Efficacy and Safety of Personalized Percutaneous Single-Probe Cryoablation Using Liquid Nitrogen in the Treatment of Abdominal Wall Endometriosis.

Background: Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is a rare but debilitating condition, often occurring in surgical scars after Caesarean sections. It is characterized by cyclic pain and a palpable mass, significantly …

Revealing the endocrine landscape of INSL3/RXFP2 signaling in hamster.

In mammals, insulin-like peptide 3 (INSL3) and its cognate receptor (RXFP2) are reported to be essential regulators of male reproductive physiology. It is also believed that INSL3/RXFP2 signaling has a …

Cross-Sectional Imaging of Pelvic Inflammatory Disease: Diagnostic Pearls and Pitfalls on CT and MR.

Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) encompasses a broad range of infection-induced inflammatory disorders of the female upper genital tract, commonly caused by ascending sexually transmitted infections. Diagnosis is often challenging because …

C57BL/6J mice best recapitulate fibrosis and inflammatory pathophysiology in syngeneic mouse model of endometriosis.

Endometriosis (ENDO), a chronic inflammatory disease affecting approximately 190 million women globally, is characterized by fibrosis, a feature often challenging to replicate in murine models. To identify an optimal syngeneic …

Activated eosinophil plays a role in promoting fibrosis in endometriotic lesion.

The fibrosis mechanism in endometriosis is not elucidated. We investigated the role of eosinophil in fibrosis of endometriosis. The endometriotic stromal cells (ESCs) and endometrial epithelial cells (EECs) were subjected …

Rectal Clear Cell Carcinoma Arising from Endometriosis: Case Report and Literature Review.

Background and Clinical Significance: Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease that can occasionally be associated with malignant transformation. The most common site of malignant transformation is the ovary, but there …

Concurrent Terminal Ileocaecal Crohn's Disease and Terminal Ileal Endometriosis: Multimodal Assessment with CT, MRI, and PET/CT Imaging.

The impact of endometriosis on cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases: A Mendelian randomization study.

Endometriosis has been linked to several systemic complications, including cardiovascular disease (CVD), atrial fibrillation (AF), heart failure (HF), hypertension, stroke, and ischemic stroke. The potential causal relationship between endometriosis and …

Optimizing endometriosis diagnosis and mapping: The important role of advanced transvaginal ultrasound.

Endometriosis is estimated to affect 5%-10% of women of reproductive age, making timely diagnosis essential for initiating treatment, alleviating symptoms, and reducing the risk of disease progression. Unfortunately, the diagnostic …

The Role of MRI in Diagnosis and Pre-Surgical Mapping of Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic multisystem disease caused by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the endometrial canal, inciting inflammation and fibrosis. Transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) and MRI have replaced diagnostic laparoscopy …
