Day 5 fresh blastocyst transfers results in higher clinical pregnancy and live birth rates than day 6 fresh blastocyst transfer. This study aimed to identify the strategy to adopt with slowly developing blastocysts. Should not fully expanded blastocyst on day 5 be transferred on day 5, or when expanded on day 6, or be frozen? 1093 single blastocyst transfer cycles performed between January 2016 and December 2018 were divided in 4 groups: day 5 fresh transfers of full or expanded blastocyst (≥B3), day 5 fresh transfers of slowly developing blastocysts (B1 or B2), day 6 fresh transfers of expanded blastocysts (≥B4), day 6 frozen-thawed single blastocyst transfer cycles. Clinical pregnancy rate and live birth rate were significantly higher with fresh expanded blastocyst transfer on day 5 than in any other group. No statistical difference could be found between the other 3 groups. Slowly developing day 5 blastocysts have poorer implantation potential than expanded day 5 blastocysts but can be fresh transferred on day 5 rather than being cultured until day 6 for transfer or freezing when no expanded blastocyst is available on day 5.

Background: Shift work is associated with irregular dietary habits and poor nutritional intake, increasing the risk of chronic diseases. This study aimed to assess dietary quality and nutritional intake according to shift work status among Korean adult workers.
Methods: Data from 15,121 adult workers aged ≥20 years from the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) conducted between 2013 and 2021 were analyzed.

Introduction: Inflammation and oxidative stress can seriously endanger the health and growth of beef cattle. Georgi (SB) has significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidative effects. However, studies on the application of SB stems and leaves as roughage in animal husbandry are limited.

Purpose: Prior studies in fresh embryo transfer IVF cycles have associated elevated serum progesterone level on day of ovulatory trigger, particularly if ≥ 1.5 ng/ml, with decreased pregnancy rates. A similar association has been found in intrauterine insemination (IUI) cycles using gonadotropins for ovulation induction.

Background: Hematopoietic progenitor cells (HPCs) and mononuclear cells (MNCs) are critical components of cell-based therapies, including bone marrow transplantation and regenerative treatments. Evaluation of the characteristics of these products during collection, storage, and transport is essential for maintaining cell viability and functionality. In this study, we evaluated the functional and molecular stability of samples collected for the evaluation of fresh HPC and MNC products.

The latest studies suggest a beneficial influence of husbandry factors, including increased space allowance, access to perches, and roughage, on the welfare of chickens; however, their effects on meat quality are divergent. Two experiments (EXP1 and EXP2) were performed to determine the husbandry factors affecting the meat quality of 42-day-old Ross 308 chickens (n = 180). The examined factors in EXP1 were stocking density (35 kg/m2 vs 41 kg/m2) and enrichment (access to perches), whereas in EXP2, enrichment (perches) and access to roughage (dried lucerne) were examined.
