BACKGROUND: Circadian rhythm disturbances are known to impair ovarian reserve through endocrine and molecular pathways. However, the specific impact of daytime napping as a common compensatory sleep behavior remains poorly understood. METHO…
BACKGROUND: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder in women of reproductive age. Furthermore, the potential risks of long-term use of combined oral contraceptives (COCs) on ovarian reserve function remain uncle…
BACKGROUND: Clinical value of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors in in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in infertile women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) was investigated in this study. METHODS: A retrospective analy…
INTRODUCTION: Personal care products (PCPs) contain a number of endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) that could potentially affect the reproductive function in women of childbearing age. However, studies focused on the effects of PCPs use …
BACKGROUND: Epidemiological studies on phthalate exposures in associations with uterine fibroids (UF) and endometriosis (EMT) are inconsistent. The underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the relationships o…
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the feasibility of a deep learning-accelerated T2-weighted turbo spin echo (TSE) sequence (T2DL) applied to female pelvic MRI, using standard T2-weighted TSE (T2S) as reference. METHODS: In total, 24 volunteers a…
BACKGROUND/AIMS: To explore the effect of sulforaphane (SFN) treatment in rats through the induction of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) via the Nrf2-ARE pathway. METHODS: A total of 18 female rats (Sprague-Dawley) were assigned to three …
