Objective: To determine the effect of duration of coasting (Cd), estradiol levels at trigger (E(2)), and level of estradiol drop (E(2)d) on live birth rate (LBR) in cycle outcome.
Design: Retrospective analysis.
Setting: Hospital-based fertility clinic.
Patient(s): A total of 1,068 coasted cycles (5.7% of total) of IVF/ICSI from 1996 to 2008.
Intervention(s): Coasting in IVF/ICSI cycles.
Main Outcome Measure(s): Live birth rate and secondary cycle outcomes.
Result(s): Mean Cd, E(2), and E(2)d were 4.7 days, 11,567 pmol/L, and 9,760 pmol/L, respectively. Maternal age, duration of subfertility, and serum FSH were significantly lower, and AMH (39.7 vs. 15.1 pmol/L) and prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome (31.8% vs. 17.8%) significantly higher, in coasted cycles. Fertilization rate, clinical pregnancy rate, and LBR per cycle and implantation rate of 64.4%, 40.7%, 35.7%, and 24.7%, respectively, were demonstrated, with no significant difference in LBR in cycles coasted for up to 8 days or when divided according to E(2) or E(2)d. Lack of predictive capability on LBR was confirmed by receiver operator curve analysis which demonstrated areas under the curve of 0.51, 0.53, and 0.54 for E(2), Cd, and E(2)d, respectively.
Conclusion(s): Although cycle numbers beyond 6 days are limited, coasting for up to 8 days does not affect LBR, and E(2) and E(2)d levels do not significantly affect cycle outcome.

: The purpose of this research was to create a peak detection algorithm and machine learning model for use in triathlon. The algorithm and model aimed to automatically measure movement cadence in all three disciplines of a triathlon using data from a single inertial measurement unit and to recognise the occurrence and duration of cycling task changes. : Six triathletes were recruited to participate in a triathlon while wearing a single trunk-mounted measurement unit and were filmed throughout.

In patients receiving oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy, resulting in frequent peripheral neuropathy and requiring long-term management, anticancer drug-induced platinum-based peripheral neuropathy (mixed motor, sensory, and autonomic neuropathy) can result in the coasting phenomenon in which the symptoms worsen temporarily after two to three weeks, even after the cessation of the drug. The coasting phenomenon is difficult to manage due to the unpredictable nature of the symptoms. We encountered a patient with grade 3 peripheral neuropathy that developed rapidly in the second cycle after the treatment to switch from mFOLFOX6/bevacizumab to FOLFIRI/aflibercept.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on in vitro production (IVP) of cattle embryos, emphasizing the need for oocyte maturation prior to fertilization and the effects of ovarian stimulation and progesterone (P4) support during oocyte retrieval (OPU).
- Two experiments were conducted involving 10 Holstein heifers to assess the impact of P4 via corpus luteum presence or intravaginal devices (CIDR® and PRID®) on blastocyst yields across multiple OPU cycles.
- Results showed that higher peripheral P4 levels were associated with the PRID® Delta device, and the interaction between CL presence and P4 device influenced blastocyst yield, particularly in cycles without a CL.
This article addresses the distributed multiple fault isolation, modeling, and the closed-loop fault estimation under asynchronous switching for high speed train (HST) with switched dynamics, which is composed of traction, coasting, and braking. First, directed-graph-quantum-learning-based multiple-agent system (MAS) classifiers are introduced to characterize the joints effects of multiple faults. Some sufficient conditions are derived under the condition that the multiple fault topology contains a directed spanning tree and cycle edge, and these conditions guarantee that the multiple fault isolation problem can be solved under randomized learning techniques.

Background: Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a potentially serious complication of ovarian stimulation in assisted reproduction technology (ART). It is characterised by enlarged ovaries and an acute fluid shift from the intravascular space to the third space, resulting in bloating, increased risk of venous thromboembolism, and decreased organ perfusion. Most cases are mild, but forms of moderate or severe OHSS appear in 3% to 8% of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) cycles.
