Sex Preselection: an aid to couples or a threat to humanity? [PDF]

Human Reproduction, 1999
On September 10 1998 the Italian press reported the discovery of a new method to predetermine the sex of a new baby with 90% accuracy. The method is beneficial in many ways and no ethical impediments to the technology have been noted from the point of view of the fetus or of the couple requesting the preselection for strictly medical reasons.

Whole‐slide analysis of mitotic activity in melanoma reveals higher‐proliferation hotspots and distinct spatial patterns

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Whole‐slide analysis of melanoma identified higher‐proliferation mitotic hotspots than routine pathology assessment and revealed distinct spatial patterns of mitotic organization, highlighting the potential of computational mitosis mapping to provide insights beyond conventional mitotic counting.

A double‐blind randomized controlled trial of personalized upper‐alpha neurofeedback in children with ADHD

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, EarlyView.
Background Neurofeedback (NF) is a nonpharmacological approach for ADHD, but standard protocols often overlook individual EEG variability, potentially limiting efficacy. We report the first double‐blind randomized controlled trial of a session‐adaptive individualized upper‐alpha NF protocol in children with ADHD, based on individualized 1/f + alpha ...

Electrophysiologic and Cognitive Tests on Patients with Asymptomatic Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Primary Sjögren’s Disease: Are They Predictive for Neurologic Involvement?

Neurological Sciences and Neurophysiology
Introduction: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and primary Sjögren’s disease (pSD) are autoimmune connective tissue disorders that can involve both the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS).

Healthy Aging Men Do Not Suffer From Relevant Limitations of Their Reproductive Functions

Andrology, Volume 14, Issue 6, Page 1504-1514, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background While metabolic disorders are well‐established contributors to testosterone decline and erectile dysfunction (ED), little is known about the natural progression of reproductive parameters in healthy aging men. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate longitudinal changes in reproductive parameters and sought to determine the ...

Engineering Neuronal Network Connectivity Through Precise and Scalable Electrical Modulation

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 43, 3 August 2026.
This study presents a scalable all‐electrical method for precise neuronal‐circuit reconfiguration based on high‐density microelectrode arrays. By employing biologically inspired plasticity rules, targeted connectivity changes were successfully induced and quantified across diverse neuronal preparations.

Relative effectiveness in genetic gain from genomic selection of candidate dams versus genomic selection of their progeny

JDS Communications
The ability to genomically predict the genetic merit of individuals coupled with the widespread availability of sex-sorted semen is causing a paradigm shift in global animal breeding. Many dairy producers wish to minimize the number of surplus dairy-bred
