Abstract Objective To identify risk factors for postoperative pelvic–abdominal infection after total laparoscopic hysterectomy in patients with benign gynecological diseases and to develop and validate a clinically applicable prediction m…

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) have been previously associated with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). However, the health effects of emerging PFAS alternatives on PCOS remain unclear. This study aims to examine the associations …

BackgroundOver 2.5 million cycles in vitro fertilization (IVF) are conducted annually, and numbers are expected to rise with the aging population. The controlled ovarian stimulation (COS) process, key to IVF success, is inherently complex. …

The m5C modification is one of the widely occurring modifications on RNA. In recent years, m5C modification on RNA has increasingly become a focal point in cancer research. Nevertheless, investigating scientific and quantitative research on…

Background and objectiveIleal ureter replacement (IUR) is the definitive management approach for extensive ureteral strictures (UrSs). Patients with UrS exhibit poor health-related quality of life (HRQoL). We conducted a long-term, multi-in…

The risk of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) associated with in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) in the context of mid-trimester pregnancy loss remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of IVF-ET on the inci…

Müllerian duct anomalies presenting within an inguinal hernia are exceptionally rare in adult women. We report a case of an irreducible inguinal hernia containing a noncommunicating (type III) rudimentary uterine horn with the ipsilateral f…

Uterine infertility is a substantial global health challenge, imposing profound physical and emotional burdens on affected individuals, with endometrial injury being a key contributing factor. In this study, we report that platelet-derived …

BackgroundRecurrent implantation failure (RIF) and recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) are major causes of pathological early pregnancy, yet their mechanisms remain poorly understood. This study aimed to identify shared molecular mediators and t…

BackgroundThe relationship between the vascular flow index (VFI) of the endometrium and the pregnancy outcome in the frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle remains controversial, and there is currently no recommended optimal range for VFI.Objec…

BackgroundCompared with overnight insemination, it remains uncertain whether short-term insemination can improve outcomes in poor responders, and few studies have used cumulative live birth rate as the primary endpoint. The study aims to co…

Uterine Corpus Endometrial Carcinoma (UCEC) represents a common malignant neoplasm in women, with its prognosis being intricately associated with available therapeutic interventions. In the past few decades, there has been a burgeoning inte…

BackgroundHyperuricemia (HUA) has become popular globally, being an important risk factor for various metabolic diseases. Elevated serum uric acid (UA) levels cause adverse reproductive outcomes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome under…

PurposeThis study aimed to monitor the expression of B-cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2) in granulosa cells of patients undergoing IVF/ICSI with respect blastocyst quality outcomes.MethodsWe recruited 181 women undergoing IVF/ICSI cycles for…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Can bioinformatics-driven identification of hub genes in granulosa cells be used to predict oocyte developmental potential in patients with endometriosis (EMS)-related infertility? DESIGN: This was an exploratory cohort …

PurposeBecause hearing impairment as an invisible disability is not considered to have serious body image problems, the impact of body image on negative emotions of deaf or hard-of-hearing (DHH) college students has been relatively neglecte…

BackgroundThe chronic low back pain (cLBP) literature rarely includes comprehensive characterization of demographic and biomedical factors in a large sample of individuals. The University of Pittsburgh Mechanistic Research Center, entitled,…

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory disease which causes dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and infertility in women of childbearing age, significantly impacting their quality of life and physical and mental health. …

ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of the Peiyu Granules (PYG) compared with placebo on early miscarriage rates among women undergoing embryo transfer.MethodsA double-blind, parallel-group randomized clinical trial between Februar…

ObjectiveThe study aimed to explore the effects of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) gel on vaginal microecology and stump healing, as well as its underlying mechanism.MethodsFrom December 2022 to August 2024, 100 patients who underwent laparoscop…

BackgroundPolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has been extensively studied as a common female endocrine disease. In recent years, the relationship between circadian rhythm and PCOS has gradually drawn attention, although the precise nature of …

BackgroundDespite the wide utilization of physical tests and pain assessments to evaluate individuals with chronic low back pain (cLBP), there is limited information about their feasibility in terms of test duration, the ability of individu…

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 …

Myofascial pain syndrome (MPS) is a common chronic pain condition characterized primarily by the presence of myofascial trigger points (MTrPs). While the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor (IGF-1R) is known to be upregulated in injured m…

PurposeTo compare the clinical outcomes of extremely poor responders with one or two oocytes who receive in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).MethodsA retrospective study was carried out on 2572 patients …
