research Hormone replacement therapy in morphine-induced hypogonadic male chronic pain patients
This study suggests testosterone gel administered for one year to male chronic pain patients receiving morphine may improve sexual function and mental health, despite limited effects on overall pain scores.
research The prevalence of metabolic disorders in various phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome: a community based study in Southwest of Iran
This study observed that among women with polycystic ovary syndrome, those with the most severe phenotype showed the highest levels of metabolic disturbances, indicating the need for metabolic screening in these cases.
research The prevalence of idiopathic hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome in the Tehran Lipid and Glucose Study
In this study of reproductive-aged women in Tehran, idiopathic hirsutism and polycystic ovary syndrome were reported to be prevalent, with rates influenced by the screening methods used.
research Tracking research trends and hotspots in sperm DNA fragmentation testing for the evaluation of male infertility: a scientometric analysis
This review found an increasing trend in research on sperm DNA fragmentation over the past 20 years, especially focusing on lifestyle factors, asthenozoospermia, and varicocele, with the TUNEL technique as a predominant method.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome in Salvador, Brazil: a prevalence study in primary healthcare
In this study, the prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome among women seeking primary healthcare in Salvador, Brazil, was found to be 8.5% using the Rotterdam criteria.
research Afamin serum concentrations are associated with insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome in polycystic ovary syndrome
In this study, elevated afamin concentrations were associated with metabolic syndrome in young women, particularly those with insulin resistance, suggesting a potential predictive role for afamin in metabolic risk assessment.
research Improving inter-observer variability in the evaluation of ultrasonographic features of polycystic ovaries
This study found that participation in a training workshop can significantly improve the reliability of evaluating ultrasonographic features of polycystic ovaries, suggesting standardized training modules should be used for consistent diagnosis of PCOS.
research 5α-reductase activity in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Women with PCOS have higher 5α-reductase activity, which may be linked to insulin resistance.
research The effects of statins on hyperandrogenism in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
This study found that statin treatment significantly reduced androgen levels and improved symptoms of hyperandrogenism, such as hirsutism and acne, in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research New hyaluronan-based biomatrix for 3-D follicle culture yields functionally competent oocytes
This study demonstrated that hyaluronan gel is a promising biomaterial for 3-D in vitro culture of mouse ovarian follicles, supporting the production of fertilizable metaphase II oocytes.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
In this study, researchers found that human ovaries at different life stages biosynthesize both canonical and non-canonical steroid hormones, with fetal ovaries showing higher enzyme activity related to estradiol and testosterone conversion compared to adult tissues.
research Characterization of polycystic ovary syndrome among Flo app users around the world
This study found that bloating is the most frequently reported symptom and a main predictor of polycystic ovary syndrome among women using the Flo app across five countries.
research Hyperandrogenism and menstrual imbalance are the best predictors of metformin response in PCOS patients
This study aimed to identify reliable predictors for the effectiveness of metformin therapy in weight loss and reduction of plasma androgen levels in PCOS women, highlighting the unpredictability of response to treatment.
research Age-specific cut-off levels of anti-Müllerian hormone can be used as diagnostic markers for polycystic ovary syndrome
This study found that using age-specific AMH cut-off levels can help better identify PCOS patients across different age groups from 20 to 40 years.
