The identification of the appendix often presents a diagnostic challenge due to its significant anatomical variability, compounded by the frequency with which appendiceal pathologies manifest as atypical clinical presentations that …
Subepithelial lesions (SELs) in the lower gastrointestinal tract are rare, and diagnosis and treatment of colorectal SELs are often challenging. Although endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) is useful for minimally …
The research by Chen et al. (2024) presents an innovative hypothesis linking creatine metabolism to ferroptosis resistance in endometriotic stromal cells via PrP suppression. While conceptually valuable, methodological aspects warrant …
Bowel involvement is a severe manifestation of deep endometriosis that affects approximately 8-12% of women with endometriosis. Bowel endometriosis is most commonly localised in the rectosigmoid colon and frequently coexists …
Background: Endometriosis and lipedema are chronic female-predominant disorders characterized by persistent pain that is frequently disproportionate to anatomical lesion burden. Although traditionally interpreted within distinct lesion-centered frameworks, both conditions exhibit …
Background: The surgical management of chronic pelvic pain (CPP), particularly in endometriosis, often focuses on lesion excision or nerve decompression. However, persistent pain frequently occurs despite "anatomical perfection," suggesting central …
Natural therapeutic alternatives are increasingly explored in endometriosis, a highly prevalent gynecological disorder with limited therapeutic options. Rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) has attracted increasing scientific interest due to its biological activity. …
This review aims to evaluate the potential of endometriosis models, especially patient-derived iPSC models, to gain deeper insights into the disease, thereby advancing our understanding and treatment of endometriosis. This …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that may be influenced by bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical commonly found in food-contact plastics. BPA has been implicated in altered steroidogenesis, immune …
This paper provides a systematic review of the current applications of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in the imaging of pelvic floor-related anatomical structures and the assessment of microscopic pathological changes.
