Abstract: The present invention discloses an unbiased “biomarker” method for the prediction of pregnancy success that is detectable in patient follicular fluid (FF) collected during egg retrieval in IVF procedures. Proteins that function in the cellular response to endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress were measured in FF, and data generated using a de-identified, retrospective, unblinded cohort of human FF and matching demographic and pregnancy outcome data showed that FF levels of ER stress effector proteins GRP78 and CHOP, which are indicative of elevated ER stress in either the oocyte, granulosa cells, or other cells of the follicle, are causally related to poor pregnancy outcomes.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a storage device is provided. A device controller with a memory is coupled with the storage device. The memory stores an application with instructions that direct the controller to receive a storage device policy. The instructions further direct the controller to store content from a storage request in accordance with the storage device policy, and record storage information, including at least a content identifier, to the memory. Subsequent to storing the content, the instructions further direct the controller to retrieve the content according to the storage information received in a storage request. According to an implementation, the instructions further provide instruction to refuse a delete request in accordance to the storage information. According to an implementation, the instructions provide direction to store the storage information at a remote location.
