This FIGO committee opinion paper addresses the growing body of evidence linking environmental exposures to common gynecologic and reproductive conditions across the life course. From adolescence through menopause, women are …
Gonadal hormone receptors are widely distributed across the brain, yet their influence on brain structure remains understudied. Here, using precision imaging, we examined four females, including one with endometriosis and …
Modern humans and archaic hominins, namely Denisovans and Neanderthals, have a long history of admixture. Some of these admixture events have allowed modern humans to adapt to new environments outside …
Background: Polypoid endometriosis is a rare variant of endometriosis that presents as a tumorous mass, making it difficult to differentiate it from a malignant tumor. It usually occurs in perimenopausal …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disease with unclear pathogenesis. Recent evidence suggests that ferroptosis plays an important role in the development of endometriosis. In this study, we aimed to explore whether …
A 44-year-old woman with biopsy-proven endometriosis underwent 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT. MRI revealed bilateral ovarian endometriomas, uterine adenomyosis, and deep pelvic endometriotic lesions. FAPI PET/CT demonstrated concordant uptake in deep infiltrating lesions …
Micronutrients are fundamental in maintaining the general health of a woman and play a pivotal role in reproductive health, with heightened importance during pregnancy and lactation. Deficiencies in vitamins and …
Endometriosis, a complex gynecological disorder characterized by aberrant growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, poses a significant challenge to women's health. Emerging evidence implicates environmental pollutants, particularly di-(2-ethylhexyl) …
Equine endometrosis is a chronic degenerative condition with fibrosis being one of the most significant characteristics. A growing body of evidence indicates the critical role of interleukin (IL)-17 in fibrotic …
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is vital for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis. Auto-antibodies against GAD deplete GAD levels and subsequently GABA, resulting in a hyper-excitatory state. A 41-year-old woman with anti-GAD …
