Purpose Ejaculatory abstinence (EA) duration is recognized to impact semen parameters. This study aims evaluate the effects of varying EA durations on quality parameters, distinguishing between normospermic and sub-fertile men, provide insights into tailored recommendations for improved fertility outcomes. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 23,527 samples from men undergoing infertility evaluation 2013 2024. Semen including sperm concentration, motility, morphology, were assessed...
The cerebellum's role extends beyond motor control, impacting various cognitive functions. A growing body of evidence supports the idea that cerebellum optimizes performance across domains, suggesting critical connectivity with neocortex. This study investigates how cerebellar transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) targeting right Crus II region modulates functional brain connectivity. Using a within-subject design, 21 healthy participants underwent both sham and anodal tDCS at 2 mA...
Abstract Purpose We developed and applied a universal strategy for preimplantation genetic testing all cystic fibrosis gene mutations (PGT-CF) based on next-generation sequencing (NGS). Methods A molecular protocol was designed to diagnose CF at stage. The detection of performed by direct linkage 38 specific SNPs located upstream inside the PGT-CF. Seventeen couples risk transmission decided undergo Trophectoderm cell biopsies were day 5–6 blastocysts. PGT aneuploidy (PGT-A) from same...
In 2020, 38% of adults were affected by obesity, while infertility globally 1 in 6 people at some stage their lives.Body mass index (BMI) provides an easy but occasionally inaccurate estimation body composition. To achieve a more precise assessment, bioelectric impedance analysis serves as validated tool that administers electrical energy through surface electrodes. Phase angle function the relationship between tissues resistance and reactance, is trustworthy predictor composition cell...
The aim of Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD) on embryos produced in vitro is to identify the without genetic or chromosomal defect from those that will develop disease are chromosomally abnormal. In case PGD for structural chromosome indication (PGR-SR), normal/balanced transferred maternal uterus. This protocol valid and widely applied autosomal translocation. But which embryo should be after preimplantation diagnosis (PGD-SR) X-3 reciprocal translocation male patient?The female...
Abstract Background The aim was to establish the true risk of having an affected child with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) in Sicilian infertile population. Methods A longitudinal CFTR screening 1279 patients for all mutations sequencing entire gene by Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) performed from patient’s blood. Results One patient out 16 a carrier mutation. Twenty-four were found. Theoretically one couple 256 at CF transmission. Conclusions transmission is unexpectedly high Sicily and...
Abstract Acting in the natural world requires not only deciding among multiple options but also converting decisions into motor commands. How dynamics of decision formation influence fine kinematics response movement remains, however, poorly understood. Here we investigate how accumulation evidence shapes orienting trajectories a task where freely-moving rats combine prior expectations and auditory information to select between two possible options. Response their vigor are initially...
The performance of a model MnCeOx catalyst (Mnat/Ceat, 1) in the catalytic wet air oxidation p-cumaric acid and "real" olive oil mill wastewater (OMW) has been thoroughly assessed. Experimental results temperature range 383–433 K pressure 1.0–1.5 MPa document high purification efficiency system toward both OMW, along with mineralization activity leading to CO2 selectivity values 60 50% (433 K) for respectively. Stability tests indicate resistance against deactivation phenomena by fouling.
