Current research suggests a link between chronic pancreatitis (CP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), although the causality remains unclear. The aim of this study was therefore to conduct a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to …

PURPOSE: Adenomatoid tumor (AT) of the uterus is a rare benign neoplasm of mesothelial origin. To date, few studies have reported the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings and clinicopathologic features of uterine ATs. This study aimed …

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the mechanism of Angelica sinensis polysac-charide (ASP) ameliorating endometriosis (EMT) via the Kelch-like epichlorohydrin-associated protein 1 (Keap1)/nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxy…

BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is a lethal gynecological malignancy, with ~70% of patients diagnosed at advanced stages (5-year survival <30%) due to suboptimal early detection tools. Current modalities [e.g., carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125), …

This case report demonstrates the enhanced visualization capabilities of FAPI in visualizing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions compared to ultrasonography and MRI, suggesting its potential as a powerful diagnostic tool in the fu…

OBJECTIVE: To develop a pre-percutaneous microwave ablation (PMWA) model combining conventional ultrasound (CUS) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for predicting non-perfused volume ratio (NPVR) ≥ 80% in patients with uterine fibroids…

BACKGROUND: The adverse impacts of homeostasis disturbance of plasma trace elements on female reproduction, including premature ovarian insufficiency (POI), have received increasing attention recently, yet limited evidence has been reported…

BACKGROUND: Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) is a heterogeneous inflammatory sinonasal disease with variable radiologic and symptom burden. Dietary antioxidant capacity and insulin resistance may be related to CRS burden, but their interrelatio…

The C-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index (CTI) is a novel marker that integrates systemic inflammation and insulin resistance, both of which are associated with renal injury. However, population-based data on its associations with …

Conventional in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcome prediction is limited by static, single-endpoint analyses. We aimed to overcome this by using a multistate model to dissect the stage-specific and, crucially, the non-linear influence of end…

PURPOSE: This study aimed to summarize the clinical characteristics, surgical management, and follow-up outcomes of patients with severe renal impairment caused by ureteral endometriosis. METHODS: We conducted a retrospective analysis of t…

OBJECTIVES: To compare the application value of 4-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (4D-HyCoSy) and x-ray hysterosalpingography (HSG) in intrauterine insemination (IUI) patients. METHODS: In this retrospective study, a total …

BACKGROUND: Pelvic floor myofascial pain (PFMP) is an important yet often overlooked cause of chronic pelvic pain (CPP). The currently available diagnostic methods are limited due to issues such as insufficient efficacy and difficulties in …

PURPOSE: This study aimed to construct a simple nomogram model to predict the benign or malignant nature of ovarian masses. METHODS: A total of 794 patients with ovarian masses from two independent medical centers between 2017 and 2024 wer…

PURPOSE: This study aims to investigate the role of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) in corneal tissue repair in alkali burn and its underlying neuro-immune mechanisms. METHODS: Mouse corneal nerves were ablated via surgery or resini…

BACKGROUND: In clinical practice, the management of luteinizing hormone (LH) levels during controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) with gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist (GnRH-ant) protocols presents a significant challenge that c…

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease in which lipid metabolic dysregulation has been increasingly implicated. However, the specific metabolic changes in ectopic lesions and stromal cells remain poorly understood. It is also uncle…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynaecological condition with high recurrence rates after fertility-preserving laparoscopic surgery, and optimal postoperative medical treatment remains unclear. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effic…

BACKGROUND: Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a major challenge in in vitro fertilization (IVF). The window of implantation (WOI) is the endometrium’s receptive period for embryos, and endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA) is a poten…

BACKGROUND: The impact of long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) on female sexual function remains a controversial and often overlooked issue. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of three common LARC methods on female sexual funct…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate rimegepant’s effectiveness and safety in the short-term prevention of pure menstrual migraine. BACKGROUND: Rimegepant’s effectiveness and safety in both acute and preventive treatment of migraine have been demonstrate…

Exposure to harmful environments during pregnancy and maternal nutritional status are key factors that affect offspring development; however, the underlying mechanisms of maternal-fetal interaction remain to be elucidated. In recent years, …

BACKGROUND: Tuberculosis (TB) is among the top 10 causes of global death, and patient delay is a key factor causing higher mortality. This study intends to analyze the associated factors with TB patient delay. METHODS: Embase, Cochrane Lib…

PURPOSE: The growing antimicrobial resistance in Neisseria gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae) complicates the elimination of gonococcal infections and increases the risk of female infertility. In this study, we investigated the antimicrobial susc…
