Background: Endometriosis is a clinical condition associated with genetic, endocrine, and immunological factors, present in 6 to 10% of women of reproductive age. Currently, the human microbiota has been studied and associated with the evolution of diseases due to its influence on pathogenesis, indicating that changes in the colonization of microorganisms in the genitourinary and gastrointestinal systems can promote physiological changes that can trigger inflammatory and immunological processes and hormonal dysregulation, which can be linked to endometriosis. Thus, this systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated microbiota changes in women with endometriosis.

Methods And Results: This is a systematic review and meta-analysis of the literature, in which the terms "pre-eclampsia", "gastrointestinal microbiome" and "pregnant women" were used to search MEDLINE (PubMed), BVS (LILACS and others), Embase (Elsevier) and Cochrane Library, including observational studies and case-control that investigated changes in the gut microbiota during pregnancy. Six studies were included, with 479 pregnant women.
Introduction: Active SARS-CoV-2 infection is confirmed mainly through the detection of viral nucleic acid via the reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technique. Methods to assess humoral responses contribute to the monitoring of the disease and confirmation of exposure to the virus.
Objective: To evaluate the accuracy of tests for IgM and IgG antibodies for SARS-CoV-2 infection confirmed by RT-PCR and utility as complementary data for immunosurveillance.
The scope of this article was to investigate whether intercessory prayer (IP) influences the adverse outcomes of pregnancies. A double-blind, randomized clinical trial was conducted with 564 pregnant women attending a prenatal public health care service. The women were randomly assigned to an IP group or to a control group (n = 289 per group).

Materials And Methods: A comprehensive search of the Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, CANCERLIT, LILACS, and EMBASE databases was performed for papers published from January 1990 to January 2011. The medical subject heading terms were searched for the following: breast neoplasm, breast lesions, breast cancer, and HPV or human papillomavirus.
Background. Müllerian duct malformations delineate a miscellaneous group of congenital anomalies that result from arrested development, abnormal formation, or incomplete fusion of the mesonephric ducts. Case.

Design And Methods: A nested case-control study within a longitudinal cohort study. Cervical specimens and blood samples were collected at enrolment from asymptomatic women who looked for a service of public health in a district of Porto Alegre, Brazil.
Article Synopsis
- Dynamic contrast-enhanced breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an emerging technique showing promise in assessing breast lesions, particularly for diagnosing high-risk lesions and breast cancer.
- A systematic review of 69 studies involving nearly 9,300 women revealed that breast MRI has a sensitivity of 90% and specificity of 75% when compared with traditional diagnostic techniques.
- Overall, breast MRI demonstrates moderate agreement with paraffin section diagnosis, making it a valuable pre-operative tool for predicting breast lesion diagnoses.
Human papillomavirus (HPV) has been established as an important etiological factor for the development of cervical cancer. This DNA virus primarily infects the epithelium and can induce benign and malignant lesions of the mucous membranes and skin. Some HPVs are considered high risk due to their role in malignant progression of cervical tumors.
