BackgroundNeuraxial anesthesia is the gold standard for cesarean sections, but general anesthesia is sometimes necessary, especially in emergency cases. Anaphylactic shock due to succinylcholine, a commonly used neuromuscular blocking agent…

Endometriosis is a chronic multisystem disease associated with immunological, genetic, hormonal, psychological, and neuroscientific factors, leading to a significant socioeconomic impact worldwide. Though multidisciplinary management is the…

INTRODUCTION: Anti-sulfatide antibodies are key biomarkers for the diagnosis of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). However, case reports on anti-sulfatide antibody-related GBS are rare, particularly for atypical cases. CASE DESCRIPTION CASE 1:…

BackgroundGenome instability plays a crucial role in promoting tumor development. Germline mutations in genes responsible for DNA repair are often associated with familial cancer syndromes. A noticeable exception is the CHEK1 gene. Despite …

BACKGROUND: It is a technical challenge to monitor ablation outcome during magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment using non-gadolinium technique. The study aimed to investigate the value of diffusion-weighted imagin…

BackgroundThis is an update of a Cochrane review first published in 2017. Acute appendicitis (inflammation of the appendix) can be simple or complicated. Appendiceal phlegmon and appendiceal abscess are examples of complicated appendicitis.…

Peritoneal fibrosis has been linked to hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) as well as O-linked-N-acetylglucosaminylation (O-GlcNAcylation) in peritoneal dialysis (PD). Genistein, recognized for its HIF-1α inhibitory and antifibrotic e…

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a vital pathological feature of silica-induced pulmonary fibrosis. However, whether circRNA is involved in the process remains unclear. The present study aimed to investigate the role of circPVT1 i…

BackgroundWolffian tumors in females are rare gynecological neoplasms, with fewer than 100 cases reported. Existing literature primarily focuses on the pathology, and reports involving imaging are limited.ObjectiveThis study presents a case…

IntroductionThis study aimed to investigate the causal relationship between phosphatidylcholine (PC) levels and dysmenorrhea using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.MethodsWe conducted a two-sample MR analysis using GWAS data on PC leve…

Limited understanding exists regarding how aging impacts the cellular and molecular aspects of the human ovary. This study combines single-cell RNA sequencing and spatial transcriptomics to systematically characterize human ovarian aging. S…

Thermochromic textiles possess the capability to indicate ambient temperature through color changes, enabling real-time temperature monitoring and providing temperature warnings for body heat management. In this study, three thermochromic d…

The development of ovarian cancer is closely related to various factors, such as environmental, genetic and microbiological factors. In previous research, bacteria were identified in human tumors by 16S rRNA sequencing. However, the microbi…

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC) is difficult to diagnose because of its low incidence, uncertain risk factors, and the absence of effective markers. This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of E…

BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the diagnostic efficiency of Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System (O-RADS) and doctors' subjective judgment in diagnosing the malignancy risk of adnexal masses.MethodsThis was an analysis of 616 ad…

OBJECTIVES: How chronic pelvic inflammatory disease (CPID), the most common cause of infertility, affects metabolic profiles of follicular fluid (FF) remains unknown. This study aimed to identify candidate biomarkers in FF of infertile wome…

Study questionDoes cancer itself, before any gonadotoxic treatment, affect ovarian function in reproductive-aged patients?Summary answerOur study revealed that women with cancer may have decreased ovarian reserve markers even before cancer …

PURPOSE: This research aims to present the findings of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) in a series of patients with proven deep endometriosis (DE) and provide an updated literature review. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Between January 2018 an…

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important factor in the development of some diseases such as tumors, ocular neovascular disease and endometriosis. Inhibition of abnormal VEGF expression is one of the most effective means of …

BACKGROUND: Transformation of endometriosis to malignancy is a rare occurrence. Clear cell ovarian cancer and endometrioid ovarian cancer are the two histotypes most consistently linked to endometriosis. The exact pathways leading to malign…

PURPOSE: To investigate the efficacy and safety of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound surgery (MRgFUS) ablation for abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) due to uterine leiomyoma or adenomyosis. METHODS: In total, thirty patients with A…

BackgroundThis study aims to evaluate the role of the fibrinogen/albumin ratio (FAR) in predicting platinum resistance and survival outcomes of patients with ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC).MethodsCoagulation function and D-dimer, serum…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic gynecological syndrome. Recent studies have shown that long non-coding RNAs participate in the pathogenesis and development of endometriosis. This study aimed to explore the mechanisms of DHRS4…

BackgroundThe aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of deficient mismatch repair (MMR) in Chinese ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) patients and its association with clinicopathologic features.MethodsImmunohistochemistry wi…

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between uterine diameters and menstrual abdominal pain intensity in patients with and without endometriosis (EM), and the independent influence of EM on the pain intensity. ME…
