Repercussion of SARS-CoV-2 on the Sexual Function in Males Updated Review.

SARS-CoV-2, also called coronavirus causes SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respir-atory syndrome, a highly transmissible disease that has rapidly spread worldwide, straining healthcare systems and leading to a substantial number of fatalities. Interestingly, SARS-CoV-2 has revealed a gender difference, with males dying at a greater rate and with more severe cases than women. It's worth noting that the male reproductive system might be par-ticularly susceptible to damage during periods of moderate to severe sickness, which has been linked to cases of orchitis and erectile dysfunction.

Upregulation of Urinary Alpha-2-HS Glycoprotein During Pregnancy of Murrah Buffaloes.

Urine samples were systematically collected from inseminated Murrah buffaloes (Bubalus bubalis) on days 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 (with day 0 representing the day of artificial insemination). Following confirmation of pregnancy via trans rectal palpation 45 days of insemination, the animals were categorised into pregnant and non-pregnant groups (n = 10 each). The urine samples on 0, 7, 14, 21 and 28 days of pregnant and one sample from non-pregnant preferably collected on 28th day was used for SDS-PAGE after diafiltration.

Prevalence of Osteoporosis and Sarcopenia in Middle-Aged Subjects with Low Back Pain.

 The genesis of both osteoporosis and sarcopenia is multifactorial, complicated, and interrelated. The present study has been undertaken to analyze the prevalence of low bone mineral density (BMD) and the pattern of imaging markers of sarcopenia (paraspinal skeletal muscle area [SMA] and skeletal muscle index [SMI] with respect to clinicodemographic profile in middle-aged patients (30-45 years) undergoing evaluation for low back pain (LBP).  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the lumbosacral spine and/or sacroiliac joints was done on 3T MRI.

Laparoscopic Management of a Rare Case of Spontaneous Biliary Perforation in an Infant.

Spontaneous biliary perforation is a rare condition, predominantly observed in infants, characterized by the leakage of bile into the peritoneal cavity without any apparent cause. This case report discusses a 3-month-old female infant who presented with symptoms of jaundice and abdominal distension. The successful management of this case with a combination of ultrasound-guided percutaneous drainage and laparoscopic cholecystostomy is detailed, highlighting the importance of minimally invasive techniques in treating this condition.
