This video is really sad. You can literally watch this man dying. He was shot in the chest and rushed to the emergency room. His heart has stopped beating or has arrested. As a last resort, surgeons did an extreme procedure called an open thoracotomy which is that crazy tool you see there that basically splits the ribs open and allows easy open access to the heart. They did this so they could give him a cardiac massage. A cardiac massage is when surgeons are manually trying to pump the heart after it has stopped working on its own (cardiac arrest). Unfortunately he lost so much blood from his gun shot wound and he was pronounced dead. There are cases of patients surviving after having this kind of invasive resuscitation but it is rare.

What is tropical sprue? Tropical sprue is diagnosed when somebody has long-standing GI problems and has visited tropical regions in the past. It's thought to be caused by bacterial overgrowth and often leads to villous atrophy.

Vertigo is a sense of rotation, rocking, or the world spinning, experienced even when someone is perfectly still. Many children attempt to create a sense of vertigo by spinning around for a time; this type of induced vertigo lasts for a few moments and then disappears. In comparison, when vertigo occurs spontaneously or as a result of an injury it tends to last for many hours or even days before resolving.

Massive bone defects (>8 cm) will not unite without an additional intervention. They require a predictable, durable, and efficient method to regrow bone. The Ilizarov method of tension stress, or distraction osteogenesis, first involves a low-energy osteotomy1 - 5. The bone segments are then pulled apart, most often using an external device at a specific rate and rhythm (distraction phase), after which the newly formed bone (the regenerate) requires time for consolidation. The consolidation phase is variable and usually requires a substantially greater amount of time before the external device can be removed. Our technique of tibial bone transport over an intramedullary nail using cable and pulleys combines internal and external fixation, allowing the external fixator to be removed at the end of the distraction phase. This increases the efficiency of limb reconstruction and decreases the external-fixator-associated complications.

Welcome to the next episode of Fertility Focus Podcast!

If you’ve been trying to conceive and still not seeing results, it’s time to look beyond female fertility alone. Did you know that 50% of infertility cases are due to male factors?
This episode from Fertility Focus dives deep into male infertility, how semen analysis works, what your reports really mean, and what to do if the numbers don’t look right.

We bust myths, decode complex terms, and offer science-backed clarity on improving chances of conception.

What we covered:
✅What is semen analysis, and why is it important?
→ It checks sperm count, movement, and shape, all critical for natural conception.
✅When should a man get a semen test done?
→ After 12 months of trying to conceive, or after 6 months if the female is over 35.
✅Can semen quality be judged by its colour or thickness?
→ No, only lab analysis can determine true sperm health.
✅What are the prerequisites before giving a semen sample?
→ 2 to 5 days of abstinence and sample collection at a proper lab, not at home.
✅Can sperm count be too low even if the volume looks normal?
→ Yes, concentration matters more than total volume.
✅What is the difference between total sperm count and concentration?
→ Count is the total number of sperm in the ejaculate; concentration is per ml.
✅Why does one man have 2 million count and another has 100 million, despite similar lifestyles?
→ Hormonal levels, genetic factors, or testicular issues may be at play.
✅Can a very low sperm count be increased with treatment?
→ Sometimes yes, especially if it’s due to hormone imbalance or infection.
✅What lifestyle habits reduce sperm count and motility?
→ Obesity, smoking, stress, lack of exercise, poor diet, and steroids.
✅What is sperm motility, and why is it important?
→ Motility is how well sperm can swim to reach the egg. Without it, fertilisation is unlikely.
✅What are progressive vs. non-progressive motility types?
→ Progressive means forward movement; this is needed to fertilize the egg.
✅What causes poor sperm motility (Asthenozoospermia)?
→ Often infections, poor lifestyle, or damage to mitochondria in sperm.
✅Can poor motility be improved?
→ In many cases, yes—through infection treatment, lifestyle change, and antioxidants.
✅What is sperm morphology, and how much does it matter?
→ It's about sperm shape. While poor shape doesn’t always stop pregnancy, extreme defects like globozoospermia do.
✅Can someone have 0% normal sperm morphology and still conceive?
→ Yes, studies show conception is possible if count and motility are good.
✅Why do semen reports vary from time to time?
→ Illness, stress, sample error, and abstinence period can all affect reports.
✅What if sperm count and motility are fine but pregnancy still isn’t happening?
→ Advanced tests like DFI (DNA Fragmentation Index) or ROS (oxidative stress) may be needed.
✅What is DFI and who should get it done?
→ DNA Fragmentation Index helps identify sperm DNA damage; best for smokers, failed IUI/IVF cases, or unexplained infertility.
✅What is hemizona assay and why is it done?
→ It checks sperm’s ability to bind with the egg’s outer layer—helpful in unexplained infertility.
✅What causes blood in semen or sudden colour changes?
→ Usually infection or trauma, and rarely can indicate cancer. Always consult a urologist.
✅What to do if no semen comes out during ejaculation?
→ It could be retrograde ejaculation. A urine test may help recover sperm.

Infertility isn’t just a female issue. Every couple trying to conceive should consider a complete semen evaluation by a trained expert. Don’t rely on guesswork or myths. Get real answers from real tests. If your report is confusing or concerning, we’re here to help.
