BACKGROUND: Patients undergoing assisted reproductive technology (ART) frequently manifest sleep disturbances and psychological morbidity. This study examined associations between cerebral activation patterns, sleep quality, and psychologic…

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread degenerative joint disorder manifesting as chronic pain, functional impairment, and progressive disability, imposing a substantial burden on global public health. Despite extensive research, the precise m…

This study aimed to explore the association between leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and premature rupture of membranes (PROM). This cross-sectional study included a total of 170,841 participants from the UK Biobank. Restricted cubic spline …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by immune microenvironment dysregulation, with the IL-33/ST2L signaling axis playing a crucial role in macrophage polarization and disease progression. Despite growin…

All types of ginger have common fundamental components, although they possess distinct strengths and inclinations when it comes to effectiveness and medicinal applications. Fresh ginger possesses the ability to effectively stimulate movemen…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate HIF2α polymorphisms and glucose metabolism in a group of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) or unexplained infertility (UI). PATIENTS: The infertile group (n=148) consisted of 96 women with PCOS, 52 women wi…

Numerous studies have suggested the possibility of explaining the etiology of metabolic syndrome through DNA methylation. DNA methyltransferase 3B (DNMT3B) plays an important role in de novo DNA methylation. There was an alteration in mater…

PURPOSE: miR-500a-3p has been extensively reported to be implicated in the development and progression in several human cancer types. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic significance of miR-500a-3p as a biomarker i…

OBJECTIVE: This work was designed to investigate the performance of the International Ovarian Tumor Analysis (IOTA) ADNEX (Assessment of Different NEoplasias in the adneXa) model combined with human epithelial protein 4 (HE4) for early ovar…

BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study was to report our experience in treating multiple ureteral polyps with transabdominal laparoscopic ureteroureterostomy (LAP-UU) with intraoperative retrograde ureteroscopy (RU)-assisted technique. METH…

INTRODUCTION: Prior research into endometriosis-related pain has focused on specific aspects of the pain experience such as cyclical pain, emotional aspects of pain and certain types of pain such as dysmenorrhea and dyspareunia. However, re…

STUDY QUESTION: Does the expansion of genome-wide association studies (GWAS) to a broader range of ancestries improve the ability to identify and generalise variants associated with age at menarche (AAM) in European populations to a wider r…

A minimally invasive approach to partial hepatectomy with transvaginal specimen extraction is safe and feasible with the potential to improve the cosmetic outcome, minimize postoperative narcotic utilization, and shorten hospital length of …

BACKGROUND: miR-500a-3p has been demonstrated to be involved in the development, progression and metastasis in several human cancers. Constitutive activation of JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway has been reported to play an important role in the …

Common variants in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 homeobox B (HNF1B) gene are associated with the risk of Type II diabetes and multiple cancers. Evidence to date indicates that cancer risk may be mediated via genetic or epigenetic effects …

Liver cancer is one of the most lethal cancers, but our knowledge of the molecular mechanism underlying this process remains insufficient. Through deep sequencing and expression regulation analysis in liver cancer cells, we identified two n…

Endometriosis is a common disease in females of reproductive age and has the classic characteristic of mononuclear cell infiltration into lesions. Shikonin is an anti-inflammatory phytocompound obtained from Lithospermum erythrorhizon whose…

The objective of our study is to assess the association of endometriosis risk and genetic polymorphisms involving biosynthesis of sex steroids and their receptors. A systematic search of three databases was conducted. Twenty-seven studies o…

The advent of the Human Genome Project has allowed for increased understanding and sophistication in diagnosis, treatment methods, and overall care planning on the part of healthcare providers for children with genetic disorders. Genetics r…
