Crime
A travel advisory published by the US Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) in 2012 stated: One common and particularly dangerous method that criminals use in order to rob a victim is through the use of drugs. The most common [in Colombia] has been scopolamine. Unofficial estimates put the number of annual scopolamine incidents in Colombia at approximately 50,000. Scopolamine can render a victim unconscious for 24 hours or more. In large doses, it can cause respiratory failure and death. It is most often administered in liquid or powder form in foods and beverages. The majority of these incidents occur in night clubs and bars, and usually men, perceived to be wealthy, are targeted by young, attractive women. It is recommended that, to avoid becoming a victim of scopolamine, a person should never accept food or beverages offered by strangers or new acquaintances, nor leave food or beverages unattended in their presence. Victims of scopolamine or other drugs should seek immediate medical attention. Between 1998 and 2004, 13% of emergency-room admissions for "poisoning with criminal intentions" in a clinic of Bogotá, Colombia, have been attributed to scopolamine, and 44% to benzodiazepines. Most commonly, the person has been poisoned by a robber who gave the victim a scopolamine-laced beverage, in the hope that the victim would become unconscious or unable to effectively resist the robbery.Beside robberies, it is also allegedly involved in express kidnappings and sexual assault.
In a case study on sperm granuloma and antisperm antibody count in donkeys, it was found that sperm granuloma resulted in an increase in IgA- and IgG- bound sperm in donkeys. They also found donkeys with sperm granuloma had a reduction of sperm motility and reduction of percentage of sperm with an intact plasma membrane. But there was no significant damage found in total sperm motility compared to healthy control donkeys. The extent to which sperm granuloma and antisperm antibodies affect donkey fertility is still yet to be determined by further research studies. Vasectomy
Vasectomy (a birth control for males that cuts the sperm supply to semen) is usually a safe and effective contraception method. It has less than 1% failure rate and more than 95% success rate. Best candidates for vasectomy are older than 30 years individuals assigned male at birth who are in a stable relationship. Vasectomy is best performed when using the no-scalpel method to reduce operative complications. Needles also can be avoided by using a jet injector instead for the local anesthesia, which also reduces the pain that results from needles. Complications of vasectomy depends on the methods and tools used. Complications include short-term complications, such as Infection and bleeding, or long-term complications, such as sperm granuloma and post-vasectomy pain syndrome.
