Review: COVID-19 vaccines not tied to lower fertility in men or womenA systematic review and meta-analysis today in Vaccine finds no link between COVID-19 vaccines and infertility in men or women.Researchers at a Rome hospital analyzed 29 studies from China, Israel, Italy, Russia, Turkey, Canada, and the United States until Jun 8, 2022.

Of the studies, 13.8% were deemed of poor quality, 58.6% were of moderate quality, and 27.6% were of good quality.Meta-analysis of studies of men before and after COVID-19 vaccination of any type showed similar sperm motility (44% vs 43%; 5 studies of 298 men), sperm concentration (50.6 million per milliliter [mln/mL] vs 55.4 mln/mL; 8 studies of 451 men), and sperm volume (2.6 vs 2.7 mL; 6 studies of 346 men).Among women, biochemical and clinical pregnancy rates (0.51 vs 0.48; 7 studies and 0.45 vs 0.47; 10 studies, respectively) were comparable among vaccinated and unvaccinated groups.

Biochemical pregnancy is defined as the presence of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), which can be detected as soon as 2 weeks after conception, while clinical signs of a fetus are detected only later.

Levels of estradiol, a hormone that can indicate ovarian function, were also similar in five studies.Fertility markers in men and women were unchanged before and after COVID-19 vaccination of any type (ie, Pfizer/BioNTech, Moderna, or Sputnik V).

Giving school buses green lights improves student safety, reduces fuel consumption: new study

student safety and environmental benefits, according to a new study released Tuesday.Applied Information, a developer of connected, intelligent transportation system solutions, hooked up two school buses, one diesel, and the other propane powered, with Connected Vehicle-to-Everything (C-V2X) technology in Alpharetta, Georgia.The technology allowed the school buses to request green light priority at 62 traffic signals along their routes as they each served students in the Fulton County School System.Data showed that both school buses had "a clear and measurable reduction" in travel time, according to firm Kimley-Horn, which prepared the study report."These solutions applied across the national fleet of approximately 500,000 school buses would prove significant time and fuel savings as well as substantial reductions in CO2 emissions," said Bryan Mulligan, President of Applied Information.Officials also say the technology can help improve student behavior aboard the buses and address the school bus driver shortage that about 86% of the nation’s school districts are experiencing."The pilot showed we can use this technology to make our fleet more efficient and serve more students safely in a shorter amount of time, all while reducing our fuel bill and helping the environment," said Trey Stow, Director of Transportation – Operations for Fulton County Schools.Stow said that the district school buses use roughly around 25,000 gallons of fuel a week.
