Unexplained infertility and age-related infertility: indistinguishable diagnostic entities but different IVF prognosis.

Hum Reprod

September 2024

Maternal and Child Department, Fondazione IRCCS Ca' Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, ART Unit, Milan, Italy.

Study Question: Is IVF indicated for couples with age-related infertility?

Summary Answer: IVF may be of doubtful utility for age-related infertility.

What Is Known Already: A diagnosis of unexplained infertility is drawn when the diagnostic work-up fails to identify any patent cause. Although typically managed uniformly, unexplained infertility is likely to comprise a wide range of conditions, including age-related infertility (at least in older women).

This review focuses on the chemical design and the use of Surface-Enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS)-active nanotags for measuring surface markers that can be overexpressed at the surface of single cancer cells. Indeed, providing analytical tools with true single-cell measurements capabilities is capital, especially since cancer research is increasingly leaning toward single-cell analysis, either to guide treatment decisions or to understand complex tumor behaviour including the single-cell heterogeneity and the appearance of treatment resistance. Over the past two decades, SERS nanotags have triggered significant interest in the scientific community owing their advantages over fluorescent tags, mainly because SERS nanotags resist photobleaching and exhibit sharper signal bands, which reduces possible spectral overlap and enables the discrimination between the SERS signals and the autofluorescence background from the sample itself.

The global HIV response has made tremendous progress but is entering a new phase with additional challenges. Scientific innovations have led to multiple safe, effective, and durable options for treatment and prevention, and long-acting formulations for 2-monthly and 6-monthly dosing are becoming available with even longer dosing intervals possible on the horizon. The scientific agenda for HIV cure and remission strategies is moving forward but faces uncertain thresholds for success and acceptability.

Harmonization of brain PET images in multi-center PET studies using Hoffman phantom scan.

EJNMMI Phys

October 2023

Department of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, Amsterdam, University Medical Centers, Location VUmc, De Boelelaan 1117, 1081 HV, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Background: Image harmonization has been proposed to minimize heterogeneity in brain PET scans acquired in multi-center studies. However, standard validated methods and software tools are lacking. Here, we assessed the performance of a framework for the harmonization of brain PET scans in a multi-center European clinical trial.
