to the negative influence of obesity on hormonal and metabolic mechanisms. Such patients undergoing IVF possessed reduced chances of pregnancy (around 30%) as they required increased doses of gonadotropins for ovarian stimulation compared to women with recommended body mass index (BMI). Obesity contributes to anovulation and menstrual irregularities, reduced conception rate and a reduced response to fertility treatment. It also increases miscarriage and contributes to maternal and perinatal complications. Much more attention should be paid to the impact of obesity on fertility in both women and men.

In other words, not only does obesity make it much more difficult to conceive, but it also exposes both the mother and the infant to all manner of risks before and after birth. So if you are longing to fall pregnant or struggle with PCOS, give lifestyle modification a chance and take the first step by consulting a registered dietician.

4.) Smoking: It's a fact that smoking and infertility go hand in hand. Women who are smokers are at a higher risk of infertility complications. Exposure to cigarette smoke for even a few days can cause changes in the health of your eggs and embryos. If you smoke for many years, or smoke many cigarettes per day, your risk for fertility problems is increased. This can lead to fertility problems, including Ovulation problems, Genetic issues, Damage to your reproductive organs, Damage to your eggs or premature menopause and Increased risk of cancer and increased risk of miscarriage. For men, cigarette smoking increases problems such as lower sperm counts and motility, as well as hormonal problems and erectile dysfunction.

The study also reported an increased risk for the following in offspring born through spontaneous and assisted conception to smoker mothers:
• Preterm birth, growth restriction, stillbirth, and early neonatal death
• Low birth weight, oral facial clefts, and sudden infant death syndrome
• Adverse impact on the seminal parameters of male offspring

Smoking and infertility are linked even for women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART). Studies show smokers have a reduced chance of success with ART. If you smoke and are able to get pregnant with ART, it may take twice as long as usual. when you stop smoking, your chances of being fertile returns. So quit smoking immediately to conceive faster.

5.) Alcohol:Alcohol will affect both you and your partner. In fact, drinking any alcohol at all can reduce your fertility by half and the more you drink, the less likely you are to conceive. One study showed that women who drank less than 5 units of alcohol a week (equal to 2 standard 175ml glasses of wine) were twice as likely to get pregnant within six-months compared with those who drank more. Research has also shown that drinking alcohol causes a decrease in sperm count, an increase in abnormal sperm and a lower proportion of motile sperm. Alcohol also inhibits the body’s absorption of nutrients such as zinc, which is one of the most important minerals for male fertility.

The study linked prenatal alcohol consumption with enhanced risk for the following adverse effects:
• Reduced chances of conception, low pregnancy rates, and increased miscarriages
• Physical anomalies to behavioral and cognitive deficits in offspring, which can be included under the broad term, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD)
• Fetal death, fetal growth restriction and preterm birth

As difficult as it may seem, you should eliminate alcohol from your diets for at least three months in order to give yourself the best possible chance of conceiving.

6.) Caffeine

There is plenty of evidence to show that caffeine, particularly in the form of coffee, decreases fertility. Drinking as little as one cup of coffee a day can halve your chances of conceiving and just two cups a day increases the risk of a miscarriage. One study showed that problems with sperm: sperm count, motility and abnormalities, increase with the number of cups of coffee consumed each day. Once again, it’s important to eliminate all caffeine-containing food and drinks for at least three months before trying to conceive. That includes colas, chocolate, black teas and coffee, among other things.

Considering the negative impact of these lifestyle factors it is recommended that the the infertility specialists practicing in the ART field must make aware the complications arising out of it to the patients. Fertility treatment should not be provided to womens who consume alcohol more then moderate levels or are unwilling or unable to control consumption of alcohol. For the womens who are obese, Weight loss is reported to exert a positive effect on the reproductive potential. If the ART treatment is made conditional upon lifestyle changes, the physicians should assist the patients in achieving the required results.Scientific research are mandatory to substantiate the reproductive effects of alcohol consumption, obesity, smoking, and other lifestyle-related factors.

Lifestyle modification should be the preferred as initial treatment of infertility. A healthy lifestyle in general is key to making sure your fertility is in tip top shape. That includes eating well and exercising to make sure you’re a healthy weight. And of course, drinking within the limit or stopping altogether is part of this. The importance of a healthy lifestyle can’t be overstated.

Although very funny in speaking but Sperm Allergy is a known entity and leads to a variety of symptoms in woman affected and is the minor but important cause of infertility.Dr Michael Carroll, a lecturer in Reproductive Science at Manchester Metropolitan University in the United Kindgom has researched the topic. He estimates that up to 12 percent of women are affected, and that women aged between 20 and 30 show the worst symptoms.

One of Dr Carroll's papers, published in the journal Human Fertility, suggests that sperm allergy is often misdiagnosed — the symptoms are, after all, similar to other conditions including dermatitis and some sexually transmitted diseases.Women who are allergic to their partner's semen experience unpleasant symptoms, ranging from swelling, burning sensations, and itching to anaphylactic shock. Semen allergies also make pregnancy very hard to achieve.Couples who would like to become parents can face all kinds of medical problems. A semen allergy is among the less well-known and more bizarre causes of fertility struggles. These couple are later submitted to fetility by ICSE METHOD OR SINGLE SPERN PENETRATION as some cervical mucosal protein produce antibodies resulting in such allergy .

What is colloquially known as a “sperm allergy” or a “semen allergy” is, in fact, an allergic reaction to a protein within a man's seminal plasma. It is officially known as Human Seminal Plasma Hypersensitivity. Women can manifest an allergic reaction after contact with their partner's semen, but a man can also be allergic to his own semen in rare cases.The allergic reaction does not typically occur the first time the skin comes into contact with the allergen. Rather, the allergy builds up over time.

As the white blood cells develop IgE (immunoglobulin E) antibodies to the allergen, the person becomes sensitized and will start noticing particularly uncomfortable symptoms.
Women who have a semen allergy are likely to be allergic to all semen, not just their particular partner's semen. Once sensitized, the body will jump into action immediately upon allergen exposure and symptoms will show up right away or within the hour. The antibodies quickly detect the allergen in the semen, and bind to it. At the same time, chemicals like histamines are released to deal with the allergen.

The result? Swelling of the genital area, a burning sensation, pain and redness can be the uncomfortable resulting symptoms. Histamine leads to typical allergy symptoms like urticaria (hives), swelling, and an itchy skin. Anyone who has ever had hives knows how uncomfortable they can be, but imagine what it would be like if your genital area was affected.What's even more disturbing is that some women who are hypersensitive to semen have reactions so severe that they can go into anaphylactic shock!

De sensitisation is done by injecting vry diluted semen in vagina and gradually over period of time saturation is increased or some time if cervical mucosa by passed as in ART allegy is less noticed,antihistaminic,zinc and other immune modulators are also used.
