Endometriosis is a complex gynecological disorder characterized by endometrial-like tissue growing outside the uterus, leading to chronic pain, infertility, and reduced quality of life. Its pathophysiology involves genetic, epigenetic, immune, …
BACKGROUND Splenosis is the ectopic autotrasplantation of splenic tissue that can follow trauma to the spleen or splenectomy and can occur anywhere in the peritoneal cavity or extraperitoneally. Splenosis can …
Epithelial ovarian cancer commonly presents with vague symptoms that delay diagnosis until disease is advanced. Granulomatous peritonitis is a term used to describe granulomatous inflammation within the peritoneal cavity and …
BACKGROUND Women with endometriosis experience significantly reduced fertility, potentially linked to mitochondrial dysfunction. This study investigates the impact of endometriosis on oocyte mitochondrial morphology and cardiolipin levels, key indicators of …
In women with endometriosis, monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 (MCP-1) or chemokine (C-C motif) ligand 2 (CCL2) is elevated in serum, peritoneal fluid, and endometriotic lesions, though its exact role in …
Pelvic endometriosis is an estrogen-driven inflammatory syndrome of unknown origin that alters the peritoneal microenvironment and likely impairs endometrial receptivity, adversely affecting fertility. Chronic endometritis (CE) may be a potential …
Endometriosis, characterized by the growth of uterine-like tissue outside the uterus, causes chronic pain and infertility. Current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies have notable limitations, including delayed diagnosis and adverse effects. …
We recently showed that endometriotic peritoneal fluid (PF) altered the regulation of enhancer of zeste homolog 2 (EZH2) and H3K27me3. This study aimed to determine if PF by regulating EZH2/H3K27me3 …
Endometriosis is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain and lacks precise pathophysiological mechanisms. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs), markers of oxidative stress and inflammation, are implicated in pain-related diseases …
Pelvic pain, often associated with endometriosis, significantly affects women's quality of life. This study explored the soluble neural cell adhesion molecules (sNCAM), soluble interleukin 2 receptor α (sIL-2Rα), and IL-2 …
