To evaluate intraobserver and interobserver agreement in the interpretation of subtle MRI findings classified as minimal endometriosis, to assess the impact of the Kappa paradox in low-prevalence compartments, and to …
Subepithelial lesions (SELs) in the lower gastrointestinal tract are rare, and diagnosis and treatment of colorectal SELs are often challenging. Although endoscopic ultrasound-guided tissue acquisition (EUS-TA) is useful for minimally …
The research by Chen et al. (2024) presents an innovative hypothesis linking creatine metabolism to ferroptosis resistance in endometriotic stromal cells via PrP suppression. While conceptually valuable, methodological aspects warrant …
Progesterone resistance in endometriosis reduces the efficacy of progestin. The non-classical progesterone receptor, progesterone receptor membrane component 1 (PGRMC1) may regulate progesterone signaling in the normal endometrium, but its expression …
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 …
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 …
