IntroductionPrevious reports have noted associations between infertility in women and increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in later life. However, reports conflict regarding the associations between infertility and CVD risk…
The function of peripheral nociceptors, the neurons that relay pain signals to the brain, are frequently tuned by local and systemic modulator substances. In this context, neurohormonal effects are emerging as an important modulatory mechan…
IntroductionResearch suggests that sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction is responsible for 15% to 30% of reported low back pain cases. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in SIJ fusion using minimally invasive surgery (MIS) due to…
The function of peripheral nociceptors is frequently tuned by the action of G protein-coupled receptors (GPRs) that are expressed in them, which contribute to pain alteration. Expanding new information on such GPRs and predicting their pote…
Few studies have focused on clinical courses or viral loads in young asymptomatic or mild patients with COVID-19 infection. We sought to better understand the clinical course and association between viral load and prevalence of pneumonia in…
ObjectivesThis pilot study evaluated whether contrast-enhanced subharmonic imaging (SHI) could be used to characterize adnexal masses before surgical intervention.MethodsTen women (with 12 lesions) scheduled for surgery of an ovarian mass u…
ObjectiveThe extent to which infertility and pregnancy independently increase risk of diabetes and subclinical atherosclerosis is not known.Research design and methodsWe conducted a secondary analysis of Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) an…
Mesonephric adenocarcinoma is a rare tumor that is considered to develop from mesonephric remnants of the female genital tract. This tumor usually occurs in the lateral wall of the uterine cervix. Herein, we present an exceptionally rare ca…
PurposeOvarian cancer is a leading cause of gynecologic malignancy. As symptoms of ovarian cancer are nonspecific, only 20 % of ovarian cancers are diagnosed while they are still limited to the ovaries. Thus, early and accurate detection of…
PurposeBorderline ovarian tumors (BOTs) are more common in young women of reproductive age, and exhibit a better prognosis than malignant ovarian tumors (MOTs). Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/…
