Background: Ovarian cystectomy is standard treatment for endometrioma but is associated with decreased ovarian reserve. Catheter-directed sclerotherapy (CDS) is an ovary-sparing image-guided alternative; however, supporting evidence comprises retrospective comparative and …
Ovarian cancer was the eighth most frequently diagnosed cancer among women in 2022. The global age-standardized incidence rate of ovarian cancer decreased from 7.22/100,000 to 6.71/100,000 from 1990 to 2021. …
Evidence increasingly shows small nerve fibre pathology in subsets of people with fibromyalgia through skin biopsy, corneal confocal microscopy, and microneurography. However, blood-based biomarkers of ongoing neuronal damage, particularly neurofilament …
This study aimed to identify adolescent-specific risk factors for endometriosis onset and postoperative recurrence to facilitate early identification and risk stratification.
Adult stem cells are thought to drive the regenerative potential of the endometrium and contribute to the pathogenesis of endometriosis, however, their identity and defining features remain to be characterized. …
Early diagnosis of endometriosis is crucial, yet limited literature exists on factors influencing women's decisions to seek diagnosis. This study explores the role of symptoms, health beliefs, and social influences …
Precision medicine applications depend on elucidating the underlying molecular mechanisms of disease. However, many disorders, such as endometriosis, remain poorly characterised genetically due to data scarcity, positive-unlabelled (PU) imbalance, and …
Deep endometriosis (DE) with intestinal involvement occurs in up to 16% of patients with endometriosis, representing one of the most challenging manifestations of the disease.
Whether endometriosis is a progressive disease remains debated. Central to this debate is understanding the natural history of endometriotic lesions, which are essentially wounds undergoing repeated tissue injury and repair. …
