PubHealth.info®
(a subsidiary of
PakMed) presents scientific information mainly
based on abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health issues/topics,
particularly encompassing
population planning, disease prevention, maternal and child health,
and communicable and
non-communicable diseases (like HIV AIDS, malaria, etc) that are
affecting a significant portion of population in developing and
developed
countries. Here you can find abstracts of articles published on a variety of public health
topics under category "Contraception
(Birth Control) and Family Planning".
Contraception (birth control)
is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in
order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman
becoming pregnant or giving birth. Therefore contraception is the
utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices,
practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception
or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed
birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family
planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical
issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less
controversial than abortion specifically. |

| Fertile life span of rabbit spermatozoa in the presence of an intrauterine |
| International Journal of Fertility. 1968 Jul-Sep;13(3):233-236. |
| An investigation of the life span of rabbit sperm in the presence of a foreign body in the uterus of a rabbit was |
| conducted. 32 New Zealand female rabbits were studied. In 1 horn of each rabbit was inserted a 14 Bardic Intracath |
| which was sutured in place with 4-0 silk suture. In the other horn the device was introduced and then removed |
| immediately. 3 weeks later the animals were inseminated with 1 ml of pooled semen collected from 5 fertile rabbits. |
| The rabbits were divided into 12 groups of from 2 to 5 rabbits. 100 units of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) |
| were injected intravenously into the Group 1 rabbits 2 hours after insemination, into Group 2 4 hours after |
| insemination, and into successive groups at 2-hour intervals. The last group was injected 24 hours after |
| insemination. 16-20 hours after the injection of HCG, the IUD was removed. On Day 10 after HCG injection, the |
| rabbits were killed, and the number of corpora lutea and implantation sites were counted. There was no difference in |
| number of corpora lutea seen on device and control sides. The ratio of the total number of implantations to corpora |
| lutea on the device side was less than the control side, and there were fewer viable implantations on the device side. |
| The differences were not significant. There were no implantations when the interval between insemination and |
| HCG administration was 20 hours or greater. Within the limits of this experiment, no change was noted in the life |
| span of spermatozoa. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT9T 1053-06) |
