BACKGROUND: Endometrial fibrosis can disrupt the uterine junctional zone and lead to infertility. Accurate and noninvasive evaluation of junctional zone alterations is important to clinical treatment. Although conventional T2-weighted imagi…
OBJECTIVE: To assess uterine peristalsis using cine magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with different degrees of endometrial fibrosis. DESIGN: A prospective observational cohort study. SUBJECTS: A total of 75 patients with sever…
Recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), defined as two or more consecutive pregnancy losses, affects 1%-5% of couples and poses a significant challenge to reproductive health. Despite its prevalence, the underlying etiology remains elusive in…
Since the birth of the first infant conceived through assisted reproductive technology (ART) in 1978, over 10 million individuals worldwide have been born using these methods. ART has offered hope to many facing infertility. However, concer…
Endometrial fibrosis can lead to uterine infertility. Accurate staging of endometrial fibrosis is crucial for developing treatment plans and performing dynamic follow-ups. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of radiomics models bas…
INTRODUCTION: Intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) are one of the most common causes of uterine infertility. Hysteroscopic adhesiolysis is the primary treatment for IUA, but the rate of IUA recurrence is high in moderate to severe cases. While tra…
Mucinous ovarian cancer (MOC) is characterized by high malignancy, poor prognosis and a high recurrence rate. Surgical adjuvant chemotherapy is the main treatment for MOC. The recurrence rate of advanced mucinous ovarian cancer following s…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of the combination of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), mifepristone, and levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) in adenomyosis treatment. METHODS: HIFU treatment was per…
High-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) is effective for the ablation of uterine fibroids. However, no research has indicated whether HIFU ablation of uterine fibroids might be improved by application of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (…
Infertility is a global reproductive disorder which is caused by a variety of complex diseases. Infertility affects the individual, family, and community through physical, psychological, social and economic consequences. The results from re…
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory syndrome and nearly 6%-10% of women are affected by it during the reproductive period. Previous studies have proved that microRNAs (miRNAs) are implicated in the pathogenesis of ovarian endometriosis.…
BACKGROUND: Intrauterine adhesions (IUA) are the most common cause of uterine infertility and are caused by endometrium fibrotic regeneration following severe damage to the endometrium. Although current stem cell treatment options using dif…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical usefulness of the microbubble contrast agent SonoVue in enhancing high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for the treatment of adenomyosis. METHODS: A total of 102 patients with adenomyosis, assessed fr…
