Gonadotropin upregulates intraovarian calpains-1 and -2 during ovarian follicular recruitment in the SD rat model
In conclusion, the expression levels of calpains -1 and -2 are increased with ovarian follicular recruitment by PMSG and calpain-1 is decreased in the PCOS condition, and letrozole and metformin upregulate the expression of calpains-1 and -2 during luteinization in the hGCs possibly via E2 action.PMID:38402721 | DOI:10.1016/j.repbio.2024.100862 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Disruption of spermatogenesis in testicular adult Wistar rats after short-term exposure to high dose of glyphosate based-herbicide: Histopathological and biochemical changes
Reprod Biol. 2024 Feb 24;24(2):100865. doi: 10.1016/j.repbio.2024.100865. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTGlyphosate is an endocrine disruptor and can act on the activity of certain enzymes of metabolism subsequently altering some functions such as reproduction. The goal of the present study is to evaluate the involvement of glyphosate based-herbicide (GBH) in spermatogenesis disruption and to investigate which cells of the adult Wistar rat testis are most affected by short-term exposure to GBH. Treated groups received a diluted solution of GBH orally for 21 days (D1: 102.5 mg/Kg; D2: 200 mg/Kg; D3: 400 mg/Kg). The control g...

Association of estrogen receptor and progesterone receptor genetic polymorphisms with recurrent pregnancy loss: A systematic review and meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Unlike estrogen receptors, variations in PGR rs590688 (C > G) may be linked to the increased risk of RPL. More studies are required to confirm this finding.PMID:38402782 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.01.008 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Mid-trimester sonographic placenta previa thickness and persistence at delivery
CONCLUSION: At diagnosis of mid-trimester previa, thick placenta is associated with persistence at time of delivery and delivery by cesarean section. This suggests placental thickness may assist with risk stratification and coordination of care.PMID:38401448 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.02.033 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Do PET-positive supradiaphragmatic lymph nodes predict overall survival or the success of primary surgery in patients with advanced ovarian cancer?
CONCLUSIONS: FDG PET/CT has a higher detection rate for SDLNs in patients with ovarian cancer than CT has, as described in the literature. Moreover, PET-positive SDLNs failed to predict intraoperative outcomes or overall survival.PMID:38394714 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.02.028 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Self-sampling for HPV testing in cervical cancer screening: A scoping review
This study aim was to map the medical-scientific literature on existing protocols for self-sampling for HPV testing in cervical cancer screening. A search strategy was developed using the following keywords and their synonyms: "self-sampling," "professional sampling," and "HPV", on the databases: MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Virtual Health Library - BVS, Scopus, National Institute for Health Research NHS EED, Web of Science, and EMBASE. The search strategy was formulated to identify relevant studies and describe their main characteristics, such as patient acceptance of self-sampling, cost differences between the tests used, ...

The effect of virtual reality and music on anxiety, non-stress test parameters, and satisfaction of high-risk pregnant women undergoing non-stress tests: Randomized controlled trial
CONCLUSION: Virtual reality and music during NSTs help high-risk pregnant women experience less anxiety and satisfy them more with the procedure. We recommend that obstetric midwives and nurses use these low-cost, simple, and noninvasive methods to reduce anxiety in high-risk pregnant women during prenatal testing.PMID:38394716 | DOI:10.1016/j.ejogrb.2024.02.038 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

Feasibility of neurosonography in CHD-fetuses and controls in a clinical tertiary setting
CONCLUSION: In clinical setting, basic fetal neurosonography can be sufficiently performed in the majority of cases. This was not significantly influenced by maternal or fetal factors. The optimal gestational age for neurosonography is between 22 and 34 weeks.PMID:38384382 | PMC:PMC10879662 | DOI:10.1016/j.eurox.2024.100289 (Source: Reproductive Biology)

The pathogenesis of endometriosis and adenomyosis: insights from single-cell RNA sequencing
Biol Reprod. 2024 Feb 22:ioae032. doi: 10.1093/biolre/ioae032. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTEndometriosis and adenomyosis are two similar gynecological diseases that are characterized by ectopic implantation and the growth of the endometrial tissue. Previous studies have reported that they share a common pathophysiology in some respects, such as a similar cellular composition and resistance to the progestogen of lesions, but their underlying mechanisms remain elusive. Emerging single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) technologies allow for the dissection of single-cell transcriptome mapping to reveal the etiology of disease...
