OBJECTIVES: To identify an optimal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based classification for the severity of adenomyosis and explore the factors associated with disease severity (dysmenorrhea or menorrhagia). DESIGN AND PARTICIPANTS: Several classifications based on MRI have been proposed, and their phenotypes are reported to be associated with the severity of adenomyosis. However, a consensus classification based on MRI findings has not yet been reached. Our study was designed to retrospectively analyze data from a cohort of patients in the Affiliated Nanchong Central Hospital of North Sichuan Medical College from June 2017 to December 2021 before focused ultrasound ablation surgery (FUAS), to identify the optimal classification of adenomyosis severity from different classification criteria and explore factors associated with the presence of symptoms...

INTRODUCTION: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder among young women, correlated with hyperandrogenism. Among the symptoms of PCOS, vocal alterations are quite unknown. Dysphonia may be related to hyperandrogenism, and there is no consensus about its prevalence and the severity of vocal disorders, which can cause noticeable discomfort. METHODS: A systematic review of the literature was conducted. Four studies on PCOS that evaluated the phonatory system were included, for a total of 174 patients (96 PCOS, 78 controls) and a meta-analysis on comparable data was performed...

BACKGROUND: Gestational trophoblastic disease, comprising hydatidiform moles and gestational trophoblastic tumours, is extremely rare. Exact diagnosis is crucial to indicate the appropriate treatment and to prevent complications. The scarcity and variability in the number of cases available for reporting, lack of specialized training in GTD and non-existence of refresher courses available implies that the pathologist dealing with these rare and at times extremely challenging cases are not completely confident in their diagnosis...

BACKGROUND: The role of hormonal replacement therapy in menopause is under debate. The premature closure of the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study in 2002 is still a source of concern among treating physicians. OBJECTIVES: The interest in alternatives to conventional hormone therapy has significantly increased. The adoption of personalized steroid hormone galenic preparations, formulated by compounding pharmacies, has recently spread. METHODS: In June 2023, an extensive literature search was conducted by different authors to identify relevant studies in various databases (MEDLINE, Embase, Pubmed, and Cochrane)...

INTRODUCTION: Minimally invasive procedures performed in laparoscopy, such as salpingectomy for ectopic pregnancy, can be combined with a minimally invasive anesthesia. The aim of this study was to assess the feasibility and the intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of laparoscopic surgery for ectopic pregnancy under spinal anesthesia (SA) compared to general anesthesia (GA) from the point of view of the surgeon, anesthesiologist and patient. METHODS: A retrospective cohort study was performed at DAI Materno Infantile of AOU Federico II of Naples, analyzing all medical records of women who met the inclusion criteria between April 2020 and April 2023...

OBJECTIVE: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a frequently occurring complication during pregnancy and has adverse effects on both mother and off-spring. β-cell dysfunction and inflammation play important roles in GDM pathogenesis. Cornuside is an iridoid glycoside that exhibits anti-inflammation activities. In the present study, we explored the effects of Cornuside on β-cell and GDM. Design section: MIN6 β-cell line cells were treated with varying concentrations of Cornuside...

OBJECTIVES: Luteinizing hormone plays a key role in normal follicular development and oocyte maturation in controlled ovarian stimulation. Luteinizing hormone stimulates the proliferation and differentiation of theca cells for the secretion of androgens, synergistically increasing estrogen production. This study aimed to investigate the effects of low luteinizing hormone concentrations on oocyte retrieval, fertilization and embryo development in patients undergoing in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection...

INTRODUCTION: Usefulness of hysteroscopy before assisted reproductive technique (ART) was considered debatable. However, over the last decade, several new trials were added to available literature. We aimed to assess the impact of diagnostic and operative hysteroscopy on reproductive outcomes of infertile women with and without intrauterine abnormalities. MATERIALS AND METHODS: MEDLINE, Scopus, Scielo, EMBASE, Cochrane Library at CENTRAL, PROSPERO, CINAHL, grey literature, conference proceedings, and international controlled trials registries were searched without temporal, geographical, or language restrictions...

Today most women with gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) can expect to be cured particularly if they live in middle to high income countries with access to GTD centres. In contrast, countries lacking organized GTD care achieve lower survival rates. This review considers some of the successes and areas for improvement in GTD care that have been achieved through national and international collaborations.

Background Gestational Trophoblastic Disease (GTD) is a rare pregnancy related condition consisting of premalignant and malignant forms arising from proliferation of trophoblastic cells. The malignant forms are collectively referred to as Gestational Trophoblastic Neoplasia (GTN) and are highly sensitive to chemotherapy. However, surgical procedures remain indispensable in the diagnosis and treatment of GTD. Objectives The aim of this review is to summarize surgical interventions in the treatment of GTD and GTN...

INTRODUCTION: Intra-abdominal adhesions are abnormal fibrous attachments between tissues and organs that can be congenital or acquired. Adhesion formation is a critical postoperative complication that may lead to bowel obstruction, chronic abdominal pain and infertility. Physical barrier agents separate opposing peritoneal surfaces in the critical 5-day period of remesotheliazation. These agents are subdivided into solid or liquid/gel. Liquid agents seem easier to use in laparoscopic procedures than solid agents...

OBJECTIVES: When a labor process is complicated by non-reassuring fetal status (NRFS), obstetricians focus on delivery to optimize neonatal status. We explored maternal morbidity in the setting of NRFS. Our hypothesis is that delivery of a live newborn with NRFS is associated with significant maternal morbidity. Design, participants, setting and methods: A large retrospective cohort study of 27,886 women who delivered between 1/2013-12/2016 at a single health system was studied. Inclusion criteria included: 1) women over the age of 18 at the time of admission; 2) singleton pregnancy; 3) live birth; and 4) gestational age greater than or equal to 37 weeks at time of admission...
