Rheumatic heart disease (RHD) remains the leading cause of acquired valvular heart disease in low- and middle-income countries, affecting an estimated 40 million individuals and disproportionately affecting children and young …
Background: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological conditions, and the gold standard for its diagnosis is laparoscopy. Cytokeratin fragment 21-1 (CYFRA 21-1) has emerged as a potential biomarker …
This study aimed to systematically assess the genetic comorbidity of endometriosis (EM) and its subtypes with menstrual-cycle-related traits, and to identify shared genetic mechanisms and key regulatory pathways underlying their …
The survival of ectopic endometrial lesions in endometriosis critically depends on their ability to evade immune recognition and clearance by the host, a process known as immune evasion. Recent studies …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects around 10% of women of reproductive age and is frequently associated with infertility. Despite its high prevalence in assisted reproductive technology (ART) …
The widespread use of plastic has led to exposure to chemicals like bisphenols (BPs), particularly bisphenol A (BPA), which are crucial in the production of polycarbonate plastics and epoxy resins. …
Endometriosis has been associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), but the underlying mechanisms remain incompletely understood.
Endometriosis is a prevalent estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that compromises women's quality of life and fertility through chronic pelvic pain, inflammation, and reproductive dysfunction. Current clinical management remains largely palliative, with …
Endometriosis (EMs) is an estrogen-dependent chronic inflammatory gynecological disease characterized by ectopic growth of endometrial tissues, leading to dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and infertility. Although the retrograde menstruation theory clarifies the …
Endometriosis and interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) frequently coexist in women with chronic pelvic pain, yet overlapping symptoms and non-standardized diagnostic pathways often delay recognition of dual pathology. We propose …
