BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by tumor-like growth behavior and limited therapeutic options. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota may contribute to EMs progression by promoting c…

STUDY QUESTION: Is there an association between changes in endometrial thickness (EMT) following progesterone administration and pregnancy outcomes in frozen-thawed embryo transfers (FETs) at Day 3 (D3) and blastocyst stages? SUMMARY ANSWE…

Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) represents a rare and aggressive subtype of epithelial ovarian cancer with distinctive clinical and molecular characteristics. However, the identification, origin, and molecular features of the malignant …

Antibiotic use is known to contribute to the development of osteoporosis, although the exact mechanisms remain poorly understood. Metronidazole (MET), a commonly prescribed antibiotic for treating anaerobic infections, has been linked to al…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Does surgical management of ovarian endometriomas improve in vitro fertilization (IVF)/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)? DESIGN: This retrospective study analyzed 1,456 IVF/ICSI cycles from June 2017 to September …

Endometriosis involves ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, yet the spatial transcriptomic and metabolic landscape of ovarian endometriomas remains poorly understood. This investigation presents a comprehensive multi-omics analysis of…

Mesenchymal cells constitute the primary structural support elements within endometriotic lesions, yet their pivotal roles in endometriotic pathogenesis remain largely uncharted. This study aimed to construct a single-cell atlas of endometr…

BACKGROUND: Evidence indicates that the risk of developing a secondary ovarian cancer (OC) is correlated with estrogen receptor (ER) status. However, the clinical significance of the relationship between ER-associated breast cancer (BC) and…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic disease characterized by endometrial-like tissue present outside of the uterus. Macrophages have been confirmed to participate in the development of EMs. Integrin β3 (ITGB3), a β-subunit of the i…

BACKGROUND: Our study aimed to investigate if serum prolactin (PRL) levels associated with insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction in infertile patients with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). METHODS: This was a retrospective cross-se…

BACKGROUND: In polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), ovarian physiology is tightly linked to the metabolic disturbances observed in this disease. Vitamin D (VD) plays an important role in the regulation of ovulatory dysfunction and can influenc…

Hyperlipemia is a well-established etiology of acute pancreatitis. However, few data are available in the medical literature about the management of triglyceride levels in the outpatient setting in patients with hypertriglyceridemic acute p…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) intrauterine injection before frozen–thawed embryo transfer (FET) in women with endometriosis. METHODS: This retrospective cohort study included 45 women with endom…

The aim of the present study was to identify predictive factors for cervical cancer (CC) progression using a multistage approach. The present study obtained data from 390 healthy women and 259 patients with cervical cancer between June 2012…

Ovarian reserve reflects both the quantity and quality of oocytes available for procreation, and is affected by many known and unknown factors. ABO blood type is related to a number of infertility processes, but it is unclear whether and ho…
