As Coccidioides spp. are endemic in the southwestern United States, awareness of the risk factors for severe disease and dissemination is important to avoid delays in diagnosis and treatment. In …
Endometriosis is a benign condition characterized by chronic inflammation and fibrosis. We report the findings of endometriosis at the rectouterine pouch on 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT scan in a 25-year-old woman. The …
Endometriosis and Recurrent Implantation Failure (RIF) are both pivotal clinical issues within the realm of reproductive medicine, sharing significant overlap in their pathophysiological mechanisms. However, research exploring the commonalities between …
Long interspersed element 1 (LINE-1) retrotransposons are repetitive sequences that can move within the genome by an autonomous mechanism. To limit their mutagenic potential, benign cells restrict LINE-1 expression through …
Medical racism perpetuates health inequities contributing to why Black people in the United States (US) experience worse health outcomes when compared to non-Hispanic White populations. In terms of endometriosis, research …
Smooth endoplasmic reticulum aggregates (SERa) are a type of dysmorphism in oocytes derived from controlled ovarian stimulation (COS). The effect of SERa on assisted reproductive techniques (ART) outcomes is debatable. …
Low-grade endometrial stromal sarcoma (LGESS) is a rare mesenchymal tumor of female genital tract malignancies. While it primarily arises in the uterus, extrauterine cases, including those originating in the ovary, …
Background Endometriosis-related infertility and its treatment with assisted reproductive technologies (ART) have been broadly researched. Yet, underlying mechanisms of infertility, particularly in the absence of tubal dysfunction, remain unclear. While …
Do activated fibroblasts expressing fibroblast activation protein-α (FAP) - which is traceable in positron emission topography/computed topography (PET/CT) - play a role in the microenvironment of endometriosis?
