Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent estrogen-dependent gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissue. Central to its pathophysiology, peritoneal CD14hi macrophages exhibit a pro-EMS phenotype and drive disease progression. …
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have accounted for only a fraction of its high heritability, indicating the …
Extra-pelvic endometriosis, defined as the presence of endometrial tissue or stroma outside of the pelvic cavity, is a rare cause of hemothorax and hemoperitoneum. Here, we present a case of …
Gynecologic postoperative adhesions (GPOA) remain an under-appreciated source of morbidity despite advances in minimally invasive surgery. Adhesions forming after myomectomy, extensive endometriosis excision, repeat caesarean section, or hysteroscopic adhesiolysis develop …
Neuropeptide S (NPS) is a potent agonist for the GPCR receptor NPSR1, implicated in various physiological and pathological processes, including inflammation. NPSR1 gene polymorphisms have been linked to asthma, inflammatory …
Endometriosis is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. COX (Cyclooxygenase) is upregulated in endometriotic lesions, potentially exaggerating pressor reflexes, a major risk factor for adverse cardiovascular events. The purpose of …
Endometriomas affect up to 44% of women with endometriosis and are associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced ovarian reserve. Diagnosis and management are clinically challenging, requiring a nuanced …
Current treatments for endometriosis are unsuitable for women who wish to conceive. To verify the supposed beneficial effects of Graptophyllum pictum (G. pictum) on reproductive diseases and inflammation, endometriosis was …
Background and Clinical Significance: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that can occasionally be associated with malignant transformation. The most common site of malignant transformation is the ovary, but there …
This study aimed to evaluate the clinicopathological features of ovarian seromucinous borderline tumors (SMBTs) and mucinous borderline tumors (MBTs) and to establish a diagnostic approach using immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Alcian …
