Mid-life women are increasingly recognized as a vulnerable population for endocrine disruption due to chronic environmental exposures. Among emerging contaminants, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and microplastics have been implicated …
Both genetic and environmental factors affect human stature, including overall height and familial short stature (FSS), and it is associated with various health outcomes. However, the study of genetic connections …
Endometriosis diagnosis is often limited by the resolution of conventional imaging techniques (ultrasound/non-targeted MRI) as well as the invasiveness and recurrence risks associated with laparoscopy. To overcome these challenges, we …
Infertility is a common reproductive health issue, associated with increased risks of pregnancy complications. However, shared underlying risk factors such as age, BMI, PCOS, endometriosis, and lifestyle may partly explain …
Female reproductive disorders influence women's physical and mental well-being, and the sustainability of the family. However, it is unclear whether lifestyle factors, including sedentary behaviors and physical activity, could impact …
Endometriosis is a heterogeneous gynecological disease manifesting in three distinct phenotypes: superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SUP), ovarian endometrioma (OMA), and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). While Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have identified …
Nerve-sparing gynecologic surgery has evolved as a critical advancement in the management of deeply infiltrating endometriosis, aiming to reduce postoperative dysfunction while preserving surgical efficacy. Historically, procedures such as radical …
Endometriosis is a chronic estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease frequently associated with gastrointestinal symptoms, metabolic comorbidities, and impaired quality of life. Growing interest in nutrition has led to the widespread dissemination of …
Endocrine-disrupting chemicals (EDCs), including bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates, organochlorine pesticides, and heavy metal ions, pose serious threats to reproductive health by interfering with hormonal balance and molecular signaling pathways. Recent …
Background: Deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and, in particular, bowel endometriosis stand out for their complexity. While surgery for bowel endometriosis has proven to be effective, there is a lack of …
