Morphological sperm evaluation supported by the morphometry can be used in the determination of the seminal quality and in the investigation of potential extenders. Although there are studies comparing TRIS and ACP extenders, there are no comparative studies between them for the computerized assisted semen analysis (CASA), sperm viability, membrane functionality and sperm morphometry parameters of cryopreserved canine semen. Hence, we aimed to evaluate the effects of ACP-106c and TRIS on post-freezing canine sperm quality.

- Testicular vitrification is a method used to preserve the genetic material of pre-pubertal animals, but there’s limited research on how to effectively warm vitrified testicular tissues.
- This study assessed how different warming temperatures (50, 55, and 60°C) affect the integrity and viability of vitrified testicular fragments from pre-pubertal cats through histological and mitochondrial activity evaluations.
- Results indicated that warming at 50°C maintained tubular integrity and cell junctions better than higher temperatures, with 60°C causing significant damage, making 50°C the optimal temperature for preserving testicular morphology and function.
We recently confirmed several cases of acute schistosomiasis in Porto de Galinhas beach, Northeast Brazil. A total of 662 patients were diagnosed by parasitological and clinical examinations. The infection likely occurred during the September 7 national holiday, when heavy rainfall flooded the Ipojuca River and people were infected when the water covered their yards.
