Mind the Step: An Artificial Intelligence-Based Monitoring Platform for Animal Welfare.

We present an artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced monitoring framework designed to assist personnel in evaluating and maintaining animal welfare using a modular architecture. This framework integrates multiple deep learning models to automatically compute metrics relevant to assessing animal well-being. Using deep learning for AI-based vision adapted from industrial applications and human behavioral analysis, the framework includes modules for markerless animal identification and health status assessment (e.

Ovarian 25OH-vitamin D production in young women affected by polycystic ovary syndrome.

Introduction: Vitamin D is involved in the regulatory mechanisms of ovarian function and is frequently low in PCOS patients. Since obesity and hyperinsulinemic state negatively influenced vitamin D levels, therefore, we evaluated the production of vitamin D at the ovarian level only in lean and normoinsulinemic PCOS subjects. Basal, GnRH analogue-induced ovarian production of 25OH-vitamin D (VitD) and a direct sampling at ovarian vein level were investigated.

Is dienogest the best medical treatment for ovarian endometriomas? Results of a multicentric case control study.

Ovarian endometriomas are common manifestations of endometriosis. Surgical excision has been shown to potentially decrease ovarian reserves. In this prospective study, we included 81 patients with ovarian endometriosis.

Effects of chronic endometritis therapy on in vitro fertilization outcome in women with repeated implantation failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Objective: To evaluate the impact of antibiotic therapy for chronic endometritis (CE) on IVF outcome.

Design: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Setting: Not applicable.

Pituitary block with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone antagonist during intrauterine insemination cycles: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomised controlled trials.

Background: Several randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have investigated the usefulness of pituitary block with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists during intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles, with conflicting results.

Objective: The aim of the present systematic review and meta-analysis of RCTs was to evaluate the effectiveness of GnRH antagonist administration as an intervention to improve the success of IUI cycles.

Search Strategy: Electronic databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, EMBASE, Sciencedirect) and clinical registers were searched from their inception until October 2017.
