A recent study conducted across ten reproductive centers in China suggests that the widely-used fertility treatment known as intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) may not provide better outcomes than conventional in-vitro fertilization (IVF) in cases of non-severe male infertility. The findings published in The Lancet journal are expected to influence clinical practices and patient choices by emphasizing the importance of tailoring fertility treatments to specific medical profiles.
ICSI was introduced in 1992 and was initially designed to overcome severe male infertility by directly in ..read more

The lifetime risk of atrial fibrillation (a heart condition that causes an irregular and often abnormally fast heart rate) has increased from one in four to one in three over the past two decades, finds a study from Denmark in The BMJ today.

As such, the researchers say stroke and heart failure prevention strategies are needed for people with atrial fibrillation.
