To evaluate intraobserver and interobserver agreement in the interpretation of subtle MRI findings classified as minimal endometriosis, to assess the impact of the Kappa paradox in low-prevalence compartments, and to …
Postoperative pain following laparoscopic surgery can delay recovery and increase opioid use. Lower insufflation pressures have been consistently shown to reduce pain in general surgery procedures, but their impact in …
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pain and immune dysregulation. Omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids and fish-derived bioactive lipids may modulate inflammation and metabolism. This study investigated …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue, progressive fibrosis and chronic pain, with a pathogenesis that goes beyond oestrogen dependence. The central question this review seeks …
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in women, yet sex-specific risk factors are usually not included in conventional predictive models. Specifically, heart failure (HF) in women may …
To evaluate central arterial stiffness, endothelial function, and circulating vascular biomarkers in women with ovarian endometriosis and to explore their associations compared with age-matched controls.
Postoperative recurrence remains a major obstacle to durable remission in patients with solid tumors, even after complete macroscopic resection. Growing evidence suggests that surgery creates a transient yet highly permissive …
Background/Objectives: Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, including abdominal pain, bloating, altered stool pattern, dyschezia, and nausea, are frequent in women with endometriosis and may persist despite conventional gynecological treatment. The low fermentable …
Background: Endometriosis and lipedema are chronic female-predominant disorders characterized by persistent pain that is frequently disproportionate to anatomical lesion burden. Although traditionally interpreted within distinct lesion-centered frameworks, both conditions exhibit …
Introduction. Endometriosis affects 10-20% of reproductive-age women. Emerging evidence links the gut microbiota to endometriosis pathogenesis, but observational studies are limited by confounding, reverse causation and uncertainty about whether reported …
