Transmembrane protein TMEM119 has been implicated in tumor progression (e.g., ovarian cancer), but its role and underlying mechanism in ovarian endometriosis (EM) remain elusive. Thus, this study aimed to investigate …
Background/Objectives: The scientific community is still divided between supporters of the implantation theory and researchers who advocate the theory of coelomic metaplasia/embryonic cell remnants to explain the initiation of endometriosis. …
Brenner tumors are rare ovarian neoplasms that often coexist with other epithelial tumors, most commonly mucinous cystic neoplasms. The association of Brenner tumors with endometriosis is unusual and not well-documented …
We explore bladder sensitivity profiles in females with chronic pelvic pain, using a non-invasive bladder sensitivity paradigm. We aim to determine how profiles differ between groups defined by symptoms; groups …
Letrozole and other aromatase inhibitors are increasingly recognized as first-line ovulation induction (OI) medications, offering an efficient and physiologic approach to ovarian stimulation that enhances outcomes in reproductive medicine. By …
Pain is the primary symptom of endometriosis and may progress into a chronic, acyclic condition driven by neuroinflammatory mechanisms, leading to neuropathic and ultimately nociplastic pain. Central sensitization, a form …
To present a laparoscopic nerve-sparing technique for the excision of a retrorectal fibrotic lesion involving the sacral roots (S2-S4), with additional dissection of the lumbosacral trunk based on the patient's …
The human microbiota is increasingly recognized as a key component of women's reproductive health. This narrative review examines the vaginal, endometrial, and gut microbiota and their roles in the pathogenesis …
Soluble immune mediators are key regulators of immune responses that help maintain self-tolerance and prevent autoimmunity. Recently, many forms of these mediators have been found, including soluble immune checkpoints, soluble …
To evaluate whether the use of intraoperative indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence impacts anastomotic safety and surgical outcomes in patients undergoing bowel endometriosis resection.
