Ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) is a severe complication of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) during in vitro fertilization (IVF) treatment, characterized by increased capillary permeability. Vascular endothelial growth fac…

(Abstracted from Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol 2024:302:104–110 Endometrial thickening without vaginal bleeding is frequently considered an indication for referral for pathological evaluation, though gynecologists debate whether this is …

INTRODUCTION: Miscarriage is a major concern in early pregnancy among women having conceived with assisted reproductive treatments. This study aimed to examine potential miscarriage-related biophysical and biochemical markers at 6 weeks' ge…

The effect of the intramural fibroids not distorting the cavity remains controversial on implantation and pregnancy. The aim of this study was to examine the impact of non-cavity distorting intramural fibroids on endometrium. Fifty-six wome…

Endometriosis is a chronic disorder characterized by the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. It affects 8%-10% of women in their reproductive years, and represents a major clinical problem with deleterious …

Myostatin (MSTN) is member of the transforming growth factor β (TGF-β) superfamily and was originally identified in the musculoskeletal system as a negative regulator of skeletal muscle growth. The functional roles of MSTN outside of the mu…

RESEARCH QUESTION: Is there a difference in the ovarian reserve 1 year post-operatively in those who used a haemostatic sealant or bipolar diathermy for haemostasis during laparoscopic ovarian cystectomy for ovarian endometriomas? DESIGN: …

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a well-known angiogenic factor that plays a critical role in various physiological and pathological processes. VEGF also contributes to the process of embryo implantation by enhancing embryo deve…

Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a common gynaecological complaint with a similar consultation rate to low back pain, asthma, or migraine. It is estimated that up to 15–20% of women aged 18–50 years have experienced CPP for more than 1 year. Ne…

(Abstracted from Fertil Steril 2019;112:707–717) Chronic endometriosis (CE), a state of chronic inflammation in the endometrial lining, has been associated with reproductive failure and is diagnosed based on the presence of CD138+ plasma ce…

PURPOSE: To examine the expression of MUC16 in the endometrium peri-implantation period in three different cohort studies. METHODS: This was a retrospective observational cohort study. A total of 245 participants were recruited in three se…

BACKGROUND: This clinical trial aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of highly purified human menopausal gonadotropin (HP-HMG) plus recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone (rFSH) versus rFSH alone on controlled ovarian stimulation …

This study means to investigate a combination of noninvasive methods in diagnosis of minimal or mild endometriosis expecting to narrow down the range of laparoscopic exploration for female infertility.It is a retrospective case control stud…

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Endometrial angiogenesis is a prerequisite for successful pregnancy. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive physically optical imaging technique widely used in ophthalmology and cardiology. However, t…

This study aimed to evaluate a novel real-time rotational optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging system (OCTIS) with a fiber-optic probe to look at endometrium and to correlate the OCTIS images with standard histology. OCT could obtain …

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of haemostatic sealant compared with bipolar coagulation on ovarian reserve after laparoscopic cystectomy for ovarian endometriomas. DESIGN: Patient-blinded, randomised controlled trial. SETTING: Universi…

BACKGROUND: The reproductive impact of adenomyosis and endometriosis is widely researched but the extent of these impacts remains elusive. It has been demonstrated that endometriosis, in particular, is known to result in subfertility but en…

BACKGROUND: Human reproduction follows a seasonal pattern with respect to spontaneous conception, a phenomenon wherein the effect of meteorological fluctuations might not be unique. However, the effect of seasonal variations on patients who…

BACKGROUND: It is postulated that women suffered from recurrent implantation failure (RIF) have different endometrial receptivity compared to those who experienced with idiopathic recurrent miscarriage (RM). In this study, expression of com…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of estradiol on endometrial regeneration and stromal fibrosis after endometrial curettage. STUDY DESIGN: This is an experimental, prospective study. Combining ovariectomized rabbits and different doses of…
