BACKGROUND: Elevated systemic oxidative stress contributes to endometrial damage. Individuals with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) exhibit significantly elevated oxidative stress; however, the potential role of oxidative stress in OSA-induced…

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML) model integrated with SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis to predict postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) following vaginal deliveries, offering a potential tool for personaliz…

Endometriosis has been increasingly associated with the aberrant regulation of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), particularly long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs). Despite the growing recognition of their biological significance, t…

The reprogrammed osteogenic phenotype of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) is considered a critical mechanism of vascular calcification (VC) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Currently, the RNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification is dec…

BACKGROUND: The success of in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in endometriosis patients varies widely, and predicting the likelihood of achieving a live birth remains a clinical challenge. This study aims t…

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to dissect the aetiological subgroups of postpartum haemorrhage (PPH) that occur after vaginal delivery in women with full-term singleton pregnancies. Our goal was to craft and validate predictive models to guid…

Nanodrug delivery systems (NDDS) have demonstrated broad application prospects in disease treatment, prevention, and diagnosis due to several advantages, including functionalization capability, high drug-loading capacity, drug stability pro…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does preimplantation genetic testing for aneuploidy (PGT-A) on cryopreserved unbiopsied blastocysts improve pregnancy outcomes for women with previous IVF-related pregnancy loss? METHODS: This retrospective observational…

BACKGROUND: Trophoblast cells are a critical component of retained products of conception (RPOC). While mifepristone is widely used as a non-invasive treatment for RPOC, its precise molecular mechanisms in trophoblast regulation remain poor…

Telomeres and telomerase play crucial roles in the initiation and progression of cancer. As biomarkers, they aid in distinguishing benign from malignant tissues. Despite the promising therapeutic potential of targeting telomeres and telomer…

OBJECTIVE: Little is known about the role of timing of physical activity in female reproductive disorders. These disorders include polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), endometriosis, infertility, and pregnancy-r…

Adenomyosis is characterized by the infiltration of endometrial glands and stroma into the myometrium which affects about 35% women at reproductive age. Women affected by adenomyosis always experience issues such as defective decidualizatio…

Pyroptosis is an inflammatory form of cell death involving caspase-1 or caspase-4/5/11, initiated by inflammasomes or cytoplasmic endotoxins as part of the immune defense. It is specifically characterized by Gasdermin-mediated pore formatio…

BACKGROUND: To validate previous age subgrouping methods and provide an optimal age reference for women planning to delay in vitro fertilization (IVF). METHODS: From July 2014 to March 2018, 3012 patients that received IVF/intracytoplasmic…

BACKGROUND: Some 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…

Abstract Background: The C-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index (CTI), a promising new marker, could evaluate the extent of inflammation. Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic inflammatory condition that is influenced by estrogen and…

OBJECTIVE: This prospective observational study aims to demonstrate the clinical efficacy of dienogest in treating endometriomas with a maximum diameter of ≥4 cm. METHODS: Patients (n = 81) with endometriomas (diameter of ≥4 cm) were enrol…

PURPOSE: To evaluate the embryological and pregnancy outcomes of women who failed in their first IVF treatment if they attempted a second cycle. METHODS: For evaluating the embryological outcomes, the study cohort included 1,227 women who …

BACKGROUND: Surgery for adnexal mass does occur in pregnant women and therefore the choice of surgery during pregnancy needs to be carefully considered and studied. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and feasibility of Laparo-endoscopi…

BACKGROUND: Female reproductive aging remains irreversible. More evidence is needed on how polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) affect the female reproductive lifespan. OBJECTIVES: To identify and validate specific PUFAs that can influence …

Uterine myomas are the most common pelvic tumors in women, which can lead to abnormal uterine bleeding, abdominal pain, pelvic compression symptoms, infertility, or adverse pregnancy. In this article, we provide a dataset named uterine myom…

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a diverse form of female infertility characterized by a decline in ovarian function before the age of 40. Melatonin (MT) is a potential clinical treatment for restoring or safeguarding ovarian functi…

Abstract Objective Endometriosis lacks effective early intervention and treatment. Our objective is to explore potential protein drug targets in serum for endometriosis and different subtypes of endometriosis, using Mendelian randomization …
