Such human embryos can only be studied after surgery (removal of the uterus and Fallopian tubes) which happens to take place shortly after conception. Ten years ago, Dr. Hertig had to be content with eleven-day-old embryos; gradually he has found younger & younger specimens until now the time at which the human embryo descends from the Fallopian tube to the uterus, long a mystery, can almost be fixed...
...hour embryo was a double-cell group (the fertilized ovum having just begun to divide) and was found in the Fallopian tube. In other cases, embryos four to four-and-a-half days old were found in the uterus. Presumably the youngest human yet observed would have descended to the uterus within...
...month ago, at Yonkers Professional Hospital, Dr. Maraventano and his assistants went to work, in an operation lasting three hours. The operation revealed a true testicle in the left side of the groin. In the pelvis, there were an undifferentiated "boggy mass" and suggestions of vestigial Fallopian tubes, but no true uterus and no ovarian tissue. By plastic surgery...
...Some gynecologists blame blocked Fallopian tubes (which carry eggs from the ovary to the uterus) for infertility in 26% to 50% of their cases. Not so, says Dr. Stallworthy. He found "apparent blockage" in 21.6%, but reduced that to 12.8% by such antispasmodic (relaxing) drugs as nitroglycerin, later lowered the rate to 9% in a smaller series of cases. Some of the blocking reported by other doctors is due, he thinks, to temporary spasms caused by their own instruments. Spasms caused by emotions may cause blocking in other cases. He suggests: "Is it not probable that a woman may deprive...
...sterility, 5% were virgins who had no idea that there was anything amiss.* These "somewhat startling figures" should awaken doctors to the need of giving better guidance on sexual matters, "even though it is much less dramatic than performing plastic operations of varying degrees of ingenuity on already disorganized Fallopian tubes...
