The uterine secretome initiates growth of gynecologic tissues in ectopic locations: re-evaluating the evidence.

The origin of ectopic gynecologic lesions has been debated since 1927, when Sampson first proposed retrograde menstruation as the underlying cause of endometriosis. Reproduction in mammals is an unusually permissive …

Dose-Response And Threshold Effects of a C-reactive Protein-Triglyceride-Glucose Composite Index and Endometriosis Risk: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder associated with chronic low-grade inflammation, yet diagnosis is often delayed because symptoms are non-specific and definitive confirmation typically relies on invasive procedures. Composite indices …

[Endometriose i klinisk praksis].

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder affecting ~10% of reproductive-age women. It is underdiagnosed, with delays of 5-12 years. Symptoms include dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dyschezia, dysuria, fatigue, …

Free pelvic fluid detection and quantification using transvaginal ultrasound: a surrogate marker for retrograde menstruation.

Can transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) reliably detect and quantify free pelvic fluid (FPF) as a surrogate marker of retrograde menstruation, and how do its volume and characteristics vary across menstrual phases, …

DRIVE-KG: Enhancing variant-phenotype association discovery in understudied complex diseases using heterogeneous knowledge graphs.

Multi-omics data are instrumental in obtaining a comprehensive picture of complex biological systems. This is particularly useful for women's health conditions such as endometriosis, which has been historically understudied despite …

The Silent Strangulation: Post-hysterectomy Ureteral Endometriosis Masquerading as Iatrogenic Injury.

Ureteral endometriosis (UE) is a rare but potentially devastating manifestation of deep infiltrating endometriosis, often remaining asymptomatic until irreversible renal damage occurs. We present the case of a 42-year-old woman …

Increased C-Reactive Protein Concentrations During Menstruation May Be Important for the Pathophysiology of Endometriosis and Possibly for Adhesion Formation-A Systematic Review.

Objectives: The peritoneal cavity is a cavity outside the bloodstream, with a specific hormonal, immunological and microbiological micro-environment distinct from plasma. The mesothelial cells lining the peritoneal cavity react within …

Redefining the contribution of retrograde menstruation to endometriosis: single-cell analysis of endometriotic lesions suggests a process more complex than simple autografting.

The Paradox of Endometriosis in Mayer-Rokitansky-Kuster-Hauser Syndrome: Applying Three Criteria to Discriminate Between Retrograde Menstruation/Implantation and Coelomic Metaplasia/Embryonic Cell Rests Theories.

Background/Objectives: The scientific community is still divided between supporters of the implantation theory and researchers who advocate the theory of coelomic metaplasia/embryonic cell remnants to explain the initiation of endometriosis. …

The role of Fusobacterium nucleatum in the pathogenesis of endometriosis: A microbial and microenvironmental perspective.

Endometriosis is a chronic, inflammatory gynecological condition characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial-like tissue, with an unclear etiology and limited treatment efficacy. Recent studies implicate the oral and gut …
