What is the optimum age of male fertility in infertile couples?

Background: The results of studies on the effects of age on sperm parameters are controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of age and semen parameters. Methods: In this study 278 men (32.3±6.5 years, range 19 to 65 years) referred to a private medical laboratory to evaluate couple infertility were included from April 2016 to Mar...

What is the optimum stellar rotation rate for a collapsar?

— We consider low angular momentum, neutrino cooled accretion flows onto newborn black holes in the context of the collapsar model for long Gamma Ray Bursts, and find a considerable energy release for rotation rates lower than those usually considered. The efficiency for the transformation of gravitational binding energy into radiation is maximized when the equatorial angular momentum l0 ≃ 2rgc.

P-value: What is and what is not

The misinterpretation and misuse of p-value have been increasing for decades. In March 2016, the American Statistical Association released a statement to warn about the use and interpretation of p-value. In this study, we provided a definition and discussion of p-value and emphasized the importance of its accurate interpretation.    

What is the Clinical Skills Learning Center?

With shorter periods of hospitalazation, fewer patient beds and more health care facilities in the society, patients are now more acutely ill and highly dependent, causing less opportunities for medical students to practice and learn basic clinical skills. On the other hand, enhanced patient rights and other learnig limitations require that professional education provide not only knowledge and ...
