The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between strict morphology as assessed on the initial semen analysis during fertility workup and pregnancy rates after intrauterine insemination. This is a retrospective study of couples undergoing intrauterine insemination from 2007 to 2012. Couple characteristics and semen analysis parameters were recorded and evaluated. Risk ratios (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated, accounting for within-couple (cluster)...

CONCLUSIONS: This study contributes to the application of self-determination theory in promoting the use of smart technology for health management among older adults. The results highlight the critical role of intrinsic motivation-particularly competence-in older adults' adoption of smart health wearables. While privacy concerns diminish motivation, health consciousness fosters it. The study results offer valuable implications for designing technologies that align with older adults' motivations,...

Total ankle replacement (TAR) is a treatment for end stage ankle arthritis. Patient specific instrumentation (PSI) has been used and shown to allow for accurate placement and alignment in TAR in the coronal and sagittal plane. PSI systems are available and use different anatomic landmarks for the cutting guides. This is a retrospective matched case control study comparing accuracy in alignment using 2 different PSI systems. The case series uses a medial malleolar landmark (MM Group), and each...

CONCLUSIONS: These results support our hypotheses and suggest that administering amikacin systemically and via IVRLP as described can achieve therapeutic plasma and synovial fluid concentrations in neonatal foals.

Gene model for the ortholog of Regulator of cullins 1a ( Roc1a ) in the Drosophila eugracilis Apr. 2013 (BCM-HGSC/Deug_2.0, DeugGB2) Genome Assembly (GenBank Accession: GCA_000236325.2). This ortholog was characterized as part of a developing dataset to study the evolution of the Insulin/insulin-like growth factor signaling pathway (IIS) across the genus Drosophila using the Genomics Education Partnership gene annotation protocol for Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences.
