Appendiceal inversion secondary to endometriosis and dilated mucinous adenoma identified on screening colonoscopy.

Appendix intussusception (AI), with ~200 reported cases, is a rare condition in which the appendix invaginates into the cecum [1]. Etiologies include benign and malignant pathologies including both intraluminal and …

Peritoneal inclusion cyst following total laparoscopic hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy in a transgender man.

Peritoneal inclusion cysts (PICs) are benign cystic lesions typically observed in women of reproductive age with prior pelvic surgery, endometriosis, or pelvic inflammatory disease. To date, no cases of PICs …

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome: a case series of 4 patients with insights into diagnosis and treatment strategies.

Obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal anomaly syndrome was first identified by Purslow in 1922 as a result of abnormal embryologic development of the Müllerian (paramesonephric) and Wolffian (mesonephric) ducts. The …

Individualized fertility preservation counselling for women with endometriosis-a systematic review.

Endometriosis is a chronic disease that may require surgical intervention under certain circumstances. Although the condition itself is associated with impaired fertility in 30-50% of affected individuals, surgical treatment may …

Prostate-specific membrane antigen immunostaining in endometriosis: preliminary findings and a case of in vivo imaging with gallium-68 positron emission tomography/computed tomography.

Exploring the mechanisms of luteolin in treating polycystic ovary syndrome and endometriosis via network pharmacology, molecular docking, and molecular dynamics simulation.

This study aims to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying luteolin's therapeutic effects on polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis (EM), thereby providing a theoretical foundation for developing novel treatment strategies. …

Functional Impairment of Activated Regulatory T Cells as a Central Immunological Defect in Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is increasingly recognized as a disorder of impaired reproductive immune tolerance rather than solely an endocrine disease. Although previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the number of regulatory …

Pelargonium graveolens Essential Oil Suppresses Proliferation and Migration and Modulates Mesenchymal-Associated Cellular Functions in Human Endometriotic Cells.

Endometriosis is characterized by enhanced cellular proliferation, migration, and resistance to apoptosis, contributing to lesion persistence and progression. Targeting cellular plasticity and mesenchymal-associated functions may therefore represent a promising therapeutic …

LRP1 as a potential diagnostic and immunomodulatory target in endometriosis: evidence from multi-omics and single-cell analyses.

Endometriosis (EMS) is a common gynecological disease that seriously affects women's health and quality of life. However, the detailed dynamic cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying EMS pathogenesis remain largely unknown. …

Plasma proteomic signature of the human menstrual cycle.

The menstrual cycle is one of the most fundamental biological rhythms in human physiology, yet its systemic molecular changes remain poorly understood. Here we show that the menstrual cycle is …
