Current research suggests a link between chronic pancreatitis (CP) and cardiovascular disease (CVD), although the causality remains unclear. The aim of this study was therefore to conduct a 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis to …

This study aimed to investigate the impacts of granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on the pregnancy outcomes of infertile individuals with endometriosis after in vitro fertilization and embryo transf…

The increasing association of insulin resistance (IR) with severe mental illnesses has a lot of importance to mental health and metabolism. Researching the association between IR indices and anxiety is quite fragmented. This study included …

RATIONALE: The accurate classification of retroperitoneal neoplasms remains challenging, particularly when distinguishing between epithelioid leiomyoma and perivascular epitheloid cell tumor (PEComa) due to significant histological and immu…

This study aims to assess associations of dyslipidemia with in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes in women undergoing their first ovarian stimulation and whether age, body mass index, or lipid levels modify these …

RATIONALE: Adenomyosis and simple endometrial hyperplasia are common benign gynecological conditions. However, atypical presentations with extreme endometrial thickening and associated diagnostic challenges have rarely been reported. PATIE…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a common gynecological disorder associated with impaired fertility and reduced quality of life. This study investigated abnormal spindle-like microcephaly-associated protein (ASPM), identified as a hub gen…

Excess body fat and its distribution are known to influence female reproductive function; however, the relationship between emerging body fat-related indices and infertility remains insufficiently explored. This study aimed to investigate t…

Maternal depression and anxiety are common perinatal conditions; however, large-scale, nationally representative evidence on their association with a comprehensive range of obstetric and neonatal outcomes remains limited. The study utilized…

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), a prevalent gynecological ailment compromising women's health, demonstrates established risk mitigation from dietary trace minerals. However, iron's role in PID pathogenesis remains unestablished. The Nati…

The glycolipid metabolism 7 factors (GLM7) index is a novel composite glycolipid index that includes age, triglycerides, fasting blood glucose, body mass index, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and …

Some observational studies have suggested an association between pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and ovarian cancer (OC), but the causality between PID and OC remains unclear. To investigate the causal association between PID and 7 OCs, w…

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of global mortality and has been linked to systemic inflammation and insulin resistance. The C-reactive protein-triglyceride-glucose index (CTI), a composite biomarker integrat…

Research on the association between urinary heavy metals, phthalates, phytoestrogens (PEs), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and endometriosis (EM) is limited. Data were from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 1999…

Identification of appropriate biomarkers is of great clinical significance for early diagnosis of endometriosis (EMs). This study aimed to comprehensively analyze the association between EMs and blood and urine biomarkers (BUB). Candidate E…

Homocysteine (Hcy) is involved in reproductive metabolism, but the associations of Hcy levels in different reproductive microenvironments with embryo development and pregnancy outcomes remain unclear. This study investigated these associati…

The C-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index (CTI) is a novel marker that integrates systemic inflammation and insulin resistance, both of which are associated with renal injury. However, population-based data on its associations with …

It has been proved that lipids have an effect on endometriosis, and the plasma atherosclerosis index (AIP), as a new lipid index, has not been proved to be correlative to endometriosis. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey f…

It has been proved that lipids have an effect on endometriosis, and the plasma atherosclerosis index (AIP), as a new lipid index, has not been proved to be correlative to endometriosis. The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey f…

Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic inflammatory disease defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Ovarian EMS is considered the most prevalent disease phenotype. However, the causal relationship between gr…

To explore the genetic associations between 91 types of blood cells (BCs) and endometriosis (EMs), providing references for the treatment of EMs. Forward Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis was conducted with BC-related single nucleotide …

The potential bidirectional causal relationship between endometriosis and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D has been previously investigated. Nevertheless, the results could be impacted by confounding factors and reverse causality because of the na…

This study aimed to improve the diagnosis and treatment of intramural pregnancy (IMP). A retrospective analysis was conducted of 8 cases of IMP admitted between November 2016 and June 2024. Data on patients' clinical characteristics, diagno…

This study aimed to compare the clinical histories and clinicopathological characteristics between internal and external adenomyosis (ADM) among infertile women. A total of 759 infertile patients aged 24 to 40 years were enrolled from the S…

Primary dysmenorrhea (PDM) is highly prevalent among reproductive-aged women and is commonly managed with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), although medication-related adverse events and incomplete symptom control remain clinic…
