Background Our objective was to investigate the existence of an optimal period for oocyte retrieval in regards to the clinical pregnancy occurrence after the administration of recombinant human chorionic gonadotropin (rhCG) (Ovitrelle®). Methods We studied the digital records of 3362 middle eastern couples who underwent in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment between 2019 and 2021. Results Through statistical testing, we found that there is a significant positive correlation between the oocyte retrieval period and the clinical pregnancy occurrence up to the 37th hour, where retrieval at the 37th hour was found to provide the most optimal outcome, especially in the case of gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) long protocol. Conclusions This cohort study recommends retrieval at hour 37 after ovulation triggering under the described conditions.
The delivery of drugs to specific target tissues and cells in the brain poses a significant challenge in brain therapeutics, primarily due to a limited understanding of how nanoparticle properties influence drug biodistribution and off-target organ accumulation. This study addresses the limitations of previous research by presenting a novel and innovative approach that utilizes a large dataset incorporating both numerical and categorical features. Unlike previous studies, which often suffer from inadequate data and accuracy, our focus is specifically on brain delivery in vivo testing. Through a systematic analysis of 403 data points, including measurements of brain and plasma area under the curve (AUC) following nanoparticle (NP) administration, we extensively characterized the chemical and physical properties of loaded drugs and NPs as carriers. Utilizing machine learning techniques and comprehensive literature data analysis, we developed accurate models for predicting NP delivery to the brain. Our analysis employed various linear models, with a particular emphasis on the superior performance of linear mixed-effects models. These models demonstrated exceptional accuracy, as indicated by high R2 and adjusted R2 scores, in predicting the delivery of NPs to the brain. This breakthrough provides a valuable tool for guiding the design of nanocarriers in clinical applications, resulting in reduced experimental costs and the mitigation of unintended biological outcomes. To validate our models, we synthesised and administered two distinct NP formulations via intranasal (IN) and intravenous (IV) routes, further substantiating the efficacy of our proposed models. Among the various modeling approaches, linear mixed-effects models exhibited superior performance in capturing underlying patterns.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
