Researchers at the Columbia University Fertility Center have reported the first successful pregnancy using an AI-guided method they developed to retrieve sperm from men with azoospermia, in which ejaculation contains little or no sperm. The case is described in an investigative letter published in The Lancet. Male factors are responsible for about 40% of couples with infertility. Of these, approximately 10-15% of men with infertility have azoospermia. A sperm sample may look completely normal, but when you look under the microscope you just discover a sea of cellular debris, with no sperm visible. Many couples with male factor infertility…
It started as one of those common annoyances that we often ignore during our busy lives. For a moment my hearing was fine. The next, I couldn’t hear out of my left ear. I had experienced something similar before when one of my ears was filled with wax. I used to fix the problem myself by using one of those plastic bulbs to force a stream of hot water into the ear. It would take a lot of pressure, but eventually some wax would come out and my hearing returned to normal. My doctor told me it wasn’t safe to…

Having a “normal” cholesterol level in a society where it is normal to die of a heart attack is not necessarily a good thing. “Consistent evidence” from various sources “establishes beyond doubt” that so-called bad LDL cholesterol causes atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease—strokes and heart attacks, our leading cause of death. This database includes hundreds of studies involving millions of people. “Cholesterol it is the cause of atherosclerosis’, hardening of the arteries and ‘the message is loud and clear’. “It’s the cholesterol, idiot!” famous its publisher American Journal of CardiologyWilliam Clifford Roberts, whose bio it is more than 100 pages, having published…
Cricinias (also called grissini) is a type of Italian bread that seems like a fairly harmless snack. They’re light, simple, and often made with olive oil, which makes them sound like a healthier option. But are they really as healthy as they look? The short answer: not particularly, but they’re not terrible either. Most breadcrumbs are made with refined white flour, a little oil and salt. They are low in fiber and nutrients, but also low in sugar and fat. So while they won’t do you much harm, they don’t offer much nutritionally either. However, they can be part of…
The Trump administration’s overhaul of the nation’s largest food aid program will result in millions losing benefits, strain state budgets and strain the nation’s food supply chain, according to researchers and former federal officials. Permanent changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program come regardless of the outcome of at least two federal lawsuits seeking to prevent the government from ending November SNAP benefits. The lawsuits challenge the Trump administration’s refusal to release emergency funds to keep the program running during the government shutdown. A federal judge in Rhode Island ordered the government to use those funds to continue SNAP. A…
Opening my social media feed, I’m often faced with a jarring contrast: stark, diametrically opposed opinions from different friends. Comments can be accompanied by insults, character attacks and abusive language. I’m certainly not the only one who notices this kind of vitreous polarization. Recent polls show that the majority of Americans believe that the country it cannot overcome its current divisions. As a professor of human development and family studiesI have researched and written about traumatic and adverse childhood experiences and existential anxiety for over 20 years. Turning to my watch, I was struck by the recognition that both sides…
