Article Abstract
Background: Recent studies have attempted to improve laboratory efficiency while preserving clinical outcomes by shortening the time to warm cryopreserved embryos, though it is still unclear for oocytes. This study thus aimed to evaluate the effects of a modified warming protocol (MWP) on embryonic development and pregnancy outcomes of vitrified donor oocytes.
Methods: The data of this retrospective cohort study were collected from women who underwent donor cycles (fresh or vitrified oocytes) at Lee Women's Hospital, Taiwan, from January 2019 to August 2024. The sample included 13,103 donor oocytes, divided into three groups: conventional warming protocol (CWP) group (n = 8506), MWP group (n = 980), and fresh group (n = 3617).
Results: Survival rates after oocyte warming were similar between the CWP and MWP groups (93.7% vs. 93.9%, P > 0.05). Oocyte degeneration rates post-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) were similar for vitrified-warmed and fresh oocytes (2.7-3.4% vs. 2.8%). Normal fertilization was lower for vitrified-warmed oocytes (79.5-79.6% vs. 83.0%, P < 0.05), while abnormal fertilization was higher (9.1-10.1% vs. 3.3%). Blastocyst formation and usable blastocyst formation were lower in the CWP group (57.5% and 35.4%) compared to MWP (77.3% and 51.4%) and fresh groups (69.2% and 48.5%). Ongoing pregnancy/live birth was higher in the MWP group than in the CWP group (66.7% vs. 50.4%, P < 0.05). Multivariate analysis showed a positive association between MWP and usable blastocyst formation (adjusted incidence rate ratio = 1.423, 95% CI = 1.268 to 1.597, P < 0.001), as well as ongoing pregnancy/live birth (adjusted odds ratio = 1.899, 95% CI = 1.002 to 3.6, P < 0.05).
Conclusions: This study suggests that the MWP enhances the blastocyst formation potential and pregnancy outcomes of vitrified-warmed oocytes, making it similar to that of fresh oocytes. Thus, the MWP may replace the CWP as the standard protocol for optimizing donor cycle outcomes.
Clinical Trial Number: Not applicable.

Zygotes are used to create genetically modified animals by electroporation using the CRISPR-Cas9 system. Such zygotes in rats are obtained from superovulated female rats after mating. Recently, we reported that in vivo-fertilized zygotes had higher cryotolerance and developmental ability than in vitro-fertilized zygotes in Sprague Dawley (SD) and Fischer 344 rats.

Background: Fentanyl is used in some pediatric practices with a goal of suppressing 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake in brown fat.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the frequency, intensity, and distribution of brown fat uptake in warmed children undergoing 18F-FDG PET/CT with and without premedication with fentanyl. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This retrospective study included children (< 18 years old) who underwent 18F-FDG-PET from 2014 to 2024 at a center that routinely warms patients and uses intravenous fentanyl for brown fat suppression for most patients.

Understanding fish physiological responses to thermal acclimation is crucial for addressing global climate change threats to aquaculture sustainability. We investigated lipid and fatty acids in the muscle and liver of the catfish Horabagrus brachysoma acclimated to 26 (control), 31, 33 and 36 °C for 30 days. The total lipid, phospholipid, triglyceride, and free fatty acid significantly decreased, while cholesterol significantly increased (P < 0.
