Using commercially-available ultrasound technology, scientists have successfully reduced sperm count in rats to a level that would cause infertility in men. Researchers managed to reduce motile sperm ...

Imagine a contraceptive that could, with one or two painless 15-minute non-surgical treatments, provide months of protection from pregnancy. And imagine that the equipment needed were already in ...

German design graduate Rebecca Weiss has won a James Dyson Award for a male contraceptive device called Coso, which uses ultrasound waves to temporarily halt sperm regeneration. Weiss's Coso device is ...

Ultrasound could be used as a male contraceptive in the future, scientists claim. They have found that 15 minutes of ultrasound on rats reduced their sperm count to levels that would mean infertility ...

A team of scientists at the University of North Carolina have found a novel way to cut sperm counts to levels that would make men infertile. Researchers from the University of North Carolina School of ...

Among the 78 research projects to receive $100,000 grants from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation earlier this week as part of the Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative, is an effort by ...

The future of male birth control may lie in ultrasound. Zapping testicles with the high frequency sound waves effectively kills sperm, according to a new study from researchers at the University of ...

It sounds like one of the more extreme examples of birth control - but blasting a man's most vulnerable area with ultrasound could be the ideal form of male contraception, say scientists. Experiments ...

Background The pathogenesis of the Osgood-Schlatter's disease (OSD) is still debated. The fragmentation of the ossification centre has been questioned as a definitive sign of OSD and has been seen as ...
