Trichomoniasis in Men: A Neglected Factor in Male Infertility?
Acta Parasitol
January 2025
Department of Medical Parasitology and Mycology, School of Medicine, Hamadan University of Medical Sciences, P.O. Box: 65157838736, Hamadan, Iran.
Purpose: This study is aimed to detect the frequency of trichomoniasis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by an anaerobic protozoan Trichomonas vaginalis, in men referred to the Fertility and Infertility Research Center Hamadan University of Medical Sciences.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a group of 197 male volunteers who sought medical attention for issues related to infertility participated. The urine and semen samples were collected in sterile conditions.

Protothecosis is a severe, emerging opportunistic infection caused by the saprophytic, achlorophyllous microalgae of the genus Prototheca. Though uncommon, human and animal cases are increasing worldwide, making awareness of this fungal-like pathogen important in both human and veterinary medicine. We report a fatal case of disseminated protothecosis caused by P.

Background: Urinalysis is a commonly performed test for the diagnosis and prognosis of kidney disease in hospitalized patients. It involves examining the chemical composition of the urine and microscopy to examine the cells and casts. In clinical settings, urinalysis is frequently delayed by several hours after sample collection and held at room temperature.

Circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids are novel diagnostic, prognostic and predictive tools for non-invasive and cost-effective cancer detection in liquid biopsy. Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) has been proposed as a biomarker in urogenital tumors and urine sediment. Our aim was to evaluate CAIX full-length percentage (CAIX FL%) in urine-cell-free RNA (cfRNA) and its relationship with tumor-cell-associated RNA (TC-RNA).

Article Synopsis
- This study systematically reviews methods for extracting and analyzing organic contaminants in crab urine, which are essential due to crabs' role as bioindicators of aquatic contamination.
- Although harmful substances like PCBs and pesticides are known to affect ecosystems, most studies have focused mainly on PAHs, leaving a significant research gap.
- The perception that collecting crab urine is difficult, along with insufficient methodologies in existing literature, highlights the need for more extensive research to improve ecological understanding and environmental monitoring efforts.
