Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological disease affecting women's health, involves altered immune function. This study investigates the immune checkpoint protein, V-domain immunoglobulin suppressor of T cell activation (VISTA) as a therapeutic …
Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) often affects the bowel and may necessitate colorectal resection. While protective ileostomy can reduce complications, it carries relevant morbidity. This study evaluates endoscopic complication management and …
Precise staging of endometriosis remains a clinical challenge, as current diagnosis depends almost entirely on laparoscopic visualization-an invasive procedure marked by considerable inter-observer disagreement and diagnostic delays. Existing non-invasive approaches, …
The aim of our study is to investigate the percentage of ovarian cancer (OC) patients with concomitant endometriosis and its distribution across histological subtypes, and to assess whether the presence …
Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) represent a major preventable cause of medication-related harm globally. Their prevalence varies across health systems, but common drivers include polypharmacy, aging populations, and specialty-specific prescribing patterns. Large-scale …
Bowel endometriosis is often considered an indication for extensive surgical management, including colorectal resection, in women undergoing surgery for concomitant endometriosis at other sites. However, several contemporary studies show little …
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition linked to pelvic pain and infertility, is characterized by immune dysfunction involving dysregulated apoptosis and cell proliferation. This case-control study included 87 infertile women undergoing …
Mullerian anomalies are frequently associated with endometriosis, particularly in the presence of genital tract obstruction; however, the anatomical distribution and determinants of disease in this population remain incompletely characterized. Most …
Older adults are highly susceptible to adverse effects from potentially inappropriate medications (PIMs). Real-time clinical decision support systems (CDSS) may reduce unsafe prescribing; yet evidence from low- and middle-income countries …
Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is a severe complication of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), but it can also occur in women without prior PID or sexually transmitted infections. Recent studies suggest that …
