OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis (EMT) is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by chronic pain, menstrual irregularities, and infertility. This study aims to evaluate the global burden of EMT from 1990 to 2021 and to project trends up t…
Artificial intelligence (AI) has rapidly advanced in the medical field, with a notable increase in its applications within obstetrics and gynecology. This study aims to identify key research trends in AI applications in this domain over rec…
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the impact of inoculation with the inactivated coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccine on the outcomes of in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). METHODS: From January 2021 to December…
BACKGROUND: Evidence indicates that the risk of developing a secondary ovarian cancer (OC) is correlated with estrogen receptor (ER) status. However, the clinical significance of the relationship between ER-associated breast cancer (BC) and…
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Upper urinary tract urothelial carcinomas (UTUCs) are characterized by their obscure location, insidious onset, and propensity for early muscle-invasive and lymph node metastasis, resulting in a generally poor prog…
OBJECTIVE: Investigating the utility of serum exosomal markers CA125, HE4, and C5a, both individually and in combination, for distinguishing between benign and malignant ovarian tumors. METHODS: In this study, we selected a total of 234 pa…
Pulmonary endometriosis is a rare disease of uncertain pathogenesis which generally presents with the cyclic clinical symptoms and catamenial changes noticed on computer tomography during menstruation. We report a case of a 33-year-old woma…
