BackgroundShear wave elastography (SWE) can evaluate cervical function by measuring the stiffness of the cervix of pregnant women. The aim of this study was to investigate the value of transvaginal ultrasound real-time SWE for assessing cer…

PurposeVaginal delivery is the most common mode of childbirth, and women often experience severe uterine contraction pain (UCP) for several days postpartum, which can significantly impair postpartum recovery. Acupuncture has proven efficacy…

Disorders of the Gut-Brain Interaction (DGBI) are highly prevalent conditions that all gastroenterologists encounter in clinical practice. Differences between men and women in the prevalence and symptom burden of DGBI have been well documen…

OBJECTIVE: To explore barriers affecting medication adherence (e.g., missed doses, forgotten doses, or discontinuation) among patients with Ovarian Endometriosis (OE) using the Capability, Opportunity, Motivation - Behaviour (COM-B) behavio…

BackgroundHigh-Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) is an emerging non-invasive therapy for breast fibroadenoma. However, its efficacy across different breast glandular types, which may influence acoustic energy deposition, remains underexpl…

BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to explore the effect of the timing of surgical management of hydrosalpinx on in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic single-sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) pregnancy outcomes in patients with tubal factor infer…

PurposeTo ascertain whether female factors uniformly impact the entire spectrum of early embryo development during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatments or if their influence is confined to specific stages.MethodsA retrospective observati…

INTRODUCTION: Mother-to-child disease transmission begins in utero, with the placenta playing a critical role in pregnancy and offspring health. Uterine leiomyomata (fibroids, UFs) and endometriosis (ENDO) are common gynecologic diseases th…

Oocyte/embryo defects can result in oocyte maturation arrest, fertilization failure, embryonic arrest, and infertility as well as recurrent in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) failures. However, the genet…

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a prevalent endocrine disorder characterized by reproductive and metabolic disturbances, which causes a chronic lack of ovulation that leads to increased incidence of atypical endometrial hyperplasia and …

Breast cancer prognosis and treatment outcomes are shaped by intricate interplay between tumor biology, systemic comorbidities, and patient-reported functional status. This paper introduces a framework to address critical gaps in precision …

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, repeated oocyte retrieval cycles are often necessary for patients with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). It has been hypothesized that the mechanical stimulation from the initial oocyte pick-up (OPU) proced…

Endometriosis, a chronic disease that affects about 10% of women of reproductive age, is characterized by severe pain and growth of endometrium-like tissues outside the uteri. Although several theories have been advanced for the cause of en…

This study investigated fertility-related quality of life among married women of reproductive age (20-45 years) with endometriosis-associated infertility, focusing on the mediating role of family resilience between infertility-related stres…

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the most common severe bacterial infections in young children, often associated with vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). To explore host genetic-microbiota interactions and their clinical implications, we analyz…

BackgroundChronic endometritis (CE) is an inflammatory condition characterized by endometrial plasmacyte infiltration. The diagnosis and treatment of CE have attracted more and more attention. This article aimed to analyze the relevant keyw…

BackgroundThe Cardiometabolic Index (CMI), a composite marker integrating lipid profiles (triglycerides-to-HDL-C ratio) and abdominal obesity (waist-to-height ratio), we aimed to assess its association with gallstone prevalence.MethodsWe an…

ObjectiveTo identify clinical characteristics and risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes after clinical pregnancy following laparoscopic tubal anastomosis (LTA).MethodsRetrospective analysis of 253 patients undergoing LTA (May 2016-Dec…

ObjectiveTo compare single versus double autologous platelet-rich plasma (PRP) intrauterine infusion effects on endometrial receptivity and pregnancy outcomes in patients with thin endometrium.MethodsThis randomized controlled trial include…

We report the findings of a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of endometriosis across 14 biobanks worldwide, including 32% non-European patient participants, as part of the Global Biobank Meta-Analysis Initiative (GBMI). Ou…

OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a nomogram prediction model for chronic pain after hysterectomy for uterine fibroids. METHODS: A retrospective study was conducted on 315 patients who visited our hospital from January 2022 to July 2024. …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder with unclear molecular mechanisms. Ferroptosis, a regulated iron-dependent cell death, may play a key role, yet the specific genes involved remain underexplored. METHODS: Ferropto…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic disease characterized by unclear etiology, influenced by various genetic and environmental factors, with no definitive biomarkers available for early screening. Recent studies suggest that the abdominal micr…
