TL;DR: Pregnancy is not "protective" with respect to risk of relapse of major depression, and women with histories of depression who are euthymic in the context of ongoing antidepressant therapy should be aware of the association of depressive relapse during pregnancy with antidepressant discontinuation.

TL;DR: This is the first multicenter, international collaboration between academic centers and industry addressing standardization of phenotypic data collection for a specific disease, and SSF and MSF are essential tools to increase the understanding of the pathogenesis of endometriosis by allowing large-scale collaborative research into the condition.

TL;DR: The EPQ captures the basic set of patient characteristics and exposures considered by the WERF EPHect Working Group to be most critical for the advancement of endometriosis research, but is also relevant to other female conditions with similar risk factors and/or symptomatology.

TL;DR: The Endometriosis Phenome and Biobanking Harmonization Project (EPhect) as discussed by the authors harmonizes standard operating procedures (SOPs) and standardizes the recording of associated data for collection, processing, and storage of fluid biospecimens relevant to endometria.

TL;DR: Several traditional and new risk factors for ovarian cancer may be explained by their ability to induce M UC1 immunity through exposure of MUC1 to immune recognition in the context of inflammatory or hormonal processes in various MUC2-positive tissues.
