Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory gynecological condition that affects millions of women and people with uteri globally, with limited available treatments. In this work, we explore using ionic liquid (IL)-coated …
Endometriosis, an atypical benign disorder, may disrupt epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) due to a dysregulated balance between matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and their inhibitors. Ramipril, an angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, is …
Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) have been associated with disorders affecting female reproductive health, although the precise causal connections and underlying pathways between these substances and such disorders remain incompletely elucidated. …
Endometriosis (EDT) is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by inflammation, fibrosis, pelvic pain, and infertility. Current therapies show limited long-term efficacy and adverse effects, underscoring the need for novel therapeutic …
The reproductive tract microbiome plays a pivotal role in female fertility, with Lactobacillus-dominated communities maintaining a protective, low-pH environment. Dysbiosis-characterized by a reduction in Lactobacillus species and overgrowth of anaerobes-is …
Chronic low-grade inflammation is increasingly recognized as a contributing factor to female infertility. Elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 are observed in ovarian conditions including …
Acute abdomen is a common indication to surgery in paediatric emergency departments. Appendicitis is the most frequent diagnosis, followed by bowel obstruction and female genital conditions. Some rare aetiologies may …
Female infertility is a multifactorial condition with complex biological and clinical underpinnings. Biologically, female-related infertility may stem from disruptions in the hypothalamic-pituitary-ovarian (HPO) axis, impaired folliculogenesis, oocyte maturation defects, uterine …
Endometriosis (EM) is an inflammatory condition that affects approximately 10% of the female-born population. It is characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to chronic …
Background: Emerging evidence suggests that lipedema may share hormonal, inflammatory, and genetic mechanisms with gynecologic diseases, particularly endometriosis. However, the extent and nature of these interrelationships remain poorly characterized, supporting …
