Title: Post-abortion needs-based education via the WeChat platform to lessen fear and
encourage effective contraception: A Post-abortion Care Service intervention-controlled trial
Version: 3 Date: 07 Dec 2023
Reviewer's report:
This is an interesting paper focusing evaluate the effectiveness of digital health on PAC.
Introduction
- lines 88-89; Adding evidence from systematic review regarding  immediate post-abortion
contraception would be beneficial, especially for efficacy and safety. Some may concern
that hormonal method such as contraceptive implants might affect the medical abortion
effectiveness.
- lines 132-134 are not quite clear to me.
- lines 141-144 need the citation.
Method
- Line 168; what is the definition of menopause? Normally, it refer to the ovarian failure in
aging women.
- How the sample size was calculate?
- The controlled group received only counseling? How long did the session last?
- Did the intervention group received the same counselling as well?
- How was the educational program developed? Was it based on a standard program or the
authors developed it themselves? If it based on the standard program, please cite.
- lines  236-243 were very unclear. I suggest categorize contraceptive methods based on
effectiveness according to WHO.
Results
- Age of the control group went missing in table 1
- What is the "t" in table 2-4? t-test?
- "Compared to the control group, the number of effective contraceptive measures increased
noticeably in the WeChat group, and the changes were statistically significant (Table 3)." Was
the analysis compare pre and post-intervention or between intervention and control group? The
text mentioned increased noticeably seems to be pre and post-intervention. However, table 3
showed comparison between the groups.
Discussion
- line 327; what is the early pregnancy drugs? medical termination of pregnancy?
- I'm not familiar with "luck-based precautions". Please elaborate more.
- lines 331-335; This information is not presented in the results section.
- Please compare the effect of telemedicine on contraceptive use with other studies, especially
the studies conducted in postabortion or postpartum women during the COVID-19 pandemic
since this study was conducted during the same period.
- Please add the implication for research and practice and strengths. The limitations, to me,
should move to be before the conclusion.
Title: Post-abortion needs-based education via the WeChat platform to lessen fear and
encourage effective contraception: A Post-abortion Care Service intervention-controlled trial
Version: 3 Date: 08 Dec 2023
Reviewer:  Ayse Akin
Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
The study addressed an important issue and I congratulate the researchers.
It is also valuable that the research design is a Controlled - Random study.
It is an example of an educational method that can be applied in appropriate settings.
Tests used for statistical analysis are appropriate and indicate a favourable results for
counselling.
However Some of the terminology used in the manuscript may be appropriate and
understandable for the country where the research was conducted. In fact, for a better
understanding internationally, I would recommend using more common terminology. For
example: accidental abortion - at first reading "induced abortion" or "spontaneous -
miscarriage?" causes hesitation, it would be better to use induced abortion -intended abortion
instead.
The other confusing word is menopausal and I wonder if this word is meant to be amenorrhoeic.
That should also be revised according to what it was meant
Apart from these, the results are clear and and the study showed that the training method used
is also effective.
I suggest one other correction:
Line  between 128 to 132, which is the following paragraph :
“Contraception, which shields women, especially adolescent girls, from pregnancy-related
health concerns, is the best strategy to avoid unintended pregnancies. When babies are born
fewer than two to three years apart, infant mortality increases by 45%, and when they are born
four years apart or more, "it increases"  by 60% [1]”.Here the Word of  increases by 60%   should
be "decreases" by 60% .  So correction is needed.
Good Luck

Version: 6 Date: 06 Jan 2024
Reviewer's report:
Overall, i strongly suggest the authors to use the "standard terms" and consult native editor to
revise this manuscript to make it easier to understand.
Introduction
- I advise the authors to add evidence from systematic review regarding immediate post-abortion
contraception, particularly the safety on contraceptive implants but still could not find any.
- lines 78-79: It should be abortion or termination of pregnancy rather than miscarriage and I
am not quite sure the ref. 9 intended to state like this.
- The introduction now lack of the purpose of the study. It should be stated at the end of the
introduction section.
Method
- the authors response that "Menopause refers to the number of days from the first day of your
last menstrual period to the day of intended abortion." I can not find this definition anywhere.
If this is a standard term published by some organization, please provide the reference. If not,
this term should not be used in this context.
- I asked about how the sample size was "calculated". The authors still do not provide anything
such as power for the sample size calculation. I am not quite sure whether this is a language
barrier or the authors did not calculate the sample size hence provided other information instead
of sample size calculation.
- "I suggest categorize contraceptive methods based on effectiveness according to WHO." does
not mean that you just put the reference here but
- "Very effective and effective methods are divided into Effective (0-9 pregnancies per 100
women) and Moderately Effective (10-19 pregnancies per 100 women) by their effectiveness as
commonly used" I think this is still a bit unclear, may be some grammatically error.
- What is the "in vitro sperm elimination"?
Result
- Table 2: Although corrected, why T-test was used since there were only percentages on the
table, not the continuous variable.
Discussion
- "early pregnancy drugs" should be removed.
- line 400; i still don't know the contraceptive method name "taking chance".
- "Please compare the effect of telemedicine on contraceptive use with other
studies, especially the studies conducted in postabortion or postpartum women during the
COVID-19 pandemic since this study was conducted during the same period." the authors did
not response to this comment.
- I suggest the authors to "ADD" THE STRENGHT and IMPLICATION for research and
practice but the response was "we have deleted it". This is the opposite way.
In summary, this is an interesting paper however a major revision, particularly due to the
language barrier, is truly really necessary. If the editor give an opportunity to revise this
manuscript again please consult the native speaker and response to "every comments" before
submitting .

Title: Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Breast Self-Examination is Associated with General
Self-Care and Cultural Factors: A Study from Tamil Nadu, India
Version: 2 Date: 28 Dec 2023
Reviewer's report:
Dear authors,
The manuscript is well-written.
However, in method section, some information is needed to further improve the quality of this
manuscript:
- Need to add information on the sample size calculation and the sampling method
- Need additional information on the SCI and the KAP questionnaire used in this study: are they
used in the original English language or translated to local language? If yes, need to explain the
translation process
- Need more information on the questionnaire on cultural factors: is this a validated
questionnaire? If yes, need more info on it. If not, how did the authors develop the items? The
reliability and validity?
Otherwise, this is a good manuscript.
Title: Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Breast Self-Examination is Associated with General
Self-Care and Cultural Factors: A Study from Tamil Nadu, India
Version: 2 Date: 04 Jan 2024
Reviewer's report:
Reviewer’s Comments
1. The authors have cited a good amount of literature in the introduction section. However,
the link between a few of the paragraphs is missing, along with the logical progression in
the literature. Besides, it would be appreciable if the authors could add some literature at the
beginning of the introduction section, highlighting the prevalence of breast cancer in Tamil
Nadu.
2. ‘The present study’ heading under the Introduction needs to be omitted, and the contents under
the heading need to be synthesised and merged with the Introduction section.
3. The authors need to add the justification behind choosing a particular research design for the
study.
4. In the result section, under Table 1, the respondents' age needs to be further categorised for
better clarification of the reader.
5. In Table 1, the authors have mixed the demographic and non-demographic variables. These
need to be separated and put on a different table.
6. In Table 2, for the Independent Sample t-test, the authors could have added other relevant
demographic variables along with the respondent’s marital status. The reader would get a
comprehensive understanding even if those variables did not have a significant association.
7. The correlation matrix presented needs further elaboration of the different ‘why’ factors.
8. In the Discussion section, the authors presented the findings well in light of the existing
literature. However, some of the literature presented in the Introduction section needs to be
discussed in the Discussion section, which is missing.
9. In the Acknowledgement, why were the study participants not acknowledged?
Overall, the manuscript is well-drafted, and the authors have referred to a wide range of
literature relevant to their study. However, there is a need for more clarity and detail in the
Result section. Also, the Discussion section of the manuscript, drafted based on it, needs to
be sharpened, particularly by bringing the relevant literature from the Introduction considering
different variables and relevant factors.
Title: Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Breast Self-Examination is Associated with General
Self-Care and Cultural Factors: A Study from Tamil Nadu, India
Version: 4 Date: 10 Feb 2024
Reviewer's report:
I would like to express my gratitude to the authors for conducting the study. However, I would
like to offer some recommendations to enhance the study:
1. Propose a modification to the title as follows: "Examining the Relationship between
Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice of Breast Self-Examination with General Self-Care and
Cultural Factors among Women in Tamil Nadu, India."
2. Clearly specify whether the questionnaire employed is a standard instrument or one developed
by the researcher. Additionally, provide more comprehensive information on the validity and
reliability of the questionnaire.
3. Extend the application of t-tests to all demographic variables, not just marital status, to ensure
a more comprehensive analysis.
4. Enhance the reporting in the results section by summarizing key findings without redundant
details, such as omitting information already present in tables. For instance, instead of stating
"mn age=26.63 years," let the table convey this information. When discussing educational
attainment, phrase it as "over half of the participants (56.31%) are graduates."
5. Exclude the mention of participants hailing from rural regions of Vellore, Tamil Nadu, in the
results interpretation.
6. In Table 2, improve the title, present percentages alongside frequencies (n%), and report mean
scores for self-care behaviors with standard deviations. Clearly state the statistical test used in
the footnote.
7. Refine Table 3 by combining mean and standard deviation into a single column for better
presentation. Summarize results in the text without redundant details, referring readers to the
table for values. Revise the table title and include the test used in the table footnote.
8. Consider eliminating Table 4 and instead provide a concise paragraph summarizing the most
critical findings.
9. In Table 5, report p-values and confidence intervals for each variable. In the results
interpretation, avoid redundant details, emphasizing only essential information such as odds
ratios, corresponding p-values, and confidence intervals. Reference the table for specific values.
10. Overall, streamline the interpretation of results by reducing unnecessary detail for a clearer
and more concise
Title: Comparison of Microbial Abundance and Diversity in Uterine and Peritoneal Fluid in
Infertile Patients with or without Endometriosis
Version: 0 Date: 27 Oct 2023
Reviewer's report:
1. This study is a commendable preliminary investigation, paving the way for more exhaustive
research.
2. The manuscript is largely readable; however, it necessitates grammatical corrections at several
junctures to enhance clarity and professionalism.
3. It would be more conventional to abbreviate Endometriosis as EM instead of EMs to maintain
consistency with standard abbreviations.
4. The introduction appears extensive and could benefit from being condensed to half its length,
focusing on the most critical aspects relevant to the study.
5. Similarly, the discussion should be streamlined to be succinct, clear, and to the point, shedding
light on the key findings and implications.
6. The rationale behind selecting TORI patients as the control group requires elucidation to
establish the comparative basis of the study.
7. A more detailed delineation of the Endometriosis stages would contribute to a better
understanding and categorization of the disease progression within the study.
8. Incorporating figures to explain the method and hypothesis would significantly enhance the
clarity and comprehension of the study's central message.
9. The discussion intimates a potentially stronger link between Uterine Fluid (UF) microbial
composition and infertility outcomes. This association should be brought to the forefront more
prominently to underline the study’s key findings.
Title: Comparison of Microbial Abundance and Diversity in Uterine and Peritoneal Fluid in
Infertile Patients with or without Endometriosis
Version: 3 Date: 27 Dec 2023
Reviewer's report:
I am satisfied with the revised manuscript as the authors have addressed my concerns.
I found a few  words where the authors have not used hyphenation--for example  "Endometriosis
related infertility" should be hyphenated.
I urge the authors to get the manuscript checked by an editor or a native speaker.
Title: Effect of dynamic neuromuscular stabilization training using the inertial load of water on
functional movement and postural sway in middle-aged women: a randomized controlled trial
Version: 3 Date: 25 Dec 2023
Reviewer's report:
Thanks for give me the possibility to review the current manuscript. In general, the topic of the
article is  interesting. I kindly ask the authors to pay attention to the comments.
Abstract:
• Line 33: correct parenthesis typo
• Line 36: it is recommended to include some more details about the exercise program (very
summarized).
Intro:
• It is recommended that the authors further investigate the effect of the menopause on the
population discussed in the intro.
• It is recommended to include information about the relationship of FMS and improvement of
fall risk, or other studies with the study population.
• What is the main objective of the study?
Materials and methods
• More detail on the sample of participants is recommended (eg:  level of physical activity prior
to participation in the study? any questionnaire to quantify it?
• Line 103: required bibliographic citation (Helsinki declaration)
• No warm-up was performed before the tests? Were they all performed at the same time and
under the same conditions? What was the exact time between tests?
• More detail and explanation of the process is required, especially with regard to the data
collection, since some of them are not detailed.
• What was the exact load of water used in the program in each device? What was the run rate?
Was the braking phase affected? A greater level of program detail is needed for this to be a valid
hypothesis test.
Statistical analysis
• What normality test was performed on the sample?
Results
• "Rotary stability did not show a statistically significant difference in either EXG or CON"
further explication is needed.
Discussion:
• If the hypothesis is to demonstrate the effect on the risk of falls, why has a specific test on this
parameter not been performed?
• "Rotary stability did not show a statistically significant difference in either EXG or CON"
Despite being one of the aspects addressed in the EG program, how do the authors explain the
non-significant difference in this aspect?
• Terms that do not recur in the text do not require acronyms.
Title: Evaluation of antihypertensive medications use and survival in patients with ovarian
cancer: a population-based retrospective cohort study
Version: 1 Date: 09 Nov 2023
Reviewer:  Paolo Contiero
Reviewer's report:
This is a very well written paper on an important topic such as the antihypertensive medications
use and survival in patients with ovarian cancer. The study seems very well planned, organised
and developed.  However some updates are mandatory.
The main flaw is the kind of proportional hazard model chosen to analyse to assess the
association under study.  Generally speaking Fine-Gray model primary interest is in the measure
of absolute risks of the event of interest and used for the purposes of prognosis and medical
decision-making, meanwhile cause specific models for event rates (e.g. Cox proportional cause-
specific hazards models) are to be preferred for answering aetiological research (see for example
the followings: 1-7). In this case I suggest the authors to use the second kind of models or at
least to explain the decision on the use of Fine-Gray model into the discussion.  The differences
in risk for serous histological type are intriguing and I suggest the authors to evaluate the chance
of including some considerations in the discussion. Some words ( ie histological type or ICDO3
codes)  on the “Other” histological kind have to be inserted in the Methods section.
