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.

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.
