Endometriosis (EM) is an intractable gynecological condition with uncertain etiology. Gut microbiota have been increasingly implicated in EM, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we identify a gut microbe-metabolite-uterus …
Recurrent hemorrhagic pleural effusion presents as a challenge for both the clinician and the patient, with common causes being tuberculosis, malignancy, and collagen vascular diseases. Among uncommon causes of recurrent …
Background/Objectives: The NLRP3 inflammasome-Caspase-1-IL-1β pyroptotic axis participates in peripheral inflammatory responses, yet its function in peripheral-central neuroimmune crosstalk underlying endometriosis (EM)-associated pain remains unclear. This study aimed to clarify whether …
Background and Objectives: Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) complicating placenta praevia is associated with increased maternal morbidity; however, neonatal respiratory burden may be underappreciated. We compared neonatal outcomes between pregnancies complicated …
Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) is a prevalent, disabling syndrome encompassing overlapping disorders such as endometriosis/adenomyosis, bladder pain syndrome/interstitial cystitis, irritable bowel syndrome, vulvodynia, and myofascial pain syndrome. Despite distinct clinical …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis affects around 10% of women of reproductive age and is commonly associated with pelvic pain, fatigue and infertility. Beyond physical symptoms, the condition can substantially affect psychosocial well-being. …
Endometriosis is a prevalent estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that compromises women's quality of life and fertility through chronic pelvic pain, inflammation, and reproductive dysfunction. Current clinical management remains largely palliative, with …
Background and Clinical Significance: Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is an ectopic endometrial tissue embedded into the anterior abdominal wall, mainly infiltrating the rectus abdominis or oblique muscles and subcutaneous tissue. …
Over the past 500 years, the convergence of three distinct paths - vaginal surgery, laparoscopy, and robotic technologies - has enabled the development of robot-assisted vaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic …
Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder that may be influenced by bisphenol A (BPA), an endocrine-disrupting chemical commonly found in food-contact plastics. BPA has been implicated in altered steroidogenesis, immune …
