Purpose: The aim of our paper was to validate a testicular biopsy procedure that simplifies handling, processing, and cryopreservation, while at the same time optimizes sperm motility before freezing and after thawing.

Methods: Two prospective studies were conducted to verify, optimize, and understand the virtues of pre-freeze testicular tissue IVC at different temperatures (21, 30, or 37 °C). Testicular tissue was obtained from clinical specimens designated for whole tissue cryopreservation (i.

Article Synopsis
  • The study tests whether there is an increase in sperm, egg, and blood donations during economic downturns using Google search volume data and economic indicators.
  • The analysis combines Google search data with economic metrics like S&P 500, GDP, and unemployment rates from 2004-2011 to explore correlations between searches and actual donation rates.
  • Results indicate significant correlations between search volumes and economic indicators, particularly showing a strong predictive relationship for blood donations when searches are analyzed with a time lag.
