BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer represents the primary cause of mortality from gynecological malignancies among women. Treatment strategies for benign versus malignant ovarian tumors differ significantly, making accurate preoperative diagnosis e…

Understanding the molecular basis of endometrial receptivity is crucial for improving implantation outcomes in assisted reproduction, especially for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). This study investigates the timing rela…

BACKGROUND: The mechanism of primary dysmenorrhea remains unraveled. Body symptoms not related to menstrual cycle may indicate the potential mechanism of primary dysmenorrhea, albeit the association has not been proven. Furthermore, we hypo…

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) viral infection has been associated with severe cardiovascular complications. However, the role of epitranscriptional modulation involved in SARS-CoV-2-infected myocarditis is sti…

A growing body of literature examines how shift work affects different aspects of women's reproductive cycles, ranging from fertility to pregnancy to menopause. This review summarizes what is known about how shift work affects women's repro…

We aimed to evaluate the successful long-term use of dienogest for the management of pelvic pain and bleeding control in perimenopausal women with symptomatic adenomyosis using real-world data. All women aged ≥ 40 years with adenomyosis who…

BACKGROUND/AIM: The aim of this study was to explore the potential association between ovarian cancer and cataracts using the Longitudinal Health Insurance Research Database (LHIRD) of Taiwan. PATIENTS AND METHODS: A retrospective cohort s…

INTRODUCTION: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors are commonly used antihyperglycemic medications that also exhibit anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. Ovarian cancer, a common gynecological neoplasm, is associated with…

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a microvascular complication of diabetes characterized by an inflammatory response. The H19 gene plays a role in regulating inflammation and is associated with chronic systemic inflammation. This study aims to i…

PURPOSE: To compare the outcome of indirect inguinal hernias repaired by using single-port laparoscopic percutaneous internal ring suture (SPIRS) between the pediatric and adult females. METHODS: The medical records of females who were cli…

We aim to investigate the potential correlation between the presence of ovarian cancer and the development of dry eye disease (DED) via the usage of the Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID) of Taiwan. A retrospective cohort study w…

We aim to explore the possible association between ovarian cancer and the subsequent development of open-angle glaucoma (OAG) using the Taiwan Longitudinal Health Insurance Database (LHID) 2000. A retrospective cohort study was executed, an…

Odontogenic rhinosinusitis is a subtype of rhinosinusitis associated with dental infection or dental procedures and has special bacteriologic features. Previous research on the bacteriologic features of odontogenic rhinosinusitis has mainly…

Gynecologic cancers are the leading cause of death in women. Endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancer are the three main types of gynecologic cancers. Poor prognoses and high mortality rates of advanced-stage cancer are still challenges of…

DNA damage response (DDR) is important for maintaining genomic integrity of the cell. Aberrant DDR pathways lead to accumulation of DNA damage, genomic instability and malignant transformations. Gene mutations have been proven to be associa…

Onychomycosis is most commonly caused by dermatophytes. In this study, we examined the spectrum of phenotypically non-dermatophyte and non-Aspergillus fungal isolates recovered over a 10-year period from nails of patients with onychomycosis…

Hysterectomy is a potential risk factor for subsequent surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, especially when the prolapse exists before hysterectomy. Women without prolapse before hysterectomy may also experience prolapse after hysterectomy. T…

Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the association between pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and breast, colorectal, gynecologic and urinary tract cancer. Methods: The source of data was a longitudinal dataset compiled by the Lo…

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess endometriomas and follicular cysts using a new quantitative method provided by the picture archiving and communication system. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed our computer ultrasound da…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of different transvaginal sonographic criteria in the diagnosis of adenomyosis, and to determine the most useful sonographic feature by comparison with histopathologic results. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A t…

BACKGROUND: Hemoptysis is a potentially serious clinical problem. However, there is no consensus on the clinical characteristics, treatment and patient outcome of catamenial hemoptysis. OBJECTIVE: Clinical characteristics, treatments and o…
