Background: Endometriosis-associated ovarian cancers (EAOCs), including ovarian clear cell (OCCC) and endometrioid ovarian carcinoma (EnOC) subtypes, frequently exhibit transcriptomic dysregulation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling axis. While genomic aberrations are well-documented, …
Environmental microbiological monitoring is mandatory in IVF laboratories; however, procedure-specific risk assessment across the entire medically assisted reproduction workflow remains limited. This multicenter study, named "SMILE" (Study of Environmental Microbiological …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a heterogeneous condition in which visceral, musculoskeletal, neuropathic, and pain-processing contributors often overlap. Pelvic floor ultrasound can depict morphology and movement, but its CPP-specific evidence …
