Association between sperm DNA fragmentation index and recurrent pregnancy loss: results from 1485 participants undergoing fertility evaluation.

Objective: Several male factors have been reported to play a role in recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). The aim of this study is to explore the relationship between semen parameters, sperm DNA fragmentation index (DFI) and RPL.

Method: A total of 1485 participants were recruited from a university hospital between April 2020 and August 2022.

Association between life's essential 8 and bone mineral density among adults aged 20-59 years.

This study investigates the relationship between Life's Essential 8 (LE8) scores and bone mineral density (BMD) in adults aged 20-59 years. This cross-sectional analysis employed nationally representative data from NHANES 2011-2018. Weighted multiple linear regression models were applied to assess the association between LE8 scores and varying levels of cardiovascular health (CVH) with BMD.

Comparative study of insulin resistance surrogate indices to predict mild cognitive impairment among Chinese non-diabetic adults.

Objective: The study aims to investigate the associations of triglyceride glucose (TyG), TyG combined with body mass index (TyG-BMI), metabolic score for insulin resistance (METS-IR), the triglyceride to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C), and the risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in individuals without diabetes aged 45 and above.

Methods: The most recent data in this study were from a cohort study, which sourced samples from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study, spanning 2011 to 2018. The four indices' associations with MCI risk were analyzed using logistic regression.

Chemopreventive Effects of Azadirachta indica on Cancer Marker Indices and Ultrastructural Changes During 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine-Induced Colon Carcinogenesis in Rats.

The present study elucidated the prospective of Azadirachta indica supplementation, if any, in affording chemoprevention by modulating the altered cancer markers and ultrastructural changes in DMH-induced colorectal carcinogenesis in rats. The rats were segregated into four groups viz., normal control, DMH treated, A.
