Background/Objectives: The treatment options for endometriosis vary depending on individual needs and clinical circumstances. To preserve ovarian reserve, ethanol catheter-directed sclerotherapy may be considered as a treatment option. We c…

Sex differences in immune system aging significantly impact disease susceptibility and vaccine responses among older adults, but with notable disparities between men and women. This area has gained importance because vaccines can exhibit di…

BackgroundAdvanced hemostatic devices (AHDs) are widely utilized in gynecologic minimally invasive surgeries. These AHDs control ultrasonic or bipolar electric/thermal energy with a feedback mechanism and effectively seal vessels without th…

Despite the fact that endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that occurs in 10% of women of reproductive age, the pathogenesis and treatment strategy are not clear to date. Endometriosis patients are commonly characterized by adhes…

Objective: The prevalence of steatotic liver disease (SLD) is rising globally, while endometriosis is a leading cause of infertility. Although links with metabolic syndrome have been reported, its relationship with SLD remains unclear. We …

Abstract Thyroid hormone receptors (TRs) mediate the genomic actions of thyroid hormone. Mutations of THRA gene cause a human disease known as resistance to thyroid hormone (RTHα). We created a mouse model expressing a dominant negative mut…

Elevated blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels induced by secondary causes are frequently observed. The identification and appropriate handling of these causes are essential for secondary dyslipidemia treatment. Major secondary causes o…

This study is aimed at identifying variations in the effect of endometriosis on fecundity in a mouse model based on prior pregnancy experience. Endometriosis is one of the most prevalent gynecological diseases and is known to impact female …

BackgroundGiven the extensive translation of the Prolapse Quality of Life Questionnaire (P-QoL) into many languages, it is imperative to develop an Arabic version to facilitate the study of pelvic organ health within the Arabian culture.Obj…

The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and mRNAs (DEmRNAs) in the endometrium of individuals with and without endometriosis (EMS) during the proliferative (P) and secretory (S) phases of the menst…

The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed lncRNAs (DElncRNAs) and mRNAs (DEmRNAs) in the endometrium of individuals with and without EMS during the proliferative (P) and secretory (S) phases of the menstrual cycle. Tiss…

The function of peripheral nociceptors, the neurons that relay pain signals to the brain, are frequently tuned by local and systemic modulator substances. In this context, neurohormonal effects are emerging as an important modulatory mechan…

ObjectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic performance of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) using tapered-slit membrane filter (TSF)-based chipsets for the differential diagnosis of adnexal tumors.MethodsA total of 230 women with indeterminate adnexa…

Based on analyses of 22,487,947 person-years of follow-up data in a cohort of 2,523,565 young females, we found that the presence of depression was associated with a higher cumulative incidence of new-onset uterine leiomyoma than the absenc…

BackgroundGyejibokryeong-hwan (GBH), a herbal mixture that is widely used for climacteric syndrome, is studied for its efficacy; however, no study evaluated the GBH indication, which is a blood-stasis pattern based on traditional Chinese me…

Much of the current literature on the adverse effects occurring after the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccination focused on serious adverse events (AEs). Consequently, the non-serious AEs have yet to be comprehensively elucidated. …

A 9-month-old, female Pomeranian dog presented with vomiting and lethargy. Ultrasonography revealed multilobulated anechoic round shape structures at the ovarian and uterine locations. Through computed tomography scan, an extensive non-cont…

BackgroundVenous thrombosis associated with the use of oral contraceptives (OCs) occurs mostly in the deep veins of the lower extremity. A lesion of the upper extremity is rare, and the majority of thrombotic events that occur in the superf…

The function of peripheral nociceptors is frequently tuned by the action of G protein-coupled receptors (GPRs) that are expressed in them, which contribute to pain alteration. Expanding new information on such GPRs and predicting their pote…

Abstract Background: There are many studies regarding the increased relationship between pregnancy outcomes and obstetrical complications of singleton with endometriosis such as preterm birth, preeclampsia, placenta previa, and small for ge…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risks of developing gestational diabetes (GDM) and pregnancy-induced hypertension (PIH) in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) using data from Korea's National Health Insurance Service. METHOD: The PCOS g…

OBJECTIVE: The vaginal microbiome protects the female genital tract from various diseases, such as vaginitis, a vaginal inflammation characterized by abnormal discharge, itching, and pain. To evaluate the clinical relationship between the v…

Serum biomarkers are often insufficiently sensitive or specific to facilitate cancer screening or diagnostic testing. In ovarian cancer, the few established serum biomarkers are highly specific, yet insufficiently sensitive to detect early-…
