Diagnosing ovarian lesions is challenging because of their heterogeneous clinical presentations. Some benign ovarian conditions, such as endometriosis, can have features that mimic cancer. We use optical-resolution photoacoustic microscopy (OR-PAM) …
The extracellular matrix (ECM) critically influences cell behavior, yet its properties in human endometrial lesions (HEL) and human uterine fibromas (HUF) are not well characterized. This study aimed to characterize …
To evaluate the performance of transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) using the International Deep Endometriosis Analysis (IDEA) terminology in the detection of deep endometriosis (DE).
Deep endometriosis (DE) is established to cause chronic pelvic pain (CPP), lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) and altered bowel function. Although the aim of surgical excision is often to relieve …
The AFF2 gene encodes a protein involved in transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling. While primarily associated with Fragile X syndrome, AFF2 fusions have recently been identified in certain malignancies, mostly …
Upon exposure to biofluids, engineered nanoparticles (NPs) spontaneously form reproducible biomolecular coronas via selective diverse biomolecule adsorption. The corona characterization of metabolites poses greater analytical challenges than proteins due to …
Background and Objectives: To evaluate the significance of serum CA-125 level on the live birth rate of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in women with endometriosis. Materials and Methods: This retrospective …
Vitamin D is well established for its skeletal effects, being a cornerstone of several endocrine disorders. In recent years, it has come under investigation as a potential disease-modifying drug in …
