BACKGROUND: Over the last two decades, serum levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) have been shown to be reliable markers of ovarian reserve. This study aimed to compare baseline serum AMH levels and well-controlled clinical factors betwee…

Endometriosis is characterized by the implantation of endometrial cells outside the uterus. This hormone-dependent disease is highly prevalent among women of reproductive age. Clinical symptoms of endometriosis include dysmenorrhea, pelvic …

Abstract Background Tetrabromobisphenol A (TBBPA) has endocrine-disrupting effect and has been widely used as brominated flame retardant in industrial products. The endocrine-disrupting chemical has effects on female reproduction such as in…

The female reproductive system becomes fertile through the action of hormones involved in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis. On the other hand, estrogen-like endocrine disruptors released into the environment come into contact with hu…

Angioleiomyoma, a rare variant of leiomyoma, is a benign tumor of mesenchymal origin. Angioleiomyomas of the female urogenital tract are extremely rare, with only six cases of uterine cervical angioleiomyoma previously reported in the liter…

BackgroundThere is little evidence as to whether the use of oral contraceptives(OC) during the fertile years affects the development of postmenopausal hypertension. This study aimed to evaluate the association between past use of OC and dev…

OBJECTIVE: Revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine (rASRM) classification for endometriosis is considered to have limited ability to predict fertility after surgery. This study evaluated the effect of surgical findings described …

Background/aimShort-term feasibility and safety of single-port total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH) compared with conventional multi-port TLH have been previously demonstrated. However, recent studies are insufficient. This study aimed to …

ObjectiveTo determine the prevalence of neuropsychological outcomes in individuals with type 1 diabetes compared to individuals with type 2 diabetes or without diabetes, and to evaluate the association of diabetes status and microvascular/m…

BackgroundAlthough single-incision robotic cholecystectomy (SIRC) overcomes various limitations of single-incision laparoscopic cholecystectomy (SILC), it is associated with high cost. In this study, we intended to investigate if SIRC is re…

Oxidative stress is a pathological condition occurring due to an imbalance between the oxidants and antioxidant defense systems in the body. Nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (NRF2), encoded by the gene NFE2L2, is the master regulator of p…

Background/aimSome metastatic tumors that involve the fallopian tube show intraepithelial spread, mimicking primary tubal neoplasm and representing a potential diagnostic pitfall. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinicopathologic…

BackgroundThere are no guidelines for the optimal incubation time or temperature to improve pregnancy outcomes in testicular sperm extraction-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (TESE-ICSI) cycles. We aimed to evaluate whether a 24-hour in vit…

Cluster of differentiation 73 (CD73, also known as ecto-5'-nucleotidase) is an enzyme that converts AMP into adenosine. CD73 is a surface enzyme bound to the outside of the plasma membrane expressed in several cells and regulates immunity a…

AbstractPresenteeism refers to the practice of going to work despite poor health, resulting in subpar performance. This study aimed to explore the impacts of smoking and alcohol consumption on workplace presenteeism based on demographic, he…

BACKGROUND: Di-(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) is the most common endocrine disrupting chemical used as a plasticizer. DEHP is associated with the development of endometrium-related diseases through the induction of inflammation. The major …

Abstract Progesterone signaling and its proper regulation is important for reproductive function. When progesterone signaling is dysregulated, gynecological diseases can occur, for example endometriosis, uterine fibroids, and endometrial ca…

ObjectiveThe objective of this study is to evaluate the preoperative hematological parameters to predict ovarian torsion in patients with ovarian mature cystic teratoma. We also analyzed the diagnostic value of these makers to predict ovari…

BackgroundPrimary ovarian high-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma is a very rare disease. Even though it has poor prognosis, the gold standard treatment has not been established owing to its rarity. This report aimed to present therapeutic o…

Appendiceal intussusception secondary to endometriosis should be considered in the differential diagnosis when female patients of reproductive age present with clinical symptoms of acute appendicitis.

PurposeThis study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of single-port laparoscopic surgery (SLS) for appendiceal mucinous neoplasm (AMN) when compared with conventional laparoscopic surgery (CLS).MethodsThis retrospective study enro…

STUDY QUESTION: Can we reconstitute physiologically relevant 3-dimensional (3D) microengineered endometrium in-vitro model? SUMMARY ANSWER: Our representative microengineered vascularised endometrium on-a-chip closely recapitulates the end…

ObjectivesTo compare the efficacies of catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) with 99% ethanol and surgery for ovarian endometrioma and their impact on the ovarian reserve.MethodsFrom January 2011 to June 2019, 71 patients who underwent surg…

BackgroundTraditionally, menstrual education has consisted of lectures directed toward women. The objective of this study was to design an innovative menstrual education (ME) program that reflects the needs of both young women and men, and …
