Published: October 1990

Chicken spermatozoa in diluent with and without glycerol were evaluated after coculture with oviducal tissues. The motility of glycerolized (G) spermatozoa was lower in the cultures of vaginal tissue than in uterine tissue. The percentage of dead, G spermatozoa increased in cultures of the vagina and uterus but not in infundibulum cultures. Glycerol significantly increased the percentage of dead spermatozoa in both vaginal and uterovaginal cultures when compared to nonglycerolized spermatozoa in the same cultures. The percentage of dead G spermatozoa was higher for semen in vaginal culture than in uterovaginal culture. Uterovaginal tissue appeared to protect spermatozoa from some of the detrimental effects of glycerol. Incubation time had a significant detrimental effect on motility and percentages of dead and abnormal spermatozoa regardless of semen or tissue treatment.

Background: Endometrial cancer is the sixth leading cause of cancer among females and about 97,000 global deaths of endometrial cancer. The changes in the trends of obesity, fertility rates and other risk factors in South Africa (SA) may impact the endometrial cancer trends. The aim of this study was to utilise the age period cohort and join point regression modelling to evaluate the national and ethnic trends in endometrial cancer mortality in South Africa over a 20year period (1999-2018).

Background: To investigate the trends in Burkitt lymphoma incidence, mortality, and disability-adjusted life-years, considering sex and age, from 1990 to 2021, with a 20-year forecast.

Method: Data regarding Burkitt lymphoma were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease study for the year 2021.

Results: Globally, there were 19,072 incident cases of Burkitt lymphoma in 2021.

Background: Identifying past, present, and future temporal trends in gallbladder and biliary tract cancer (GBTC) can increase public awareness and promote changes in prevention and treatment strategies.

Methods: The incidence and death rates of GBTC between 1990 and 2021 were extracted from the Global Burden of Disease 2021 study and assessed according to country, region, year, age, and sex. Time trends were measured using the average annual percentage change (AAPC) and projections of the burden of disease for 2022-2045 were made using the Bayesian age-period-cohort model.

A series of new Pd(II) complexes were synthesized from the reaction of andrographolide appended hydrazide derivatives with potassium tetrachloropalladate K[PdCl]. The formation of the complexes was confirmed through structural assessments conducted using various spectroscopic techniques. From the spectral studies we confirmed that the ligands coordinated to Pd(II) ion via amine nitrogen and enone oxygen.
