Article Synopsis
- Male infertility is affected by various factors, and the role of Human papillomavirus (HPV) in this context is still debated.
- The 2021 WHO evaluation criteria for semen analysis, including DNA fragmentation index and motility measurements, were applied to evaluate 121 semen samples from male partners of HPV-positive women undergoing IVF.
- Results showed significant differences in motility between HPV-positive and negative samples, and high-risk HPV infections specifically impacted sperm DNA integrity, highlighting new avenues for research on HPV's effects on sperm quality.
Objectives: Neurogenic muscle hypertrophy (NMH) is a rare condition characterized by focal muscle hypertrophy caused by chronic partial nervous injury. Given its infrequency, underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Inspired by two clinical cases, we conducted a systematic review to gain insights into the different aspects of NMH.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFVirus spillovers from managed honey bees, Apis mellifera, are thought to contribute to the decline of wild pollinators, including bumble bees. However, data on the impact of such viruses on wild pollinators remain scarce, and the influence of landscape structure on virus dynamics is poorly understood. In this study, we deployed bumble bee colonies in an agricultural landscape and studied changes in the bumble bee virome during field placement under varying habitat composition and configuration using a multiscale analytical framework.
