This study aims to assess associations of dyslipidemia with in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes in women undergoing their first ovarian stimulation and whether age, body mass index, or lipid levels modify these …

Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a common, potentially severe inflammatory disease of the pancreas. Although environmental triggers such as alcohol and gallstones are well known, only a subset of exposed individuals develop AP, suggesting that ge…

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a flexible cell-state program that supports tumor invasion, metastasis, immune escape, and therapy resistance. It is not a simple switch from an epithelial to a mesenchymal phenotype. Instead, canc…

Biomarkers play a pivotal role in contemporary medical research, particularly in the early diagnosis of diseases and personalized treatment. Although previous studies have systematically reviewed markers across various disease domains, an i…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis (AM) is described as a benign invasion of the endometrium into the myometrium, which impacts a large number of childbearing age women. The diagnosis of AM relies on imaging and histological examinations. Although car…

BACKGROUND: The cytokines interleukin (IL)-6 and transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) are established inducers of pathogenic T helper 17 (Th17) cells from naïve T cells. In the maternal-fetal compartment, IL-6 signaling elevates levels o…

Urological malignancies represent a group of highly aggressive tumors with a strong tendency toward therapy resistance. Their pathogenesis is closely associated with metabolic reprogramming and epigenetic regulation. In recent years, lactyl…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of women worldwide that can cause pelvic pain, lead to infertility, and impair quality of life. Whether the condition elevates r…

PURPOSE: Precocious puberty (PP) is a pediatric endocrine disorder. Bisphenol A (BPA) is an endocrine disruptor. This study aimed to computationally investigate BPA-associated PP targets and mechanisms via network toxicology and molecular d…

BACKGROUND: Hyperthyroidism adversely impacts female reproduction, yet its association with in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes remains controversial. It remains unknown whether ovarian function recovers upon achieving euthyroidism. We co…

Precancers, defined as normal-appearing or morphologically altered tissues with a risk of oncogenesis, exhibit various detectable manifestations across anatomical sites, including epithelial dysplasia, metaplasia, hyperplasia, and stromal f…

BACKGROUND: Obesity is a major global public health concern closely linked to the development and progression of various gynaecological disorders, particularly polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometrial cancer. Incretins, a group of g…

BACKGROUND: Hyperuricemia (HUA) has become popular globally, being an important risk factor for various metabolic diseases. Elevated serum uric acid (UA) levels cause adverse reproductive outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome und…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to monitor the expression of B-cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2) in granulosa cells of patients undergoing IVF/ICSI with respect blastocyst quality outcomes. METHODS: We recruited 181 women undergoing IVF/ICSI cycl…

The lack of accurate understanding of cellular physiology and pathophysiology during the WOI constitutes the major obstacle to correct diagnosis and treatment for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF). The role of cilia as one …

BACKGROUND: Intussusception is the leading cause of acute abdominal conditions in infants, yet it is frequently under-recognised in those younger than 3 months, potentially resulting in serious complications such as bowel necrosis, peritoni…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a common, heterogeneous disorder that affects up to 3.5% of women under 40 years of age and is defined by oligo/amenorrhoea, hypo-oestrogenism, and markedly elevated gonadotrophin levels. POI substan…

The present study aimed to investigate the role of 6‑phosphofructo‑2‑kinase/fructose‑2,6‑biphosphatase 4 (PFKFB4) in endometrial cancer cells and to explore its potential molecular mechanisms. PFKFB4 expression in endometrial cancer tissues…

OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate alterations in immune cell counts within preovulatory follicles of patients with poor ovarian response (POR) during assisted reproductive technology (ART), classified according to the POSEIDON crite…

Hysterectomy is associated with an increased risk for adverse health outcomes. However, its connection to the risk of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL) remains unclear. The aims of our study were to investigate the associations between hysterect…

Introduction Myofascial dysfunction is a significant, but often unrecognized, contributor to chronic low back pain (CLBP). myoActivation is an innovative method that utilizes a structured assessment and therapeutic process to recognize and …

BACKGROUND: Thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) is associated with infertility and complications during pregnancy. However, the prevalence of thyroid autoantibodies in women with infertility remains unclear due to variability in study designs, sampl…

INTRODUCTION: Infertility affects 8-12% of couples worldwide, with 15-30% classified as unexplained infertility (UI). Thyroid autoimmunity (TAI), the most common autoimmune disorder in women of reproductive age, may impact fertility and pre…
