Testosterone deficiency can manifest in various ways, including fatigue, poor memory, decreased libido, and erectile dysfunction. The AUA guideline recommends using a total testosterone level below 300 ng/dL as a diagnostic cutoff, confirmed by two separate early morning tests. Many men are prescribed testosterone without proper testing, leading to inappropriate treatment and potential risks.

Zinc can inhibit viral replication, reduce lung injury, and enhance the immune system’s response to infections, making it a promising candidate for supporting existing COVID-19 treatments. However, long-term zinc supplementation can lead to copper deficiency, potentially resulting in anemia and neurological issues; therefore, caution is essential.

The recent study, published in Neuroscience, explores how DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and exercise work together to enhance brain function and cognitive recovery post-injury. The combination of DHA and exercise significantly improved cognitive function and brain health markers, suggesting a powerful tool in TBI recovery. This synergy offers a promising approach for TBI patients.

The study found that national-level talents and senior academic titles significantly boost research output. In contrast, associate senior titles showed a less clear, sometimes negative, correlation with research productivity. This suggests that higher academic titles may provide more opportunities and resources, enabling researchers to contribute more effectively to their fields.
