PEER REVIEWER COMMENTS:
GENERAL COMMENTS: The authors have partially responded to my earlier comments and
concerns.  Without due diligence, only selected questions were answered.  However, the revised
version of the manuscript includes changes that reflect their responses in the manuscript.
Two convenient hypotheses were included in Introduction.  Overall, the revised manuscript
is acceptable.  The data are old, but have focused on a relevant issue of acculturation among
Mexican women in the United States.    The mediation path analysis addresses the core scientific
question of what allows for the understanding of specific issues of acculturation processes,
contextual factors, and their impact on psychological distress in this population.
ADDITIONAL REQUESTS/SUGGESTIONS:
The manuscript reads much better, but the excessive number of sub-sections burdens its reading.
Otherwise, the manuscript can be considered technically sound.
Title: MAGNITUDE OF CESAREAN SECTION AND ITS ASSOCIATED FACTORS
AMONG MOTHERS WHO GAVE BIRTH IN PUBLIC HOSPITALS IN EAST WOLLEGA
ZONE, OROMIA, ETHIOPIA.
Version: 4 Date: 26 Apr 2023
Reviewer's report:
The manuscript aims to retrospectively investigate the factors contributing to the increase in
caesarean section rates in public hospitals in the East Wollega area, Oromia, Ethiopia. Overall,
women living in urban areas, who are engaged in university education or assisted in the prenatal
stages, are more likely to have a caesarean section.
The manuscript is in line with the aims of the journal and the conclusions are in accordance with
what was previously described by the authors.
Publication is recommended after careful re-evaluation of punctuation and symbols used (e.g.

Reviewer's report:
Dear Authors,
I appreciate your efforts and your work will have an impact on maternity care practice. My
suggestions and  comments are indicated in the manuscript with track change. The major gab
that I noted is the sampling determinations for both qualitative and qualitative methods are not
stated. The second gap is the English problem.  I advise you to check using a grammar checker.
Thank you.
Title: MAGNITUDE OF CESAREAN SECTION AND ITS ASSOCIATED FACTORS

ZONE, OROMIA, ETHIOPIA.
Version: 4 Date: 17 Jun 2024
Reviewer's report:
Comments given by the reviewer
1. Topic:  it is not innovative, there are studies conducted in the country.
2. Abstract: not include all components of it. The conclusion and recommendation are   not
clearly stated. The qualitative part of the study is not included in recommendation and conclusion
section.
3. Introduction:
Write your introduction based on your objectives. The referencing is not chronologically
ordered.
Example; 7 to 14 to 12 etc.‘’Globally, there has been an explosive rise in the rate of cesarean
section. The rate has doubled in the past 15 years from 21% to reach up to 40% in some countries
(14). Out of 6.2 million unnecessary Caesareans done each year; half occur in developed
countries like Brazil and china (12,15, 16). Another study in the United States revealed that
approximately 1.3 million women undergo a cesarean section every year (10). The ranges differ
from country to country, for example, a study conducted in  Pakistan implies that among 30.2%
of cesarean sections performed more than half were elective cesarean sections (17).’’
Method section: your source and study population are almost similar.” All women who gave
birth in selected public hospitals of the East Wollega Zone” Source population is a population
that you are intended to generalize. So, how it could be?
Your data collectors are not feasible.what is the importance of using midwives as data collector,
how you see professional bias??
Inclusion and exclusion criteria are not found
Since it is secondary data what is the importance of Pretest done out of study site??
4. Result part: It seems you are missing research rule of writing. The way of writing is lacking
maturity.
There is great redundancy issue between texts and figures. All tables, pie chart and text are
similar writings.
Example in table1 one, More than half of the mothers 219 (54.3%) were rural residents. But it
is found also in the table. Your table is much and more than one page, not smart.
The qualitative part of the research is not well addressed.
Discussion: it is not widely searched, it needs intensive work
5. Recommendation; there is no any recommendation seen in this document.
6. Your conclusion should be based on your objectives. Even the qualitative part of the research
is not found.
With kind regards
Title: MAGNITUDE OF CESAREAN SECTION AND ITS ASSOCIATED FACTORS
AMONG MOTHERS WHO GAVE BIRTH IN PUBLIC HOSPITALS IN EAST WOLLEGA
ZONE, OROMIA, ETHIOPIA.
Version: 6 Date: 04 Nov 2024
Reviewer's report:
Thanks to the authors for their effort and doing  research on very important issue. However, I
would like to give some comments.
The necessity of  objective 1 is not clear as already it is told that the magnitude of cesarean rate
varies from one place to another including Oromia region.
"In Ethiopia; the magnitude of the cesarean section rate ranges from one area to another. As
in  Southwest Ethiopia 32.5% [15], Northern Ethiopia 30.9% [16], Debre Tabor comprehensive
specialized hospital 39.1% [17], Addis Ababa 38.3% [18], Amhara 41.5% [19], and in the
Oromia region 33.1% [20]. The overall pooled prevalence of cesarean section rates in Ethiopia
was 29.55% [21]."
So why the authors need to know the magnitude of cesarean rate in Oromia region? For
answering this question authors need to  show the gaps of previous research and highlight that
gap in the current research.
The data collection was conducted by the professional mid wives but it requires the  confirmation
about non biasness in data collection.
In the result section, binary logistic result is not clearly described. Findings from qualitative
data only supports the result. But it requires more insights that why the respondents prefer this
service.
The identifiable factors for cesarean delivery are too generic and it shows no new findings.
Therefore, it requires the novelty of this study.
The discussion section only shares the similar types of findings which were conducted in other
parts of the world.  But there is no explanation about the similarities or differences
with previous findings.
Some other issues require attention of the authors.
- Too many uses of technical terms which are not reader friendly at all
- Too many uses of acronyms and many cases these are unnecessary such as FANC which is
used once.  Try to avoid using acronyms if these are not used frequently in the write up.
- Need to use same font and font size throughout the paper.
- Need a careful review by all the authors to keep the coherence.
Title: Barriers to PrEP use and adherence among adolescent girls and young women in Eastern,
Southern, and Western Africa: A scoping review
Version: 1 Date: 02 Jul 2024
Reviewer's report:
Dear Editor,
This is an excellent manuscript that summarizes the barriers to PrEP use among adolescent girls
and young women in Eastern, Southern, and Western Africa.
The methods used are clear and appropriate.
I only have one comment concerning the use of the term adherence versus PrEP continuation.
Since PrEP adherence and continuation are not necessarily the same, even though they are
complimentary, the authors may consider adding a paragraph in the discussion or background
to explain their operative meaning/assumptions with the use of these terms.
I commend the authors for putting together a great manuscript.
Kind regards,
Title: A New Subtype of Papillary Ductal Carcinoma in Situ with Tall Cell and Reversed
Polarity Morphology: A Rare Case Report
Version: 3 Date: 26 Dec 2023
Reviewer's report:
It is a very nice case with a challenging diagnosis. I would suggest to insert more images
from the lesion in distinct magnifications. SInce we suposely are reporting the first example
of a rare described entity, I believe that an extensive representation is important. People will
compare future cases with these photographic documentation. Also whe nthe authors describe
the  inverted pollarity Tall cell  carcinoma would be nice to have one very good image of the
tumor so it gets easier to someone see the similarity . Immunohistochemical diagnosis is also
something that must be cleared out so we can understand that the proposed variation of an given
entity shows a similar pattern to the original tumor. I could not be fully convinced by the current
representation that the lesion is in situ because a myoepithelial cell marker was not ilustrated
within the images.
The molecular evaluation seems to be compatible to the tall cell carcinoma but the manuscript
cites a particular mutation that was not found. is it a halmark ? I think it must be  stated that it
was searched along the evaluation and maybe a potential explanation of the results.
Title: A New Subtype of Papillary Ductal Carcinoma in Situ with Tall Cell and Reversed
Polarity Morphology: A Rare Case Report
Version: 3 Date: 03 Jan 2024
Reviewer's report:
The authors describe a case of ductal carcinoma in situ of the breast and propose that it is a
new subtype with morphological elements similar to the invasive variant of tall cell carcinoma
with reversed polarity (TCCRP). However, in the illustrations the aspect of inverted polarity
and the apical nuclei are not frequently seen, nor do they configure the solid papillary structures
commonly observed in the invasive variant. Furthermore, the mutation in IDH2 p.172 that is
present in the majority of invasive cases (about 84% of cases) was not demonstrated in the
present case report of DCIS. Therefore, I do not consider that the morphological and molecular
aspects described in the present case are similar to those observed in the majority of cases of
the invasive variant of TCCRP.
Title: A New Subtype of Papillary Ductal Carcinoma in Situ with Tall Cell and Reversed
Polarity Morphology: A Rare Case Report
Version: 4 Date: 18 Mar 2024
Reviewer's report:
I thank the authors for adding more images of the reported case. They also reported the presence
of other molecular alterations in the present case, different from those usually observed in
invasive variants, and which could be present in TCCRP. Although they did a very well-
conducted molecular study and better documented the morphology, I am not truly convinced
that the present case represents an in situ variant of tall cell carcinoma with
reversed polarity (TCCRP)

Probably - with minor revisions
PEER REVIEWER COMMENTS:
GENERAL COMMENTS: Overall, the study was well done. However, there are some points
that require attention.
REQUESTED REVISIONS:
1. I appreciate the fact that a previous article has been published using the same participants.
However, this article needs to stand on its own, without requiring the reader to track down and
read another article. With that in mind, some aspects of the study require greater elaboration.
2. I do not know what "exposure to traditional practice" means or why it is called "violence."
3. Why was the IWEVDS shortened from 31 items to 28. Which items were eliminated and why?
4. Why were women with anxiety or depression not included in the study? Since violence,
exclusion, and the like may lead to both anxiety and depression, would this not result in an
under-estimate of the prevalence and perhaps a misrepresentation of the risk factors?
5. I am not sure what an "accuracy estimate of 1.5" means.
6. The scale yields a continuous score. On what basis was it dichotomized to form abused and
non-abused groups? What cut-point was used, and how was it chosen? Since information is lost
when a continuous measure is dichotomized, why was abuse not treated as a continuous variable?
7. The average score of 43.89 is meaningless, because we are not provided with any norms. Is
this score high? low? average?
8. More information is needed about the logistic regression. We need some estimate of goodness
of fit, such as a pseudo-R^2. Also, Table 4 is reporting beta, not B (despite what SPSS says;
it's wrong).
9. For the most part, the language is fine, but there are some rough spots, such as "Fertility
problems affect man and woman ..." which should likely read "men and women".
ADDITIONAL REQUESTS/SUGGESTIONS:
Should be read by someone whose first language is English.

Title: Associations between health-related quality of life, infertility-related psychological well-
being, and relationship quality in individuals with endometriosis: A cross-sectional study
Version: 2 Date: 13 Nov 2024
Reviewer's report:
- The abstract provides a clear and effective summary of the manuscript.
- The introduction accurately describes the existing literature surrounding endometriosis and its
impact on QoL and psychological wellbeing whilst justifying the need for the current study’s
focus on infertility and relationship quality.
- The overall methodological strategy and statistical analysis are technically sound with all
claims supported by the experimental data, explained clearly, and discussed in relation to the
scope of previous literature.
- Regarding the finding that individuals with an unfulfilled wish for a child reported worse
HRQoL outcomes than those without, the discussion only proposed surgery as an alternative to
hormonal treatment (p.17). The fact that pain medication is a common symptom management
method should be considered, however it may be positioned in a way to argue that long term
reliance / potential side effects of chronic use may limit its appeal, contributing to suffering and
worse HRQoL for this population if they do not wish to proceed with any of these treatments
(as argued).
- The identification of the study's limitations and suggestions for future research are
comprehensive.
Title: Access and knowledge of contraceptives and unmet need for family planning in Pakistan
Version: 1 Date: 08 Feb 2024
Reviewer:  Mariyam Sarfraz
Reviewer's report:
The article effectively communicates the problem of UMNFP in Pakistan and its prevalence
in comparison to other countries. The study offers valuable insights into family planning in
Pakistan, and its clear methodology and policy-oriented conclusions make it a meaningful
contribution to the field. Addressing the suggested considerations could further enhance the
study's completeness and impact.

PEER REVIEWER COMMENTS:
GENERAL COMMENTS: The authors have responded in full to the requests of the previous
referees and I agree that the paper is methodologically ready for publication. It is a thorough
study that has been well conducted. While the findings are not exactly new, they are important
in demonstrating what needs to be done to address these key issues. The techniques used and the
dataset chosen are appropriate, although somewhat dated now. However, it needs a thorough edit
as many grammatical errors and typos remain, including in the new sections that they had added.

Title: A FSH-secreting pituitary adenoma discovered after ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome:
a case report, illustrating pitfalls in the interpretation of serum FSH levels
Version: 0 Date: 02 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
Dear Author,
Thank you for the opportunity to review the manuscript entitled “A FSH-secreting pituitary
adenoma discovered after ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome: a case report, illustrating pitfalls
in the interpretation of serum FSH levels.”
Comments:
1- Page no 1 you measured hCG? Or LH? please re write abstract to be clearer about the story
(add the final dx)
2- Add photo of US or MRI post treatment (mandatory)
3- Add picture of the histopathology for proof and to complete the case report (mandatory)
4- Add brain MRI after surgery
Title: A FSH-secreting pituitary adenoma discovered after ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome:
a case report, illustrating pitfalls in the interpretation of serum FSH levels
Version: 0 Date: 12 Sep 2024
Reviewer's report:
This case report of spontaneous OHSS highlights the diagnostic challenges faced by the medical
team. However, you mentioned that the delay in diagnosis was attributed to a "normal FSH in
the presence of elevated estradiol (E2)," which was not considered indicative of a FSH-secreting
pituitary adenoma. Furthermore, you stated that the initial diagnosis of ovarian neoplasm was
suggested, which appears to have been an mistake. Fortunatly the diagnosis was revised in time
avoiding abdominal surgery
In fact, cases of spontaneous OHSS due to FSH-secreting pituitary adenomas have been
previously reported. In most of these cases, including those by Silicia (2006), Garmes 2012,
Cote (2016), and Osamu Wada-Hiraike (2019), Asegawa 2021,  normal or slightly elevated
FSH levels were observed, as was the case in your report.Additionally,  Asegawa  (2021) have
done  literature review also highlighted cases where abdominal surgery was performed due to
misdiagnosis or complications of the OHSS as adnexal torsion.
Therefore, you should reconsider and modify your abstract and discussion sections, referencing
these prior reports to underscore that such clinical presentations should prompt investigation
for a pituitary adenoma as a primary consideration. in addition, You should mention the usual
complications of OHSS as adnexal torsion
Additionally, it would be valuable to include commentary on the hormonal outcomes after
surgery, as well as clinical follow-up data. For example, did the patient experience a return to
natural menstrual cycles or achieve spontaneous pregnancy?
