Advances in kidney transplantation have transformed survival and quality of life for women with end-stage renal disease, necessitating a focus on long-term health care for this population. Female kidney transplant …
The comorbidity between endometriosis and migraine has long been recognized clinically, yet a unifying pathophysiological explanation has remained elusive. Traditional models, centered on hormonal fluctuations or secondary inflammation are lacking …
Abnormal cleavage (ABNCL) in early human embryos is a frequent phenomenon associated with impaired developmental competence and reduced reproductive potential. However, the clinical determinants of ABNCL and its subtypes remain …
Endometriosis is a prevalent gynecologic disorder associated with infertility and increased cancer risk, necessitating the development of sensitive and reliable diagnostic methods. Circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as promising noninvasive …
Diaphragmatic and thoracic endometriosis (DTE) is considered rare, often presenting with non-specific cyclical thoracic symptoms. Diagnosis and surgical management remain challenging due to the need for cross-specialty expertise. This study …
Endometriosis (EMs) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized by tumor-like growth behavior and limited therapeutic options. Increasing evidence suggests that gut microbiota may contribute to EMs progression by promoting chronic …
Angiogenesis mediated by vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGF-A) is essential for physiological vascular remodeling but also drives pathological processes, including tumor growth, ocular neovascularization, and inflammation. Emerging evidence has …
It is unknown to what degree surgical management of endometriosis occurs in outpatient ambulatory settings and what factors are associated with ambulatory versus inpatient surgical care.
Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the establishment of endometriosis, of which retrograde menstruation remains the most widely accepted mechanism of dissemination. However, the mechanisms governing selective lesion establishment …
This case-control study investigated whether ovarian endometriosis is associated with altered estrogen metabolism and gut or urogenital microbiota by analyzing enzyme activity, bacterial composition, and variations of estrogen metabolites in …
