As previous data showing the negative impact of semen agitation during transport on sperm quality was obtained only in tube-type packages, this study aimed to compare two packages for boar semen dose (bag or tube) submitted to different agitation times. Ejaculates from thirty different boars were diluted in BTS extender, packed in bags or tubes in split sample, and submitted to agitation for 0, 6, or 12 h at 100 rpm at 17 ºC. Semen doses were stored for up to 168 h and evaluated for quality traits.

This pilot ex vivo study and first clinical experience in Italy evaluate the impact of using pre-implantation crosslinking on all-femtosecond laser-cut corneal allogenic intracorneal ring segments (AFXL CAIRSs). Six human donor eye-bank corneas were used for this preclinical ex vivo human study. Three donor (D) corneas were used for AFXL CAIRSs.

Cyclotrichium origanifolium, a plant widely used in Eastern and Southern Anatolia for culinary purposes, was subject of this study, which aimed to comprehensively evaluate its potential therapeutic applications. This research stands out due to its holistic approach, combining morpho-anatomical studies, chemical, and biological analyses to explore antioxidant, antidiabetic, anticholinesterase, genotoxic, and anti-genotoxic effects of methanolic and aqueous extracts, as well as flowering aerial part essential oil. It is a perennial plant, typically ranging from 10 to 40 cm in height, with a suffrutescent and highly branched growth habit.

Objective: To evaluate radiation dose and image quality of a double-low CCTA protocol reconstructed utilizing high-strength deep learning image reconstructions (DLIR-H) compared to standard adaptive statistical iterative reconstruction (ASiR-V) protocol in non-obese patients.

Materials And Methods: From June to October 2022, consecutive patients, undergoing clinically indicated CCTA, with BMI < 30 kg/m were prospectively included and randomly assigned into three groups: group A (100 kVp, ASiR-V 50%, iodine delivery rate [IDR] = 1.8 g/s), group B (80 kVp, DLIR-H, IDR = 1.

Article Synopsis
  • - Terson syndrome (TS) is an eye condition linked to subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) that causes bleeding in the eye, leading to visual impairment, and can affect one or both eyes unevenly.
  • - A 52-year-old woman experienced TS after a right middle cerebral artery aneurysm rupture during sex, but surprisingly, she reported significant visual issues in her left eye while the right eye showed more damage.
  • - TS usually causes symptoms in both eyes, but in this case, the symptoms were predominantly found in the eye opposite to the affected hemisphere, making it an unusual presentation.
