IntroductionSonographers are health providers who perform highly complex psychomotor, cognitive, interpretive and reporting tasks, all of which carry a risk of error. Such errors may lead to health consumer complaints. The purpose of this r…

BACKGROUND: Menstrual disorders are among the most common health problems faced by young women, yet effective interventions remain limited. Recent evidence has linked endocrine disruptors (EDs) to dysmenorrhea and premenstrual syndrome (PMS…

The uterus is a dynamic organ in which the endometrium undergoes cyclic processes of proliferation, shedding, and regeneration under the influence of estrogen and progesterone. In particular, estrogen regulates the proliferation and differe…

Elucidating the molecular intricacies governing uterine function is crucial for reproductive success. The purinergic receptor P2Y, G-protein coupled 2 (P2ry2), regulates critical cellular processes, and we investigated the mechanisms by whi…

Cancer remains a leading cause of death worldwide, necessitating new treatment strategies. Bioactive natural products are a promising source of anticancer drugs because of their complex structures and ability to target multiple pathways, su…

Thymol, a phenolic monoterpene derivative found in the essential oil of Thymus vulgaris L., Lamiaceae, is currently under investigation for potential applications in pharmaceuticals, functional foods, and cosmetics. Despite ongoing research…

In mice, the uterus undergoes dynamic changes regulated by estrogen and progesterone during the estrous cycle. Proper regulation of these changes is critical for successful pregnancy. The Family with sequence similarity 3 (Fam3) gene family…

Despite the fact that endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that occurs in 10% of women of reproductive age, the pathogenesis and treatment strategy are not clear to date. Endometriosis patients are commonly characterized by adhes…

BACKGROUND: The aim of this study was to examine the effects of integrative medicine (IM) on perinatal outcomes and health care utilization in women who gave birth in Korea. METHODS: This study used National Health Insurance Sharing Servic…

Background and Objectives: This systematic review and network meta-analysis evaluated the effects of postoperative opioid use on nausea and vomiting in women undergoing laparoscopic hysterectomy. Materials and Methods: A systematic search o…

Transcriptional coactivator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) functions as a transcriptional coactivator, which shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus under the Hippo signaling. It is known to be involved in promoting cell proliferation,…

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common endocrine disorder that increases the risk of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). This study aims to assess the correlation between PCOS and GDM and to identify associated…

Microbiome research has expanded rapidly over the past 15 years; however, the primary focus has been on the gut microbiome. Although understudied, the vaginal microbiome holds significant potential to improve women's health. In this paper, …

Background: Peritoneal stretching from CO2 insufflation is a primary mechanism of pain associated with laparoscopy. Cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors are promising anti-inflammatory and analgesic agents. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of…

Background and Objectives: Autonomic nervous system (ANS) disorders are responsible for primary dysmenorrhea and are closely linked to the spine. This study aims to evaluate the effects of sacroiliac joint manipulation on the ANS and lower …

BACKGROUND: Baicalein is a flavonoid extracted from the roots of Scutellaria baicalensis G. that has anti-inflammatory and antitumor effects. However, therapeutic mechanisms of baicalein in patients with endometriosis in vivo have yet to be…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of the through-and-through wire (TTW) technique for antegrade ureteral Double-J stent placement after failure of either antegrade or retrograde ureteral stent placement.MethodThis retrospective s…

Alpinumisoflavone is an isoflavonoid extracted from the Cudrania tricuspidate fruit and Genista pichisermolliana. It has various physiological functions, such as anti-inflammation, anti-proliferation, and apoptosis, in malignant tumors. How…

Humans are exposed to complex mixtures of phthalates. Gestational exposure to phthalates has been linked to preeclampsia and preterm birth through potential pathways such as endocrine disruption, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Eicosano…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the growth of endometrial-like tissues containing endometrial stromal cells and glandular epithelium outside the uterine cavity. An insufficient response to proges…

BACKGROUND: Fraxetin, a phytochemical obtained from Fraxinus rhynchophylla, is well known for its anti-inflammatory and anti-fibrotic properties. However, fraxetin regulates the progression of endometriosis, which is a benign reproductive d…

BACKGROUND: Hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) is an inflammatory skin condition which predominantly affects women of childbearing age in the USA. There is a lack of research on the association between HS and fertility. OBJECTIVES: The aim of t…

It is known that the etiology and clinical outcomes of autoimmune diseases are associated with a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In the case of the genetic factor, the SNPs of the PTPN22 gene have shown strong associations…
