Endometriosis treatment pathways in the largest private health insurance in Brazil: A real-world data study.

Endometriosis is a prevalent chronic gynecological condition affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growth. Despite its significant impact on quality of life, fertility, and healthcare utilization, …

Endometriosis and Endometrial Cancer-Association Between Biological Mechanisms and Its Clinical Implications.

Endometriosis and endometrial cancer are distinct gynecological conditions that share overlapping biological mechanisms with implications for clinical management. Endometriosis is a chronic, benign disorder characterized by the ectopic implantation of …

Comorbidity of endometriosis and adenomyosis: A systematic review examining the impact of co-morbid disease on fertility and pregnancy outcomes.

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are both characterised by ectopic endometrial-like tissue growing outside the endometrium of the uterus, however, they are ultimately distinct diseases with different pathophysiological mechanisms. Endometriosis and adenomyosis …

Long RNA profiles of endometrial extracellular vesicles provide new insights into the pathogenesis of ovarian endometriosis.

CSF3R signalling beyond granulopoiesis: new paradigms in female reproductive biology.

The Colony-Stimulating Factor 3 Receptor (CSF3R), the receptor for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), has expanded from a hematopoietic regulator to a multifunctional signalling molecule with significant relevance in gynaecological biology. …

Prediction of endometrial tissue PFAS concentrations using serum levels, demographic, and reproductive factors: Findings from the Investigating Mixtures of Pollutants and Endometriosis in Tissue (IMPLANT) study.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) accumulate in reproductive tissues, yet most studies rely on serum measurements. It remains unclear whether serum concentrations adequately reflect levels in target tissues. We evaluated …

Malignant Transformation of Endometriosis: A Rare Case of Extrauterine Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma.

Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is an extremely uncommon uterine malignancy, and commonly arises from preexisting endometriosis. On rare occasions, ESS arises from extrauterine tissues and is known as extra-uterine ESS. …

Expression and Function of Meflin in Human Endometrial Decidualization.

Decidualization of endometrial stromal cells involves significant morphological and functional changes in which alpha-smooth muscle actin (αSMA) expression decreases. Meflin, a glycosylphosphatidylinositol-anchored protein, suppresses αSMA expression and inhibits fibrosis in …

Assessing endometrial microbiota in endometriosis: culturomics and sequencing analysis of receptive-phase tissue.

Endometriosis has been associated with alterations in the reproductive tract microbiota, yet studies focusing on the endometrial microbiome remain inconsistent, partly due to the low-biomass nature of this niche and …

Evaluating Subtypes of Endometriosis in Rhesus Macaques (Macaca mulatta) Using Clinical Findings and Immunohistochemistry.

Endometriosis is defined as endometrial tissue outside of the uterus. It is a debilitating, complex, and underdiagnosed condition, impacting approximately 10%-15% of reproductive-aged women worldwide. Endometriosis is associated with chronic …
