Aim: This study aimed to investigate the impact of lymph node dissection on the prognosis of early epithelial ovarian cancer and to assess the factors associated with lymph node metastasis.
Methods: In this retrospective study, we collected and analyzed the demographic characteristics, clinical pathological data, and perioperative adverse events in newly diagnosed early epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients, Federation International of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage IA-IIA. The patients underwent surgical treatment at the First, Second, and Third Affiliated Hospitals of Wenzhou Medical University in Zhejiang Province, China, between June 2012 and June 2022.
Introduction: The objective of this study was to investigate both antiphospholipid antibodies (aPLs) and non-criteria aPLs (NC-aPLs) in relation with pregnancy outcomes.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 1574 pregnant women with experienced at least one miscarriage who were tested for aPLs and NC-aPLs, and compared their clinical characteristics, immune biomarkers, and pregnancy outcomes. The χ2 test or Fisher's exact test compared pregnancy outcomes among patients negative for all aPLs, positive for NC‑aPLs subtypes, and positive for criteria aPLs subtypes.

Background: It has been proven that immune disorders are one of the vital risk factors of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL), and the presence of food intolerance seems to play an essential role in this. However, the impact of immune status induced by food intolerance on RPL has not been reported. This study utilized a targeted diet avoiding food intolerance as much as possible for each participant to investigate their effects on pregnancy outcomes in RPL patients with positive autoimmune markers.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 477 pregnant women with experienced at least one spontaneous miscarriage who were tested for aPT and aPS/PT antibodies, and compared their clinical characteristics, coagulation indicators, immune biomarkers, and pregnancy outcomes to assess the diagnostic accuracy of these antibodies.
Results: We found that the aPT IgG and the aPS/PT IgM were independently associated with increased risk of pregnancy loss, with odds ratios (ORs) of 1.
Background: Intramural ectopic pregnancy is a rare form of ectopic pregnancy that occurs within the myometrium. It is challenging to diagnose it early because of its nonspecific clinical presentation, and there is no consensus or guideline on the optimal management among gynecologists.
Case Presentation: We report a case of a 34-year-old woman who developed fundal intramural ectopic pregnancy after a previous caesarean section with B-Lynch suture.
