BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological condition characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic inflammation, pelvic nodules and masses, pelvic pain, and infertility. …

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is caused by mutations in the gene encoding hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS), a key enzyme in the heme biosynthesis pathway. AIP is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by low penetrance and a h…

BACKGROUND: Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index has been found to be associated with female reproductive disorders, but its relationship with the risk of endometriosis is unknown. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate this relati…

BACKGROUND: The low live birth rate and difficult decision-making of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment regimen bring great trouble to patients and clinicians. Based on the retrospective clinical data of patients undergoing the IVF …

PURPOSE: This study investigated the clinicopathological features and surgical procedures of adnexal masses with abdominal pain in pediatric and adolescent patients. Our objective was to better define the clinical presentation of adnexal to…

BACKGROUND: Decidualization is a critical step in establishing pregnancy in mammals. Successful decidualization depends on intricate gland-stromal crosstalk. Clusterin (Clu) is a ubiquitously secreted protein in physiological fluids that is…

This study aims to construct and validate a nomogram for the differential diagnosis of ovarian endometriosis cyst versus ovarian cystadenoma. We retrospectively studied the clinical characteristics of patients with ovarian endometriosis cys…

BACKGROUND: For the poor ovarian response (POR) population, the relationship between medroxyprogesterone acetate (MPA) dose in progestin-primed ovarian stimulation (PPOS) and clinical outcome is still unclear. This study aims to explore the…

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…
