BACKGROUND: Accurate prediction of the biological behavior of cervical squamous cell carcinoma (CSCC) is essential for optimizing therapeutic strategies and enhancing patient outcomes. This study aims to develop and validate a radiomics nom…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of multimodal vaginal ultrasound in assessing post-caesarean scar healing. METHODS: A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted on Chinese and English studies using multimodal vaginal ultrasound …

BACKGROUND: The abdominal wall is one of the rare sites of endometriosis, and its clinical incidence is increasing year by year with the increasing cesarean section rate nowadays. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was made on patients with…

Perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) is a widely used chemical in industrial production. It can be introduced into the environment through multiple pathways and exhibits resistance to degradation. Recent research has demonstrated a significant …

Abstract Objective To analyse and summarise the clinical characteristics, diagnosis, treatment and prognostic features of abdominal wall endometriosis. Methods A retrospective analysis of patients with abdominal wall endometriosis who atte…

While endometriosis is a common gynecologic disease associated with infertility, the psychosocial impact of endometriosis has not been evaluated against various quality of life (QoL) instruments and compared with other chronic illnesses. We…

RationaleCervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma shows gastric differentiation, and the tumor cell morphology appears benign and unrelated to human papillomavirus, which makes cervical gastric-type adenocarcinoma highly susceptible to misdiagn…

Tryptophan (TRP) and its indole metabolites exhibit numerous biological effects, especially their antioxidant properties. This study used untargeted metabolomics in conjunction with targeted metabolomics to investigate the differential expr…

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate the factors affecting the ectopic pregnancy (EP) rate in the frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycle.MethodsThis study retrospectively analyzed 5606 FET cycles, including 5496 cycles resulting in in…

Population isolates such as those in Finland benefit genetic research because deleterious alleles are often concentrated on a small number of low-frequency variants (0.1% ≤ minor allele frequency < 5%). These variants survived the founding …

BACKGROUND: Transformation of endometriosis to malignancy is a rare occurrence. Clear cell ovarian cancer and endometrioid ovarian cancer are the two histotypes most consistently linked to endometriosis. The exact pathways leading to malign…

BackgroundThis study aims to study whether the change of endometrial thickness between the day of human chorionic gonadotrophin (HCG) administration and the day of embryo transfer (ET) has any effect on ectopic pregnancy (EP) rate following…

AIM: To investigate the value of amide proton transfer weighted (APTw) imaging and R2∗ mapping of cystic fluid in differentiating ovarian endometriotic cysts (OE) from other ovarian cystic (OOC) lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 4…

ObjectiveTo explore the efficacy of progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) combined with clomiphene citrate (CC) versus PPOS protocol used alone on cycle characteristics and pregnancy outcomes for women with the poor ovarian response (…

A dysregulated immune microenvironment at the maternal-fetal interface in early pregnancy may lead to early pregnancy loss, fetal growth restriction, and preeclampsia. However, major questions about how epigenetic modifications regulate the…

Endometriosis (EMs) is a common cause for female infertility, leading to the need for in vitro fertilization (IVF). In clinics, we found the operative oocyte retrieval to be more or less difficult in women with EMs. We hypothesized that EMs…

ObjectiveWomen with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) have an exceptionally high risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). Yet, little is known about genetic determinants for T2D in this population. We examined the association of a gen…

ImportanceUS health care spending has continued to increase and now accounts for 18% of the US economy, although little is known about how spending on each health condition varies by payer, and how these amounts have changed over time.Objec…

PURPOSE: To investigate the expression and relevant clinical and pathological significance of AT-rich interactive domaincontaining protein 1A (ARID1A) mRNA in endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. METHODS: The clinical and pathological d…

Aims/hypothesisGestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common complication of pregnancy that has substantial short- and long-term adverse health implications for women and their children. However, large-scale studies on genetic risk loci f…

Angiogenesis is a critical factor in tumor growth and metastasis, and microvessel density (MVD) was an important parameter for assessing vessels in tumors. However, radiologic assessment of tumor vascularity is not yet well established. In …
