Intrapancreatic accessory spleen (IPAS) is a rare condition resulting from the failure of embryological splenic buds to fuse. Found in approximately 1.1% to 3.4% of the population, IPAS can present significant diagnostic challenges, often m…
PURPOSE: Endometrial histology on hematoxylin and eosin (H&E)-stained preparations provides information associated with receptivity. However, traditional histological examination by Noyes' dating method is of limited value as it is prone to…
OBJECTIF: Décrire les pratiques actuelles fondées sur des données probantes pour le diagnostic et la prise en charge de l'adénomyose. POPULATION CIBLE: Toutes les patientes en âge de procréer qui ont un utérus. OPTIONS: Les options diagno…
OBJECTIVE: To describe the current evidence-based diagnosis and management of adenomyosis. TARGET POPULATION: All patients with a uterus of reproductive age. OPTIONS: Diagnostic options include transvaginal sonography and magnetic resonan…
BACKGROUND: Social media platforms such as YouTube are integral tools for disseminating information about health and wellness to the public. However, anecdotal reports have cited that the human gut microbiome has been a particular focus of …
OBJECTIVE: To use the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) criteria to evaluate the impact of adenomyosis on the live birth rate after donor egg embryo transfer. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. SETTING: Tertiary fertilit…
Adenomyosis is a benign gynecological disorder characterized by aberrant development of endometrial glands and stroma within the myometrium, causing inflammation and neuroangiogenesis.[1][1],[2][2] Adenomyosis often coexists with other gyne…
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to determine the impact of assisted hatching (AH) on pregnancy outcomes in vitrified-warmed blastocyst transfers, and evaluate if embryo expansion or morphology influences outcomes. METHODS: A retrospective cohor…
Study Objective To compare the outcomes between hysteroscopic morcellation of endometrial polyps and traditional techniques such as hysteroscopic resection with monopolar or bipolar radiofrequency energy, scissors and graspers or mechanical…
OBJECTIVE: We explored a method for the quantitative sonographic analysis of myometrial texture using computer-aided image analysis software to assess outcomes following treatment with gonadotrophin-releasing hormone (GnRH) agonist for aden…

Aberrant miRNA expression has been reported in endometriosis and miRNA gene polymorphisms have been linked to cancer. Because certain ovarian cancers arise from endometriosis, we genotyped seven cancer-related miRNA single nucleotide polymo…
BACKGROUND: Bone morphogenetic protein receptor I B (BMPR1B) is a transmembrane receptor mediating TGF-β signal transduction. Recent studies indicate a tumor suppressor role for BMPR1B in ovarian cancer. Polymorphism at BMPR1B 3'UTR within …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether the newly described G1502 to A1502 mutation in exon 3 of the LH beta-subunit gene, causing the amino acid substitution of Ser102 for Gly102, is related to female infertility. DESIGN: Screening of fertile a…
