PurposePolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is currently recognized as a condition that affects several systems in the body, including the reproductive, endocrine, and cardiovascular systems. Prevalent among teenagers and women of reproductive …
AIM: This study sought to design a multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) radiomics machine learning model capable of predicting high-intensity focussed ultrasound (HIFU) ablation outcomes in adenomyosis, with the further implemen…
Rationale: Endometriosis, characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial-like tissue, is a common chronic inflammatory disorder in gynecology. However, current treatments, including surgery and hormone therapy, often yield suboptimal …
The Body Roundness Index (BRI) is an innovative anthropometric measure reflecting body shape and obesity, increasingly recognized as a potential predictor of infertility, warranting further exploration. This research employed a cross-sectio…
BackgroundGastric-type endocervical adenocarcinoma (G-EAC) is a rare and aggressive subtype of cervical cancer which is not associated with human papillomavirus (HPV) infection but has poor prognosis because of its high invasiveness and res…
Mucinous cystic neoplasm of the liver (MCN-L) is a rare benign tumor accounting for less than 5% of all liver cysts, with MCN-L in the hilar region being exceptionally uncommon and often misdiagnosed due to its complex presentation. A 48-ye…
PurposeThis study aimed to investigate the impact of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on in vitro fertilization (IVF) and embryo transfer outcomes in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).MethodsWe conducted a prospective ob…
Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE), often post-cesarean, can cause massive abdominal wall defects following lesion resection. This report details a novel open technique for recurrent massive AWE in a 32-year-old female involving radical exc…
Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) has attracted increasing attention from researchers as an endogenous lipid mediator. It exhibits a unique mechanism of action in alleviating pain, controlling inflammation, and providing neuroprotection. It prima…
Study questionCan algorithms using wrist temperature, available on compatible models of iPhone and Apple Watch, retrospectively estimate the day of ovulation and predict the next menses start day?Summary answerAlgorithms using wrist tempera…
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…
Endometriosis (EM), a gynecologic disorder affecting 10 % of childbearing age women, with complex pathogenesis involving cell proliferation and metabolic abnormalities similar to malignancies. Unusual expression of key enzymes and regulator…
BackgroundThis study assessed the impact of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection on ovarian reserve in women.MethodsWe analyzed data from 38,861 infertile women undergoing their first in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment (2016-2022),…
This study investigated the relationship between dyslipidemia prior to conception and the risk of preeclampsia (PE) in women pregnant by in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET). The retrospective cohort study consisted of 2994 w…
AIMS: To develop a model predicting high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) efficacy in adenomyosis treatment using enhanced T1WI and T2WI-FS radiomics combined with clinical imaging features. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study included 137…
OBJECTIVES: The study aimed to develop a non-enhanced MRI-based radiomics model for the preoperative prediction of the efficacy of adenomyosis after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treatment. METHODS: The data of 130 patients with…
ObjectiveAnogenital distance (AGD) is a postnatal marker of in utero exposure to androgens and anti-androgens, and a predictor of reproductive health. We examined the association between gestational exposure to phthalates and AGD in male an…
Monkeypox virus (MPXV) infection-associated intestinal manifestations including diarrhea and proctitis have been frequently reported during mpox outbreaks. The clade IIb MPXV strain has caused the 2022-2023 global outbreak, whereas the Ia a…
IntroductionAnimal reproduction is a highly complex process influenced by numerous factors, and previous study has suggested that Hungatella hathewayi (HH) may have potential benefits for swine reproduction. Building on these findings, the …
ObjectivesThis study aimed to explore potential differences in efficacy between vaginal progesterone (VPG) and VPG + oral progesterone (OPG) for luteal-phase support in hormone replacement therapy-frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET) cycles.Des…
Disulfidptosis and ferroptosis, recently identified patterns of programmed cell death, play pivotal roles in the progression of breast cancer. This study aimed to explore the potential of disulfidptosis and ferroptosis in the prognostic str…
BackgroundEnvironmental endocrine disruptor Di (2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) widely affects the health of human and animals including the reproductive system. However, there are few studies on the protective strategies for the maternal DE…
Non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) not only enables the detection of chromosomal anomalies in fetuses but also generates vast amounts of ultra-low-depth sequencing data, which can be leveraged for population genomic studies. Here, we pres…
