The impact of total laparoscopic excision of deep endometriosis (DE) on bladder and bowel dysfunction: a prospective longitudinal study.

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 …

In Situ Characterization and Deep Profiling of Engineered Multispecific Nanoparticle Metabolite Coronas for Precise Serum Diagnostics.

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 …

Predictive value of MR imaging IVIM and T2 mapping in malignant transformation of endometriosis.

This study aims to explore the value of MRI intravoxel incoherent motion (IVIM) combined with T2 mapping in predicting the malignancy of endometriosis (EM) and construct a noninvasive preoperative risk …

Feasibility and clinical value of virtual reality based on 3D model in colorectal endometriosis for surgical planning.

Colorectal endometriosis (CRE) is one of the most severe forms of deep pelvic endometriosis with a high risk of major postoperative complications. While pelvic MRI is the gold standard for …

Fertility preservation in endometriosis: current strategies and outcomes.

Endometriosis is a frequent chronic estrogen-dependent condition that can significantly impair fertility and reduce the quality of life in affected individuals. Women with endometriosis face a 30-50% risk of infertility. …

Systematic analyses uncover endocrine-disrupting chemical-responsive genes linked to endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder influenced by both genetic and environmental factors, including endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs). This study aimed to identify EDC-responsive genes contributing to endometriosis risk by integrating …

Dysmenorrhoea presentation in Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome: A case study.

Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome is a rare congenital anomaly characterized by uterus didelphys, obstructed hemi-vagina, and ipsilateral renal agenesis. This study aims to present a case of Herlyn-Werner-Wunderlich syndrome seen at Shifa …

Pharmacokinetic-Pharmacodynamic Modeling and Simulation of Merigolix, a Nonpeptide Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Antagonist.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonists inhibit estrogen synthesis and secretion, making them promising treatment options for estrogen-dependent diseases, such as endometriosis. This study developed a population pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) model for merigolix, …

Expression of Concern: Uterine leiomyoma is associated with the risk of developing endometriosis: A nationwide cohort study involving 156,195 women.

APOL1-mediated kidney disease: a narrative review of the lessons learnt from the past 15 years.

Fifteen years have elapsed since the publication of the seminal work establishing the association between risk variants in the Apolipoprotein L1 (APOL1) gene and kidney disease in individuals of African …
