Deep learning based methods have attracted attention for uterine adenomyosis in transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) images due to their powerful abilities of feature representation, yet are hindered by a lack of labeled data. Self-supervised lea…

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, the management of luteinizing hormone (LH) levels during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) with gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocols presents a significant challenge that c…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a relationship between the location of adenomyosis lesions and obstetric and neonatal outcomes? DESIGN: A total of 466 women diagnosed with adenomyosis via transvaginal ultrasound between January 2019 and Decemb…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecologic disorder associated with pelvic pain and impaired health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) have anti-inflammatory potential and may c…

OBJECTIVE: This study compares short-term effects of thermal ablation techniques, alone or with medications, on dysmenorrhea, menstrual volume, uterine size, and lesion size post-medication cessation. METHODS: Searches were conducted on Pu…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this meta-analysis is to provide a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of the prevalence of endometriosis and adenomyosis, addressing the limitations of existing research data and evaluating the quality of th…

BACKGROUND: Cryoablation is a minimally invasive treatment, with limited research on uterine diseases. This paper provides a review of image-guided cryoablation for the treatment of gynecologic diseases, such as uterine myoma, abdominal wal…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of prior uterine cavity procedures on clinical and neonatal outcomes in patients undergoing first-time in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer with donor sperm (IVF-ET with DS). METHODS: This retrospective …

OBJECTIVE: Effective early diagnosis and timely intervention in acute pancreatitis (AP) are essential for improving patient outcomes. This study aims to evaluate the clinical utility of the neutrophil CD64 index (nCD64) in stratifying patie…

BACKGROUND: Shear wave elastography (SWE) can be used to detect the stiffness of the myometrium and lesion of the uterus, shear wave dispersion (SWD) can be used to detect the viscoelasticity, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can be use…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is characterized by ectopic endometrial tissue, which causes dysmenorrhea, menstruation, and infertility, significantly impairing quality of life. Current treatments-including medications, surgery, and interventional…

Despite decades of research, endometriosis remains a mysterious gynecological disease with unknown etiology and pathogenesis. Krüppel-like Factor 6 (KLF6), a transcription factor, has a wide expression profile and regulates a variety of bio…

Endometriosis is a common benign gynecologic condition. Endometriosis lesions are associated with endometrial cell proliferation, migration, invasion, and neovascularization, while the specific molecular mechanisms are still elusive. Transc…

PURPOSE: To prospectively study the influence of the volume of the uterine junctional zone (JZ) as a novel predictor of reproductive outcomes in frozen embryo transfer cycles. METHODS: Among the first 30 patients, intra- and interobserver r…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a benign uterine disease and affected patients present with symptoms such as menorrhagia, chronic pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding, and infertility. However, the specific mechanisms by which adenomyosis occu…

BACKGROUND: Endometrial thickness (EMT) and blood flow are commonly used indicators of endometrial receptivity. However, the results of single ultrasound examination studies differ. Therefore, we used 3-dimensional (3D) ultrasound to study …

BACKGROUND: Different from conventional ultrasound, contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) is better in observing microperfusion. For atypical focal adenomyosis and uterine leiomyomas that are difficult to be distinguished by conventional ultr…

OBJECTIVE: Unexplained infertility (UIF) or recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) affects 10%-15% of couples in their reproductive years and is multifactorial and not completely elucidated. In this study, we attempt to determine the endometrial ex…

In order to find out to what extent ovarian aging could be compensated by the in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) treatments, a total of 4102 women above the age of 35 undergoing 6489 complete cycles from 2009…

Background: Endometriosis mainly affects female pelvic tissues and organs, and the presence of endometriosis in the kidney is extremely rare. Case Presentation: We report a case of a 48-year-old woman who presented with intermittent hematur…

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) has prominent extracellular matrix (ECM) that compromises treatments yet cannot be nonselectively disrupted without adverse consequences. ECM of PDAC, despite the recognition of its importance, has no…

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays critical roles in angiogenesis and vasculogenesis, which are associated with post-stroke functional recovery. However, the effects of the VEGFA polymorphisms on the outcome of ischemic stroke …
