Abstract
This study was carried out to determine knowledge, attitude and
perception of the prostate health among male employees of a
College of medicine in a university setting. Findings from a
postal questionnaire showed a high level of ignorance about the
prostate gland in the body. 45% of the respondents (TR) do not
know what the prostate gland is, and 54.4% do not know where it
was situated in the body. On the Diet rating: 36.4% of the
respondent enjoyed fatty food,63.6% liked red meat, and
72.7% liked fried food, 36.4% indulged in alcohol and smoking
which are not good for the prostate health. On the prostate
symptoms score: 11.4% had a severe symptom score, while 56.85%
had a moderate symptom score while 31.8% of the respondent had
a moderate symptoms. Conclusion: despite widespread prevalence
of prostate problems among aging men, many men especially in
south-western, Nigeria, had little knowledge of what is called
prostate and associated problems among aging men and possible
preventive measures available to help. The good side of this
finding is that men in this part of the world consume diets
which are rich in fiber, which is a good development for the
prostate health though many of them has a flare for fatty and
fried food.

Abstract
Partial
or complete fertilization failure after IVF was reported
in 5-10% of cycles. Total fertilization failure in
patients with normal sperm parameters is rare but very
stressful incident after IVF. To rescue the IVF cycles
after total fertilization failure, ICSI of unfertilized
oocytes after initial insemination has been reported.We
reviewed a 2 years experience of rescue ICSI and
analyzed the cycles outcomes. Cycles with total
fertilization failure using mature oocytes with normal
morphology, which had no evidence of fertilization 24
hours after IVF were selected for this study and
reinsemination by ICSI was performed. 15 rescue ICSI
cycles were included in our study. After rescue ICSI
fertilization rate per cycle was 54.32%. Also 5.53±4.15
embryos were obtained and 2.54±o.34 embryos were
transferred in each cycles. But no pregnancy was
reported after fresh embryo transfer. This study showed
that day1 rescue ICSI is not a good option for
prevention of complete fertilization failure after IVF
procedure.
Key
words:
Rescue ICSI, conventional IVF, oocyte, fertilization
