Plastics are ubiquitous in the environment and are widely used in food packaging, medicine, agriculture, construction and other sectors. However, the plasticizers they contain pose a substantial threat to environmental …
Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with infertility in up to half of those diagnosed. Despite decades of research, the molecular basis of its …
Endometriosis affects ∼10% of women of reproductive age. Emerging evidence suggests a link between endometriosis and systemic inflammation, potentially increasing the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), yet data on the …
Decidualized ovarian endometriomas are benign lesions that can closely mimic ovarian malignancy on ultrasound. Correctly identifying them is crucial to avoid unnecessary interventions and associated adverse fetal-maternal outcomes. A systematic …
Endometriosis, affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age, is more commonly found on the left side of the pelvis. This laterality phenomenon's etiology remains obscure. We reviewed the existing literature …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pelvic pain, infertility, repeated treatment, and impaired quality of life. Thyroid dysfunction and thyroid autoimmunity are also common in reproductive-aged women and …
Endometriosis (EMS) is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease affecting 10% of reproductive-age women, with up to 50% experiencing infertility. As primary care providers (PCPs) are often the first point of care, …
Gossypiboma, the unintentional retention of surgical materials, is a rare but significant postoperative complication. While most of the literature focuses on retained sponges, absorbable hemostatic agents such as Surgicel may …
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. …
Breast cancer metastasis to the liver carries a poor prognosis, and the identification of hypermetabolic hepatic or perihepatic lesions on 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) in a patient …
