Preoperative assessment of the severity of pelvic adhesions in endometriosis remains challenging. Inflammation may drive adhesion formation, and the predictive value of the neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR, the ratio multiplied …
Mules (Equus mulus), as sterile hybrids between mares and donkeys, present a unique uterine morphology and physiology that remains poorly characterized. This study provides the first histomorphometric evaluation and transcriptional …
Estrogen receptor α (ESR1) is a pivotal regulator of endometrial homeostasis and reproductive function, yet the coregulators that fine tune its transcriptional activity remain incompletely defined. In this issue of …
Estrogen is a critical regulator of endometrial health. Aberrant estrogen stimulation can result in infertility, endometrial cancer, and endometriosis. Here, we identified Zinc Finger MIZ-Type Containing 1 (Zmiz1) as a …
Endometriosis often presents in adolescence as chronic pelvic pain (CPP) or dysmenorrhea. Research in adults demonstrates non-White race is associated with delayed surgical diagnosis of endometriosis; however, inequity in adolescents …
Some infertile women can undergo spontaneous conception after 4-dimensional hysterosalpingo-contrast sonography (4D-HyCoSy). However, advised period of expectant management after HyCoSy for different tubal patency was rarely recorded. This study aimed …
To evaluate the association between the endometriosis staging and the type and intensity of pain reported by patients, describing the pain intensity across different pain types.
Background: Endometriosis affects an estimated 10% of reproductive-aged women and is associated with increased ovarian cancer risk. While BRCA1/2 mutations are established risk factors for ovarian cancer, their association with …
Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to investigate molecular differences among peritoneal, ovarian, bowel endometriosis phenotypes and control tissues. Peritoneal lesions showed the most pronounced spectral changes in CH-stretching (2800-3000 …
Endometriosis is a common condition among women where tissue resembling the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. This misplaced tissue can develop in several areas, including the peritoneum, pouch of …
