The relentless spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and its penetration into the least developed, fragile, and conflict-affected countries (LDFCAC) is a certainty. Expansion of the pandemic will be expedited by factors such as an abundance of at-risk populations, inadequate COVID-19 mitigation efforts, sheer inability to comply with…[Read more]

Currently, considering cryopreservation of bull semen, there is no clear consensus over the comparability of cryoprotective efficacy of extenders with soybean lecithin and those based on egg yolk. The objective of this study was to prove the use of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) extracted from hen-egg yolk as an enhancing factor for soybean…[Read more]

In addition, anticancer effects of SCFAs have proved in the colorectal cancer. In this review, we discuss microbial dysbiosis and its impact on chemotherapy- or radiation-induced intestinal mucositis. Moreover, we summarize the mechanisms of SCFA production and its effects on intestinal mucositis. This review suggests the therapeutic potential of…[Read more]

The current system for assessing and publicly notifying concerns about publication integrity is slow, inefficient, inconsistent, inadequate, and opaque. Readers are, therefore, left unaware of potential issues about publications or are given inadequate information to assess publication integrity. We propose a new process for dealing with…[Read more]

Several studies have confirmed neurological involvements, such as acute cerebrovascular disease and impaired consciousness in COVID-19. In the present study, our aim is to investigate the current evidence regarding central nervous system (CNS) complications in patients with confirmed COVID-19.

An extensive search was conducted in…[Read more]

RNA-binding proteins (RBPs) perform key functions in posttranscriptional regulation, adding complexity to the RNA life cycle. RNA interactome capture techniques have been applied to various organisms of interest and detected hundreds of RBPs, some with uncharacterized functions. However, even in many well-studied organisms, the primary sequence…[Read more]

The disruption and dysfunction of miRNAs may perturb the immune response and stimulate the release of inflammatory cytokines altering the cellular response to viral infection. Previous studies demonstrate that miRNAs have the potential to be used as diagnostic and therapeutic biomarkers. Therefore, its discovery and validation are essential for…[Read more]

2020 Translational Andrology and Urology. All rights reserved.Strategies exist that can mitigate the risk of causing iatrogenic infertility when men require testosterone replacement therapy (TRT). This article reviews the current medical therapies that preserve spermatogenesis when TRT is indicated. Furthermore, we highlight the re-emerging…[Read more]

Activity related to working memory load was reduced for the group that went through the intervention (n = 7) compared to the waitlist control group (n = 4). These results suggest that successful cognitive rehabilitation of working memory in TBI may be associated with increased efficiency of brain networks, evidenced by reduced activation of brai…[Read more]

Background Aeromonas hydrophila is an important water-borne pathogen that leads to a great economic loss in aquaculture. Along with the abuse of antibiotics, drug-resistant strains rise rapidly. In addition, the biofilms formed by this bacterium limited the antibacterial effect of antibiotics. Bacteriophages have been attracting increasing…[Read more]

01) with reduction in arterial stiffness, despite only 11% demonstrating a clinically meaningful improvement in peak oxygen consumption with an overall non-significant 0.4 ml/min/kg increase in peak oxygen consumption (P = 0.14). Conclusion In the absence of supervised training, exercise-induced cardiovascular remodeling in real-world novice…[Read more]

Hibernoma is a rare benign lipomatous tumor derived from brown fat, which is typically found in infants. Specifically, intrascrotal hibernoma is extremely rare with only one case reported to date. We encountered the second case, which was successfully treated with surgical resection without any recurrence at 3 years. The patient was first…[Read more]
