AI model predicts male infertility risk using blood hormone levels

According to a World Health Organization (WHO) study (2017), about half of all infertility is due to men. Semen analysis is considered essential for diagnosis of male infertility, but is not readily available at medical institutions other than those specializing in infertility treatment, and there is a high threshold for receiving it.

High-resolution brain maps reveal vascular blueprint for healthy aging

Healthy blood vessels matter for more than just heart health. Vascular well-being is critical for brain health and potentially in addressing age-related cognitive decline and neurodegenerative disorders, like Alzheimer's disease, according to new study led by Penn State researchers. The findings point to an understudied but possible key role the brain's vascular network -; or energy infrastructure -; plays in the onset of neurodegenerative disease.
