Abstract Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), a common endocrine disorder in reproductive-aged women, has substantial physical and psychological impacts. While the physical manifestations of PCOS are well established, the psychological burden, especially anxiety, is understudied in Saudi Arabia. This study aimed to assess the prevalence of generalized anxiety disorder among females with PCOS compared to those without PCOS, and to identify the clinical and sociodemographic factors associated with anxiety in the Jazan region of Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted between January and March 2023 using an Arabic self-administered online questionnaire distributed via social… More >

Abstract One of the significant health issues affecting women that impacts their fertility and results in serious health concerns is Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS). Consequently, timely screening of polycystic ovarian syndrome can help in the process of recovery. Finding a method to aid doctors in this procedure was crucial due to the difficulties in detecting this condition. This research aimed to determine whether it is possible to optimize the detection of PCOS utilizing Deep Learning algorithms and methodologies. Additionally, feature selection methods that produce the most important subset of features can speed up calculation and enhance… More >

Abstract The development of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is closely related to the chronic inflammatory and obese. Recent studies have found macrophages regulate the chronic inflammation and adipose tissue remodelling, but the underlying mechanisms have not been clarified. In this study, we established a model of PCOS in the offspring rats by high androgen exposure during late pregnancy in parental and established a female rat macrophage eliminating model by rejection of clodronate liposome. Then, the offspring rat macrophage phenotype in offspring female rat adipose tissue, and levels of testosterone, angiogenic factors (PDGF and VEGF) and inflammatory… More >
