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 is a prevalent gynecological disorder characterized by chronic inflammation. Pyroptosis, a type of programmed proinflammatory cell death, plays a crucial role in various inflammatory diseases. However, its specific mechanism …
The independent causal effects of interrelated lifestyle behaviors and psychological states on women's gynecologic and obstetric health remain incompletely understood. We conducted a comprehensive Mendelian randomization (MR) study to disentangle …
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 …
The potential bidirectional causal relationship between endometriosis and serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D has been previously investigated. Nevertheless, the results could be impacted by confounding factors and reverse causality because of the …
Massive abdominal wall defects resulting from radical abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) resection present a major reconstructive challenge. This study aims to assess feasibility and short-term safety of a standardized retromuscular-onlay …
Female fertility relies heavily on the health of the oviduct and uterus. Each of these organs consist of a muscular tube lined by epithelial cells. In this review, we discuss …
We present a case of extrapelvic endometriosis of Bartholin's gland in a healthy 40-year-old woman with two deliveries. After the last delivery 10 years ago, she had cyclical pain with …
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 …
The dynamics of peritoneal fluid has vital applications in various physiological functions, particularly in female reproductive physiology, which modulates the transport of gametes within the fallopian tubes. This research aims …
