The comorbidity between endometriosis and migraine has long been recognized clinically, yet a unifying pathophysiological explanation has remained elusive. Traditional models, centered on hormonal fluctuations or secondary inflammation are …
BACKGROUND: Inflammation is central to the pathogenesis of endometriosis. High-density lipoprotein (HDL)-related lipid ratios have been proposed as indicators of systemic metabolic inflammation, yet their associations with endometriosis sta…
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is a major female reproductive health issue with heterogeneous biological features on its subtypes, which may require different therapeutic strategies. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists were repor…
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare form of spontaneous pneumothorax associated with thoracic endometriosis and is exceptionally uncommon in adolescents. We report a 14-year-old girl with early menarche and heavy menses who presented wit…
Female reproductive disorders influence women's physical and mental well-being, and the sustainability of the family. However, it is unclear whether lifestyle factors, including sedentary behaviors and physical activity, could impact them. …
In the past century, the human Lifespan has doubled. However, this is not equivalent to Healthspan which refers to the number of years spent healthy and free from disease. Women have an additional level of complexity on the path to optimal …
STUDY QUESTION: Does polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) represent a human model for reproductive longevity? SUMMARY ANSWER: Asian women with PCOS have enhanced ovarian reserve and ART outcomes, even at an advanced maternal age. WHAT IS KNOW…
Endometriosis (EMs) with anxiety/depression is a common comorbidity of EMs, yet effective treatments are still lacking. Leaves of Paeonia suffruticosa Andr. (PSL) have potential therapeutic effects on EMs and their associated psychiatric di…
BACKGROUND: Acetyl tributyl citrate (ATBC), a widely used plasticizer, has raised concerns regarding its reproductive toxicity. However, its molecular mechanisms in female infertility and ovarian damage remain poorly characterized. This stu…
BACKGROUND: The link between insulin resistance and endometriosis is not well established. The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index serves as a straightforward and economical indicator of insulin resistance. This study examines the link between…
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown the interaction between age and socioeconomic status (SES) on the risk of infertility in the UK, but the association is still unclear in the United States. Therefore, the present study investigated th…
In view of their low immunogenicity, biomimetic internal environment, tissue- and organ-like physicochemical properties, and functionalization potential, decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM) materials attract considerable attention an…
BACKGROUND: There is limited concrete evidence connecting serum uric acid levels to female infertility. Therefore, this study aimed to find out if serum uric acid levels are independently related to female infertility. METHODS: From the Na…
BACKGROUND: Follicle dysplasia can cause polycystic ovary syndrome, which can lead to anovulatory infertility. This study explored gene(s) that may contribute to polycystic ovary syndrome. METHODS: Three animal models of polycystic ovary s…
BACKGROUND: Compare the diagnostic performance of ultrasound (US), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and serum tumor markers alone or in combination for detecting ovarian tumors. AIM: To investigate the diagnostic value of US, MRI combined…
BACKGROUND: Women with premenstrual disorders (PMDs) are at increased risks of suicidal behavior and accidents. However, the effect of PMD first-line treatment on such risks have not been assessed. METHODS: To study the association between…
BACKGROUND: The worldwide impact of COVID-19 has reached all spheres of human health. Individuals may also experience unique changes in their sexual behaviors during the COVID-19 self-isolation/social distancing period. Studies in many coun…
PURPOSE: MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNA molecules that play critical roles in post-transcriptional gene expression regulation. The aim of this study was to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in decidua and villus of recur…
