Humans are the only species with a commensal Lactobacillus-dominant vaginal microbiota. Reproductive tract microbes have been linked to fertility outcomes, as has intrauterine inflammation, suggesting immune response may mediate adverse outcomes. In ...
OBJECTIVE: This study investigates the relationship between vaginal radiation dose and radiation-induced vaginal injury in cervical cancer patients, with the aim of developing a risk prediction model to support personalized treatment strategies.
BACKGROUND: Transvaginal insertion of polypropylene mesh was extensively used in surgical procedures to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) due to its cost-efficiency and durability. However, studies have reported a high rate of complications, includin...
Ultrasound in obstetrics & gynecology : the official journal of the International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology
Jan 24, 2025
OBJECTIVES: The development of valuable artificial intelligence (AI) tools to assist with ultrasound diagnosis depends on algorithms developed using high-quality data. This study aimed to test the intra- and interobserver agreement of a proposed imag...
This study develops predictive models for Chinese female patients with VL utilizing machine learning techniques. The aim is to create an effective model that can assist in clinical diagnosis and treatment of vaginal relaxation, thereby enhancing wome...
BACKGROUND: The longitudinal vaginal septum and oblique vaginal septum are female müllerian duct anomalies that are relatively less diagnosed but severely fertility-threatening in clinical practice. Ultrasound imaging is commonly used to examine the ...
UNLABELLED: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is an abnormal gynecological condition caused by the overgrowth of specific bacteria in the vagina. This study aims to develop a novel method for BV detection by integrating surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS...
The Nugent score is a commonly used diagnostic tool for bacterial vaginosis. However, its accuracy depends on the skills of laboratory technicians. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of deep learning models in predicting the Nugent score to...
Successful identification of estrum or other stages in a cycling bitch often requires a combination of methods, including assessment of its behavior, exfoliative vaginal cytology, vaginoscopy, and hormonal assays. Vaginoscopy is a handy and inexpensi...
Frontiers in cellular and infection microbiology
Apr 5, 2024
BACKGROUND: Bacterial vaginosis (BV) is a most common microbiological syndrome. The use of molecular methods, such as multiplex real-time PCR (mPCR) and next-generation sequencing, has revolutionized our understanding of microbial communities. Here, ...
