The female reproductive system, including the endometrium, placenta, ovary, cervix, and fallopian tube, plays a critical role in conception, implantation, and fetal development. Recent advances in bioengineered models such as organoids, org…

The rising global burden of infertility continues to increase clinical reliance on assisted reproductive technology (ART), yet overall outcomes remain constrained by limited physiological fidelity of conventional two-dimensional (2D) cultur…

SUMMARY: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a known risk factor for dyslipidaemias. Insulin resistance and the associated dyslipidaemia, particularly hypertriglyceridaemia, have been less frequently linked to peripheral nerve dysfunctio…

A 45-year-old female presented to the Emergency Department with acute right lower quadrant (RLQ) pain. Her past medical history was significant for heavy menstrual bleeding and moderate dysmenorrhea, though a diagnosis of endometriosis had …

Background: Asherman's syndrome (AS) is a dreadful gynecological disorder of the uterus characterized by intrauterine adhesion with severe fibrotic lesions, resulting in a damaged basalis layer with infertility. Despite extensive research o…

BACKGROUND: Venous thrombosis associated with the use of oral contraceptives (OCs) occurs mostly in the deep veins of the lower extremity. A lesion of the upper extremity is rare, and the majority of thrombotic events that occur in the supe…

BACKGROUND: Although single-incision robotic cholecystectomy (SIRC) overcomes various limitations of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC), it is associated with high cost. In this study, we intended to investigate if SIRC is …

BACKGROUND: This study aimed to investigate whether working long hours was related to infertility among female Korean workers, while taking age into consideration. METHODS: We used data from the 2018 National Survey on Fertility and Family…

STUDY QUESTION: Can we reconstitute physiologically relevant 3-dimensional (3D) microengineered endometrium in-vitro model? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our representative microengineered vascularised endometrium on-a-chip closely recapitulates the end…

BACKGROUND: Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a highly heterogeneous disorder that occurs in 1% of women of reproductive age. Very few causative genes and variants contributing to POF have been detected, and the disease remains incompletel…
