Unlabelled: The purpose of the present multicenter study was to investigate whether an artificial insemination with donor sperm (AID) procedure after intra-couple intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failure offers a significant chance of pregnancy and to identify prognostic factors for pregnancy after an AID procedure. An eleven-year retrospective multicenter study was conducted among 13 Centre d'Etude et de Conservation des Oeufs et du Sperme (CECOS) centers. A total of 319 couples having undergone an AID procedure after intra-conjugal ICSI failure were included in this study; a total of 1,159 AID and 1,011 intra-conjugal ICSI cycles were performed. Among the prognostics parameters, the parity and the embryo quality could not be adequately addressed, therefore the parity was not included in the statistical analysis and the embryo quality has been presented as preliminary observations. The pregnancy rate per cycle was 12.0% (139/1,159) and the overall AID pregnancy rate per couple was 43.6% (139/319). Normal or oligoasthenoteratozoospermia (OAT) semen and women aged 34 years or above at the time of AID procedure obtained the lowest AID clinical pregnancy rate. Azoospermia or cryptozoospermia semen and women aged below 34 years obtained the highest AID clinical pregnancy rate. In conclusion, the transition to the AID procedure after intra-conjugal ICSI failure allows such couples to obtain a pregnancy, however after each ART failure AID transition should be proposed according to the woman's age and sperm characteristics.

Department of Infectious Diseases, The First Hospital of China Medical University, Shenyang, 110001, China.
Objectives: Delayed diagnosis of patients with Fever of Unknown Origin has long been a daunting clinical challenge. Onco-mNGS, which can accurately diagnose infectious agents and identify suspected tumor signatures by analyzing host chromosome copy number changes, has been widely used to assist identifying complex etiologies. However, the application of Onco-mNGS to improve FUO etiological screening has never been studied before.

Background: Cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and N-terminal B-type natriuretic propeptide (proBNP) are mainly used as biomarkers to diagnose specific conditions of the heart, but they also have predictive ability. Our aim was to study their associations with cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in an older population in non-acute conditions.
Methods: A population-based study with a ten-year follow-up.
Mouth Rinsing and Ingesting Unpleasant Salty or Bitter Solutions After Heavy-Intensity Cycling Does Not Influence Sprint Performance or Knee-Extensor Force in Trained Cyclists.

School of Health Sciences, Western Sydney University, Campbelltown, NSW, Australia.
Purpose: The present study investigated the effect of unpleasant salty or bitter tastes on cycling sprint performance and knee-extensor force characteristics in different fatigue states.
Methods: Following a familiarization session, 11 trained male cyclists completed 3 experimental trials (salty, bitter, and water) in a randomized crossover order. In each trial, participants cycled at 85% of the respiratory compensation point for 45 minutes and then, after a 5-minute rest, completed a 1-minute sprint.
Outcomes Associated With Blastomycosis in Solid Organ and Hematopoietic Cell Transplant Recipients.
Transpl Infect Dis

Introduction: With reports of expanding epidemiology of blastomycosis across the United States, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and outcomes associated with blastomycosis in solid organ transplant (SOT) and hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series of adult SOT and HCT recipients at a tertiary care medical center between January 1, 2005 and September 30, 2023. Cases were defined as culture-proven blastomycosis.
Background: The use of liquid biopsy of total cell-free DNA (cfDNA) to identify otherwise undetectable cancers has attracted interest; however, its efficacy remains unknown. We explored whether analysis using total cfDNA is efficacious for Japanese patients with oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC).
Methods: We collected total cfDNA from nine patients with OSCC preoperatively, 1 month postoperatively, and every 3 months thereafter to analyze this association.
