The patient said her last period began June 8, so by Naegele's rule, the confinement was due about March 15. But her history was bad -a Latzko Caesarean section for Bandl's ring and toxemia-and we found a hydatid of Morgagni then. On pelvic examination, Skene's ducts were normal, but the left Bartholin gland was slightly enlarged. Chadwick...

The sex cells (sperm and egg) are the end results of a complicated process (meiosis or reduction division) that gives each of them half as many chromosomes as in the nonsexual cells. This reduction is necessary because the sex cells join during fertilization of the egg, and if each contributed a full set of chromosomes, the fertilized egg would have twice the normal number. But if both sperm and egg contribute half as many chromosomes, the fertilized egg gets just the right number...
PROGESTERONE (the natural form) and the synthetic progestagens are female hormones. Given to men, they can both increase fertility and serve as temporary desexing agents, said Dr. Carl G. Heller after studies at Oregon State Penitentiary. In men with a low sperm count, the drugs drop the count to zero, but when the drugs are stopped, there is a rebound to more normal levels, increasing the likelihood of conception. In normal-count men, the drugs also reduce sexual desire, suggesting that they might be used along with psychotherapy in treating homosexuals...
