To demonstrate the presence of peritoneal fluid (PF)-derived small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in endometriosis and control samples, to characterise their protein content and to define endometriosis-specific biomarkers within the sEV …
This report explores the case of a young, normal-responder nulligravida with peritoneal endometriosis and recurrent implantation failure, with poor embryo quality during multiple failed attempts at IVF treatment. The patient …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease characterized by ectopic endometrial-like glands and stroma, persistent pelvic inflammation, pain, infertility, and frequent recurrence. The limited availability of nonhormonal and lesion-directed therapies …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that, despite its benign histology, displays several cancer-relevant features, including clonal expansion, somatic alteration-associated lesion evolution, tissue invasion, apoptosis resistance, immune evasion, angiogenesis, …
This study characterized the peritoneal surface of the posterior cervix and vaginal fornix. Transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) was performed during laparoscopic surgery to visualize structures beyond the muscular and epithelial layers …
Endometriosis (EMs) is increasingly recognized as a chronic inflammatory disease in which innate immune dysregulation plays an important role. Its immunopathological features include macrophage polarization imbalance, with M1-skewed activation in …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-age women, characterized by the ectopic growth of endometrial tissue and severe pain, including dysmenorrhea, chronic pelvic pain, dyspareunia, dysuria, …
Uterine leiomyomas are common benign neoplasms, but atypical presentations such as extensive cystic degeneration are rare and can pose significant diagnostic challenges. When pedunculated and predominantly cystic, these tumors can …
Endometriosis is a multifaceted disease, causing debilitating pelvic pain in some patients, while being completely asymptomatic in others. The pathophysiology of endometriosis pain is not well understood and poorly correlated …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder lacking definitive laboratory diagnostic markers. Angiopoietin-like protein-4 (ANGPTL4) is a protein involved in the regulation of angiogenesis and inflammation. The aim of the present …
