The study of the effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection and/or vaccination on semen fluid analysis (SFA) parameters is still incomplete. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of COVID-19 infection and vaccination on sperm parameters for a sample of individuals visiting multi-infertility clinics in Jordan. SFA records were collected retrospectively between September and November 2021 and analyzed using Jamovi software (version 2.2.5 for Windows); p-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Sperm concentration, progressive motility, normal morphology, and semen liquefaction time, volume, and viscosity were compared among two data categories. In the first category of data, SFA records from 354 participants were separated into four groups: only vaccinated, infected and vaccinated, neither infected nor vaccinated, and only infected. In the other category, SFA from 49 subjects before their infection and/or vaccination and after were classified into the same mentioned groups and analyzed. There were no statistically significant differences between the studied parameters in the SFA records in the first data category and the second. Nevertheless, the sperm concentration was higher among vaccinated subjects compared to unvaccinated ones (p = 0.04). It is concluded that SARS-CoV-2 infection and vaccines have no negative effects on SFA parameters.

School of Public Heath, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310058, China.
Objective: To analyze the fatty acid content of Jiangnan dishes in Hangzhou.
Methods: Based on the order frequency records from an online platform, two popular Jiangnan cuisine restaurants were selected for monitoring. Fat extraction was performed on three types of dishes: purely vegetarian, mixed vegetarian and non-vegetarian, and purely non-vegetarian, using acid hydrolysis.
Characteristics of lipid metabolism and fat distribution in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and their Mendelian randomization study.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and lipid metabolism, analyzing clinical data and fat distribution in 157 PHPT patients compared to matched controls.
- Previous research hints at a link between parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and lipid profiles, yet this study finds no significant differences in lipid-related measurements or fat distribution between PHPT patients and controls.
- Overall, the analysis suggests that PTH levels do not have a significant impact on lipid metabolism indicators, as various correlations remained non-significant even after accounting for factors like calcium levels and vitamin D.
Assessment of body composition-related imaging parameters indicative of sarcopenia in Chinese patients with Crohn's disease: correlation with disease severity and biologic efficacy.

Objectives: To evaluate the prognostic value of body composition-related imaging parameters in assessing Crohn's disease (CD) severity and biological responses in Chinese patients.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed electronic medical records and Computed tomography (CT) images from 117 CD patients, including 90 with sarcopenia and 27 without. We calculated subcutaneous fat area (SFA), visceral fat area, skeletal muscle area (SMA), mesenteric fat index (MFI), skeletal muscle index (SMI), and muscle attenuation (MA).

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of shift work on the sleep quality and nutritional status of nurses with different chronotypes. The study was designed to include 21 people from each chronotype and was completed with 60 participants. The participants were asked to record their food consumption during three different types of shifts they worked over a period of three days.

Purpose: Partial splenic artery embolization (PSAE) is an effective procedure for cirrhotic patients with hypersplenism. The aim of our study is to evaluate the effect of PSAE on skeletal muscle, and to identify the predictor for an improvement in skeletal muscle index (SMI) in cirrhotic patients with hypersplenism after PSAE.
Materials And Methods: 466 cirrhotic patients with hypersplenism underwent PASE between Dec 2013 and Mar 2022.
