Pelvic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a pivotal role in evaluating gynecologic diseases, offering superior soft-tissue characterization, multiplanar imaging, and functional assessment compared to ultrasound and computed tomography. This article …
Background and Objective: The ultrasound sliding sign dynamically assesses pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in suspected endometriosis. Transvaginal (TVS) and transrectal (TRS) ultrasound are used in patients with and without …
Pelvic neuropathy is an under-recognised contributor to chronic pelvic pain in women, yet a structured overview of its identifiable causes has been lacking. In this narrative review we searched PubMed, …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory, estrogen‑dependent benign gynecological disorder. A subset of patients with EM may subsequently develop endometriosis‑associated ovarian cancer (EAOC), implying a biological continuum between these two …
This systematic review aimed to explore the application and effectiveness of transperineal ultrasound as a diagnostic tool for evaluating pelvic floor musculature (PFM) dysfunction in patients with chronic pelvic pain …
The WHO 'Guideline for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of infertility' heralds a significant global shift towards recognizing infertility as a medical condition requiring prevention, diagnosis, treatment and policy support. …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a prevalent gynecological disorder. Ferroptosis, known as a novel type of programmed cell death, contributes to EMs pathogenesis by promoting ectopic endometrial migration. This study was designed …
Uterine leiomyomas are common benign neoplasms, but atypical presentations such as extensive cystic degeneration are rare and can pose significant diagnostic challenges. When pedunculated and predominantly cystic, these tumors can …
Background: Cerebral endometriosis is an exceptionally rare manifestation of extrapelvic endometriosis and remains a diagnostic challenge because its clinical and imaging features may mimic more common neurological, inflammatory, vascular, or …
β-Glucuronidase (β-G, EC 3.2.1.31) reverses phase II glucuronidation, and microbial β-G at the gut-liver interface reactivates biliary and circulating conjugates, closing enterohepatic loops for drugs, estrogens, bile acids, and bilirubin. …
