Background: Sinonasal inverted papilloma (SNIP) is characterized by a high recurrence rate and potential for malignant transformation. Although metabolic reprogramming plays a role in benign neoplasms, the specific metabolic pathways and bi…
We aimed to evaluate the successful long-term use of dienogest for the management of pelvic pain and bleeding control in perimenopausal women with symptomatic adenomyosis using real-world data. All women aged ≥ 40 years with adenomyosis who…
OBJECTIVE: This case report aims to present a rare occurrence of fallopian tube prolapse into the vaginal vault following hysterectomy, underscoring the importance of recognizing this uncommon complication. CASE REPORT: A 45-year-old woman…
Several neurodevelopmental disorders have been linked to early life immune activation and inflammation, including developmental delay, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities, and other neurodevelopmental and psychiatric disorders. Certai…
PROPOSE: The purpose of this study was to assess whether the implementation of a "dual trigger" approach, utilizing gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the GnRH antagonist protocol for in…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to assess the predictive value of endometrial blood flow branches on pregnancy outcomes after hormone replacement therapy-frozen embryo transfer (HRT-FET). METHODS: This prospective observational study involved…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The impairment of the ovarian response in in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles after salpingectomy remains contentious. Therefore, we investigated whether a history of salpingectomy affects the number of oocytes retrieved in…
Fallopian tube is essential to fertilization and embryonic development. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) from Fallopian tube containing biological regulatory factors, such as lipids, proteins and microRNAs (miRNAs) serve as the key role. At pre…
Antiangiogenic therapy, such as bevacizumab (BEV), has improved progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in high-risk patients with epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) according to several clinical trials. Clinically, no reliab…
PURPOSE: The etiology of endometriosis is mostly under-explored, but abnormalities in the immune system leading to an autoimmune reaction have been suggested. The systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is one of the most common autoimmune disea…
Myometrial invasion affects the prognosis of endometrial cancer. However, discrepancies exist between pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging staging and post-operative pathological staging. This study aims to validate the accuracy of arti…
AIMS: To investigate the association between polymorphism in the gene encoding the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and susceptibility to endometriosis among women in southwest China. METHODS: A case-control study involving 201 endo…
Spontaneous perforated Meckel's diverticulum is a rare complication and mimics appendicitis or diverticulitis in elderly adults. We report the case of a 51-year-old man who presented to the emergency department with abdominal pain that had …

BACKGROUND: Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) occurs in women during their reproductive age with a quite negative impact on their daily lives. Women with PMS experience a wide range of physical or psychological symptoms and seek treatment for the…
PURPOSE: Embryo cryopreservation after triggering oocyte maturation with GnRH agonist (GnRHa) in GnRH antagonist protocols has been proposed to prevent ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). However, a small percentage of patients still …
Perivascular epithelioid cell (PEC) tumors (PEComas) are a family of related mesenchymal tumors composed of PECs which co-express melanocytic and smooth muscle markers. Although their distinctive histologic, immunohistochemical, ultrastruct…
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to assess endometriomas and follicular cysts using a new quantitative method provided by the picture archiving and communication system. MATERIALS AND METHODS: We reviewed our computer ultrasound da…
Interleukin-16 (IL-16), a proinflammatory cytokine, plays a pivotal role in inflammatory diseases as well as in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of IL-16 gene polymorphisms with the ri…
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the accuracy of different transvaginal sonographic criteria in the diagnosis of adenomyosis, and to determine the most useful sonographic feature by comparison with histopathologic results. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A t…
Appendiceal intussusception is a rare entity that is difficult to diagnosis before surgery both clinically and radiologically. We report here a case of a 55-year-old woman with a 6-month history of right lower abdominal pain caused by appen…
Endometriosis is often seen in gynecology practice and is treated medically. However, intestinal involvement of endometriosis causing obstruction is relatively uncommon and is hard to differentiate from malignancy before surgery. Herein, we…
PURPOSE: This study was performed to evaluate whether a lower dose (0.2 mg) of cetrorelix would prevent premature LH surge in patients undergoing controlled ovarian hyperstimulation. METHODS: Controlled ovarian hyperstimulation was carried…
