Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare form of spontaneous pneumothorax associated with thoracic endometriosis and is exceptionally uncommon in adolescents. We report a 14-year-old girl with early menarche and heavy …
The LYSET gene encodes the LYSET transmembrane protein, which regulates lysosome biogenesis by activating the mannose-6-phosphate (M6P) pathway. This is an autosomal recessive, ultrarare, and severe progressive skeletal dysplasia with …
Endometriosis and major depressive disorder (MDD) pose significant global health burdens. Despite pathophysiological overlaps, existing epidemiological studies predominantly examine their unidirectional associations, often constrained by cross-sectional designs and small sample …
Both genetic and environmental factors affect human stature, including overall height and familial short stature (FSS), and it is associated with various health outcomes. However, the study of genetic connections …
Bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO) and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) exert opposing effects on systemic sex hormone exposure. Although HRT is frequently prescribed following BSO to mitigate surgical menopause, their combined impact …
