Endometriosis is associated with immune dysregulation yet circulating cytokine measurements have shown limited discriminatory value. We investigated whether peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from women with endometriosis exhibit altered basal …
Background and Objective: The ultrasound sliding sign dynamically assesses pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration in suspected endometriosis. Transvaginal (TVS) and transrectal (TRS) ultrasound are used in patients with and without …
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition affecting up to 10% of reproductive-age individuals, is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Current treatments are based primarily on …
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) frequently arises in association with endometriosis and is characterized by iron-rich oxidative stress, hypoxia-responsive metabolic reprogramming, glycogen accumulation, and alterations in ferroptosis-regulatory pathways. Interactions among …
Endometriosis (EMs) is increasingly recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease in which innate immune dysregulation plays an important role. Its immunopathological features include macrophage polarization imbalance, with M1-skewed activation in …
Endometriosis (EM) is frequently associated with chronic pelvic pain (CPP) and dyspareunia, often linked to secondary pelvic floor dysfunction and hypertonicity. To evaluate whether the use of an intravaginal electromyography …
Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is essential for neuronal survival and development, and is also involved in oogenesis, follicle recruitment, and germ cell survival, which could impact reproduction. However, in humans, …
Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory, estrogen‑dependent benign gynecological disorder. A subset of patients with EM may subsequently develop endometriosis‑associated ovarian cancer (EAOC), implying a biological continuum between these two …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue and severe pain, including dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dysuria, …
