This study aims to assess associations of dyslipidemia with in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes in women undergoing their first ovarian stimulation and whether age, body mass index, or lipid levels modify these …

Evidence remains unknown regarding the associations between PM2.5 and its components exposure and dynamic progression of different assisted reproductive outcomes in participants undergoing fresh embryo transfer. We included infertile partic…

Accumulating observational evidence suggests an association between thyroid function and endometriosis, though the causal relationship remains unclear. To investigate potential bidirectional causal relationships, including for endometriosis…

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 …

ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate alterations in immune cell counts within preovulatory follicles of patients with poor ovarian response (POR) during assisted reproductive technology (ART), classified according to the POSEIDON criteri…

BackgroundSome recent studies have shown that female subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) is associated with diminished ovarian reserve (DOR). In this study, we aimed to investigate whether serum-free thyroxine (fT4) concentrations within the r…

Diaphragm tumors are very rare, with secondary tumors being more common than primary tumors. The most common benign primary tumors include lipomas and cysts, and malignant primary tumors include rhabdomyosarcoma and leiomyosarcoma. Endometr…

BackgroundDensity gradient centrifugation (DGC) and swim-up (SU) are the two most widely used sperm preparation methods for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). However, existing comparisons of IVF/ICSI …

Microinvasive squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the cervix is labeled by the lower anogenital squamous terminology as superficial invasive squamous cell carcinoma (SISCCA). This currently conforms to the T1a1/FIGO IA1 stage, which is defined…

OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of this study was to establish the presence of nerve fibers in the eutopic endometrium of women with endometriosis and to determine whether these nerve fibers are exclusive to endometriosis or are also found…

To determine the incidence of accidentally diagnosed genital malignancies in women undergoing gynecological surgeries for pathologies presumed to be benign.

"Minimal deviation adenocarcinoma" of the uterine cervix (MDA), historically known as Adenoma Malignum, is a rare variant of cervical adenocarcinoma. Both the clinicians and pathologists must be vigilant about this entity as it could be mis…

BackgroundEvidence suggests that subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and thyroid autoimmunity (TAI) are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes. This systematic review and meta-analysis was conducted to determine whether levothyroxine (LT4)…

Endometrial stromal sarcomas (ESSs) are rare malignant tumors of the uterus that arise from the endometrial stroma, the annual incidence of ESS being 1-2/million women. Patients present with nonspecific complaints of abnormal uterine bleedi…

Laparoscopic pyeloplasty is viable standard minimally invasive alternative to open pyeloplasty for the treatment of ureteropelvic junction obstruction. Intrathoracic bleeding is an extremely rare complication after laparoscopic urological s…
