The H3 subtype of avian influenza virus (AIV) stands out as one of the most prevalent subtypes, posing a significant threat to public health. In this study, a novel triple-reassortant H3N3 AIV designated A/chicken/China/16/2023 (H3N3), was isolated from a sick chicken in northern China. The complete genome of the isolate was determined using next-generation sequencing, and the AIV-like particles were confirmed via transmission electron microscopy.

Background: The change of morphokinetic pattern in aneuploid embryos will facilitate the non-invasive selection of euploid embryos. In this study, we investigated the impact of different chromosomal abnormalities on the morphokinetic patterns of embryonic development.

Methods: Our cohort includes 939 time-lapse preimplantation genetic testing cycles performed between January 2019 and July 2022 at a single academic fertility center, with a total of 2876 biopsied blastocysts.

During the in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer process, some expectant mothers may not have good embryos to choose from before the embryo transfer. Recommendations for this condition are currently unclear, and relevant clinical and neonatal outcomes are still lacking. This study analyzed the outcomes of poor-quality embryo transfers, including fetal outcomes, in the fresh cycle and frozen-thawed embryo transfer cycle.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study aimed to investigate how central and general obesity contribute to the risk of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) among 251,143 participants aged 39-71 from the UK Biobank, tracked over a median of 13.8 years.
  • - Findings revealed that central obesity significantly increased the risk of POP by 48%, accounting for about 21.7% of POP cases, while overweight individuals without central obesity had a 23% higher risk, responsible for about 2.0% of cases.
  • - The risk associated with central obesity differed by age and history of hysterectomy, highlighting that younger individuals and those without a hysterectomy were more affected by central obesity's impact on POP. *
