Research Question: Among women who considered planned oocyte cryopreservation, does decision regret differ between those who pursued planned oocyte cryopreservation and those who did not?
Design: A survey was e-mailed to all women who presented for an initial consultation for planned oocyte cryopreservation between January 2016 and December 2021 using a secure REDCap platform. The survey comprised questions on demographics, reproductive planning and the validated Decision Regret Scale (DRS). Univariable and multivariable models were fitted to compare decision regret in the group who had proceeded with planned oocyte cryopreservation with the group who had not.
Article Synopsis
- Nitrogen adsorption isotherms and the BET model are commonly used to estimate the surface area of biochar, but they often yield low surface area results that don't align with the material's high sorption capacities.
- In contrast, this study suggests that water adsorption may provide a more accurate estimation of biochar surface area, as it showed better alignment with properties like cation exchange capacity.
- Results indicated that while nitrogen gas adsorption energies were higher, the nitrogen surface areas were lower compared to those derived from water vapour, showing how pyrolysis temperature affects these measurements differently.
In this publication various serum biochemistry and haematology parameters were determined from blood samples obtained from captive adult individuals of an exotic quail species, the mountain quail (Oreortyx pictus, Douglas, 1829). Venipuncture was performed in the second half of the breeding season from six roosters (males) and seven hens (females). During the examination, in addition to the haematological elements, basic parameters of serum enzyme levels, the products of protein metabolism, uric acid and the most important ions were monitored.

Urban rats are significant reservoirs of zoonotic endoparasites, posing serious health risks to humans. This study aimed to detect common endoparasites in wild brown rats (Rattus norvegicus) in Budapest, addressing the current lack of endoparasite surveys in Hungary. Carcasses of 131 rats collected following extermination were examined.

- The study discusses the symptoms and pathological issues caused by avian astrovirus in a pheasant colony, highlighting enteritis in chicks and acute nephrosis.
- The presence of the virus was confirmed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing to detect its genome.
- Genome sequencing revealed that the isolated avian astrovirus shares the same ORF-1b gene as turkey astrovirus 1 (TAstV1), indicating a close genetic relationship.
