Endometriosis, a prevalent gynecological condition affecting 10-15% of reproductive-age women, involves the growth of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. This chronic inflammatory disease can significantly impact fertility by disrupting …
There is a growing need to develop new MRI sequences to identify and characterize hemorrhagic foci within endometriosis lesions. These foci are pivotal, as they represent a significant component of …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a benign condition affecting up to 10% of women at reproductive age. The urinary tract is affected in 0.3-12.0% of women with endometriosis and in 19.0-53.0% of …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissues (glands and stroma) located outside the uterine cavity. The pathophysiology of this condition remains incompletely understood. Local …
Raising the temperature of abdominal wall endometriosis lesions contributes to an effective ablation; however, providing sufficient protection to the surrounding tissues remains a challenge. In this study, we aimed to …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease that affects 1 in 10 reproductive-aged women. Most studies investigate established disease; however, the initiation and early events in endometriotic lesion development remain poorly …
This manuscript presents a case of a 35-year-old nulligravida premenopausal woman who presented with acute abdominal pain due to pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS). PCS is characterized by multiple pathophysiological mechanisms …
In endometriosis, the tissues similar to the endometrial tissue attaches outside the uterine cavity, causing inflammation and fibrosis. The retrograde menstruation theory is the most plausible mechanism, though the detailed …
Endometriosis is a debilitating and painful gynecological inflammatory disease affecting up to 15% of women and transgender men. Current treatments are ineffective for a substantial proportion of patients, underscoring the …
This study aimed to evaluate the concentration of osteopontin in peritoneal fluid and plasma as potential biomarkers for diagnosing endometriosis. Osteopontin levels were measured using surface plasmon resonance imaging (SPRI) …
