Aim: The aim of the study was to synthesize validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with endometriosis and to outline their clinical …
Endometriosis-associated pain has debilitating effects on the quality of life of patients. Despite its high prevalence in reproductive-aged women, the pathophysiology is still unknown, impeding the development of targeted treatment …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecologic disease of reproductive-age women, causing menstrual pain and infertility. Endocrine and inflammatory mechanisms drive its development, with estrogen/progesterone imbalance contributing to extrauterine implantation and persistence …
Regulated cell death (RCD) is a fundamental biological process essential for tissue homeostasis and disease regulation. Increasing evidence has demonstrated that RCD plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of …
Endometriosis is a complex and challenging medical condition characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. MRI plays a crucial role in characterizing lesions and assessing disease. Radiologists must be …
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium, mainly within the peritoneal cavity, and is associated with the development of inflammation due to cyclic endometrial alterations. The …
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is vital for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis. Auto-antibodies against GAD deplete GAD levels and subsequently GABA, resulting in a hyper-excitatory state. A 41-year-old woman with anti-GAD …
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynaecological disorder characterized by estrogen-dependent lesions. Pain-particularly dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia-is the hallmark symptom of endometriosis. While pain mechanisms remain poorly understood, mast cells …
This study investigates the role of allograft inflammatory factor 1 (AIF-1) in regulating the proliferation, invasion, and migration of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) in the context of endometriosis, focusing on …
Endometriosis and uterine fibroids are estrogen-dependent gynecological disorders with an increasing burden to women's health worldwide. Despite overlapping symptoms and long-term consequences, the magnitude of their co-occurrence remains unclear.
