A healthy endometrium is crucial for embryo implantation and pregnancy maintenance. Thin endometrium, reduced glands and fibrosis resulting from infection or mechanical injury, are the primary causes of long-term infertility and poor pregna…
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the ultrasonographic imaging features of accessory cavitated uterine malformations (ACUM) and discuss the practical value of ultrasonography in diagnosing this disease. METHODS: A retrospective analysis was conducted …
INTRODUCTION: Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to combine …
BACKGROUND: High rates of infertility and pregnancy complications in patients with intrauterine adhesion (IUA) even after surgical repair may be associated with poor endometrial receptivity (ER). In our previous study, we found that changes…
BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis, typically associated with heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain, is rarely linked to neurological complications. This case presents a rare instance of ischemic stroke in a young patient with adenomyosis and vascu…
To investigate the clinical application value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) technology in evaluating blood flow perfusion changes in adenomyosis patients treated with high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) combined with leuprorel…
PURPOSE: This study aimed to conduct an observational analysis of the association between hysterectomy status and the risk of developing hypertension, and to determine the causality of that relationship through a Mendelian randomization (MR…
The objective of this study was retrospectively to analyze the clinical characteristics and 18F-FDG PET/CT findings in Meigs syndrome (MS) patients. A total of 21 patients with MS induced by ovarian stromal tumors and 69 patients with pseud…
Bacterial biofilms, often forming on medical devices, can lead to treatment failure due to their increased antimicrobial resistance. Cefepime-avibactam (CFP-AVI) exhibits potent activities against Pseudomonas aeruginosa (P. aeruginosa) and …

BACKGROUND: Acupuncture and related therapies are effective and safe ways to relieve the pain, and improve the health and quality of life in women with endometriosis-related pain. However, it is still unclear which treatment is the most eff…
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. …
BACKGROUND: Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is clinically characterized by a decrease in the number of available ovarian follicles and a decline in the quality of oocytes, accompanied by hormonal changes. Low quality of DOR oocyte leads to…
INTRODUCTION: Ultrasound has become a routine method for endometrial receptivity (ER) evaluation. However, there is controversy over the independent evaluation values of various ultrasound indicators. Some researchers have designed multi-in…
PURPOSE: To investigate the impact of antibiotic treatment for chronic endometritis (CE) on the pregnancy outcome of frozen-thawed embryo transfer (FET) cycles and the relevant clinical risk factors associated with CE. METHODS: A retrospec…
INTRODUCTION: Perioperative urinary tract infections (PUTIs) are common in the United States and are a significant contributor to high healthcare costs. There is a lack of large studies on the risk factors for PUTIs after total hysterectomy…
BACKGROUND: The correlation between oxidative stress and female infertility pathogenesis was established, and the oxidative balance score (OBS) can serve as a measure of overall oxidative stress burden within an individual. Prior reports ha…
INTRODUCTION: Obesity has previously been correlated with an elevated risk of reproductive system diseases in women. The waist-hip ratio (WHR) has been shown to be correlated with visceral fat, making it one of the most commonly used indica…
BACKGROUND: Exposure to metal could impact women's depression risk. However, the connection and mechanisms between metalloestrogens exposure and depression are still not fully understood. We aim to explore the associations between metalloes…
To evaluate the repeatability of a novel automated technique called Smart ERA (Smart Endometrial Receptivity Analysis) for the automated segmentation and volume calculation of the endometrium in patients with normal uteri,, and to compare t…
RESEARCH QUESTION: Are there correlations between the biological expression of steroid receptors and the extent of fibrosis in adenomyotic lesions, and the treatment effectiveness of the levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS…
PURPOSE: Observational studies and clinical validation have suggested a link between thyroid dysfunction and an elevated ovarian cancer (OC) risk. However, whether this association indicates a cause-and-effect relationship remains uncertain…
