This systematic review and meta-analysis (CRD42024588171) compared the effectiveness of surgery followed by IVF/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) with direct IVF/ICSI (i.e. without previous surgery) on the reproductive outcomes of…

BACKGROUND: Poor ovarian response (POR) complicates a substantial proportion of in vitro fertilization (IVF) cycles, frequently causing cycle cancellation and suboptimal reproductive outcomes. Conventional follicular-phase ovarian stimulati…

OBJECTIVE: To systematically review and quantify the impact of adenomyosis on maternal, neonatal, and obstetric outcomes. DATA SOURCES: A comprehensive, unrestricted search was conducted in MEDLINE, Scopus, Embase, Literatura Latino-Americ…

PURPOSE: Despite various stimulation protocols and adjuvant treatments, optimizing the reproductive success of women with poor ovarian response (POR) undergoing assisted reproduction techniques (ART) remains a challenge. The aim was to eval…

BACKGROUND: To date, there are no clear guidelines available on the treatment of adenomyosis-associated pelvic pain (AAPP); however, numerous hormonal treatments (HTs) are currently being used off-label. We conducted a systematic review and…

BACKGROUND: Embryo implantation and early survival in a synchronized, receptive endometrium are critical for establishing a successful pregnancy, but uterine pathologies can present challenges to reproductive success by significantly impact…

In women with proven infertility and deep endometriosis (DE), optimal management is controversial. To date, there is no clear evidence on the association between infertility and different stages of rASRM, nor is there clear guidance from le…

Women with endometriosis were deemed more prone to COVID-19 infection in some reports. Considering that endometriosis-related aberrant immune response, understanding how COVID-19 vaccination influences its clinical status is crucial. The ai…

OBJECTIVES: The COVID-19 pandemic had adverse health outcomes on individuals and communities. In this cross-sectional study we evaluated the admission rates in a tertiary-level hospital during the first wave of the pandemic (March 22, 2020 …

BACKGROUND: Resveratrol is a natural polyphenolic compound present in plants and red wine with many potential health benefits. This compound has various anti-inflammatory and anti-tumor properties and can improve cellular mitochondrial acti…

BACKGROUND: The usefulness of endometrium strain elastosonography (SE) for the evaluation of endometrial receptivity in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) remains controversial. The objective of this prospective, observational st…

BACKGROUND: An early detection tool for EOC was constructed from analysis of biomarker expression data from serum collected during the UKCTOCS. METHODS: This study included 49 EOC cases (19 Type I and 30 Type II) and 31 controls, represent…

BackgroundThere is an urgent need for biomarkers for the early detection of ovarian cancer (OC). The purpose of this study was to assess whether changes in serum levels of lecithin-cholesterol acyltransferase (LCAT), sex hormone-binding glo…

PURPOSE: Ovarian cancer (OC) is the most lethal gynaecological cancer. Early detection is required to improve patient survival. Risk estimation models were constructed for Type I (Model I) and Type II (Model II) OC from analysis of Protein …

Ovarian cancer (OC) has the highest mortality of all gynaecological cancers. Early diagnosis offers an approach to achieving better outcomes. We conducted a blinded-evaluation of prospectively collected preclinical serum from participants i…
