Malathion exposure may increase infertility risk among US Adults: Results from the 2015 –2016 NHANES
Organophosphate pesticides such as malathion are the most widely used pesticides. Despite endocrine-disrupting effects, there is a paucity of information regarding chronic exposure to non-persistent organopesticides such as malathion. The purpose of this study is to describe the exposure burden among U.S. residents as well as possible impacts on fertility.

Efficacy and safety of dienogest in the treatment of deep infiltrating endometriosis: A meta-analysis
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) refers to endometriosis (EMs) with an infiltration depth greater than or equal to 5  mm. It is an invasive disease that involves the uterosacral ligament, the excavatio rectouterina, vaginal vault, vaginal-rectal septum, rectum, colon wall, bladder wall, and the ureter. DIE can cause evident chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dysuria, non-menstrual pelvic pain, local bleeding, and the obstruction of vital organs. EMs affects about 10 % of women of childbearing age. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)

Physical activity among pregnant inpatients and outpatients and associations with anxiety
Anxiety and depression are prevalent among hospitalized pregnant people [1]. Despite this, little is known regarding ways to improve their mental health. Given the rising public health threat posed by mental illness [2], identification of feasible, realistic interventions to improve mental health is critically warranted.

Relationship between serum apelin, visfatin levels, and body composition in Polycystic ovary syndrome patients
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is an endocrine disorder that affects the female reproductive system. It is characterized by irregular ovulation, high levels of androgens, and multiple cysts on the ovaries. PCOS is a common condition among women of reproductive age [1]. Epidemiological findings indicate that the incidence of PCOS ranges from 3.7  % to 22.5 % [2]. The prevalence of PCOS in Chinese women is 7.8 %, affecting the reproductive health of approximately 24 million women [3]. In addition, PCOS is a systemic metabolic disorder that is often associated with obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic disorders, and...

Construction and efficacy test of a survival prediction model for locally advanced cervical cancer based on anti-angiogenesis
Cervical cancer (CC) is a major global threat to women ’s health, with about 500,000 new cases and 200,000 deaths each year [1]. Patients with metastatic or recurrent CC have a poor prognosis, and only 10 % of those with locally advanced CC survive for five years [2]. Hence, a reliable survival prediction model is needed to estimate the prognosis of advanced patients before treatment and offer personalized care to low responders to improve their survival.

Plasma and peritoneal fluid cytokine profiles in patient with Essure ® implant: Towards a molecular signature?
The Essure ® contraceptive device (Bayer©, Leverkusen, Germany) was the first permanent tubal occlusion hysteroscopic implant approved by the FDA in 2002 and definitively stopped in 2018 after 750,000 procedures worldwide [1]. Many patients described adverse events, including pelvic pain, as well as general clinical symptoms such as fatigue, hair loss, psychological disorders, loss of libido, pain in joints, weight changes, and lack of concentration [2–5]. The pathogenesis is not yet understood. Several hypotheses have been proposed, such as the Systemic Nickel Allergic Syndrome (SNAS) [6,7], the Aut oimmune/Autoinflam...

Interactive effects and relative contribution of prepregnancy overweight and obesity, excessive gestational weight gain and gestational diabetes mellitus to macrosomia: A retrospective cohort in Fujian, China
Macrosomia has attracted constant attention because of the increased risk of adverse outcomes for both mothers and infants. For mothers, newborn macrosomia is associated with protracted labour, caesarean delivery, postpartum haemorrhage and perineal trauma; for infants, macrosomia is associated with increased risk of shoulder dystocia, birth trauma, and the development of obesity and diabetes in adulthood [1 –5]. Macrosomia is one of the most common adverse outcomes of newborns, accounting for 0.9–12 % of live births in China [5–8].

Perioperative intravenous infusion of dexmedetomidine for alleviating postpartum depression after cesarean section: A meta-analysis and systematic review
Postpartum depression (PPD) is the most common psychiatric disorder in women after delivery, with a prevalence of approximately 10  %-20 % [1]. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) classifies PPD as a subtype of major depressive disorder (MDD) with perinatal episodes, which refers to the period of pregnancy and the four weeks after delivery [2]. Postpartum depression is a serious worldwide public health issue, which not only threatens the physical and mental health of mothers but also affects the growth and development of infants [3,4].

Comparison of the efficacy for early warning systems in predicting obstetric critical illness
Severe maternal morbidity and mortality are often preventable [1]. As is known, pregnancy is associated with many physiological changes involving cardiovascular, respiratory, renal and hematological system, and most of these changes can be reflected by the parameters of vital signs [2 –4]. Obstetric early warning systems are predictive models for early identification of women at risk, which rely on a phase of partial decompensation in physiology as a window of opportunity to intervene and prevent deterioration [5–8].

Ultrasound features of a bilineal inheritance of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
We report a case of a nulliparous woman referred to our clinic at 29  weeks of gestation because of the finding of fetal increased hyperechoic kidneys. The partner was affected by ADPKD with a familiar history of the same disease (his grandfather, brother and father, who underwent kidney transplantation at 40 years of age). The first-trimester aneuploidies combin ed screening showed a high risk for trisomy 21 while the chorionic villus sampling detected a normal female karyotype.

Regular follow-up with cervical cytology is of questionable value following surgical treatment of microinvasive cervical cancer
Cervical cancer is the fourteenth most common cancer in women [1]. It most commonly occurs early in a woman ’s reproductive life peaking between the ages of 25–30 years [1]. As such a conservative/fertility sparing approach is often highly valued in such women [2,3]. Whilst there is international consensus on the management of stage 1A cervical cancer, there is no such consensus with regards to dura tion or modality of follow–up. As such there are variations in follow-up protocols between clinicians, hospitals and countries [4,5]. (Source: European Journal of Obstetrics, Gynecology, and Reproductive Biology)
