Does long-term reproductive outcome after early pregnancy loss (EPL) differ between women who are treated with misoprostol and surgical aspiration. A historic cohort study of all women who were diagnosed with early pregnancy loss (≤12 weeks), in a single medical centre, between September 2016 and August 2017, was conducted. The women were treated w...
Background: Cândido Godói (CG) is a small city in South Brazil in which natural twin births (both monozygotic and dizygotic) occur at an unusually high rate and the twin trait runs through the local families, which are mostly European descendants. We have argued that a genetic founder effect must have occurred during the settlement of CG and that g...

Kisspeptin, encoded by Kiss1 gene expressing neurons in the hypothalamus, is a requisite for fertility and now appears critical in the regulation of energy balance. Kisspeptin neurons, particularly those in the arcuate nucleus (ARC), receive information directly and indirectly from a diverse array of brain regions including the bed nucleus of the s...

With advances in treatment modalities and medical knowledge, girls with congenital urologic disorders are living well into adulthood. Although, sexual and reproductive function in this population is still poorly understood. The aim is to review existing literature about fertility and sexuality in women with congenital genitourinary disorders, inclu...

In lately December 2019, a novel coronavirus (SARS‐CoV‐2) outbreak occurred in Wuhan, PR China. It is a high contagious virus that has threatened human health worldwide. SARS‐CoV‐2 infection, termed COVID‐19, causes rapidly developing lung lesions that can lead to multiple organ failure in a short period. Whenever a novel virus emerges, reproductiv...

Our objectives in this review are 1) to define the four components of sow lifetime performance, 2) to organize the four components and other key measures in a lifetime performance tree, and 3) to compile information about sow and herd-level predictors for sow lifetime performance that can help producers or veterinarians improve their decision makin...

BackgroundIsolated fallopian tube torsion associated with hydrosalpinx is a rare condition in the pediatric population. We present this unusual clinical case study in a sexually inactive girl.Case presentationa12-year-old Caucasian girl presented symptoms of acute abdominal pain. Pelvic ultrasound revealed a normal looking uterus and ovaries and ne...

BackgroundImproving sow fertility is extremely important as it can lead to increased reproductive efficiency and thus profitability for swine producers. There are considerable differences in fertility rates among individual animals, but the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. In this study, by using different types of RNA libraries, we ...

Study Objective We aimed to describe fertility desires in healthy adolescent females and to explore associations of fertility desire with conditions and therapies potentially compromising fertility. Design This was a cross-sectional, anonymous survey. Setting and Participants A total of 323 female adolescents aged 13-19 years were recruited from cl...

BackgroundSeveral long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been shown to function as components of molecular machines that play fundamental roles in biology. While the number of annotated lncRNAs in mammalian genomes has greatly expanded, studying lncRNA function has been a challenge due to their diverse biological roles and because lncRNA loci can conta...
