: Semen cryopreservation has been widely used in recent decades, mainly in patients with male factor infertility (MFI) and patients with cancer (to preserve their fertility potential before undergoing gonadotoxic treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiotherapy). : we evaluated the temporal trend and the existence of factors determining the usage of cryopreserved semen (in order, for instance, to conceive using assisted reproduction techniques (ARTs)). We evaluated 7044 patients who cryopreserved since 1991, evaluating clinical information such as the diagnosis, age, the method with which the collection took place and the number of pick-ups for use in ART.

Background: To construct a prediction model consisting of metabolites and proteins in peripheral blood plasma to predict whether patients with unresectable stage III and IV non-small cell lung cancer can benefit from immunotherapy before it is administered.
Methods: Peripheral blood plasma was collected from unresectable stage III and IV non-small cell lung cancer patients who were negative for driver mutations before receiving immunotherapy. Then we classified samples according to the follow-up results after two courses of immunotherapy and non-targeted metabolomics and proteomics analyses were performed to select different metabolites and proteins.

Frontotemporal Lobar Degeneration (FTLD) encompasses progressive neurodegeneration primarily affecting the frontal and/or temporal lobes, presenting in varied pathological entities. These pathologies lead to diverse clinical syndromes collectively known as Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), which includes a behavioral variant, and primary progressive aphasia, with its non-fluent and semantic variants, and related conditions with parkinsonism or motoneuron disease features.
