Objective: The aim of the present prospective study was to evaluate which ovarian reserve marker would be more reliable as the quality of the A + B embryos (day 3 and blastocyst).

Methods: We ran a prospective study with 124 infertile women, aged 24-48 years, from 2017 to 2018. The patients were divided into 3 groups according to age and the subgroups were compared for AMH, AFC, number of A+B embryos. New division of the 3 groups was performed based on the AMH, and the subgroups were compared for age, AFC and number of A+B embryos. Finally, we divided the patients into 3 groups, based on the AFC, and we compared the subgroups for age, AMH and number of A+B embryos. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.

Results: When the 124 patients were divided according to age, we found a significant fall in an A+B embryo quality (day3; blastocyst) after 35 years (p<0.038; p<0.035), and more severely after 37 years (p<0.032; p<0.027). When the 124 patients were divided according to AMH, there was a significant fall in A+B embryo quality (day 3; blastocyst), with AMH<1ng/ml (p<0.023; p<0.021). When the 124 patients were divided according to AFC, there was a significant fall in A+B embryo quality (day 3; blastocyst) with AFC<7 (p<0.025; p<0.023). These markers had significant associations with embryo quality (p<0.005).

Conclusion: Age, AFC and AMH have significant associations with A +B embryo quality on day 3 and blastocyst.

Article Synopsis
  • Monoallelic HMBS variants cause acute intermittent porphyria (AIP), while biallelic variants may lead to a less understood condition called HMBS-related leukoencephalopathy.
  • An 8-year-old girl exhibited symptoms such as hypotonia, vision issues, and abnormal brain activity, prompting genetic testing that initially pointed to a different variant before identifying a homozygous HMBS variant.
  • This case highlights that HMBS-related leukoencephalopathy can occur without classic porphyria symptoms, expanding the understanding of this genetic disease's presentation.

Karnataka state has the second highest rainfed agricultural land in India, where agricultural output relies heavily on rainfall. The Shimsha basin, a sub-basin of Cauvery in the state, comes under a semi-arid region and predominantly consists of rainfed agricultural land. Rainfall patterns have changed dramatically with time resulting in frequent floods and droughts.

Blue jack mackerel, , is the fifth most landed fish species in mainland Portugal, but information on its reproductive biology is scarce. From September 2018 to August 2019, 626 specimens were collected from commercial vessels to clarify the reproductive strategy of the population off the west coast of Portugal. The proportion and length range of males and females were similar.

species (goji), belonging to Solanaceae, are widely spread in the arid to semiarid environments of Eurasia, Africa, North and South America, among which most species have affinal drug and diet functions, resulting in their potential to be a superior healthy food. However, compared with other crop species, scientific research on breeding species lags behind. This review systematically introduces the present germplasm resources, cytological examination and molecular-assisted breeding progress in species.
