(Medwell online, 2009) Sahin, Ali; Gul, Abdurrahma; Karaca, Mehmet; Akkan, Hasan Altan; Keles, Ihsan
The efficacy of two broad spectrum antelmentics (Ricobendazole and Ivermectin) against gastrointestinal nematode infection was compared in sheep. Naturally infected thirty sheep with Trichostrongylidae sp., which were diagnosed by McMaster technique and their coprocultures were performed. Sheep were randomly assigned to two treatment groups (Ricobendazole and Ivermectin) and one control group of 10. Fecal samples for determining nematode egg counts were collected pre- and post-treatment. All treatments resulted in decrease in the number of Eggs per Gram (EPG) in the post-treatment samples compared to the pre-treatment samples. Mean egg counts reduced 100% for both ricobendazole and ivermectin on trial 14 days. Furthermore, no significant differences were found among treatment groups. The data demonstrate a similar efficacy obtained from both ricobendazole and ivermectin. They were effective and convenient to apply. Either ricobendazole or ivermectin believed to be suggestible to treat gastrointestinal nematodes in sheep.

Background: Sexual position is one of the several aspects that affects ejaculation control, which is essential for sexual pleasure. Still little is known, nevertheless, about the connection between sexual positions and ejaculation duration. Objective: To investigate the impact of various sexual positions on the duration of ejaculation and gain a deeper understanding of the elements that influence the ability to control ejaculation. Method: An online survey was carried out on a sample of 1904 heterosexual men between the ages of 18-65 years. Premature ejaculation (PE) diagnostic tool was used to define PE. Demographic, behavioral, and physiological traits that are linked to PE and non-PE groups were collected. The participants listed their preferred sexual positions and the ones they changed to during ejaculating. Also, analyses were performed between male/female active or deep/shallow thrust positions and PE status. Results: Although there were no appreciable variations in age or circumcision between PE and non-PE groups, the age of first sexual experience was associated with PE status. Groups also varied in the number of weekly ejaculations, the duration of the favored ejaculations, and the characteristics of the erection. The most preferred sexual posture was the doggy style regardless of the group. When the non-PE group felt to ejaculate, they preferred to change the position significantly more than the PE group (74% vs 67.2%; p < 0.05). However, when participants felt ejaculate, non-PE participants tended to switch to shallow thrusting positions significantly more than PE participants, who preferred deeper positions (27.1% vs. 18%; p < 0.05). Conclusion: This study underlines the relevance of considering sexual positions in controlling PE. Modifying positions during sexual intercourse may offer a non-pharmacological therapeutic alternative for improving ejaculation control. Future studies in this field might help to create tailored PE treatment strategies.
