BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: Endometriosis (EM) is linked to cardiovascular disease (CVD). However, whether this finding can be applied to the Taiwanese population remained unanswered. To investigate the association between EM and major adverse card…
Abstract Background: Endometriosis is linked to major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE). However, whether this finding can be applied to the Asian population remained unanswered. Additionally, results are still incon…
BACKGROUND: Many factors from the oocyte/sperm or the process of fertilization may affect the zygote formation. The zygote score (Z-score) describes the quality of a human zygote based on its pronuclear morphology, nucleolar precursor bodie…
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to explore the cycle-to-cycle reproducibility of serum progesterone level and progesterone/estradiol (P/E2) ratio in the final step of triggering oocyte maturation in patients undergoing repeated …
BACKGROUND: To investigate the impact of previous ovarian surgery on ovarian reserve in patients with endometriosis. METHODS: A total of 829 female patients were recruited. Their medical records were reviewed retrospectively. Patients who …
BACKGROUND: The objective of this study was to determine the gene expression profiles of the androgen/androgen receptor (AR) and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)/ Sry-related high-mobility group box 9 (SOX9) pathways in granulosa-luteal cells f…
Objective To assess the feasibility and safety of U-shape excision of body of uterus in the therapy of diffuse adenomyosis. Methods Seventy patients with diffuse adenomyosis were evenly randomized to study group(U-shape-excision group) cont…
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influences of tropical weather on patients with different ovarian responses in the treatment of assisted reproductive technology. METHODS: Six-hundred fourty-seven women underwent thei…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To review laparoscopic-assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH) cases for instances of small intestine injury. DESIGN: Retrospective review (Canadian Task Force Classification II-2). SETTING: Tertiary care university hospital…
PURPOSE: This study was conducted to determine the gene expression of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs), their receptors, and binding proteins (IGFBPs) in human luteinized granulosa cells collected during ovum retrieval. METHODS: cDNA pro…
BACKGROUND: While some research has been reported on the use of transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration of ovarian cysts, none has been reported for pseudocysts. Sometimes laparotomy patients experience recurrent pelvic psuedocysts for wh…
