The Phendo Project: How FemTech Is Advancing Endometriosis Research and Women's Health.

FemTech continues to evolve and advance despite persistent research and funding gaps. In this News and Perspectives article, JMIR Correspondent Jenny Castillo Cato reports on an innovative, cross-disciplinary research project …

Machine learning-integrated molecular subtyping reveals two biologically distinct endometriosis subtypes in the EndometDB database.

Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, with a diagnostic delay of 7-10 years. Despite clinical heterogeneity, current rASRM staging poorly predicts treatment outcomes. Molecular subtyping may reveal biologically meaningful …

Single-stapled versus double-stapled colorectal anastomosis after anterior resection: Systematic review and meta-analysis of short-term and functional outcomes.

The double-stapled anastomosis technique is widely considered the standard approach for colorectal anastomosis after anterior rectal resection. Recently, the single-stapled anastomosis technique has gained attention because it may reduce potential …

Transcriptome differences in lesions by color, and cancer mutations in endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a disease where cells similar to those of the uterine lining grow outside of the uterus, embedding into tissues and organs in the abdominal cavity, forming lesions and …

Spontaneous conception and successful live birth during hormone replacement therapy in a patient with iatrogenic premature ovarian insufficiency: a case report.

Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) is defined as loss of ovarian function before the age of 40 years. It has a profound impact on patients' quality of life, particularly due to …

The role of SYNE1/2 variants as a potential predisposition factor for the onset of endometriosis.

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic, inflammatory gynaecological disorder defined by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, most frequently affecting the ovaries, peritoneum, and uterosacral ligaments. Despite its …

Symptom Burden in Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) and Endometriosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

The objective of this study is to evaluate differences in patient-reported symptom outcomes among individuals with postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) stratified by the presence or absence of co-occurring endometriosis.

ATP-P2X3 Signaling as a Shared Neural Sensitization Pathway in Endometriosis and Irritable Bowel Syndrome: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications.

Endometriosis and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are chronic pain disorders that frequently coexist and share key pathophysiological features, including neuroinflammation, visceral hypersensitivity, peripheral sensitization, and central sensitization. Emerging evidence suggests …

Diagnostic Accuracy of the Kissing Ovaries Sign on Transvaginal Ultrasound for Prediction of Bowel Endometriosis in Women with Surgically Confirmed Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder. Non-invasive imaging markers that predict disease severity and bowel involvement are clinically valuable. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the diagnostic …
