Anti‐STD Vaginal Contraceptive Sponges

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 1997
Vaginal sponges offer women control over protection against both pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) including HIV. Spermicide-impregnated sponges combine the actions of a physical barrier that blocks the cervix with a material that absorbs the ejaculate and a spermicide.

Intravaginal Device-Type and Treatment-Length for Ovine Estrus Synchronization Modify Vaginal Mucus and Microbiota and Affect Fertility

Animals, 2018
Induction and synchronization of estrus and ovulation in sheep is based on intravaginal progestagen-impregnated polyurethane sponges or progesterone-loaded silicon-based devices (CIDR), in either short- (6–7 days) or long-term (12–14 days) protocols ...

Use of Probiotics in Intravaginal Sponges in Sheep: A Pilot Study

Animals, 2020
Sheep estrous synchronization is mainly based on progestagen-impregnated sponges which could cause vaginitis. Several species of Lactobacillus used as probiotics are commonly used in the treatment or prevention of urogenital infections in humans. However,

Bio-loggers inserted in intravaginal sponges, or subcutaneously, as tools to measure body temperature [PDF]

Animal Biotelemetry, 2022
The body temperature of animals can be measured by thermistors, thermocouples, or radiotelemetry devices that are implanted surgically under the skin, although the suitability of subcutaneous temperature as an indicator of core temperature can be limited

HIV-1 specific IgA detected in vaginal secretions of HIV uninfected women participating in a microbicide trial in Southern Africa are primarily directed toward gp120 and gp140 specificities. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
Many participants in microbicide trials remain uninfected despite ongoing exposure to HIV-1. Determining the emergence and nature of mucosal HIV-specific immune responses in such women is important, since these responses may contribute to protection and ...

PROTOCOLOS DE INDUÇÃO E SINCRONIZAÇÃO DO ESTRO EM OVELHAS

Ciência Animal Brasileira, 2013
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of progestagen treatment of different duration, PGF2a and ram effect on estrus induction synchronization in ewes. In Experiment I, ewes (n=48) received vaginal sponges with MAP (medroxyprogesterone)
