chlamydia transmission , which is often known as the silent disease because it has few symptoms, reduces a man's ability to produce children, they found.

 
Research has found Chlamydia damages sperm
 The disease, which is still on the rise in the UK, is more well known for making women infertile if left untreated.

But now researchers, led by Dr Jose Fernandez from Canalejo University Hospital in La Coruna, Spain, have discovered how chlamydia also affects men.

They looked at the damaged sperm of 143 men from infertile couples and compared it with sperm from 50 fertile men.

The infertile men had chlamydia and another common urinary tract infection called Mycoplasma.

The level of damage - or DNA fragmentation - in the infertile men's sperm was more than three times higher than in healthy men.

The concentration of their sperm, its ability to swim quickly and defects in the shape of it were also poor when compared with the healthy volunteers.

The experts then treated 95 of the infertile men with antibiotics and found their DNA sperm damage improved an average of 36% after four months.

During that period, 13% of the couples got pregnant and, after the treatment was finished, 86% got pregnant.

The findings were released today at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine conference in Washington DC.

Figures published in July by the Health Protection Agency showed a 4% rise in chlamydia between 2005 and 2006, from 109,418 cases to 113,585.

Experts have been particularly concerned about rates of chlamydia among young people, with the NHS launching a national screening programme.

In 2006/07, 115,073 women under 25 were screened but experts are urging more young men to get tested, with only 31,126 screened during the same period.

Dr Allan Pacey, senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield and Secretary of the British Fertility Society, said more needed to be done to target the younger generation.

He said: "The message is that we might think of chlamydia as a disease that damages female fertility, but we need to think again.

"It does damage female fertility, but it appears to damage male fertility too.

"The thing that drives most men to sexual health clinics is symptoms, and chlamydia is often symptom-free.

"Chlamydia is getting out of control. We have got to encourage men as well as women to go for screening, but men are more reluctant to do this if they don't have symptoms.

"It is the 18 to 25 age group that is of most concern. There should be a page on Facebook you can log onto and sort screening out."

Dr Fernandez said more research was needed to follow up his study.

And he added: "We've developed a new technique that allows us to look at the extent of DNA fragmentation in sperm cells using a microscope. "The purpose of our work was to analyse if there's an increase in fragmentation of DNA with infection.

"It was found after four months of treatment there was a significant decrease in DNA damage that could improve pregnancy rates in these couples.

"Fertility clinics should check for these infections."

chlamydia transmission A female condom developed by researchers not only provides contraception but also wards off sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).

Researchers at the University of Washington (UW) developed the condom from tiny microfibres through a method called 'electrospinning'. They are then designed to dissolve after use, either within minutes or over several days.

Not only would the condom block sperm, it could time-release a potent mix of anti-HIV drugs and hormonal contraceptives, the Daily Mail reported.

Kim Woodrow, assistant professor of bio-engineering at Washington, said: "Our dream is to create a product women can use to protect themselves from HIV infection and unintended pregnancy. We have the drugs to do that. It's really about delivering them in a way that makes them more potent, and allows a woman to want to use it."

Woodrow presented the idea, and co-authors Emily Krogstad and Cameron Ball, both first-year graduate students, agreed to pursue the project, at a meeting held last year.

Ball added: "This method allows controlled release of multiple compounds. We were able to tune the fibres to have different release properties."

One of the fabrics dissolves within minutes, offering users immediate protection, while another fabric dissolves gradually over a few days, providing an alternative to the birth-control pill, to provide contraception and protect against HIV.

According to NBA 2k18 MT business journalist Darren - Lowell reported that if the Warriors in this year's Finals 4-0 swept the Cavaliers to win, then this will be a huge achievement, but also let the Warriors in the economic bear a lot of losses.

Of course, many NBA team executives have said before, they are more willing to win, rather than consider the money, so they prefer the series to end faster, rather than drag longer. But the money they lose is hard to ignore.

Take this year's finals, if the series hit the first five games and returned to Auckland's Oracle Arena, the Warriors alone can get $ 12.1 million in ticket revenue, which is equivalent to Stephen - Curry in 2016-17 season's annual salary.

In other words, if the Warriors 4-0 swept the Cavaliers to win, then not in Auckland to play the first five games and Game 7 will let the Warriors management losses of more than 22 million US dollars in revenue.

2k18 MT In the long run, winning the championship will let the Warriors forget the $ 22 million in revenue, and get a championship will certainly enhance the value of the Warriors. But as the Warriors boss, Joe - Ragby should not consider this short-term huge income.
