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 …
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynaecological disorder characterized by estrogen-dependent lesions. Pain-particularly dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, and dyspareunia-is the hallmark symptom of endometriosis. While pain mechanisms remain poorly understood, mast cells …
Does endometriosis and/or adenomyosis, diagnosed using the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) group and the Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) group revised definitions, impact cumulative live birth rates (CLBR) after …
To assess the interobserver reproducibility of the Revised American Society for Reproductive Medicine score (r-ASRM) and the Endometriosis Fertility Index (EFI) in women undergoing a conservative laparoscopy to treat endometriosis.
Endometriosis and uterine fibroids are estrogen-dependent gynecological disorders with an increasing burden to women's health worldwide. Despite overlapping symptoms and long-term consequences, the magnitude of their co-occurrence remains unclear.
Endometriosis is a typical disorder affecting the female reproductive system and is characterized by the presence of tissue resembling the endometrium both within and beyond the pelvic cavity. Unfortunately, the …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue growing outside the uterus. The molecular and clinical heterogeneity of endometriosis complicate diagnostic and treatment options -- …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of reproductive-aged women, characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic inflammation. The exact cause remains unknown, though genetic and epigenetic factors are increasingly …
Background: The management of endometriosis-associated pain has traditionally focused on analgesic efficacy. However, with high-level evidence demonstrating therapeutic equivalence among principal hormonal classes, the paradigm has shifted towards a patient-centred …
Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by the ectopic presence of endometrial cells that evade apoptosis and survive and proliferate under harsh environmental conditions. It is closely associated with infertility …
