The independent causal effects of interrelated lifestyle behaviors and psychological states on women's gynecologic and obstetric health remain incompletely understood. We conducted a comprehensive Mendelian randomization (MR) study to disentangle …
Angiogenesis mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is essential for physiological vascular remodeling but also drives pathological processes, including tumor growth, ocular neovascularization, and inflammation. Emerging evidence has …
The potential bidirectional causal relationship between endometriosis and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D has been previously investigated. Nevertheless, the results could be impacted by confounding factors and reverse causality because of the …
Massive abdominal wall defects resulting from radical abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) resection present a major reconstructive challenge. This study aims to assess feasibility and short-term safety of a standardized retromuscular-onlay …
Robot-assisted hysterectomy (RAH) has been progressively introduced in gynecologic surgery, yet nationwide data describing its uptake and early efficiency outcomes remain limited. We described trends in surgical route for hysterectomy …
This case report demonstrates the enhanced visualization capabilities of FAPI in visualizing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions compared to ultrasonography and MRI, suggesting its potential as a powerful diagnostic tool …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition, but intestinal involvement leading to bowel obstruction is rare, occurring in only 0.1-0.7% of cases. Diagnostic delay is frequent due to non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms.
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
The dynamics of peritoneal fluid has vital applications in various physiological functions, particularly in female reproductive physiology, which modulates the transport of gametes within the fallopian tubes. This research aims …
This case-control study investigated whether ovarian endometriosis is associated with altered estrogen metabolism and gut or urogenital microbiota by analyzing enzyme activity, bacterial composition, and variations of estrogen metabolites in …
