Endometriosis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation of endometrial-like tissue and accompanied by persistent pain and infertility. Beyond the pelvis, accumulating epidemiological evidence indicates that …
Emerging research indicates the potential of psychological pain management programs to address disability and distress associated with endometriosis-related pain. Understanding the characteristics of patients likely to benefit from such programs …
To evaluate the neurovascular architecture of deep endometriosis using a standardized butterfly excision approach and to explore its association with postoperative pain outcomes.
To develop and internally validate machine-learning models for non-invasive triage of women at risk for endometriosis using structured clinical variables in a laparoscopically and histologically verified cohort.
To compare follicular fluid (FF) cytokine and homocysteine profiles in women with poor ovarian response (POR) undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF), with and without sonographic endometrioma, and to explore potential …
The prevalence of steatotic liver disease (SLD) is increasing globally. Endometriosis, affecting up to 10% of women, is a major cause of infertility. While associations between endometriosis and metabolic syndrome …
Endometriosis progression is driven by oxidative stress and excessive angiogenesis within an inflammatory microenvironment. To overcome these challenges, we designed ROS/pH dual-responsive Alpelisib-loaded nanoparticles (Alp@TAT-AT7-NPs) functionalized with an anti-NRP1 peptide …
Conventionally, rectal endometriotic nodules have been considered as poorly vascularized. However, new, more sensitive, Doppler techniques have been developed recently for assessing microvascularization. These new techniques might allow microvascularity in …
Background and objectives Diagnosis and treatment of infertility, mostly sought at tertiary facilities, contribute to substantial out-of-pocket expenditure (OOPE). This study estimated OOPE among couples seeking care for endometriosis, male …
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 …
