Objectives: to evaluate the association between exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and semen quality in young adulthood, with particular attention to different exposure metrics: serum and seminal concentrations of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorosulfonic acid (PFOS), foetal exposure, duration of exposure.
Design: cross-sectional study.
Setting And Participants: 1,000 subjects aged 18-35 years residing in the Veneto area with water contamination by PFAS, enrolled in the period 2022-2023; this interim analysis involves 507 subjects out of the 1,000 enrolled.

Bioinspired robots are machines which reproduce structural or functional features of a living organism. In particular, the bioinspired robots which reproduce features of animals can be more specifically defined as zooinspired robots. Currently, the applications of animal robots are various and range across different fields, such as, for instance, nature conservation, search and rescue of humans after natural or man-made disasters, exploration of extraterrestrial environments and robotic pets for elderly people under care for dementia.

Introduction: The study aimed to assess the relationship between plasma pentraxin 3 (PTX-3) levels and the potential diagnosis of fibrosis in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) in older adults. This was assessed using the Fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4), NAFLD fibrosis score (NFS), and Hepamet fibrosis score (HFS).
Materials And Methods: The subanalysis included 2,397 older adults (aged 60 years and older) from the population-based PolSenior2 study, all of whom had risk factors for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and underwent PTX-3 assessment.

Background: The incidence of hyperuricemia is growing in the world, with a significant influence on the survival and healthy condition of the patient. The connection between serum residual cholesterol (RC) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio and hyperuricemia is uncertain. Consequently, we tried to elucidate the connection between the hyperuricemia and RC/HDL-C ratio.

Background: Visio-spatial intelligence (VSI) skills, including abilities such as spatial awareness, visual processing, and motor coordination, are crucial for athletic performance, particularly in combat sports such as boxing. Amateur boxers require efficient visio-spatial skills (VSS) to quickly process visual information, track opponents' movements, and execute precise techniques. However, the extent to which amateur boxing experience enhances VSS remains unclear.
