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 …
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 …
Various studies have reported aberrant function of the immune system in endometriosis. This highly prevalent disease can initiate and progress by numerous genetic and epigenetic alterations that affect immune system …
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. …
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous inflammatory condition that may influence long-term metabolic health. Prior studies have reported largely null associations with type 2 diabetes, potentially missing subtype-specific and subgroup heterogeneity. We …
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 …
Abdominal wall endometriosis most commonly occurs in cesarean section (CS) scars. Although malignant transformation is rare, clear cell carcinoma (CCC) is the most commonly reported histological subtype. We present an …
Endometriosis (EMS) is characterised by a disrupted peritoneal immune microenvironment where M2 macrophage polarization and impaired phagocytosis promote lesion survival. Single-cell RNA-seq (ScRNAseq) of the peritoneal macrophages from EMS patient …
This case report examines the association between autoimmune thyroid disease, more commonly known as Graves' disease, and endometriosis with a focus on the complication of an endometrioma rupture. The interplay …
