Is systemic inflammation associated with reduced ovarian reserve in endometriosis? An investigation of anti-Müllerian hormone and inflammatory markers.

To examine the correlation between levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH)-which serves as an indicator of ovarian reserve-and inflammation markers in women with endometriomas.

Effects of hormonal treatment on the expression of collagen type I, matrix metalloproteinase-1, and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 in endometriosis.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease, and hormonal treatment is the most common treatment. Both deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and ovarian endometrioma (OV) are characterized by dense surrounding fibrotic tissue. However, …

HMGB-1 Increases Proinflammatory Reaction via TLR4 in Human Granulosa Cells of Endometriosis.

Background/Objectives: Oxidative stress is a critical factor in the development and progression of endometriosis. Granulosa cells, which reside near oocytes in follicles, exhibit steroidogenic activity, and, consequently, influence oocyte quality. …

Hypoxia-inducible factor-1 alpha expression in endometriosis: A retrospective observational case-control study of ovarian cyst capsules and endometrial tissue samples.

BackgroundThis study aimed to compare the expression patterns of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in ovarian cyst capsules and endometrial tissue samples from patients with and without endometriosis to evaluate its potential as …

Causal Relationship Between Socioeconomic Inequality and Hormone-Related Gynecologic Diseases: A Two-Sample, Two-Step Mendelian Randomization Study.

Although observational studies suggest a link between socioeconomic status (SES) and hormone-related gynecologic diseases, the causal direction and mediating mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to explore the causal relationships …

Improving Diagnostic Yield in Peritoneal Endometriosis: Value of Additional Level Sections and Sampling Protocols.

To evaluate whether deeper histologic sections and tissue-blocking practices improve the diagnosis of endometriosis in peritoneal biopsies. We retrospectively reviewed 148 peritoneal biopsy cases with clinical suspicion of endometriosis from …

Primary Invasive Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Vagina Presenting Three Decades After Total Hysterectomy for Benign Endometriosis: A Case Report.

A 57-year-old woman (G2P2) with a history of total hysterectomy for endometriosis 30 years earlier, presented for a routine gynecological examination without complaints. Speculum examination revealed an erythematous, raised plaque …
