Correlation between seminal α-glycerylphosphorylcholine and semen parameters in infertile patients pre- and post-sub-inguinal micro-varicocelectomy: a prospective study.
Arch Ital Urol Androl
January 2025
Background: Varicocele (Vx) which is the most treatable cause of male infertility, is also associated with low sperm count, decreased sperm motility and increased sperm abnormal morphology. We aimed in the current study to evaluate the correlation between seminal α-Glycerylphosphorylcholine (αGPC) and semen parameters in infertile patients pre- and post- sub-inguinal micro-varicocelectomy.
Methods: The current comparative prospective study was carried out on 20 male patients who presented to Kasr Al-Ainy Hospitals from March 2022 to March 2023 as well as 20 healthy controls.
Gemcitabine hydrochloride (GEM) mimics one of the building blocks of DNA and RNA, so it indicates possible chemotherapeutic effects. It prevents cancer cells from producing DNA and proteins, which ultimately leads to their death. The goal of this work is to modify the GEM medication by nanoforming nanoliposomes based on the composition of Cholesterol, pectin nanoparticles, and phosphatidylcholine (PhC).

- Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a treatment for severe aortic stenosis, mainly affecting older adults, requiring accurate frailty assessments for optimal patient selection.* -
- This study analyzed data from 14,000 patients at the University of Florida to improve frailty prediction for TAVR candidates by combining structured electronic health records and unstructured clinical notes, using advanced modeling techniques.* -
- The integrated model significantly outperformed those using only electronic health record data, identifying key frailty predictors, which may enhance patient outcomes in TAVR procedures.*
Article Synopsis
- The study evaluated a fluoroscopy-free, single-use flexible ureteroscopy procedure for treating kidney stones, comparing patients with abnormal renal anatomy (Group A) to those with normal anatomy (Group B).
- A total of 120 patients (40 with abnormal anatomy and 80 with normal) were treated, showing no significant differences in operative time, hospital stay, or stone-free rates between the two groups.
- The procedure was mostly completed without fluoroscopy with a high stone-free rate (93%) for stones sized 10-15 mm, indicating that this method is feasible for patients with kidney stones, especially those with abnormal renal anatomy.
Bat Ear Correction Steps and Outcomes for Better Life Support.

An unusually projecting human ear is known as a prominent ear, otapostasis, or bat ear. It might be both bilateral and unilateral. The scapha and antihelix of the big concha are not well formed.
