Endometriosis is characterised by the growth of abnormal endometrial tissue outside the uterus and chronic inflammation. Increasing evidence suggests that placenta extracellular vesicles (EVs) inhibit the growth and migration of …
To compare obstetric and neonatal outcomes between women with surgically confirmed deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and superficial endometriosis, focusing on lesion-specific risk profiles. This retrospective cohort study included women with …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants that interfere with hormone signalling and are increasingly linked to adverse reproductive outcomes. This viewpoint highlights emerging evidence that EDC exposure disrupts both …
Adenomyosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent disorder that may adversely affect reproductive health. Increasing evidence suggests that its reproductive and obstetric consequences may vary according to disease phenotype, including focal versus …
Background and Objectives: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) complicating placenta praevia is associated with increased maternal morbidity; however, neonatal respiratory burden may be underappreciated. We compared neonatal outcomes between pregnancies complicated …
Retained placenta (RP) is an obstetric complication associated with postpartum hemorrhage, sepsis, and maternal morbidity. While maternal body mass index (BMI) influences pregnancy outcomes, its associations with RP are unclear. …
The first trimester (FT) of pregnancy is characterized by rapid placental growth and differentiation, rendering this period sensitive to maternal metabolic influences. Maternal obesity is associated with chronic low-grade inflammation …
White adipose tissue is now recognized as an active endocrine organ that secretes numerous bioactive molecules known as adipokines. These proteins regulate essential physiological processes, including energy metabolism, inflammation, and …
Background/Objectives: This study assessed whether endometriosis is associated with an increased risk of placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) disorders and investigated if assisted reproductive technology (ART) further increases the risk in …
