ObjectivesTuberculosis (TB) is a common cause of infertility in humans, especially in regions with high TB prevalence. However, the impact of latent TB infection (LTBI) on pregnancy outcomes following assisted reproduction in patients with …

BackgroundPrevious studies have focused on the effects of ambient air pollutant levels on assisted reproduction. This research focused on the combined effects of lower concentrations of air pollutants and multiple environmental factors on m…

Sleep disorders, particularly obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), circadian disruption, and insomnia, are increasingly recognized as contributors to the onset and progression of gynecologic cancers. This review explores the bidirectional interac…

Emerging evidence suggests that gut microbiota imbalances may influence the onset of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), yet conclusive evidence establishing causation remains limited. This study investigates the causal relationship between g…

ObjectiveTo investigate the determinants affecting live birth outcomes in fresh embryo transfer among polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients using various machine learning (ML) algorithms and to construct predictive models, offering nove…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to develop a machine learning-based predictive model for patients with endometriosis, with the goal of precisely identifying key factors and reliable predictive markers that influence live birth outcomes following…

PurposeTuberculosis (TB) is a significant factor contributing to infertility. For some infertile patients, chest radiography (CXR) screenings prior to assisted reproductive treatment (ART) reveal old/inactive TB lesions. However, the pregna…

Background and objectivePrimary dysmenorrhea carries substantial medical, social, and economic burdens, leading many patients to seek low-risk complementary and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture. Myofascial trigger point dry needli…

IntroductionChronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common condition involving multiple systems, characterized by complex manifestations and diverse clinical symptoms. The current treatment options for CPP are limited and may be only effective for s…

AbstractThe production of high-quality oocytes requires precisely orchestrated intercellular communication. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived nanoparticles that play a vital role in the transfer of bioactive molecules, which has…

Formononetin (FMN) is a common natural metabolite that can be extracted and isolated from some common botanical drugs. In recent years, FMN has garnered increasing attention due to its beneficial biological activities. In this paper, we sys…

BackgroundTo compare the clinical outcomes between frozen-thawed cleavage embryo transfer and frozen-thawed day 6 blastocyst transfer in patients younger than 35 using the freeze-all strategy without day 5 blastocyst formation.MethodsThis w…

As one of the three major malignant tumors in women, the morbidity of endometrial cancer is second only to that of cervical cancer and is increasing yearly. Its etiological mechanism is not clear, and the risk factors are numerous and commo…

Elevated lactate levels have been linked to poor prognosis in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP). Lactate-derived lactylation, a novel post-translational modification, has been implicated in various pathological processes by modulating g…

Background: Studies have found that post-traumatic growth exists in patients with recent hysterectomy. However, previous studies have overlooked heterogeneity within groups. There is a lack of research on whether there are different categor…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a chronic gynecological disorder characterized by the invasion of endometrial tissues into the myometrium of the uterus, with pathophysiology linked to chronic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation. However, th…

Mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell, orchestrate a plethora of critical functions, including energy production, metabolic regulation, programmed cell death, and signal transduction. Their pivotal role in the pathogenesis of numerous di…

Ovarian endometrioma (OMA), the most prevalent and clinically consequential subtype of endometriosis, represents a chronic inflammatory disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial-like lesions. This condition manifests as progressive dysm…

Multi-omics strategies, integrating genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics, have revolutionized biomarker discovery and enabled novel applications in personalized oncology. Despite rapid technological developments, a compre…

ObjectiveTo assess the efficacy of preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidies (PGT-A) compared to intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) alone in couples undergoing ICSI treatment because of severe male infertility.DesignMulticentre,…

BackgroundPreimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number analys…

OBJECTIVE: This study explored the incidence of adverse events (AEs) following microwave ablation (MWA) under local anesthesia and analyzed factors related to benign uterine diseases, including uterine fibroids (UFs) and adenomyosis (AM). …

Background and objectivesMultimorbidity is increasingly prevalent among the middle-aged population, yet it is largely often overlooked. We aimed to explore and compare the differences in multimorbidity patterns by sex and age among middle-a…

BackgroundMultimorbidity substantially increases health and economic burdens, and reduces productivity in working-age individuals. We conducted a study using data from 393,170 working-age inpatients (18-59 years) in Shaanxi, China, collecte…
