Extractions: Vol. 17, No. 7 GENITAL CHLAMYDIAL INFECTION EPIDEMIOLOGY Chlamydia trachomatis infections are among the most prevalent and detrimental bacterial sexually transmitted diseases affecting men and women in the United States. Although these infections are often asymptomatic or produce mild, nonspecific signs and symptoms, if untreated they may lead to serious sequelae in women. These complications include chronic pelvic pain, infertility, ectopic pregnancy and other adverse outcomes of pregnancy. Approximately 3% of women of childbearing age and 10-29% of sexually active adolescent girls are infected with chlamydia. SCREENING FOR CHLAMYDIA The following diagnostic screening tests are recommended as screening tools for Chlamydia trachomatis: ENZYME IMMUNOASSAY (ElA) POLYMERASE CHAIN REACTION (PCR) NUCLEIC ACID PROBE CELL CULTURE Specimen Type Endocervical, urethral, urine (males), conjunctival Endocervical, urethral, urine (males) Endocervical, urethral, conjunctival Endocervical, urethral, urine, conjunctival, pulmonary, rectal

We did vag. ultrasounds, post coitals, shots, husband insemination, surgery. I think everything short of pergonal and in-vitro. I know for a fact that my mucus is to scantily thick for my husbands sperm to swim in so it kills them instead. It seems like my infert. spec. won't tell me how to fix the prob. He just tells me we'll do clomid (which really makes my mucus thick) keep track with the ultrasound, then the shot when the egg is mature enough and finally insemination. We've done this about eight times. I'm really sick of it. I know my problem is my mucus. My question is "IS THERE A WAY TO THIN MY MUCUS OUT MY SELF." (and no, Robitussin doesn't work for me. I think its a myth anyway.) Please help. I am at my wits end. brhill6896@prodigy.net

Extractions: Pick up a free copy from a yellow box near you When Two Doesnt Happen Secondary infertility makes some parents wonder, if it worked once, why wont it work again? By AMEI PARKES W hen Ellie Whyte turned 40 last year, she hired a marimba band and invited 50 of her closest friends. Most of the guests didnt know it, but she had more than one reason to celebrate. After four years of trying to have a second baby, she had decided to stop seeking medical advice. I got tired of it all, says Whyte, who saw three gynecologists and three naturopaths without success. For someone who got pregnant easily the first time, the Salt Spring resident never dreamed she would have trouble conceiving again. But in Canada, about one in six couples (a national total of 500,000 people) are affected by a condition experts call secondary infertility, whereby one or both of the partners may have developed a problem since their first pregnancy. Tubal defect is the most common cause for secondary infertility, followed by hormonal problems, and ovulation or sperm defects. Many couples never learn the reasons behind this complex physiologic and anatomical disorder, and fall into the unenviable category of unexplained infertility. Whyte, who is using a pseudonym in this article, still doesnt know why she cant have more children. One gynecologist said she had low progesterone levels. Another told her she had bad ovulation. One naturopath suggested hormonal imbalances, while another diagnosed leaky gut syndrome. Whyte isnt sure what to believe. When the last doctor prescribed fertility drugsa treatment she is morally opposed toshe dropped him.

Extractions: 13 November 2000 Disease characteristics. Prader-Willi syndrome is characterized by severe hypotonia and feeding difficulties in early infancy, followed in later infancy by excessive eating and gradual development of morbid obesity, unless externally controlled. All patients have some degree of cognitive impairment; a distinctive behavioral phenotype is common. Hypogonadism is present in both males and females. Short stature is common. Diagnosis/testing. Accurate consensus clinical diagnostic criteria exist, but the mainstay of diagnosis is DNA-based methylation testing to detect the absence of the paternally contributed Prader-Willi syndrome/Angelman syndrome (PWS/AS) region on chromosome 15q11-q13. Such testing detects over 99% of cases. Genetic counseling. PWS is caused by absence of the paternally derived PWS/AS region of chromosome 15 by one of several genetic mechanisms. The risk to the sib of an affected child of having PWS depends upon the genetic mechanism of the absence of the paternally contributed PWS/AS region. The risk to sibs is Accurate clinical diagnostic criteria for Prader-Willi syndrome exist. Testing for the parent-specific methylation imprint of the PWS/AS region (chromosomal locus 15q11-q13) detects over 99% of cases and is highly specific. Methylation-specific testing is important to confirm the diagnosis of PWS in all children, but especially those who are too young to manifest sufficient features to make the diagnosis on clinical grounds or in individuals who have atypical findings [
