DNA fragmentation and chromatin denaturation in various sperm categories: A prospective cohort study

Asian Pacific Journal of Reproduction
Objective: To evaluate how DNA fragmentation index (DFT) and chromatin denaturation index (CDI) relate to semen parameters across different types of male infertility, thereby improving the understanding and assessment of sperm quality.

Dimethyl Fumarate, But Not Rituximab, Reduces Serum GFAP Levels and PIRMA in Relapsing–Remitting MS

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Serum neurofilament light chain (sNfL) and glial fibrillary acidic protein (sGFAP) levels are believed to reflect mainly acute and chronic disease processes in multiple sclerosis (MS), respectively. In this study, we investigated whether dimethyl fumarate (DMF) and rituximab (RTX) differentially affect these biomarkers.

Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Inebilizumab Versus Rituximab in AQP4‐IgG‐Positive NMOSD

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Rituximab (anti‐CD20, RTX) and inebilizumab (anti‐CD19, INE) represent B‐cell‐depleting therapies used for aquaporin‐4 antibody‐positive (AQP4‐IgG+) neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD); however, direct comparative evidence remains limited.

Dietary Glycemic Index and Load and Semen Quality: A Cross-Sectional and Prospective Analysis within the FERTINUTS Trial

The World Journal of Men's Health
Purpose: Infertility is a global health issue and nutrition plays a significant role in fertility outcomes. We aimed to investigate the cross-sectional and prospective associations of glycemic index (GI) and glycemic load (GL) with semen quality ...

Early Recognition of Treatment‐Responsive Rapidly Progressive Dementia: The Modified STAM3mP Score

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Early identification of patients with treatment‐responsive rapidly progressive dementia (RPD) is important as early treatment improves outcomes. The STAM3P score identifies treatment‐responsive RPD using “high risk” presenting features. We optimized performance by adding a time component (i.e., dementia within 3 months) and validated the ...

Correlation between proportions of sperm with DNA fragmentation assessed by Halosperm test and values of standard quality parameters of semen and possible impact on embryo quality

Zdravniški Vestnik, 2013
Background: The aim of the present study was to investigate the correlation between standard laboratory parameters of human semen, men’s age and sperm DNA fragmentation. We have also examined an impact of sperm DNA damage on embryo quality after IVF/ICSI

Digital Cognitive Testing in Mitochondrial Disease: Validity and Challenges for Clinical Trial Use

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Primary mitochondrial disease is a group of genetic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in nuclear or mitochondrial DNA, often resulting in progressive neurodegeneration and cognitive decline. Current management is primarily supportive, though recent research offers hope for disease‐modifying treatments in the future.

Neurologic Manifestations of Long COVID Affect Adult Females More Severely Than Males

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective To characterize differences in neurologic manifestations of postacute sequelae of SARS‐CoV‐2 infection (Neuro‐PASC) between females and males. Methods Cross‐sectional study of the first consecutive 261 posthospitalization Neuro‐PASC (PNP) and 2068 nonhospitalized Neuro‐PASC (NNP) patients evaluated at the Neuro‐COVID clinic between ...

Gravity‐Dependent Modulation of Downbeat Nystagmus: Insights From Velocity‐Storage Dysfunction

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Downbeat nystagmus varies with head position, a phenomenon termed gravity‐dependent modulation. We aimed to clarify its mechanism using a velocity‐storage model. Methods In 10 patients with downbeat nystagmus due to cerebellar disorders, we recorded eye movements at different pitch‐ and roll‐axis head positions.
