Challenging the paradigm that neonatal uterine bleeding represents the first menstrual episode.

Neonatal uterine bleeding (NUB) has been hypothesized as a relatively common early-life event potentially linked to the later development of endometriosis through retrograde menstruation. However, its true prevalence and biological …

Predicting superficial peritoneal endometriosis in symptomatic women with negative examination and imaging.

To develop a predictive risk score for superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) in patients with negative examination and imaging based on symptoms and quality of life measures DESIGN: Multicenter nested case-control …

Rates of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency and Surgical Menopause in Patients with Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a chronic disorder that affects approximately 10% of reproductive aged women and can have wide-ranging detrimental effects. While endometriosis is known to be associated with early menopause, the …

Clinical challenges and therapeutic strategies in women with endometriosis, deep infiltrating endometriosis, and/or adenomyosis undergoing assisted reproductive technologies: a narrative review.

This narrative review explores contemporary therapeutic options and critically assesses surgical results and in vitro fertilization-intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI) outcomes in women affected by endometriosis, deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and/or …

Endometriosis and ovarian cancer: epidemiological evidence, molecular insights, and clinical decision-making.

Endometriosis, particularly ovarian endometrioma, is associated with a 2-fold increased risk of ovarian cancer (OC), especially the clear cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, the absolute lifetime risk of OC in …

Nuclear factor IX promotes endometriosis progression through transcriptional activation of tetraspanin-2.

Endometriosis is a benign yet aggressive disease characterized by enhanced proliferation and invasion of ectopic endometrial tissue. Identifying upstream regulators that co-regulate these processes will provide novel insights into endometriosis …

Whole genome methylation profiling of menstrual stem cells identifies novel biomarkers for endometriosis.

Endometriosis, despite its high prevalence, is underdiagnosed and poorly managed due to lack of clinically validated biomarkers and pathophysiological insight. Menstrual blood-derived stem cells have been implicated in disease pathogenesis, …

Common Gynecologic Issues in Patients Post-Kidney Transplantation.

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 …

Unraveling the significance of decorin in endometriosis development through single cell sequencing and experimental approaches.

A link exists between decorin (DCN) and endometriosis, nevertheless, the role of DCN in this condition remains unclear. This study aims to bioinformatically characterize DCN expression, diagnostic value, and related …
