Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a diverse, comprehensive group of mostly synthetic chemicals that disrupt many physiological functions in humans and animals. EDCs are particularly disruptive to the female reproductive system. …
Association Between Transvaginal Ultrasound Measurement of Endometrial Thickness With Serum Estrogen Level in Post-menopausal Women in a Tertiary Care Centre Cureus
Endometriosis is a pathological condition characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial cells, leading to chronic pelvic pain and infertility. Epidemiological studies have associated exposure to dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), …
Endometriosis is a prevalent, estrogen-dependent, inflammatory disease that impairs fertility via hormonal dysregulation, immune dysfunction, oxidative stress/ferroptosis, genetic and epigenetic alterations, and microbiome imbalance. We summarize multi-omics insights and clinical …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease with heterogeneous clinical manifestations and uncertain systemic immune involvement. This study aimed to characterize peripheral immune profiles and circulating tumor markers in women …
Deep infiltrative endometriosis (DIE) is characterized by the infiltration of endometrial tissue into the pelvic organs, such as the rectovaginal septum, utero-ovarian, and uterosacral ligaments. Bowel involvement occurs in approximately …
Adenomyosis is an estrogen-dependent disease featuring chronic inflammation. This study was undertaken to investigate whether the vagal tone is reduced in patients with adenomyosis as compared with healthy women. We …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease commonly affecting pelvic organs. Lymph node involvement is rare and even more so when leading to herniation. We report a rare case of a …
Previous studies show that orphan nuclear receptor 4A1 (NR4A1) regulated endometriotic cell growth, survival, estrogen receptor β (ERβ), mTOR signaling and fibrosis. NR4A2 is also expressed in epithelial and stromal …
The menstrual cycle induces a wide range of physiological changes in the skin and its appendages, often overlooked in dermatologic practice. Catamenial dermatoses, influenced by hormonal fluctuations, present with cyclical …
