The gut microbiota plays a crucial function in reproductive well-being and is vital for maintaining fundamental physiological balance. This article surveys the mutual relationships between the gut flora and the …
White adipose tissue is now recognized as an active endocrine organ that secretes numerous bioactive molecules known as adipokines. These proteins regulate essential physiological processes, including energy metabolism, inflammation, and …
Lactate is increasingly recognized not only as a metabolic end product of glycolysis but also as a signaling metabolite that links metabolic reprogramming to epigenetic and transcriptional regulation through protein …
Ceramide, a central hub in sphingolipid metabolism, serves as a critical bioactive signalling mediator that integrates lipid metabolism with multiple signalling pathways, primarily promoting autophagy and apoptosis. It influences female …
Background and objectives Diagnosis and treatment of infertility, mostly sought at tertiary facilities, contribute to substantial out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE). This study estimated OOPE among couples seeking care for endometriosis, male …
Ovarian endometrioma cystectomy may compromise ovarian reserve through inadvertent excision of ovarian cortex. We compared inadvertent cortical removal between robotic-assisted and conventional laparoscopic cystectomy using digital pathology. We retrospectively analyzed …
Ovarian carcinosarcoma typically comprises high-grade carcinoma and sarcoma components. We report a case of a woman in her 40s with endometriosis-associated ovarian carcinosarcoma exhibiting an unusual presentation of well-differentiated adenocarcinoma …
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of mortality among postmenopausal women in the European region. While women share traditional cardiovascular risk factors with men, the prevalence and impact on the …
Seromucinous borderline ovarian tumors represent a distinct borderline ovarian tumor histotype, yet their specific sonographic features and clinical associations remain undercharacterized. The objective of this study was to describe the …
Mycotoxins are widespread food contaminants, and urinary biomarkers reflect recent dietary exposure. Although mycotoxins have been implicated in reproductive toxicity, their impact on human oocyte and embryo development remains poorly …
