Title: Prevalence and risk of developing sexual dysfunction in women with multiple sclerosis
(MS): a systematic review and meta-analysis
Version: 1 Date: 08 Apr 2023
Reviewer's report:
Thank you for the opportunity to review the article titled: Prevalence and risk of developing
sexual dysfunction in women with multiple sclerosis (MS): a systematic review and meta-
analysis.In this study, the authors have estimate the pooled prevalence of sexual dysfunction
(SD) in women with multiple sclerosis (MS).
I think this paper still needs some adjustments and corrections that I have mentioned below.
Specific comments
1. Introduction
In general the introduction was very short please add more (minimum 2 pages )to explore in
detailed the important medical problem ,the point that you can make more focus on :
• Nature of sexual dysfunction in MS
• The effect of MS on quality of life
• I prefer you omit “and infertility issues(3).” and instead concentrate on sexual dysfunction
• Common age of disease occurance and its relation to starting sexual life
• Is there any difficulties in discussing sexual issues in  certain communities
2. Discussion
in general the discussion is very short need to add more comprehensive details
the following points can help you
• in the 1st papragraph the author report “The pooled prevalence of SD estimated as 61% and
we found that the most common SD complaint was reduced libido (the pooled prevalence 48%),
we also found that the pooled prevalence of intercourse satisfaction was 27%.” There is a big
difference between others research .what is your explanation
• “bladder dysfunction in MS cases which negatively affects their sexual activity” what is the
author explanation ?please mention
What are the limitations the author found?

Reviewer's report:
Dear colleagues
Thank you very much for diverting this article to me for peer reviewing. I will skip my notes
on grammatical and organizational architecture  of the article to my other colleagues. Indeed, I
have some conservative points to the way in which methods and discussion were written.
Yet, I will give my analysis to the statistical approach conducted by the author.
I have recalculated all the odd ration for the various parameters or variables taken in this study
and were found to be true and goes in agreement with conclusion reached by the author. The
choice of type of metanalysis and the author's interpretation of them are all correct. Accordingly,
I have no objections to the results and conclusions obtained by the author. Yet, I prefer that the
author review his method in more clarified way.

(MS): a systematic review and meta-analysis
Version: 4 Date: 04 May 2023
Reviewer's report:
Dear colleague
I think there is some misunderstanding between my point of objection and the author response.
He/ they stated that the article or method was reviewed by a linguistics expert?
I said that my point of objection in my notes in objections are not related to the linguistics aspects
of the paper. Rather to the organization of the methods section.
This is clearly shown by other reviewer point of view. There is some objection from over other
reviewer over detailed and confusing discussion about the collecting strategy of the author in
his study. Yet, Given the fact that this point has been also re objected by my colleague reviewer
is far enough to me to explain my points of view. The method section should be revised from
organizational point of view into more abbreviated form. . Accordingly, I will say no more
objections than my colleagues did. So, the final opinion for accepting this article will be left to
my colleagues reviewer opinion as I have no further notes to add.
Title: A Systematic Review of the Relationship between Normal Range of serum thyroid-
stimulating hormone and bone mineral density in the postmenopausal women
Version: 2 Date: 23 Feb 2021
Reviewer's report:
The author needs to be very clear about  the reason why only pubmed and cochrane data base
rest all the databases were chinese. The exclusion criteria was reviews. however there is mention
of search of cochrane trial registry. The CONSORT diagram is incomplete. it would be good if
the authors follow PRISMA reporting guidelines of a systematic review.
Analysis is appropriate  for the article retrieved

stimulating hormone and bone mineral density in the postmenopausal women
Version: 2 Date: 08 Jul 2021
Reviewer's report:
The systematic review includes meta-analyses, which are performed with articles written either
in English or Chinese. I don't feel it is appropriate for meta-analyses, since there may be
uninterpretable issues. I understand the unmet need of region regarding osteoporosis, however,
since the readers of our journal would be not limited to China, slight modification in introduction
is recommended.

Reviewer's report:
Greetings to dear authors! I was glad to read your publication.
Your job is very important in treating osteoporosis.
I have a question on the "Total" line in Tables 4 and 5. How did you make the calculation? I did
not understand what you meant by giving this line.

sound? If not, can revisions be made to make the work technically sound?
Maybe - with major revisions
PEER REVIEWER COMMENTS:
GENERAL COMMENTS: This is a metanalysis investigating the relationship with normal
range TSH and osteoporosis in postmenopausal patients. The authors found out that a TSH level
> 2.5 was helpful to decrease the risk of osteoporosis in these patients.
I congratulate the authors for their study. My comments include:
1. The abstract is too long and would need to be shortened to provide the most pertinent details
of the study.
2. The Introduction and Discussion are fragmented and disconnected. I suggest a more succinct
and shorter version of these sections to be done.
3. The authors have done a great job in analyzing data and presenting their results with nicely
done graphs.
4. Each section in Results should be shortened.
5. My main recommendation is to shorten the manuscript in general, especially the introduction
and Discussion.  They should develop a “story” rather than stating “disconnected” facts in both
of these sections.
6. The English language and grammar of the manuscript need to be improved.  There are many
grammatical errors throughout the manuscript.
The authors have done a tremendous job in analyzing data and presenting a good take home
message. However, the English language/grammar needs to be improved, manuscript shortened,
and disconnected text unified and organized.

PEER REVIEWER COMMENTS:
GENERAL COMMENTS: The authors have done a great job in shortening the manuscript,
developing a "story" rather than presenting fragmented pieces of information,  being really
succinct and also improving the language of the manuscript.  My only new recommendation is
related to a few places in the manuscript where inappropriate capitalization has been made. for
instance, the last sentence of Background/Introduction and "Subgroup" in Discussion.
ADDITIONAL REQUESTS/SUGGESTIONS:
They should just proof -read the article one more time to identify grammatical errors, mostly
related to inappropriate capitalization of words.
Title: Improving Care Seeking Behaviour Toward Cervical Cancer Screening Participation
Among Gwafan Community Women, North-Central Nigeria
Version: 3 Date: 20 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Miresa Midaksa
Reviewer's report:
Authors found care seeking behavior intervention was associated with cervical cancer screening
participation. It is worth to publish in BMC women health. But relevant issues need to be
elucidated before final acceptance.
1. Introduction
• Line 49-51: - The global prevalence of cervical cancer mentioned was not the recent data; So,
it is better to use up to date reference data.
2. Method
• Important points under method missed need to be incorporated: -
• Study setting
• Sampling procedures
• Data collection procedures and measurements
•  Line 115-116: - Thematic analysis was used for qualitative data while SPSS for the quantitative
data analysis. Is SPSS strong enough for quantitative analysis than STATA?
3. Result and Discussion
• Line 125, line 129,line 216....Tables throughout the documents should be complete:- Time and
place of the events occurred should be included.
• Line 129-130: - There was frequency distribution of annual income in Naira stated in
demographic characteristics without associating with screening habit; but the income variable
was discussed relating with screening habit in discussion part in line 224-225.
4. Conclusion
• Findings/variables/ concluded in the conclusion part should be stated in result and discussion
part;
• Line 268-271: - Screening in this community was low resulting from fears, embarrassment,
cultural norms, dissatisfaction with past experience from other screening services, negative
belief and expectations, and low socioeconomic status even though the participants resident near
the screening center
• Line 272-273: - Screening participation among older women was higher compared to younger
participants.

Among Gwafan Community Women, North-Central Nigeria
Version: 3 Date: 21 Jan 2023
Reviewer:  Tullio Golia D'auge
Reviewer's report:
I read with great interest the Manuscript titled "Improving the Care Seeking Behaviour Toward
Cervical Cancer Screening Participation Among Gwafan Community Women, North- Central,
Nigeria" which falls within the aim of the Journal.
In my honest opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention.
Nevertheless, authors should clarify some point and improve the discussion citing relevant and
novel key articles about the topic.
- The whole text should be corrected by a native English speaker in order to make the work
clearer and more readable.
-Typos errors should be corrected.
-The introduction should be improved and completed. I find interesting a reference to PMID:
35455328; 35742340).
-Inclusion/exclusion criteria should be better clarified by extending their description.
- The authors have not adequately highlighted the strengths and limitations of their study. I
suggest better specifying these points.
- I also suggest authors to not repeat some concepts more than once and to better organize
the discussion section following this ideal structure: main findings of the study, strength and
limitations of the study, implications and comparison with literature, future directions.
- Discussions can be expanded and improved by citing relevant articles (I suggest authors to
read and insert in references the following article PMID: 36141917; 35909005; 33514481).
-References should be revised in accordance to author's guidelines.
Considered all these points, I think it could be of interest for the readers and, in my opinion, it
deserves the priority to be published after major revisions.

Version: 3 Date: 05 Feb 2023
Reviewer:  Oscar Tapera
Reviewer's report:
Congratulation on your manuscript which will contribute to science and programme
improvements for cervical cancer programmes. However, the paper needs some signicant
revisions to improve its quality and see my comments below:
Major comments
1. Authors should expand the Method section to include
-  Description and rationale of the methods they used for  Pragmatic Multiphase Mixed Methods
Design, HCD and thematic analysis
- Statistical analyses used should be described and justified and I would suggest the authors to
consider inferential statistics i.e logistic regression to investigate factors associated with uptake
of cervical cancer etc
2. Authors should include the results from the thematic analysis i.e themes obtained and support
these with quotes before triangulating with quant. analysis
Minor comments
1. Consistency in using  in-text referencing and adopting journal recommended style
2. Language revision including punctuation to aid better flow of the manuscript for the entire

Title: Cases of Yolk sac tumor associated with gynecological malignant tumor
Version: 1 Date: 20 May 2023
Reviewer:  Giuseppe Gullo
Reviewer's report:
Dear authors,
I read with great interest the manuscript, which falls within the aim of this Journal. In my honest
opinion, the topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention. Nevertheless, authors
should clarify some points and improve the discussion, as suggested below. Authors should
consider the following recommendations:
Usually in case of early diagnosis of malignancies a fertility sparing treatment is needed in these
pts and is hard suggested them to preserve, before surgical treatments, their fertility by an ovarian
stimulation  preserving their f vitrification system for future pregnancy.
I also suggest to the eventually updated therapy in case of advanced tumors.
I suggest  you to read and cite these papers:

Version: 1 Date: 22 May 2023
Reviewer's report:
In my opinion, the analyzed topic is interesting enough to attract the readers’ attention. The goal
of this  article was to present one case of endometrioid carcinoma and clear cell carcinoma with
YST components and two other cases of YSTs associated with high-grade serous carcinoma of
the ovary . I think that the abstract of this article is well organized and clear.
In my opinion, the discussion could be studied in depth and extended. Maybe, it could be
useful the assesment of patient's comorbilities in orderd to optimize better the treatmen and the
management. In particular I suggest this article in order to get deeper in the topic:  The role of
preoperative frailty assessment in patients affected by gynecological cancer: a narrative review

of these reasons, the article should be revised and completed. Figures and tables are clear.
Considered all these points, I think it could be of interest for the readers and, in my opinion, it
deserves the priority to be published after minor revisions
