Retrospective analysis to determine the size of follicles on day of trigger contributing most to the number of mature oocytes retrieved using generalized linear regression and random forest models applied to data from IVF cycles — in which either hCG, GnRHa, or kisspeptin trigger was used. Follicle sizes on the day of trigger most likely to yield a mature oocyte. Using simulated follicle size profiles of patients with 20 follicles on the day of trigger, our model predicts that the number of oocytes retrieved would increase from a mean 9.

Follicle Size on Day of Trigger Most Likely to Yield a Mature Oocyte
He may have floundered during young adulthood, but Henry David Thoreau turned out pretty okay. The buddy he crashed with, for the record, was Ralph Waldo Emerson. And his path was not atypical of the 19th century, at least for a white man in the United States. Young people often went through periods of independence interspersed with periods of dependence. And yet these are still the venerated markers of adulthood today, and when people take too long to acquire them, or eschew them all together, it becomes a reason to lament that no one is a grown-up. Age alone does not an adult make. But what does?
When Are You Really an Adult?
Design: Retrospective analysis to determine the size of follicles on day of trigger contributing most to the number of mature oocytes retrieved using generalized linear regression and random forest models applied to data from IVF cycles — in which either hCG, GnRHa, or kisspeptin trigger was used. Main outcome measure: Follicle sizes on the day of trigger most likely to yield a mature oocyte. Results: Follicles 12—19 mm on the day of trigger contributed the most to the number of oocytes and mature oocytes retrieved. Comparing the tertile of patients with the highest proportion of follicles on the day of trigger 12—19 mm, with the tertile of patients with the lowest proportion within this size range, revealed increases of 4. Using simulated follicle size profiles of patients with 20 follicles on the day of trigger, our model predicts that the number of oocytes retrieved would increase from a mean 9.
Nancy M. Purpose: Pathological gambling is an increasing public health concern, but very little is known about this disorder in older adults. This study evaluated gambling and psychosocial problems across age groups in treatment-seeking gamblers. Design and Methods: At intake to gambling treatment programs, pathological gamblers completed the Addiction Severity Index ASI and gambling questionnaires. Differences in demographics, gambling variables, and ASI composite scores were compared across the groups.
