Sparse-view synchrotron X-ray tomographic reconstruction with learning-based sinogram synthesis.

Synchrotron radiation can be used as a light source in X-ray microscopy to acquire a high-resolution image of a microscale object for tomography. However, numerous projections must be captured for a high-quality tomographic image to be reconstructed; thus, image acquisition is time consuming. Such dense imaging is not only expensive and time consuming but also results in the target receiving a large dose of radiation.

The live birth rate of vitrified oocyte accumulation for managing diminished ovarian reserve: a retrospective cohort study.

Background: Vitrified M-II oocyte accumulation for later simultaneous insemination has been used for managing POR. Our study aimed to determine whether vitrified oocyte accumulation strategy improves live birth rate (LBR) for managing diminished ovarian reserve (DOR).

Methods: A retrospective study included 440 women with DOR fulfilling Poseidon classification groups 3 and 4, defined as the presence of serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) hormone level < 1.

Comparison of clinical outcomes between conventional in vitro fertilization and intracytoplasmic sperm injection in poor responders with only single oocyte retrieved.

Objective: To compare the clinical outcomes between conventional insemination (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in poor responders with only a single oocyte retrieved.

Materials And Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study. Couples who were treated with assisted reproductive technology (ART) with a single oocyte retrieved in Mackay Memorial Hospital from 1996 to 2016 were recruited.

Light-field microscopy with temporal focusing multiphoton illumination for scanless volumetric bioimaging.

A temporal focusing multiphoton illumination (TFMI) method is proposed for achieving selective volume illumination (SVI) (i.e., illuminating only the volume of interest) in light-field microscopy (LFM).
