Endometriosis is characterized by inflammation and fibrosis, in which cytokines and cytokine-macrophage interactions serve as critical mediators. However, the specific mechanisms that initiate the fibrotic cascade in endometriosis remain poorly …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder marked by ectopic lesions, chronic pelvic inflammation, and frequent recurrence. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) is a non-invasive modality with anti-inflammatory and regenerative potential, …
Uterine artery embolization (UAE) is a minimally invasive therapeutic option for adenomyosis (AM). However, its clinical effectiveness in patients with comorbid gynecologic disorders remains unclear. This study aimed to evaluate …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease affecting approximately 10% of women of reproductive age worldwide, causing debilitating pelvic pain, infertility, and substantially impaired quality of life. Conventional hormonal …
The female reproductive system is a hormonally driven, immune-active, and structurally dynamic system in which estrogen signaling, inflammation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling interact to support essential reproductive processes. Cyclical …
Identification and preservation of pelvic autonomic nerves is essential for preventing postoperative functional disorders during surgery for deep endometriosis (DE); however, nerve-sparing surgery in patients with severe fibrosis and cul-de-sac …
Endometriosis is one of the most common causes of chronic pelvic or lower-abdominal pain, yet mechanisms, predictors, and patient-centered treatment pathways remain insufficiently defined. This article summarizes the situation in …
Endometriosis is a chronic, heterogenous disorder in which cyclical hemorrhage and repetitive repair generate ectopic implants that persist, recur, and drive pain and infertility; conventional frameworks emphasizing hormonal aberration and …
Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains the leading cause of acquired valvular heart disease in low- and middle-income countries, affecting an estimated 40 million individuals and disproportionately affecting children and young …
Endometriosis is a multifactorial, chronic inflammatory disorder that affects a substantial proportion of women during their reproductive years and is frequently associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Accumulating evidence suggests …
