AI Improves Results of In-Vitro Fertilization
Eran Eshed, CEO and Co-founder of Fairtility, cites research showing that 48% of the work done by embyrologists during in-vitro fertilization is administrative. Fairtility was founded to automate this tedious work, which not only makes the embryologist more efficient, but eliminates the many errors caused by manual work. Furthermore, by taking data from EHRs and incubators—about 2.5 million data points in each pregnancy cycle—Fairtility can analyze the embryos’ viability more accurately than the embryologist. (The embryologist checks results to correct occasional errors.) Another benefit of Fairtility’s au...

So Much to Do, So Little Selenium Needed
You may know that antioxidants can help protect your cells from oxidative damage, but do you know about selenium—an element often found in special proteins called antioxidant enzymes? Selenium is essential to your body, which means you must get it from the food you eat. But it’s a trace element so you only need a small amount to benefit from its effects. In addition to its antioxidant properties, it’s also important for reproduction, DNA synthesis, and hormone metabolism. In our bodies, selenium works in antioxidant enzymes to help protect us from oxidative damage. The element is also found in antidandruf...
