Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and focal adenomyosis of the outer myometrium (FAOM) are closely related chronic inflammatory conditions that often coexist. The systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index …
Daily activities, work, and health are closely intertwined. We closely followed 45 participants aged 50-66 years working across different sectors in a year-long study, who completed a range of baseline, …
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) people with endometriosis have unique health needs. Current health research, policy, and clinical practice are developed within a biomedical and cisheteronormative paradigm that structurally excludes …
Endometriosis and uterine leiomyomas are common chronic gynecologic diseases associated with immune dysregulation, inflammation and aberrant cellular proliferation, processes that contribute to increased oxidative stress. Current management relies largely on …
Randomized controlled clinical trials have shown that symptoms of chronic pain conditions, such as endometriosis, can be improved with the use of specialized health apps. In the current study, real-world …
Orofacial pain (OFP) is a multidimensional clinical problem that includes conditions such as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It is often associated with chronic overlapping pain conditions (COPCs), including gastrointestinal, gynecological and …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder marked by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth, resulting in pelvic pain, infertility, and significant declines in quality of life. Despite extensive research, current therapies …
The uterus is an essential organ for fetal development in most mammals. Uterine glands, highly conserved structures in the mammalian uterus, play critical roles in the establishment and maintenance of …
The female reproductive system is a hormonally driven, immune-active, and structurally dynamic system in which estrogen signaling, inflammation, and extracellular matrix (ECM) remodeling interact to support essential reproductive processes. Cyclical …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a prevalent, disabling syndrome encompassing overlapping disorders such as endometriosis/adenomyosis, bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, vulvodynia, and myofascial pain syndrome. Despite distinct clinical …
