Pregnancy is a special time during which some benign hormonally-responsive lesions could grow and mimic malignancy on clinical evaluation and imaging. Though decidualization of ovarian endometrioma has been reported, little is known about d…
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is recognized as one of the leading causes of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide, representing a rapidly growing global public health concern. Despite significant advance…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease and a major contributor to dysmenorrhea that substantially reduces the quality of life of the affected. Dienogest has emerged as a promising drug for treating adenomyosis. A few syst…
Drug repositioning presents a compelling strategy to accelerate therapeutic development by uncovering new indications for existing compounds. However, current computational methods are often limited in their ability to integrate heterogeneo…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of music therapy combined with mindfulness-based stress reduction on psychological state, pain and sleep in patients with uterine adenomyosis after high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) ablation. ME…
This study investigates changes in regional homogeneity (ReHo) of the brain in patients with adenomyosis accompanied by dysmenorrhea (AMD) before and after uterine artery embolization (UAE) surgery. ReHo is a resting-state functional magnet…
BackgroundUnexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (uRPL), defined as the loss of two or more pregnancies without an identified cause, affects approximately 1-2% of women trying to conceive. Emerging evidence suggests that an imbalance in mater…
As a complex chronic gynecological disorder characterized by multifaceted etiology involving genetics, environment, immunity and inflammation, endometriosis (EM) has long been a significant concern for women of reproductive age worldwide. T…
INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a prevalent, estrogen-dependent, inflammatory disease that impairs fertility via hormonal dysregulation, immune dysfunction, oxidative stress/ferroptosis, genetic and epigenetic alterations, and microbiome imb…
This article introduces a novel case report of a patient exhibiting endometriosis within the para-aortic lymph nodes, concomitant with cystic adenomyosis and notably lacking pelvic endometriosis, alongside the sequencing analysis of her les…
BackgroundEndoscopic gallbladder-preserving cholecystolithotomy (EGPC) has become an alternative option for treating cholecystolithiasis. However, developing a new method of EGPC in which the gallbladder wall is not damaged remains a challe…
Biofilms increase bacterial resistance to antibiotics, as conventional antibiotic doses are often ineffective at penetrating the biofilm matrix to eliminate bacteria. Recent research has shown that the Gram-negative predator bacterium Bdell…
BackgroundInfertility affects millions globally, with significant social, emotional, and economic consequences. While frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) is a cornerstone of assisted reproductive technology, its clinical pregnancy success r…
PurposeThis study aims to establish a single-time point RNA-sequencing-based endometrial receptivity test (rsERT) to provide hourly precision of endometrial WOI for patients with recurrent implantation failure (RIF).MethodsA two-phase study…
This study aimed to elucidate the role of microRNA-92a-3p (miR-92a-3p) in the pathogenesis of adenomyosis. We examined how miR-92a-3p, found in exosomes derived from ectopic lesions, influences the behaviour of endometrial cells, dorsal roo…
BACKGROUND: Substantial impacts on the female reproductive system have been definitively linked to heightened levels of serum uric acid. However, evidence directly linking increased serum uric acid levels to endometriosis in women remains s…
BackgroundUrinary incontinence (UI) is commonly linked to pregnancy and obstetric factors, but the association between fetal birthweight and maternal UI remains contentious. This study investigates the association between fetal birthweight …
OBJECTIVE: To analyse global prevalence data for infertility due to endometriosis from 1990 to 2021, emphasising health inequalities. DESIGN: Population-based study. SETTING: Data from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database. POPULAT…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a prevalent gynecological condition among women of reproductive age and is commonly associated with heavy menstrual bleeding, severe dysmenorrhea, and infertility. These symptoms impose a substantial burden on bot…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological disease. Previous studies have explored relationships between endometriosis and the microbiota, but none have focused on differences in gut microbiota between early-stage and…
Background: Endometriosis (EM) is a prevalent and complex disease affecting women of reproductive age, with significant individual and societal burdens. Despite extensive research, the underlying etiology of EM remains poorly understood. Pr…
Abstract Introduction Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder characterized by immune dysregulation. This condition profoundly affects the quality of life and reproductive health of nearly 200 million women of rep…
Background: Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in the female reproductive system. The oxidative balance score (OBS) is a new measure for assessing the balance between antioxidant and pro-oxidative factors in diet and lifestyle. However, …
BackgroundHeart failure (HF) represents the terminal stage of various cardiovascular disorders, with immunogenic cell death (ICD) potentially influencing HF progression through modulation of immune cell activity. This study aimed to identif…
In addition to its classical function in regulating phosphorus and calcium equilibrium, the immunoregulatory effects of vitamin D (VD) have increasingly drawn attention in recent investigations. A deficiency of VD has been associated with m…
