Background And Aim: Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is an autoimmune disease, which has a heavy disease burden and seriously affects the reproductive health of women of reproductive age. Therefore, this study assessed the disease burden of T1DM among women of reproductive age worldwide.
Methods And Results: This study extracted the incidence, prevalence, disability adjusted life years (DALYs) and deaths data of T1DM in women of reproductive age from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) database from 1990 to 2021. The percentage change and the Estimated Annual Percentage Change were used to assess the change trend of T1DM burden in women of reproductive age, and the Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort model was used to predict the future disease burden. Compared to 1990, global incidence, prevalence, DALYs, and deaths cases of T1DM among women of reproductive age had significantly increased in 2021. The global age-standardized incidence rate (ASIR) and age-standardized prevalence rate (ASPR) rose, while age-standardized DALY rate (ASDR) and age-standardized mortality rates (ASMR) declined. High socio-demographic index (SDI) areas had higher ASIR and ASPR, and lower SDI regions had higher ASDR and ASMR. Younger age groups had higher ASIR, and elder age groups had higher ASPR, ASDR, and ASMR. By 2040, the burden is expected to further increase.
Conclusions: In general, from 1990 to 2021, the global burden of T1DM among women of reproductive age significantly increased, especially the rising incidence and prevalence rates, highlighting the need for enhanced management and treatment.

Research Question: What is the composition of bacterial communities at various genital sites and are there potential interactions between partners' microbiota?
Design: This observational study involved metagenomic analyses of samples collected from male and female partners of couples undergoing fertility treatment. Samples included vaginal and penile swabs, as well as follicular fluid and semen, which were analysed using next-generation sequencing.
Results: The bacterial community profiles of different genital tract niches were distinct, niche-specific compositions, with female samples predominantly featuring Lactobacillus species and male samples displaying greater microbial diversity, including genital-specific and skin-associated taxa.

The use of donor eggs, sperm and embryos in medically assisted reproduction (MAR) provide new possibilities for reproductive assistance and family-making. In clinical practice, it also brings to light questions of responsibility and ethical conduct. Despite this, fertility practitioners' reasoning in clinical decision-making remains surprisingly understudied.

Background: Reproductive-age women with intrauterine adhesions (IUAs) following uterine surgery may be asymptomatic or may experience light or absent menstruation, infertility, preterm delivery, and/or peripartum hemorrhage. Understanding procedure- and technique-specific risks and the available evidence on the impact of surgical adjuvants is essential to the design of future research.
Objective And Rationale: While many systematic reviews have been published, most deal with singular aspects of the problem.

Objective: Exosomes are secreted by most cell types and reflect the internal state of their cells of origin, playing crucial roles in the progression of various pathological conditions. Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, including in the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and peritoneal cavity. It primarily affects women of reproductive age and is often associated with infertility.

Background & Aims: Pregnancy can be a complex and risk-filled event for women with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). High-quality studies in this population are lacking, with limited data on medications approved to treat IBD during pregnancy. For patients, limited knowledge surrounding pregnancy impacts pregnancy rates, medication adherence, and outcomes.
