Is retrograde menstruation a universal, recurrent, physiological phenomenon? A systematic review of the evidence in humans and non-human primates.

What are the quantitative, qualitative, and temporal patterns of retrograde mentruation? The extreme quantitative and qualitative heterogeneity of the available studies prevents the definitive conclusion that retrograde menstruation is a universal and consistent phenomenon during the reproductive period. Retrograde menstruation has been defined as a universal, physiological phenomenon that occurs similarly in about 90% of menstruators during the reproductive period. However, uncertainties still exist in terms of the event frequency, total amount, and cellular composition of retrograde menstruation and the differences between individuals with versus those without endometriosis. Two systematic reviews were performed, one for human studies, and one for non-human primate studies. We retrieved studies from the PubMed and Embase databases published between 1 January 1980 and 1 November 2023. Studies published in the English language were included and identified using a combination of MeSH terms. References from relevant publications were systematically screened and further articles were identified using PubMed's 'similar articles' and 'cited by' functions. Results were reported in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines. Studies that did not report original data or provided a review of the field were excluded. Bias analysis was completed for each included human study by using the Newcastle-Ottawa scoring system. Fifteen studies were finally included in the human systematic review, mostly with limited sample sizes. The macroscopic visualization of blood in PF during menses was reported with a frequency ranging from 9% to 100%. A prevalence of endometrial cells detected in peritoneal fluid ranging from 8% to 75% was reported in the various studies. Controversial findings were reported in relation to patients with endometriosis. Retrograde menstruation has been evaluated cross-sectionally on single occasions, and no information is available on the course of the phenomenon within an entire cycle and between subsequent cycles. Two studies were included in the non-human primate systematic review; one of them showed that retrograde menstruation was observed more frequently in baboons with naturally occurring endometriosis (83%) than in those with a normal pelvis (51%). In humans, peritoneal fluid has often been collected at different cycle phases and not systematically during menstruation. The indication for laparoscopy was not always clear for all participants. A wide variety of methods were used to detect endometrial cells, including cytological staining, cell block analysis, immunocytochemistry, and various methods of cell culture. The idea that almost all women experience retrograde menstruation regularly and similarly during their reproductive life is currently unsubstantiated. It is an academic notion accepted uncritically. Development of endometriosis may derive from differences in the frequency or severity of the event. The review was partially funded by Italian Ministry of Health-Current Research IRCCS. P.Vi. serves as co-editor in Chief of Journal of Endometriosis and Uterine Disorders. E.S. serves as Editor in Chief of Human Reproduction Open and discloses research grants from Ferring, Ibsa, Gedeon Richter, and Theramex, and honoraria from Ibsa and Gedeon Richter. P.Ve. serves as Associate Editor for Human Reproduction Open; is a member of the Editorial Board of the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Canada, of the Italian Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, and of the International Editorial Board of Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica; has received royalties from Wolters Kluwer for chapters on endometriosis management in the clinical decision support resource UpToDate; and maintains both a public and private gynecological practice. All other authors declare they have no conflict of interest. N/A.

Introduction: IJCAR – 2023 Issue

Dear readers, I am pleased to introduce the 2023 Issue of the International Journal of Child and Adolescent Resilience (IJCAR). This issue includes: two regular articles on trauma and maltreatment and associated impacts; three brief reports on varying aspects of hardships and resilience in different populations; and one theoretical paper about a narrative shelter model to give youth who experienced violence a voice and choice. In particular, the regular articles shed light on hardships and resilience experienced by differing populations. Bégin and colleagues examined the effects of using the internet survey method compared to a population-based telephone survey method on the profile of women with a history of child sexual abuse, in terms of socio-demographic data, victimization experiences, and mental health symptoms in adulthood. Jamison and colleagues aimed to gain insights on youth of color in the United States who have experienced violence regarding the associations between resilience and psychological health, social support, and school engagement. Furthermore, the 2023 issue of IJCAR also includes three brief reports on different topics associated to experiences of trauma, maltreatment, and resilience in various populations. Firstly, Brend et al. compared a sample of Finnish social workers serving children and families or social workers in other domains, in terms of the associations between moral distress and burnout amongst these groups. Secondly, Frederickson et al. investigated whether child maltreatment predicted the severity of posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms and symptom clusters for Canadian women during pregnancy, as well as changes in symptoms from pregnancy to three months postpartum. Finally, Souza et al. aimed to determine if social media in Brazil is a viable outlet for the dissemination of empirically supported information surrounding the topics of child abuse, adverse childhood events, and resilience. Finally, the issue ends with a theoretical paper by Nyirinkwaya and Jenney, regarding a shelter narrative model for research and practice on childhood experiences of intimate partner violence in young people, in order to integrate storytelling and storylistening to help youth exercise their voice and choice. Thus, we encourage you to read these various articles to obtain rich information about ongoing research in the field of resilience. I wish to also take this opportunity to sincerely thank all the members of the IJCAR team for their continuous and dedicated work in the editing and publishing process. Particularly, I wish to thank our associate editors, Dr. Tara Black, Dr. Delphine Collin-Vézina, Dr. Isabelle Daigneault, Dr. Rachel Langevin, and Dr. Nicole Racine; layout editor, Manon Robichaud; and managing editor and senior copyeditor, Teresa Pirro, all of which have done a fantastic job in their varying roles. I also want to take this opportunity to welcome Dr. Roxanne Guyon as a new associate editor. We hope you enjoy reading the current issue! This is also a friendly reminder to prepare your manuscripts for the next issue. Please submit your manuscripts in English, or in French, and feel free to forward this information to colleagues and students who may be interested. We look forward to your manuscripts and to the next issue of IJCAR. Happy reading! Martine Hébert, Editor-in-Chief

My deepest gratitude...

My first expression as Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of the Foot and Ankle is one of deep gratitude for the opportunity that is being given to me by the Editor Emeritus and now President of ABTPé, Prof. Dr. Alexandre Leme Godoy-Santos and our colleagues from the board of Associate Editors who elevated me to this position. My gratitude also extends to ABTPé, which, through successive directorships, has been providing support and encouragement to the maintenance and growth of our journal. The task we undertake is challenging and immense—it depends on everyone's participation, from the most renowned professional who allows himself to publish with us to the most novice student who aspires, one day, to have his name written on our pages so that his ideas can be known to everyone. It depends on the altruism and tenacity of authors, reviewers, translators, correctors, layout designers, and technical editors to achieve the desired indexing. We have already been much further from achieving this goal than we are now, but we still have a long way to go! Let's accomplish this together. In addition to a new system for submitting and evaluating articles, more in line with the major international scientific journals, we will include in each issue review articles whose main virtue will be to update professionals who are working daily and instruct young doctors who are still preparing to participate in this toil. I urge everyone to read, disseminate, discuss, criticize, and share the learning we bring to our pages with your colleagues, residents, and students. We will consolidate the position of the Journal of the Foot and Ankle as a viable and practical alternative for disseminating your research. Welcome...we need everyone's help!

Thank You to Our 2023 Reviewers

AbstractThe entire editorial board of the Journal of Geophysical Research‐Solid Earth would like to sincerely thank all our colleagues who reviewed manuscripts for us in 2023. The hours they spent reading in order to provide insightful comments on manuscripts not only help improve the quality of these manuscripts but also ensure the scientific rigor of our reviewing process and eventually, of the research published in the field of Solid Earth Geophysics by our journal. With the advent of open science and AGU's data policy, the reviewing process now also encompasses checking the accessibility and availability of data and developed software. This is a key objective of AGU's FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable) policy, for which many reviewers have provided suggestions that helped to improve the data presentation and availability, and which also fed the editorial board's reflection on the matter. Of course, we particularly appreciate timely reviews, particularly in light of the growing demands imposed by the increase of manuscripts submitted to Journal of Geophysical Research‐Solid Earth. We received 1,869 submissions in 2023, and 1,472 reviewers contributed to their evaluation by providing 2,237 reviews in total. We are deeply thankful for all of their contributions. The editorial board of Journal of Geophysical Research‐Solid Earth: Rachel Abercrombie, Yves Bernabé, Michael Bostock (former editor), Mark Dekkers, Anke Friedrich, Shin‐Chan Han, Satoshi Ide, Isabelle Manighetti (former EIC), Fenglin Niu, Douglas R. Schmitt, Alexandre Schubnel (EIC), Jun Tsuchiya, and all the associate editors of JGR‐SE.

PACMNET, V2, CoNEXT1, March 2024 Editorial

The Proceedings of the ACM on Networking (PACMNET) series present the highest-quality research conducted in the areas of emerging computer networks and their applications. We encourage submissions that present new technologies, novel experimentation, creative use of networking technologies, and new insights made possible using analysis. The journal is strongly supported by the ACM Special Interest Group on Communications and Computer Networks (SIGCOMM) and involves top-level researchers in its Editorial Board. This issue contains four papers submitted for the June '23 deadline that were revised by their authors based on the extensive feedback provided by the reviewers. We would like to thank the many individuals who contributed to this issue of PACMNET, in particular the authors, who submitted their best work to PACMNET, and the Associate Editors, who provided constructive feedback to the authors in their reviews, participated in the online discussions and the Editors' meeting. We would like also to thank the SIGCOMM Executive Committee Chair and the CoNEXT Steering Committee members who supported and guided us as usual.

Incentives that Drive the Editorial Peer Review process

Objectives:&#x0D; To offer insights for authors and prospective authors on the editorial peer review process.&#x0D; Methods:&#x0D; Case series. Observations from service as an associate editor at four peer reviewed journals, a peer reviewer of at least 60 manuscripts, and author of over 70 peer reviewed journal articles.&#x0D; Results:&#x0D; Editors, peer reviewers, and authors are all volunteers who assure the continued building of our evidence base. While they share some of the same values and incentives, their roles sometimes conflict due to divergent incentives. These divergences can often lead to misunderstandings by authors or prospective authors. By understanding these different incentives, authors can better appreciate feedback from editorial peer reviewers and editors.&#x0D; Conclusion:&#x0D; Convergent and divergent incentives can either strengthen or disrupt the editorial peer review process. Through a better understanding of this network of incentives, authors can function more effectively in the editorial peer review process.
