This systematic review with meta-analysis was conducted and reported following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodological guidance for systematic reviews of observational epidemiological studies reporting prevalence and cumulative incidence data. We included observational studies that assessed the number of patients with adenomyosis among adolescents and young women, the majority of whom presented with dysmenorrhea. The methodological quality of the included studies and their potential risk of bias were ascertained using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool for Prevalence Studies. The main outcome was the prevalence of adenomyosis among symptomatic adolescents (midpoint of the study age range, <20 years) and young women (midpoint of the study age range, ≥20 years). Three meta-analyses, categorized by age, were performed using Stata to pool adenomyosis prevalence data from selected studies.

Survey and interview data reveal that patients and the public have largely favorable views regarding the use of PGT-P for disease prevention; however, clinicians and professional organizations have many reservations. The use of PGT-P raises multiple social and ethical concerns including the need for adequate counseling, the setting of realistic expectations, the application of distributive justice, the impact of environmental and social determinants of health, and the potential exacerbation of health inequities. Clinicians expressed significant concerns relating to the cost of PGT-P, the potential time-consuming counseling for reproductive endocrinologists and genetic counselors, the intentional creation of supernumerary embryos, and patients’ unrealistic expectations regarding “healthiest disease-free” embryos. Furthermore, current evidence lacks long-term outcome data and generalizability. Before offering PGT-P to patients, additional clinical validation studies are needed. Also, ethical and social considerations raised by PGT-P should be carefully delineated.

Although retrograde menstruation is widely accepted as a mechanism for the dissemination of endometrial cells to ectopic sites, the processes that enable their survival, invasion, and lesion formation remain incompletely understood. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has emerged as a potential driver, promoting cellular plasticity that supports ectopic implantation and invasion. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition is closely linked to inflammation, with transforming growth factor-β–mediated pathways playing a central role in driving these transitions. Chronic inflammation also induces fibroblast-myofibroblast transition (FMT) and smooth muscle metaplasia, processes that exacerbate fibrosis through excessive extracellular matrix deposition and fibroblast activation. These fibrotic changes worsen symptoms and contribute to disease progression. This review explores EMT and FMT as key mechanistic links between inflammation and fibrosis and discusses how targeting these pathways could offer novel therapeutic strategies to disrupt fibrotic progression, alleviate symptoms, and improve patient outcomes. Additionally, EMT and FMT markers hold promise as diagnostic tools, offering potential for earlier detection and more precise staging of endometriosis.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":73011,"journal":{"name":"F&S reviews","volume":"6 1","pages":"Article 100089"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143645032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Of the numerous potential causes of male infertility, varicocele is the most common and correctable. Although there are several hypotheses for the mechanism by which varicocele may cause symptoms such as infertility, pain, or hypogonadism, many patients with varicocele remain asymptomatic, and it remains unclear why only a subset of men with varicocele develop symptomatic pathology. Biomarkers are measurable indicators of disease presence or progression and have been proposed for use in the diagnosis and management of men with various reproductive conditions, including varicocele. This study examines a range of markers, including proteins, ribonucleic acid, deoxyribonucleic acid, and metabolites. Proteins implicated in heat shock reactions, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial function, including heat shock protein family A member 2, apolipoprotein A2, and TOM22, have been investigated within the context of varicocele when compared with their expression in healthy men. Additionally, potential biomarkers associated with sperm motility and spermatogenesis, such as serpin family A member 5 and adenosine triphosphate synthase delta domain protein, have been identified with studies showing improvement in concentrations post varicocelectomy. The pursuit of noninvasive biomarkers has gained significance for predicting improvement in fertility and assessing responses to varicocelectomy, offering opportunities for early intervention, minimizing unnecessary surgeries, and optimizing patient outcomes. This review consolidates current knowledge, underscores existing gaps, and outlines future research directions refining diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for varicocele-related infertility.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":73011,"journal":{"name":"F&S reviews","volume":"5 3","pages":"Article 100074"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141034040","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
