Presence of Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, and Other Bacteria in the Upper and Lower Genital Tracts of Fertile and Infertile Populations
Objective: The genital mycoplasmas (Mycoplasma hominis and
Ureaplasma urealyticum) and Chlamydia trachomatis have been implicated as possible
etiologic factors in infertility. Their role in patients with infertility needs to be further defined
New explanation of the GAMS results on the production in the reaction
The observed alteration of the S-wave mass spectrum in the
reaction with increasing , i.e., the disappearance
of a dip and the appearance of a peak in the region of the resonance
as increases, is explained by the contribution of the reaction amplitude with the quantum numbers of the Regge pole
in the channel. It is very interesting that nontrivial evidence for the
exchange mechanism in the reaction follows for
the first time from the experiment on an unpolarized target. The explanation of
the GAMS results suggested by us is compared with that reported previously. Two
ways of experimentally testing these explanations are pointed out.Comment: 20 pages (RevTex), 5 figures (PS), minor typos corrected (in

Clinical approach for the classification of congenital uterine malformations
A more objective, accurate and non-invasive estimation of uterine morphology is nowadays feasible based on the use of modern imaging techniques. The validity of the current classification systems in effective categorization of the female genital malformations has been already challenged. A new clinical approach for the classification of uterine anomalies is proposed. Deviation from normal uterine anatomy is the basic characteristic used in analogy to the American Fertility Society classification. The embryological origin of the anomalies is used as a secondary parameter. Uterine anomalies are classified into the following classes: 0, normal uterus; I, dysmorphic uterus; II, septate uterus (absorption defect); III, dysfused uterus (fusion defect); IV, unilateral formed uterus (formation defect); V, aplastic or dysplastic uterus (formation defect); VI, for still unclassified cases. A subdivision of these main classes to further anatomical varieties with clinical significance is also presented. The new proposal has been designed taking into account the experience gained from the use of the currently available classification systems and intending to be as simple as possible, clear enough and accurate as well as open for further development. This proposal could be used as a starting point for a working group of experts in the field
