STUDY QUESTION: How can the potential mechanisms and targets of endometriosis be explored through multi-omics and multi-location approaches? SUMMARY ANSWER: This exploration of the gut-reproductive axis in patients with endometriosis found…

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality, with survival prediction limited by existing prognostic models that fail to capture tumor heterogeneity. Conventional methods lack precision for individualized risk ass…

ObjectiveTo explore the micro blood flow characteristics of normal singleton pregnancy placenta in middle and late pregnancy based on microvascular flow (MV-Flow) imaging.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study. Clinical records an…

BackgroundFew studies have analyzed the endometrial preparation protocols for frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) in patients at high risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). This study aimed to investigate the optimal protocol for…

BackgroundTo investigate the optimal periendometrial zone (PEZ) in ultrasound (US) images and assess the performance of ultrasound radiomics in predicting the outcome of frozen embryo transfer (FET).MethodsThis prospective study had 422 fem…

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder with poorly understood mechanisms. Inflammatory proteins are hypothesized to play a causal role, but evidence remains limited. We performed a 2-sample Mendelian randomization study to assess …

BackgroundInfertility is a growing global challenge that affects millions of people, and various factors influence female reproductive health. This study examined the association between inflammatory indicators, nutritional status, metaboli…

BackgroundPelvic abscesses represent acute gynecological emergencies requiring timely intervention. This study evaluated prognostic predictors and treatment modalities in patients with pelvic abscesses.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective an…

BackgroundThe comorbidity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease, with cervical cancer has garnered a lot of attention. Cervical cancer is much more common in RA patients than in the general population, which may be caus…

Cross-disease genome-wide association studies (GWASs) unveil pleiotropic loci, mostly situated within the non-coding genome, each of which exerts pleiotropic effects across multiple diseases. However, the challenge "W-H-W" (namely, whether,…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is defined as the depletion of ovarian function before the age of 40 years. The global prevalence of POI is 3.5%. To date, genetic factors account for 23.5% of the etiology of POI. Herein, a previously …

Objectives: The association between non-genetic risk factors and cervical cancer (CC) remains controversial and unclear. This umbrella review was conducted to evaluate and synthesize previously published systematic reviews and meta-analyses…

PurposeThis preclinical study aimed to evaluate whether using transferred mosaic embryos (primarily selected by embryonic morphology assessment (EMA) and compared by the noninvasive preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (niPGT-A) o…

Endometrial cancer (EC) is a common gynecological cancer. In some parts of the world, the incidence and mortality of EC are on the rise. Understanding the risk factors of EC is necessary to prevent the occurrence of this disease. Observatio…

BackgroundmiRNAs and genes can serve as biomarkers for the prognosis and therapy of cervical tumors whose metastasis into lymph nodes is closely associated with disease progression and poor prognosis.MethodsR software and Bioconductor packa…

Artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced rapid growth over the past few years, moving from the experimental to the implementation phase in various fields, including medicine. Advances in learning algorithms and theories, the availabilit…

Ultrasound guidance for histological diagnosis is in real-time, convenient, and economical. The aim of this study was to determine whether transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS)- and transrectal ultrasound (TRUS)-guided aspiration biopsy allows det…

BackgroundRotator cuff disease is a common disorder leading to shoulder pain and loss of function. Its etiology in atraumatic cases is uncertain and is likely to extend beyond repetitive microtrauma or overuse. Our objective was to determin…
