Peer reviewed publication of rabbit study results

If you’ve been following Vasalgel for some time, you already know that the contraceptive worked well in rabbits. But now it’s official! The results of the rabbit efficacy study were published this morning in Basic & Clinical Andrology, a peer-reviewed journal. The study revealed that rabbits had no sperm in their semen as early as 29 days post-injection and the contraceptive effect was durable throughout the 12-month study.

Vasalgel contraceptive produced rapid azoospermia in rabbits. This graph illustrates the sperm concentration during baseline and after implantation in 12 rabbits. Eleven of the rabbits had no sperm concentration during any measurement after implantation, while one rabbit had very low levels in a few samples.

Parsemus Foundation policy is to only publish in open-access journals so the results are available to all, so you can read the paper for free here.

Reversal was also successful in rabbits, and that paper is next (it’s being prepared for publication). Meanwhile, despite the challenges with reversal in larger animals, we’re moving full speed ahead towards first clinical trial (initially as a vasectomy alternative while reversal issues are being sorted out).

A little video game-playing 'linked with better-adjusted children'

A new study suggests video game-playing for less than an hour a day is linked with better-adjusted children and teenagers. The research, carried out by Oxford University, found that young people who indulged in a little video game-playing were associated with being better adjusted than those who had never played or those who were on video games for three hours or more. The study finds no positive or negative effects for young people who played ‘moderately’ between one to three hours a day. However, the study, published in the journal, Pediatrics, suggests that the influence of video games on children, for good or for ill, is very small when compared with more ‘enduring’ factors, such as whether the child is from a functioning family, their school relationships, and whether they are materially deprived.
