Title: Vaginal Natural Orifice Transvaginal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) for Benign Ovarian
Cysts is Safe and Feasible in Same-Day Discharge: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Version: 2 Date: 06 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the manuscript, which falls within the aim of this Journal and offers
a high-quality overview of the topic.
The abstract satisfactorily summarizes the contents of the manuscript. The methodology is
accurate and the data analysis supports the conclusions. The tables and figures are clear and
interesting.
Although the manuscript can be considered already of high quality, I would suggest taking into
account the following minor recommendations:
- I suggest another language revision round to correct typos and improve readability.
- I find it interesting to reference the importance of the minimally-invasive approach for treating
adnexal lesions (see PMID: 35343352).
- What are the implications of these findings for clinical practice and/or further research? It is
important to report the results obtained by the authors in the context of clinical practice and to
adequately highlight what contribution this study adds to the existing literature on the topic and
future study perspectives.
- The authors have not adequately highlighted the strengths and limitations of their study. It
would be better to explain these points.
- Discussions can be expanded and improved by citing relevant articles (I suggest authors read
and insert in references the following article PMID: 37231836).

Cysts is Safe and Feasible in Same-Day Discharge: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Version: 3 Date: 23 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
Abstract
- The method section is too long; please delete redundant information.
Method:
- It should be clarified if the informed consent process described (patients being informed of
surgical risks and signing consent forms) is specific to this study or a general routine in the
hospital.
- The sentence "patients who underwent appendectomy or had malignancies confirmed by
postoperative pathology were excluded". Based on the retrospective nature of the study, is
incorrect.
- Clearly state the inclusion criteria: Who were included in this study?
- Transfer extra information reported in the statistical analysis section to the methods section.
Specifically, details on variables such as feeding time, time to get out of bed, bleeding
volume, hemoglobin difference, surgery duration, pelvic adhesion, age, BMI, whether the patient
underwent abdominal surgery, presence of bilateral ovarian cysts, and cyst count.
- The sentence "The pain scores are evaluated by the patients themselves, with a 0~10
VAS score. Covariates include exhaust time, feeding time, time to get out of bed, bleeding
volume, hemoglobin difference, surgery duration, pelvic adhesion, age, BMI, whether the patient
underwent abdominal surgery, presence of bilateral ovarian cysts, cyst count and cyst diameter.
- Please clarify in the tables what scales were reported: mean and SD, median, or frequencies
(percentages).

Title: Menopausal symptoms and utilization of menopausal hormone therapy among women
aged 40-60 years in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia: A cross-sectional study
Version: 1 Date: 04 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
Dear authors,
This study aimed to assess the prevalence of menopausal symptoms, identify factors associated
with it, and assess the use of menopausal hormone therapy among women aged 40-60 years .
1) I dont think it is necessary to put operational definition in a section of the paper. if it's needed,
better have it described in other paragraphs of methods.
2) please use updated references, within 10 years range is enough. (reference number 37 could
be changed to more updated references)
3) you can find other ways to present the data in figures and tables
4) the discussion need to be more elaborated not only by comparing the result in this paper with
previous studies.
5) This paper only showed the finding or result based on age group, but not showing specifically
with menopausal status. however,  the big pit of all the menopausal symptoms when the
menopause hit.
6) please state regarding the informed consent of the subjects
Title: A 2-year follow-up to a randomized controlled trial on resistance training in
postmenopausal women: vasomotor symptoms, quality of life and cardiovascular risk markers
Version: 4 Date: 13 May 2024
Reviewer:  Andrés F Loaiza-Betancur
Reviewer's report:
Dear authors
I congratulate you on your good job with this study.
Major comments
I only have a big deal with your manuscript. You are now reporting on an observational
prospective cohort study and are still using CONSORT instead of STROBE to ensure the
completeness of your reporting.
In that sense, the report of this observational study must be adapted to STROBE before it can
be published.
Please also review the text; there is a mix between British and American English. This text must
be consistent with the use of English.
Minor comments
Lines 206-207: There is a repeat word.
3) severe; the VMS is is experienced as a heat sensation and sweating that forces the woman to
stop her ongoing activity or causes awakening during sleep.

Title: Prevalence of stress urinary incontinence symptoms and their impact on the quality of life
of Palestinian women: The first large cross-sectional study among the general population
Version: 0 Date: 14 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
Dear author/authors
First of all, I can say that it is a good work. However, I had suggestions for correction in some
parts of your article. It would be good to organize it again.
Sincerely yours.
Title: Prevalence of stress urinary incontinence symptoms and their impact on the quality of life
of Palestinian women: The first large cross-sectional study among the general population
Version: 0 Date: 11 Aug 2024
Reviewer's report:
It is strongly recommended that authors use the Strobe checklist (https://www.strobe-
statement.org/checklists/)
Insert the measurement properties of the PRAFAB-Q and make clear in which language the
questionnaire was used (and its validity for this language)
Insert the acronym legend in the tables, for example: BMI
Replace "N" (sample number) with "n"
Make clear in Table 1 what "Diagnosed with stress incontinence" means. How was this diagnosis
made and what criteria were used?
In Table 1, 42 women were diagnosed with urinary incontinence. In Table 2, 104 reported urinary
loss. Explain this data. Also explain what the association between these two variables means
in Table 4.
Review the title of Table 2. And make clear how these items were evaluated.
Tables 1 and 3 could be shared
It is not necessary to repeat the correlation data in Tables 6 and 8. In fact, this data could be
omitted from the article, as it is not one of the objectives of the study.
It would be more appropriate for the authors to perform a regression analysis to identify the risk
factors. The Chi-Square test only shows us the association between the variables studied.

Reviewer's report:
All suggested alterations have been reviewed by the authors. The only question in this review
is about the variable "Place of residence" and "Place from where the women were recruited". It
is suggested to the authors to uncover the results of this variable and to discuss the data.
Title: Development of an Infertility Perception Scale for Women (IPS-W)
Version: 3 Date: 26 Nov 2023
Reviewer's report:
I found it very interesting.
Please make a few corrections.
1. Theme and scale name: What is the recognition of infertility? When you look at the term, is
it to acknowledge infertility? Is it to know infertility? I was confused.
Recognition is to feel and know a thing, to obtain information about a thing and acknowledge
it, to ascertain the location and details of an object.
The theme and purpose is recognition, yet in the last concurrence, there is an explanation of
negative recognition of infertility, which is inconsistent with the argument.
Looking at the items in Table 2, we understood that they are not perceptions, but rather negative
feelings of individuals.
We recommend changing the theme, scale name, and purpose to negative feelings of infertility
in infertile patients.
2. Participants: The participants of the scale and development were married women between the
ages of 20 and 44 who had been diagnosed with infertility. However, in Table 1 the participants'
demographics show 66 (32.5) in the 40-49 age group and 2 (1.0) in the #50 age group.
3. Response rate: 212 people were recruited and 203 valid responses means that the valid
response rate is 95.8%. We have to assume that this high collection rate for a normal cross-
sectional survey was powered by something. Please explain the reason for the high valid
response rate and specify what data collection method was used.
 
4. Table 2: Factor loading should include all values.
5. Necessity of confirmatory factor analysis: Although this is scale development, only
exploratory factor analysis and reliability analysis were conducted. A confirmatory factor
analysis is necessary for scale development. Please include the values of the goodness of fit index
(GFI), adjusted goodness of fit index (AGFI), comparative fit index (CFI), and root mean square
error (RMSEA) as the model fit of the scale. Path diagrams for confirmatory factor analysis are
also required.
Table 4 is less necessary for a scale development paper.
6. Discussion: What is this scale useful for in nursing? What exactly is the benefit of measuring
negative feelings of infertility for women? Please add these additions.
7. Ethics approval: Three studies have been reported for this study: an interview, a pilot study,
and a cross-sectional survey. However, there is only one ethics approval number. Why is it that
all three studies were approved in one ethics application? Please add the background of this
process.

This paper deals with a very interesting subject as infertility. The infertility causes many
problems, leading to stigmatization in many communities.

Title: Development of an Infertility Perception Scale for Women (IPS-W)
Version: 3 Date: 15 Jun 2024
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the present Manuscript which falls within the aim of the Journal. In my
honest opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention. Methodology is
accurate and conclusions are supported by the data analysis. Nevertheless, authors should clarify
some points and improve the discussion citing relevant and novel key articles about the topic.
For all those reasons, I suggested performing the minor revisions.
- Inclusion and exclusion criteria should be clarified in the Materials and Methods section:
in particular, Authors should explain whether they included articles in a language other than
English, abstract-only publications, and meta-analyses;
- In Discussion, analyze the influence of the social stigma and the potential bias derived from
poor reliability in answering the questions;
- Please discuss the accuracy of the results compared to the hypothesis of  a multicenter study;
- Authors may hypothesize whether the questionnaire should be supplemented for the
submission to other ethnic groups;
- Authors have not adequately highlighted the strength and limitations of the study. I suggest
better specifying those points.

Methodology is accurate and conclusions are supported by the data analysis. Nevertheless,
authors should clarify some point and improve the discussion citing relevant and novel key
articles about the topic.
Authors should consider the following recommendations:
- Manuscript should be further revised by a native English speaker
- The authors have not adequately highlighted the strengths and limitations of their study. I
suggest clarifying these points
- Does this manuscript conform the Enhancing the QUAlity and Transparency Of health
Research (EQUATOR) network guidelines? It would be mandatory to declare about this element
- Was this study registered? I could not find any information about this point
-   Infertility and poor reproductive outcomes are known to be potential predictors of early
menopause; I would spend at least a few lines discussing this topic ( Authors may refer to PMID:
38242686)

Version: 5 Date: 05 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for the first correction.
Essence of the scale:
It is very difficult to understand what this scale is measuring. Could you please revise it so that
readers can understand what a high overall score indicates?
Perceived feelings: Asks about anxiety and depression. This is a measurement of negative
feelings.
Personal stigma: Asks about failures and shame in life. Negative.
Social stigma: Asks about social stigma. Negative.
Acceptance: Asks about infertility being okay. Positive.
The negative and positive aspects of infertility are mixed.
It is unclear whether it is a negative or positive perception of infertility, so could you please
revise it so that readers can understand?
Table 1
Could you please correct the Mean and SD to one decimal place?
Table 2
Could you please add a caption at the bottom of the table explaining the factor extraction method
and rotation method?

The morphology is dominated by a teratoma component with polygonal differentiation and
prominent zones of heterogeneous spindle cells, which has a clear line between the two (Figure
3). Please write in past tense.
The teratoma component contains mature thyroid follicular structures (a variable amount of
eosinophilic colloids can be seen in the cavity, the follicular epithelium is a single layer of
low column or cubic form), and it accounts for >50% of tumors, and differentiated and mature
squamous epithelium and skin appendages (sebaceous gland and hair follicle structures) can
also be found#the spindle cell region is characterized by significant cellular heterogeneity,
deeply stained nuclei, and eosinophilic cytoplasm. Immunohistochemical results were CK (+),

Reviewer's report:
Thanks for your inviting me to review the manuscript.
This article lacks innovation and academic value.
As a case report and review of the literature, the researchers did not conduct a systematic search
for relevant content. Therefore, the content of the discussion is rather arbitrary, without rigorous
argumentation process.
