Diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis (DTE) is considered rare, often presenting with non-specific cyclical thoracic symptoms. Diagnosis and surgical management remain challenging due to the need for cross-specialty expertise. This study …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by tumor-like growth behavior and limited therapeutic options. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota may contribute to EMs progression by promoting chronic …
Angiogenesis mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is essential for physiological vascular remodeling but also drives pathological processes, including tumor growth, ocular neovascularization, and inflammation. Emerging evidence has …
It is unknown to what degree surgical management of endometriosis occurs in outpatient ambulatory settings and what factors are associated with ambulatory versus inpatient surgical care.
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
This case-control study investigated whether ovarian endometriosis is associated with altered estrogen metabolism and gut or urogenital microbiota by analyzing enzyme activity, bacterial composition, and variations of estrogen metabolites in …
Unexplained infertility (UI) continues to pose a diagnostic challenge, affecting a considerable proportion of reproductive-aged women. Increasing evidence suggests that oxidative stress (OS) may contribute to impaired female reproductive function. …
To evaluate the safety, feasibility and imaging outcomes of percutaneous image-guided cryoablation as a minimally invasive treatment for umbilical endometriosis (UE).
Endometriosis (EMs) is characterized by ectopic lesions that disrupt endometrial decidualization, a process frequently accompanied by aberrant collagen deposition and closely linked to clinical infertility. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are key …
