OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effectiveness of Information, Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice (IKAP) nursing in the perioperative care of endometriosis patients treated with laparoscopic surgery. METHODS: A total of 100 patients with endometr…
PURPOSE: To develop a deep learning (DL) model for differentiating between benign and malignant ovarian tumors of Ovarian-Adnexal Reporting and Data System Ultrasound (O-RADS US) Category 4 lesions, and validate its diagnostic performance. …
RATIONALE: Intravascular/intravenous leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a peculiar variant of uterine leiomyoma that is classified as a histologically benign smooth muscle tumor with a biological behavior similar to that of a malignant tumor. It is ch…
PURPOSE: Can small RNA derived from embryos in conditioned embryo culture medium (ECM) influence embryo implantation? METHODS: We employed small RNA sequencing to investigate the expression profiles of transfer RNA-derived small RNA (tsRNA…
STUDY OBJECTIVES: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) confers a high risk of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). Here we investigated the effect of OSA on first in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycle metrics and outcomes in patients with PCOS. METHODS…
In this multicenter, non-inferiority, randomized trial, we randomly assigned 992 women undergoing in-vitro fertilization (IVF) with a good prognosis (aged 20-40, ≥3 transferrable cleavage-stage embryos) to strategies of blastocyst-stage (n …
BACKGROUND: Hysterectomy is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in the United States and most are now being performed in a minimally invasive approach. Electrosurgery and vessel sealing devices are needed in order to provid…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) results in approximately 50% of reproductive-age women facing infertility. Currently, no precise model is available to predict successful postoperative pregnancy. METHODS: This study involved 81 patients wit…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMS) and chronic endometritis (CE) frequently coexist. This study aimed to examine the impact of CE on reproductive outcomes in patients with EMS. METHODS: We enrolled 685 patients with endometriosis-associated i…
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological condition characterized by chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility, affecting ≈176 million women of reproductive age worldwide. Current treatments, including pharmacological and surgical…
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue (glands and stroma) outside the confines of the uterus and often involves vital organs such as the intestines and urinary system. Endometriosis is consider…
INTRODUCTION: Reproductive endocrine disorders (RED), including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis (EMs), and female infertility (FI), significantly affect women's health globally, with varying prevalence across different regio…
Abstract Background Reproductive endocrine disorders (RED) including polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis (EMs), and female infertility (FI), significantly affect women's health globally, with varying prevalence across different …
Hazardous chemicals in building and construction plastics can lead to health risks due to indoor exposure and may contaminate recycled materials. We systematically sampled new polyvinyl chloride floorings on the Swiss market (n = 151). We p…
The impaired endometrial receptivity is a major factor contributing to infertility in patients with endometriosis (EM), but the underlying mechanism remains unclear. Our study aimed to investigate the role of Kruppel-like factor 15 (KLF15) …
Lymphatic vessels, comprising the secondary circulatory system in human body, play a multifaceted role in maintaining homeostasis among various tissues and organs. They are tasked with a serious of responsibilities, including the regulation…
OBJECTIVES: Our study tries to investigate the effect of the Mediterranean diet (MeDiet) on assisted reproductive treatment outcomes in women after COVID-19 infection. DESIGN: A prospective observational cohort study in the Reproductive an…
Pregnancy is a highly intricate and delicate process, where inflammation during early stages may lead to pregnancy loss or defective implantation. Melatonin, primarily produced by the pineal gland, exerts several pharmacological effects. N6…
DNA damage is a key factor affecting gametogenesis and embryo development. The integrity and stability of DNA are fundamental to a woman's successful conception, embryonic development, pregnancy and the production of healthy offspring. Agin…
We evaluated the diagnostic performance of a multimodal deep-learning (DL) model for ovarian mass differential diagnosis. This single-center retrospective study included 1,054 ultrasound (US)-detected ovarian tumors (699 benign and 355 mali…
BACKGROUND: Accurate preoperative diagnosis of endometrial cancer (EC) with deep myometrial invasion (DMI) is critical to deciding whether to perform lymphadenectomy. However, the presence of adenomyosis makes distinguishing DMI from superf…
BACKGROUND: The relationship between genetic immune dysregulation and the occurrence of preeclampsia (PE) or PE with fetal growth restriction (PE with FGR) has yielded inconsistent findings, and the underlying mediators of this association …
Hypertriglyceridemia is a common cause of acute pancreatitis (AP). Fatty liver, a manifestation of metabolic syndrome, is related to the severity of AP. The present study aimed to construct an accurate predictive model for severe AP (SAP) b…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to establish a protocol for efficiently isolating and expanding adenomyotic lesion-derived endometrial mesenchymal stem cells (A-eMSCs) in vitro. METHODS: Three different methods-namely, the enzymatic method, the …
