HEXACHLOROBENZENE AND CHLORPYRIFOS, ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTANTS THAT DISRUPT THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM, PROMOTE ANGIOGENESIS ASSOCIATED WITH ENDOMETRIOSIS.

Endometriosis defined by the growth of endometrial tissues outside the uterus, affects women of reproductive age. A critical process in endometriosis progression, angiogenesis involves endothelial cell migration, proliferation and tube …

Initial Results of FAPI PET/MRI to Assess the Extent of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common gynecologic disorder often associated with chronic pelvic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Conventional imaging modalities, such as transvaginal ultrasound and MRI, may underestimate the …

A woman's worth: Self-compassion as a mediator between optimism and beliefs about motherhood, identity, and infertility of women with endometriosis.

The aim of the present study was to analyze the mediating role of self-compassion between trait optimism and beliefs about woman identity, motherhood and infertility among women with endometriosis, adjusting …

Emerging signal transduction pathways and the role of bacterial extracellular vesicles linked to the pathogenesis of endometriosis.

Endometriosis is defined as the ectopic proliferation of endometrial cells. Aberrant signal transduction is present in ectopic endometriotic lesions, and bacteria also contributes to the development of endometriosis by transmitting …

Psychological flexibility and pain catastrophizing in endometriosis: Incremental validity and interaction effects in predicting psychosocial outcomes.

Psychological distress and reduced health-related quality of life are common among women with endometriosis, particularly when the condition is accompanied by chronic pain. Psychological flexibility (PF), a core process in …

PBMC-derived FGF, PDGF, VEGF and GM-CSF secretion in endometriosis: a case-control in vitro study.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease with immune dysregulation in which angiogenic, and hematopoietic mediators are thought to contribute to ectopic lesion establishment and persistence. Whether circulating immune cells are …

Hypoxia-induced regulations of cell adhesion molecules and their implications for pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment of endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, affecting up to 10% of women of reproductive age. Despite extensive research, its …

Management of bowel dysfunction after pelvic surgery for endometriosis.

Bowel dysfunction is a common and debilitating condition affecting patients with endometriosis. Despite the extent of surgery, symptoms may persist or arise, often overlapping with low anterior resection syndrome (LARS) …

RE-1 silencing transcription factor is reduced in endometriosis and uterine deletion in mice alters progesterone responsiveness.

Endometriosis is a steroid-dependent gynecologic disease characterized by progesterone (P4) resistance, subfertility/infertility, and pelvic pain; however, the molecular mechanisms underlying impaired P4 responsiveness in endometriosis tissue are not fully understood. …
