Postoperative pain following laparoscopic surgery can delay recovery and increase opioid use. Lower insufflation pressures have been consistently shown to reduce pain in general surgery procedures, but their impact in …
Catamenial pneumothorax is an uncommon manifestation of thoracic endometriosis syndrome, usually associated with small right-sided diaphragmatic fenestration. We report an extreme presentation in a woman in her late 40s who …
A growing body of literature has revealed that patients with endometriosis are at an increased risk for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Endometriosis is a heterogeneous disease …
To evaluate the effects of a combined programme of therapeutic exercise (TE) and pain neurophysiology education (PNE) on health-related quality of life (HRQoL), abdominal wall muscle thickness, menstrual symptoms and …
Background: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder associated with pain and immune dysregulation. Omega-3 (n-3) fatty acids and fish-derived bioactive lipids may modulate inflammation and metabolism. This study investigated …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease characterised by ectopic endometrial tissue, progressive fibrosis and chronic pain, with a pathogenesis that goes beyond oestrogen dependence. The central question this review seeks …
The human microbiome, a dynamic endocrine organ, exerts profound systemic influence through the production of bioactive metabolites. While the microbiome-gut-brain axis is well-established, the direct conduit between the gut microbiota …
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of mortality in women, yet sex-specific risk factors are usually not included in conventional predictive models. Specifically, heart failure (HF) in women may …
Bowel involvement is a severe manifestation of deep endometriosis that affects approximately 8-12% of women with endometriosis. Bowel endometriosis is most commonly localised in the rectosigmoid colon and frequently coexists …
Postoperative recurrence remains a major obstacle to durable remission in patients with solid tumors, even after complete macroscopic resection. Growing evidence suggests that surgery creates a transient yet highly permissive …
