Article Abstract
Evaluation of the modulatory effect of ethanolic extract of tuber (EEAIT) against γ-irradiation induced ovarian and uterine toxicity. Extract preparation was done by 80% hydro-ethanol using Soxhlet apparatus. EEAIT was administered to female Swiss albino mice ( 5) daily (200 and 400 mg/kg body weight/d) for 7 days before γ-irradiation exposure (2.9 Gy). FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone, cytokine levels, and oxidative stress parameters were measured after 24 hours of γ-irradiation. Histology, folliculogenesis, viability of granulosa cells, ROS measurement by flow cytometry, western blot of P450scc, P45017A1, 3β HSD and SF 1 were also performed. In addition, fertility status was assessed by fecundability and fecundity. The results showed that EEAIT exhibit a strong radioprotective activity by reducing the oxidative stress and thereby restored the ovarian and uterine alterations. EEAIT also improved the abnormality in follicle development, restored altered gonadal hormones and cytokines levels, increase the fertility status, reducing ROS level of granulosa cells with increasing granulosa cells viability and steroidogenic enzyme activity as compared to control. So EEAIT showed a radioprotective effect on γ-irradiation induced ovarian and uterine damage. Our results suggested that tuber can be a potential radioprotector to prevent female infertility.

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), a common gynecologic concern in adolescents, often leads to significant physical and emotional distress. This article provides a comprehensive overview of AUB in adolescence, including classification, common causes, diagnosis, and management. The physiology of the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian axis is reviewed, highlighting its role in menstrual regulation and the immaturity-related anovulation that commonly contributes to AUB in the first 2 to 3 years after menarche.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC) and uterine cancer (UC) are significant public health concerns among women of reproductive age. High body mass index (BMI) contributes to the increasing burden of these cancers globally, but comprehensive epidemiological assessments remain limited.
Methods: Data were obtained from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) Study 2021 (1990-2021).

Introduction: Giant borderline ovarian tumours (GBOTs) are rare neoplasms that require meticulous management to prevent high-risk operative complications. The broader goal of this systematic review is to consolidate the existing knowledge on GBOTs by focusing on diagnostic approaches, differential diagnoses, and treatment strategies. Furthermore, the relationship between the clinical features of GBOTs and the types of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures implemented was determined.
