#361 : What Does My Embryo Score Mean? The Relationship Between KIDScore, Life Whisperer AI Score, and Embryo Euploidy

Fertility & Reproduction, 2023
Background and Aims: Many models have been developed for predicting an embryo’s euploidy or implantation potential. These models assign continuous scores to embryos, based on annotation performed by embryologists according to morphokinetic parameters, or

The unpredictably eruptive dynamics of spruce budworm populations in eastern Canada

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
We examine historical population data for spruce budworm from several locations through the period 1930–1997, and use density‐dependent recruitment curves to test whether the pattern of population growth over time is more consistent with Royama's (1984; Ecological Monographs 54:429–462) linear R(t) model of harmonic oscillation at Green River New ...

Geographic variation in walking activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum

Population Ecology, EarlyView.
This study examined whether there is geographic variation in field populations, focusing on the moving activity in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum. Results showed significant differences in moving activity among field populations but no correlation with latitude or meteorological factors.

Embryo utilisation rate and transferable embryo to oocyte ratio correlate positively with livebirth rate but negatively with oocyte number: analysis of 14,156 fresh IVF/ICSI cycles

Journal of Ovarian Research
Background The live birth rates (LBRs) do not rise after a certain number of oocytes are collected in fresh IVF cycles. Although the detrimental effect of high ovarian response on the endometrium has been recognised, the effect of high oocyte yield on ...

Prediction of the lower serum anti-Müllerian hormone threshold for ovarian stimulation prior to in-vitro fertilization using the Elecsys® AMH assay: a prospective observational study

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2019
Background In assisted reproductive technology, prediction of treatment failure remains a great challenge. The development of more sensitive assays for measuring anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) has allowed for the possibility to investigate if a lower ...

#58 : Relationship Between E-Cigarettes (Vaping) Habits and Semen Parameters Among Patient Attending Sabahcare Fertility Centre

Fertility & Reproduction, 2023
Background and Aims: Exposure to nicotine is known to reduce sperm count and motility as well as increasing abnormal parameters. This study aimed to determine the differences of Seminal Fluid Analysis (SFA) between e-cigarettes users (vaping) and non ...

Neutrophil deficiency increases T cell numbers at the site of tissue injury in mice

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In wild‐type mice, injury or acute inflammation induces neutrophil influx followed by macrophage accumulation. Mcl1ΔMyelo (neutrophil‐deficient) mice lack neutrophils, and in response to muscle injury show fewer macrophages and exhibit strikingly elevated T‐cell numbers, primarily non‐conventional “double‐negative” (DN) αβ and γδ T cells.

A comprehensive assessment of predictors of fertility outcomes in men with non-obstructive azoospermia undergoing microdissection testicular sperm extraction

Reproductive Biology and Endocrinology, 2020
Background Microdissection testicular sperm extraction (microTESE) in men with non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA) is the procedure that results in the highest number of sperm cells retrieved for in vitro fertilization (IVF).
