Possible Role of 5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) Receptor on Human Sperm Motility Regulation.

The purpose of this study is to examine whether 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, also known as serotonin) regulates human sperm motility, focusing on 5-HT receptors. Immunofluorescent staining revealed the existence of seven types of 5-HT receptors with a heterogeneous pattern of reactive sites. In detail, 5-HT, 5-HT, and 5-HT were detected in the post-acrosomal and mid-piece regions.

Medroxyprogesterone as the Initial Systemic Treatment of Recurrent Endometrial Cancer: A Single Institutional Study.

Background/aim: Hormonal treatment is the preferred initial systemic therapy for patients with advanced or recurrent G1 or G2 endometrial cancer (EC) in terms of efficacy, toxicity, and economy. Few reports are available on the topic and we, therefore, conducted a retrospective study.

Patients And Methods: Patients with EC who received high-dose medroxyprogesterone (MPA) at our Hospital between January 2010 and December 2022 were reviewed.

Extraskeletal Myxoid Chondrosarcoma of the Vulva: A Case Report.

Extraskeletal myxoid chondrosarcoma (EMC) of the vulva is extremely rare. We report our experience with a case of disease control by radiation therapy to a localized lesion of EMC. A 41-year-old woman presented to our clinic with a vulvar mass.

The chronological change in transvaginal ultrasound images of a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst observed during infertility treatment: A case report and literature review.

Insights gained from chronological ultrasonogram images in the current case report will provide useful information for diagnosing and conservatively treating HOC. This could help avoid unnecessary laparotomy.

Association between spontaneous ovulation and serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels in a premature ovarian insufficiency patient after a multimodal treatment for breast cancer.

The high toxicity of chemotherapy can damage a patient's gonadal function, leading to premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Here, we report the case of a patient suffering from POI after chemotherapy for breast cancer, who 3 years later ovulated spontaneously and became pregnant. The patient, a 31-year-old infertile women, nulligravida, was diagnosed with breast cancer.

A Case of a Pregnant Woman with Thrombosis in an Artificial Aortic Valve Resulting in Severe Cerebral Hemorrhage in the Newborn.

Many patients, after artificial valve replacement surgery, receive warfarin anticoagulant therapy. However, it has been reported that warfarin administration during pregnancy can cause fetal teratogenicity. With reference to this case, we will discuss how warfarin administration in mid-pregnancy caused severe cerebral hemorrhage in the newborn child.
