Infertility affects 10-15% of couples worldwide, with male factors accounting for half of cases. Environmental, behavioral, and genetic problems contribute to spermatogenic failure in 30% of idiopathic male infertility cases. Other factors, such as oxidative stress (OS), cause impaired spermatogenesis, abnormal sperm morphology, and reduced motility, eventually triggering male infertility.

Objective: To evaluate iron deposition patterns in patients with cerebral cavernous malformation-related epilepsy (CRE) using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) for detailed analysis of iron distribution associated with a history of epilepsy and severity.
Methods: This study is part of the Quantitative Susceptibility Biomarker and Brain Structural Property for Cerebral Cavernous Malformation Related Epilepsy (CRESS) cohort, a prospective multicenter study. QSM was used to quantify iron deposition in patients with sporadic cerebral cavernous malformation (CCMs).

Aim This study evaluates university students' knowledge and attitudes toward Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination and cervical cancer screening and assesses the impact of educational interventions. Methods Participants from Osaka Metropolitan University, Osaka City University, and Osaka Prefecture University completed questionnaires before and after receiving educational materials, including cartoons and a video featuring medical professionals. We compared the correct answer rates for knowledge-related questions and evaluated changes in behavioral characteristics and attitudes toward HPV vaccination and cervical cancer screening before and after distributing the educational materials.

Objective: This scoping review aims to analyze data on genetic susceptibility to neurological outcomes in children exposed in utero to Zika virus.
Methods: We followed JBI methodology for this scoping review.
Alcohol use disorder (AUD) is known to have a significant genetic component, yet there remains a substantial gap between its heritability and findings from genome-wide association studies. One potential factor contributing to this gap may be genetic interactions, or epistasis, a largely unexplored aspect in the context of AUD. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of epistasis in AUD susceptibility and severity among American Indians, a population that exhibits the highest rates of AUD among all ethnic groups in the U.
