Comprehensive data on the relationship between KCNJ11 polymorphisms and gestational diabetes mellitus predisposition: a meta-analysis.

Purpose: The genetic aspect of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is influenced by multiple causal genetic variants, each with different effect sizes. The KCNJ11 gene is particularly noteworthy as a potential contributor to the risk of GDM due to its role in regulating glucose-induced insulin secretion. To evaluate the association between KCNJ11 polymorphisms and GDM, a comprehensive meta-analysis was conducted to review the existing literature and quantitatively assess the correlation.

A Comprehensive Integration of Data Regarding the Correlation of TNF-α rs1800629 Polymorphism with Susceptibility to Cervical Cancer.

Background: Cervical cancer, globally, ranks as the runner-up among the most prevalent forms of cancer affecting women. The role of the tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) polymorphism in the susceptibility to cervical cancer has been a subject of interest. However, the current evidence regarding this association remains inconclusive.

Association of the CXCL12 rs1801157 Polymorphism with Breast Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis.

PubMed, Scopus, Embase, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CNKI were searched for eligible studies through February 01, 2023.

Association between XRCC2 Arg188His Polymorphism and Breast Cancer Susceptibility: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in the world and leading cause of cancer-related death among women. Several studies indicated that Arg188His (rs3218536) polymorphism of X-ray repair cross-complementing 2 (XRCC2) may be associated with breast cancer risk. However, this association remains ambiguous.

A Clinical Decision Support System for Assessing the Risk of Cervical Cancer: Development and Evaluation Study.

Background: Cervical cancer has been recognized as a preventable type of cancer. As the assessment of all the risk factors of a disease is challenging for physicians, information technology and risk assessment models have been used to estimate the degree of risk.

Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a clinical decision support system to assess the risk of cervical cancer.

Comparing the IVM laboratory outcomes between stimulated IVF with unstimulated natural cycles.

Recently, more attention has been raised towards fertility preservation in women with cancer. One option is maturation (IVM) of the immature oocytes as there is not enough time for induction of an ovarian stimulation protocol. The aim was to compare the IVM laboratory outcomes between stimulated and unstimulated (natural) fertilization (IVF) cycles.

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen presentation, as a marker of folliculogenesis, in the transplanted ovarian tissue.

Aim: One of the most important ways to understand the ovarian biology is studding the initiation of primordial follicle development and subsequent folliculogenesis control. In this study, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) presentation was used as a marker of follicular development in the thawed ovarian tissue (OT) following transplantation onto chick embryo chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) using two methods of freezing of slow freezing and vitrification.

Methods: Samples of OT from 10 patients were subjected to slow freezing and vitrification.

Association of IL-6 -174G>C and -572G>C Polymorphisms with Susceptibility to Cervical Cancer and Ovarian Cancer.

Background: During the past decades, the expansion of molecular development has had a key role in understanding the basis of gynecological cancer. Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is known to be involved in the pathogenesis of different cancers. Here, we evaluated the association of IL-6 -174G>C and -572 G>C polymorphisms with susceptibility to cervical and ovarian cancers in an Iranian population.

Meta-analysis of the frequency of intrauterine growth restriction and preterm premature rupture of the membranes in pregnant women with COVID-19.

The impact of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) in pregnancy has yet to be determined. Some studies indicate that SARSCoV- 2 infection may be associated with a higher risk of adverse outcomes in pregnant women. Here, we performed a meta-analysis to estimate the frequency of intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) and preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM) in pregnant women with Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19).

A meta-analysis for the risk and prevalence of preeclampsia among pregnant women with COVID-19.

Preeclampsia and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection are both life-threatening disorders when they occur during pregnancy. They are similarly characterized by systemic immune activation and have a deleterious effect on maternal endothelial cells. During the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, there were reports of preeclampsia or a preeclampsia-like syndrome occurring in pregnant women with SARS-CoV-2 infection.

Ovarian Tissue Reservation and Risk of Reimplantation in a Young Girl with Acute Lymphocytic Leukemia after 6-Month Chemotherapy: A Case Report.

In the fertility preservation programs, ovarian cryopreservation is usually offered when the risk of premature ovarian failure is high (>30-50%) while the risk of ovarian metastasis is low. According to the guidelines, it must be done before the patient receives chemotherapy. A 22-year-old girl with acute lymphocytic leukemia was a candidate for ovarian cryopreservation after 6 months of chemotherapy.

Therapeutic Effect of Curcumin in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Receiving Metformin: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is the most common cause of anovulatory infertility, for which the insulin sensitizer metformin has been used therapeutically. It has been shown that curcumin also exhibits insulin-sensitizing properties. Given that metformin acts as an ovulation inducing agent and both curcumin and metformin can reduce insulin resistance, the aim of the current study was to evaluate the effect of metformin with and without curcumin nanomicelles in the treatment of women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Accuracy of the Triple Test Versus Colposcopy for the Diagnosis of Premalignant and Malignant Cervical Lesions.

Background: Despite the World Health Organization (WHO) recommendations concerning the use of alternative tests for the detection of cervical cancer precursor lesions in low-income countries, the accuracy of these tests is a debated issue. In the present study we compare the diagnostic accuracy of the triple test with that of colposcopy for the diagnosis of premalignant and malignant cervical lesions.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed in 328 women referred to the gynecology clinic at Shahid Sadoughi Hospital, affiliated to Yazd University of Medical Sciences (SSUMS), Yazd, Iran, from March 2016 to June 2018.
