Objective The objective of this study was to assess the clinical utility of ultrasound hemodynamic examination in predicting pregnancy outcomes following laparoscopic surgical intervention for ovarian endometriotic cysts. Methods A retrospe…

BACKGROUND: Higher prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) is a well-established risk factor for adverse neonatal outcomes in IVF-conceived pregnancies; therefore, weight management is important for infertile patients, yet it remains challenging…

BACKGROUND: Implantation failure is the most common cause of pregnancy failure and is a major limiting factor in assisted reproduction. Plasma microRNA (miRNA) expression profiles show dynamic changes among individuals with successful impla…

Fibrosis, marked by excessive extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation, underlies functional decline in numerous diseases and often presents with sex-specific differences in severity. Although biochemical pathways have been widely studied, t…

Endometriosis (EM) significantly impacts the quality of life, and its diagnosis currently relies on surgery, which carries risks and may miss early lesions. Noninvasive biomarkers are urgently needed for early diagnosis and personalized tre…

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) significantly impacts patients' quality of life, and current treatment options remain limited due to high recurrence rates, making the exploration of new therapeutic targets essential. Using data from the FinnGen…

Advanced maternal age is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. However, the impact of changes in maternal physiology, biochemistry, vaginal microbiome, and its metabolites related to reproductive age on pregnancy outcomes is uncertain…

Endometriosis (EMs) and recurrent miscarriage (RM) represent major reproductive health challenges. This study investigates the involvement of endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in these conditions through integrative bioinformatics …

BACKGROUND: Preimplantation genetic testing for chromosomal structural rearrangements (PGT-SR) has been widely utilized to select euploid embryos in patients carrying balanced chromosomal rearrangements (BCRs) by chromosome copy number anal…

Advanced maternal age (AMA, ≥35 years) women undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) face reduced live birth rates (LBR) and remain a major clinical challenge. In a large randomized trial, Zishen Yutai Pill (ZYP) improved LBR in t…

OBJECTIVE: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) patients have higher absolute numbers of decidual natural killer (dNK) cells with elevated intracellular IFN-γ levels leading to a pro-inflammatory cytokine milieu, which contributes to RPL pathogen…

PURPOSE: The window of implantation (WOI) is a brief period during which the endometrium is receptive to embryo implantation. This study investigated the relationship between miR-135a-5p and endometrial receptivity. METHODS: Peripheral blo…

Intrauterine adhesion (IUA) is characterized by the formation of fibrous scar tissue within the uterine cavity, which significantly impacts female reproductive health and even leads to infertility. Unfortunately, severe cases of IUA current…

STUDY QUESTION: What are the dynamic expression features of plasma microRNAs (miRNAs) during the peri-implantation period in women with successful pregnancy via single frozen-thawed blastocyst transfer? SUMMARY ANSWER: There is a significa…

OBJECTIVE: To study biomarkers to develop a novel diagnosis model for endometriosis and validate it using clinical samples. DESIGN: We used publicly available data sets and weighted gene coexpression network analysis to identify differenti…

The pathological retinal angiogenesis often causes blindness. Current anti-angiogenic therapy for proliferative retinopathy targets the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), but many patients do not radically benefit from this therapy.…

We investigated the prevalence of human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in the female partner of infertile couples and the reproductive outcomes after in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection-embryo transfer (IVF/ICSI-ET). We …

OBJECTIVE: Although there has been increased utilization of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) in the world, there is no conclusive definition about the relationship between the success rate of ART and national wealth. METHODS: In th…

BACKGROUND: We aimed to summarize the available data regarding the levels of leptin and adiponectin and the key modulators of endometriosis compared to the controls. METHODS: The electronic databases such as MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Cochra…

In this manuscript, the initial feasibility of a catheter based phase stabilized swept source optical coherence tomography (OCT) system was studied for characterization of the strain inside different human ovarian tissue groups. The ovarian…

Sperm morphology is the best predictor of fertilization potential, and the critical predictive information for supporting assisted reproductive methods selection. Given its important predictive value and the declining reality of semen quali…
