The millimeter/submillimeter spectrum of magnesium chloride (MgCl) has been observed in two new electronic excited states, (3)Σ and (4)Σ, using direct absorption methods. The molecule was synthesized in a mixture of Cl, argon, and magnesium vapor. For the (3)Σ state, multiple rotational transitions were measured in the = 0 level for all six isotopologues (MgCl, MgCl, MgCl, MgCl, MgCl, and MgCl), as well as up to = 13 for MgCl.

Both PCOS and IVF are associated with an increased risk of obstetric complications. To compare preconception endocrine profiles and symptoms, as well as obstetric outcomes of PCOS patients who achieved successful pregnancies with and without IVF treatment.

Objective: To establish the sensitivity and test-retest reliability of various FOG-provoking tasks for presence and severity of FOG, with (ON) and without (OFF) dopaminergic medication.
