Calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), a neuropeptide, has been implicated in autoimmune diseases, endometriosis, tumors, and primary headaches, including migraine. The development of a novel, fast-acting CGRP receptor antagonist administered via …
Background/Objectives: This study evaluates the 1-year follow-up outcomes after minimally invasive nerve-sparing surgery for the complete excision of deep endometriosis (DE), with a specific focus on deep dyspareunia. Cases with …
A precise understanding of pelvic neurovascular anatomy is essential for minimizing complications during advanced gynecological and pelvic surgery. Retroperitoneal dissection requires a clear appreciation of spatial relationships between vascular, neural, …
Small bowel herniation through a Caesarean section wound is exceedingly rare and may present with erythema and induration clinically indistinguishable from superficial wound infection, risking dangerous diagnostic delay. A case …
Background/Objectives: Abdominal wall and extrapelvic endometriosis are uncommon entities that may mimic other surgical conditions and delay diagnosis. This study evaluated their clinicopathological, diagnostic, and surgical features in a single-center …
Estradiol (E2), a sex steroid hormone molecule, plays a key role in regulating the actin and shape dynamics of cells in a multitude of normal and pathophysiological conditions. While cytoskeletal …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are a global concern for human health and the environment. EDCs include plasticizers, pharmaceutical agents, industrial chemicals, fungicides, and pesticides. Thus, EDC exposure is a manmade consequence …
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are persistent endocrine-disrupting chemicals implicated in reproductive dysfunction. Epidemiologic evidence examining their association with endometriosis remains inconsistent. Thus, we conducted a PRISMA-compliant systematic review and …
Bisphenols and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals with widespread human exposure and growing concern regarding their reproductive toxicity. This review integrates current experimental and epidemiologic …
Endometriosis, a chronic inflammatory condition linked to pelvic pain and infertility, is characterized by immune dysfunction involving dysregulated apoptosis and cell proliferation. This case-control study included 87 infertile women undergoing …
