Article Synopsis
- Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) and primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) significantly contribute to female infertility, with a recent study finding a genetic cause in 29.3% of POI cases.
- A prospective study of 120 patients with unexplained DOR revealed a 24.2% diagnostic yield using advanced sequencing technology to identify genes related to various biological pathways.
- Findings indicated that impaired oocyte quality is linked to meiosis/DNA repair genes, and the study supports the need for genetic testing as a routine part of infertility diagnosis and a potential predictor for progression to POI.
Background: Physical activity (PA) and weight management are critical for cardiovascular disease (CVD) secondary prevention. However, PA adherence during or after cardiac rehabilitation is low. Here, we assess the feasibility and acceptability of the Australian football-themed Aussie Fans in Training (Aussie-FIT) program and associated trial procedures when adapted for men with CVD.

These can be homomorphic (typically with many different allelic specificities) or can accompany flower heteromorphism (mostly with just two specificities and corresponding floral types). The SI system of the Oleaceae family is unusual, with the long-term maintenance of only two specificities but often without flower morphology differences.

Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study used data from 4597 transgender or non-binary respondents from the 2008-2009 National Transgender Discrimination Survey. Respondents reported if they had ever experienced harassment, physical violence or sexual assault at work specifically because of their gender identity.
