Objective: To evaluate changes in ovarian reserve in patients following hysterectomy, with or without bilateral salpingectomy or fimbriectomy.
Study Design: Open-label, prospective cohort trial of patients undergoing hysterectomy for benign uterine indications. Levels of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), and ultrasonic measures of peak systolic flow velocity/diastolic velocity (S/D) ratio and resistance index (RI) in the ovarian artery were taken from patients before and 6 weeks after hysterectomy, hysterectomy+salpingectomy or hysterectomy+fimbriectomy.
Results: The study period was from November 2011 to May 2014. Sixty patients were included in the final analysis, after two patients were lost to follow-up and one patient underwent bilateral oophorectomy. Of these 60 patients, 16 underwent hysterectomy alone (control group), and 44 were included in the study group (22 patients underwent hysterectomy+fimbriectomy and 22 patients underwent hysterectomy+salpingectomy). The mean age of patients was 46 years (standard deviation 4.07 years). Between-group dfferences in FSH, AMH, ovarian volume, ovarian artery S/D ratio and ovarian artery RI were not significant.
Conclusion: The addition of salpingectomy or fimbriectomy to routine hysterectomy in premenopausal patients does not diminish ovarian reserve.

Guanidinoacetic acid (GAA), a precursor of creatine, has a recognized effect on ruminant performance when used as a dietary supplement. However, its impact on reproductive response remains to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aimed to contribute initially to this area by supplementing the diets of ewes with a high dose of GAA, evaluating its effects on reproductive response.

Background: Obesity, a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), is associated with hypertension and vascular dysfunction. Perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT), a metabolically active tissue surrounding blood vessels, plays a key role in regulating vascular tone. In obesity, PVAT becomes dysregulated which may contribute to vascular dysfunction; how sex impacts the remodelling of PVAT and thus the altered vascular contractility during obesity is unclear.

Background: Isoproterenol (ISO) is a nonselective beta-adrenergic receptor agonist known for its vasodilatory effects. This experiment aims to investigate whether intrauterine ISO administration could alter vascular indices and follicular development in postpartum Holstein cows.
Objectives: The objectives are to evaluate the effects of intrauterine ISO administration on vascular changes and its impact on follicular development compared to placebo groups.

The relationship between cancer and thrombosis was initially highlighted in the 19th century. Vascular complications in oncology can be arterial or venous thrombosis, and incidental pulmonary embolism is a growing challenge. We aimed to describe the frequency and clinical characteristics of cancer patients with incidental venous thromboembolism (iVTE).

Background: Premenopausal risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy (RRSO) in women at high familial risk of ovarian cancer leads to immediate menopause. Although early natural menopause is associated with increased cardiovascular disease risk, evidence on long-term cardiovascular disease risk after early surgical menopause is scarce.
Objectives: We sought to determine the long-term influence of the timing of RRSO on the development of coronary artery calcium (CAC), an established marker for cardiovascular disease risk.
