ABSTRACT
Sexual dysfunction is one of the common findings among chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients and can lead to a decline in sexual desire, fertility/potency, successful pregnancy, along with menorrhagia and occasionally, amenorrhoea. Successful kidney transplantation is an effective method to preserve sexual desire in both the sexes and to achieve successful pregnancy where reasonable planning can give favorable outcomes for both mother and embryo. This review summarizes some common reproductive alterations in men and women undergoing renal transplant.(AU)
La disfunción sexual es uno de los hallazgos comunes entre los pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica y puede provocar una disminución del deseo sexual, de la fertilidad, de la potencia, de la posibilidad de embarazo, además de menorragia y, ocasionalmente, amenorrea. El trasplante de riñón exitoso es un método efectivo para preservar el deseo sexual en ambos sexos y recuperar la posibilidad de un embarazo, para el que una planificación razonable brindará resultados favorables tanto para la madre como para el embrión. Esta revisión ha resumido algunas alteraciones reproductivas comunes en hombres y mujeres tras un trasplante renal.(AU)

A study in Babol, Islamic Republic of Iran, used a questionnaire to gather information on knowledge about oral cancer and its risk factors and to evaluate the efficacy of an educational brochure. From a community sample of 400 people, 76.0% had no knowledge of oral cancer. Mean knowledge score before the education intervention was 1.47 [standard deviation 3.40] out of 10. Knowledge about oral cancer was not associated with age, sex or education level but urban residents had better knowledge than rural residents. Mean knowledge score improved significantly by 5.92 [SD 3.30] at 1 month after the intervention among the 226 respondents who had read the brochure
