Evaluating the Feasibility and Accuracy of Large Language Models for Medical History-Taking in Obstetrics and Gynecology [PDF]
Effective physician-patient communications in pre-diagnostic environments, and most specifically in complex and sensitive medical areas such as infertility, are critical but consume a lot of time and, therefore, cause clinic workflows to become inefficient.

A high-throughput analysis of ovarian cycle disruption by mixtures of aromatase inhibitors [PDF]
Background: Combining computational toxicology with ExpoCast exposure estimates and ToxCast assay data gives us access to predictions of human health risks stemming from exposures to chemical mixtures. Objectives: To explore, through mathematical modeling and simulations, the size of potential effects of random mixtures of aromatase inhibitors on ...

3D Bioprinting of Thick Adipose Tissues with Integrated Vascular Hierarchies
An advanced 3D bioprinting technique is used here to create thick adipose tissues with a central, vessel and extensive branching. The construct is made using alginate, gelatin and collagen‐based bioinks. Flow through the complex vessel network is demonstrated as well as its successful integration with a femoral artery following implantation in a rat ...

Predicting DNA fragmentation: A non-destructive analogue to chemical assays using machine learning [PDF]
Globally, infertility rates are increasing, with 2.5\% of all births being assisted by in vitro fertilisation (IVF) in 2022. Male infertility is the cause for approximately half of these cases. The quality of sperm DNA has substantial impact on the success of IVF.

Computing the minimal crew for a multi-generational space travel towards Proxima Centauri b [PDF]
The survival of a genetically healthy multi-generational crew is of a prime concern when dealing with space travel. It has been shown that determining a realistic population size is tricky as many parameters (such as infertility, inbreeding, sudden deaths, accidents or random events) come into play.

Coverage of Infertility Treatment and Fertility Outcomes: Do Women Catch Up? [PDF]
The ageing of first-time mothers and the changes in women's labor market conditions have been accompanied by the introduction and subsequent increase in the use of assisted reproductive therapies (ART) that help extend women's reproductive lives ...

This study introduces a conductive nerve guidance conduit integrated with wireless electrical stimulation through alternating magnetic fields, which induces currents and creates a supportive microenvironment for nerve regeneration. In vivo studies show that this approach significantly enhanced myelin restoration, gastrocnemius muscle regeneration ...

ANDROLOGY Varicocelectomy and infertility [PDF]
There is no doubt that presence of varicocele contributes to testicular atrophy and decreased fertility in men [1]. There is also evidence that varicocelectomy improved quality of sperm and improve chances of pregnancy although some randomized controlled study were less impressive [2]. Obviously not every man with a significant varicocele has fertility

Mathematical Models for Predicting and Mitigating the Spread of Chlamydia Sexually Transmitted Infection [PDF]
Chlamydia trachomatis (Ct) is the most common bacterial sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the United States and is major cause of infertility, pelvic inflammatory disease, and ectopic pregnancy among women. Despite decades of screening women for Ct, rates continue to increase among them in high prevalent areas such as New Orleans.
