The current sperm selection procedure for intracytoplasmic sperm injection has limited ability to detect structural and functional abnormalities of the spermatozoa. The aim of this study was to investigate whether the degree of sperm tail swelling observed during hypo-osmotic swelling test (HOST) may predict sperm quality. Sixty semen samples were collected from men investigated for couple infertility.

- - The study aimed to explore how people perceive and reject individuals with fifteen different mental illnesses, testing the SUBAR model connecting perceptions of vital forces and burden to social rejection.
- - An online survey conducted with 952 participants in France assessed social distance and rejection feelings, revealing a stigma map that highlights varying levels of stigmatization across different mental disorders.
- - Results indicated that perceptions of burden were linked to higher social distance and negative feelings towards most mental illnesses, while perceptions of vital force were associated with lower rejection, supporting the need for further research on the topic.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare follicular liquid levels of IL6 and AMH in women with and without endometriosis and to evaluate their potential impact on ICSI outcomes.
Materials And Methods: It is a prospective case-control study conducted on 25 women with proven endometriosis and 50 patients diagnosed with other causes of infertility. All these patients were candidates for ICSI cycles.
Successful development of protein therapeutics depends critically on achieving stability under a range of conditions. A deeper understanding of the drivers of instability across different stress conditions, will enable the engineering of more robust protein scaffolds. We compared the impacts of low pH and high temperature stresses on the structure of a humanized antibody fragment (Fab) A33, using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations, using a recent 2.
