Cryopreserved sperm among patients with Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia.

Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol

December 2024

Sperm Bank & Andrology Unit, Shamir Medical Center, Zerifin, Israel; IVF Department, Shamir Medical Center, Zerifin, Israel; Sackler Medical School, Tel Aviv University, Tel Aviv, Israel.

Objectives: This study investigates sperm utilization and disposal patterns in Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) patients undergoing long-term sperm storage. OAT is a major contributor to male infertility. Cryopreservation is a common practice as a "fertility insurance" in case of further deterioration until azoospermia.

Pasture access and social housing influence the behaviour of dairy calves.

J Dairy Res

December 2024

Grupo de Estudos em Bovinos Leiteiros, Faculdade de Medicina Veterinária e Zootecnia, Universidade Estadual Paulista, Botucatu, São Paulo, Brazil.

This Research Communication set out to (1) evaluate the behaviour and performance of dairy calves raised on pasture individually or in groups, and (2) evaluate the influence of physical enrichment on the behaviour and performance of dairy calves raised in groups on pasture. Although there was no difference in grazing behaviour when housed in groups, calves spent longer eating concentrate, ruminating and drinking water. Additionaly, calves housed individually spend part of their time trying to get close to a neighbouring calf.

This article discusses how the notion of "diffusionism" has functioned as a straw man in the history of technology. This has prevented it from becoming fully global and symmetrical. In contrast, the second section of this article offers an example of what a symmetrical account of the global history of technology might look like, using the case of chlorination in the early twentieth century.

Hepatitis C Treatment and Behavioral Risk Among Men Who Have Sex With Men With HIV: Comparing Interferon and Direct-Acting Antiviral Eras.

J Acquir Immune Defic Syndr

January 2025

Department of Infectious Diseases, Research and Prevention, Public Health Service of Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Background: Little is known about the effect of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment on sexual risk behavior among men who have sex with men (MSM) with HIV by treatment type (interferon [IFN]-based vs direct-acting antiviral [DAA]-based).

Setting: MSM with HIV and recently acquired HCV infection enrolled in the MSM Observational Study of Acute Infection with hepatitis C (MOSAIC) cohort.

Methods: Using data from 2009 to 2018, we evaluated risk behavior through a validated HCV risk score (where ≥2 indicated high risk) and its individual risk behaviors.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to understand factors affecting the long-term use and disposal of cryopreserved semen straws among cancer patients over nearly three decades.
  • Out of 445 participants, 55 used thawed semen for fertility treatments, 65 disposed of their straws, while a majority of 325 did neither, with younger patients showing lower rates of usage and disposal.
  • The findings suggest a need for policies on cryopreservation that consider efficiency, cost, and patient demographics, potentially requiring consent from patients before preservation to alleviate unnecessary burdens.
