Uterine contractility has emerged as a potential key element in the orchestration of female reproductive functions, with specific motility patterns seemingly aligning with hormonal fluctuations throughout the menstrual cycle. These …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of reproductive-age women and can be managed through medical treatments, surgical intervention, or both. Approximately 40%-50% of patients experience recurrence within 5 years after surgery. Therefore, …
Endometriosis is an inflammatory disorder characterized by ectopic endometrial-like tissue, affecting approximately 10% of women. It significantly impairs quality of life through symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, pelvic pain, and infertility. …
Diagnosis of endometriosis is a challenge. The recent development of a saliva-based micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA) signature for the diagnosis of endometriosis may enable a timelier and less invasive approach, but …
To demonstrate, using actual insurance data, that benign pelvic conditions are associated with increased healthcare costs and that these costs increase further with each additional coexisting benign pelvic diagnoses.
Female infertility, affecting millions worldwide, involves complex molecular mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, impaired cellular death, and protein regulation. This study explores how the cytokine IL-6, the autophagy marker LC3, …
The objective was to assess outcomes of robotic-assisted transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RA-vNOTES) performed for hysterectomy and endometriosis excision. We conducted a retrospective case series across two hospitals …
Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis by degrading damaged organelles and misfolded proteins. Emerging evidence highlights its pivotal role in endometrial diseases, including endometriosis, …
Ovarian endometriosis (OE), characterized by endometriotic cysts, adversely affects ovarian function and comprises in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) outcomes. Acupoint application therapy (AAT), which integrates transdermal drug delivery …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological condition associated with infertility, oxidative stress, and altered metabolic regulation. Follicular fluid (FF) reflects the microenvironment of the developing oocyte, and changes in …
