Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation. Pyroptosis, a type of programmed proinflammatory cell death, plays a crucial role in various inflammatory diseases. However, its specific mechanism …
The potential bidirectional causal relationship between endometriosis and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D has been previously investigated. Nevertheless, the results could be impacted by confounding factors and reverse causality because of the …
Massive abdominal wall defects resulting from radical abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) resection present a major reconstructive challenge. This study aims to assess feasibility and short-term safety of a standardized retromuscular-onlay …
Endometriosis, a common chronic gynecological disorder, involves cellular autophagy and inflammatory processes in its pathogenesis. However, the specific regulatory mechanisms of autophagy and inflammation in endometriosis remain unknown. In this …
It is unknown to what degree surgical management of endometriosis occurs in outpatient ambulatory settings and what factors are associated with ambulatory versus inpatient surgical care.
This case report demonstrates the enhanced visualization capabilities of FAPI in visualizing deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions compared to ultrasonography and MRI, suggesting its potential as a powerful diagnostic tool …
Endometriosis is a common gynecological condition, but intestinal involvement leading to bowel obstruction is rare, occurring in only 0.1-0.7% of cases. Diagnostic delay is frequent due to non-specific gastrointestinal symptoms.
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
This case-control study investigated whether ovarian endometriosis is associated with altered estrogen metabolism and gut or urogenital microbiota by analyzing enzyme activity, bacterial composition, and variations of estrogen metabolites in …
