Objectives: The present study investigated the relationship between fatty acid levels in whole blood in women undergoing in vitro fertilization and four successive assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed on data from a prospective cohort study conducted between 2014 and 2016.
Results: Participants were 238 women undergoing in vitro fertilization and participating in a study on the role of lifestyle habits and diet in ART outcomes.
Offshore Freshened Groundwater (OFG) reservoirs are gaining attention, as evidence suggests they are more prevalent worldwide than previously thought. OFG systems are generally classified as either passive, a relic of ancient, lower sea levels, or as active, with an onshore-offshore hydrogeologic connection and associated discharge offshore. Previous studies on the mechanisms of OFG were conducted in various hydrogeologic settings, but the role of faults remains understudied.

Specifically, we present a randomized measurement scheme modulated by the depth of a random quantum circuit in one spatial dimension. This scheme interpolates between two known classical shadows schemes based on random Pauli measurements and random Clifford measurements.

Even though rarely encountered in clinical practice, they can cause a spectrum of different conditions ranging from mild gastrointestinal syndrome to extraintestinal diseases, of which bacteremia and wound infections are the most severe. Risk factors for severe disease are cirrhosis, neoplasms, and diabetes mellitus.
