This matched comparative study investigates whether unoperated ovarian endometriomas (OMAs) influence the prevalence of tubal pathology as detected by hysterosalpingography (HSG) in infertile women. A total of 266 infertile women …
Pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) is a rare pulmonary disorder characterized by impaired surfactant clearance due to alveolar macrophage dysfunction. Leuprorelin acetate, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, is widely used in the …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that causes debilitating pain and significantly impairs quality of life. Due to its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties, vitamin D has been proposed as …
The causal role of established risk factors for premenstrual disorders (PMDs) remains unclear. We used Mendelian randomization (MR) to assess causality for eight known-risk factors identified through a literature review. …
Benign metastasizing leiomyoma (BML) is a rare condition characterized by histologically benign smooth muscle tumours arising at extrauterine sites, most commonly the lungs, in women with a history of uterine …

Growing teratoma syndrome (GTS) is a rare condition classically associated with platinum-based chemotherapy for malignant ovarian germ cell tumors. However, post-treatment findings following ovarian immature teratoma may represent a broader …
Accumulating observational evidence suggests an association between thyroid function and endometriosis, though the causal relationship remains unclear. To investigate potential bidirectional causal relationships, including for endometriosis subtypes, we conducted a …
Endometriosis (EMS) is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease. Although several studies have suggested a key role for estrogen receptor ERβ in EMS lesion development, its detection has been challenged by …
A 37-year-old non-Caucasian woman presented with a 2-year history of pruritic, concentric erythematous plaques refractory to multiple topical and systemic therapies. The clinical findings were highly suggestive of erythema gyratum …
