The diagnosis of MM was confirmed using the International Myeloma Working Group IMWGG) criteria [ 5].
Normal distribution of the data within all groups (dominant, nondominant, F15 mm, F25 mm, T15 mm, and T25 mm) was confirmed for each StO2 parameter using the D'Agostino and Pearson omnibus normality test.
Briefly, 6 mg Estradiol Valerate was started from Day 3 for 10 15 days, then luteal support was applied when a satisfactory endometrial development (thickness ≥8 mm) was confirmed with ultrasound.
A type 2 tumor (40 × 50 mm) is seen in the resected rectum Fig. 2 Preoperative findings of abdominal contrast CT. a An enlarged retroperitoneal lymph node (28 mm in diameter) is confirmed below the aortic bifurcation (arrow).
Given that the MM cells grow in a BM environment, this model can be used to investigate hypoxia-related questions of the MM disease, provided the hypoxic nature of the MM-invaded BM is confirmed.
Importantly, the MM cells grow in a (human) BM environment and, if the hypoxic nature of this MM-invaded BM is confirmed, this model can be used to investigate questions related to hypoxia in MM.
The preclinical evidence, thus, is confirmed in MM patients treated with bortezomib and more recently with carfilzomib.
If at Stimulation Days 8 10 not at least one follicle ≥11 mm is visible on TVUS, the cycle should be cancelled due to insufficient ovarian response; if one follicle ≥17 mm is observed and tubal patency is confirmed, rescue intrauterine insemination will be performed.

Over the following 3 days the joint was distracted twice a day by 0.5 mm, bringing the total distraction to 5 mm, which was confirmed by x-ray examination, and adjusted if necessary.
