This review focuses on the diverse etiologies of secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) and the crucial role of imaging in their diagnosis. Unlike primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP), which is typically due …
Delays in the diagnosis of endometriosis in sub Saharan Africa persist, driven partly by limited access to advanced imaging techniques. Capacity building initiatives focused on ultrasound offer a practical and …
Biomaterials for drug delivery offer significant advantages over conventional medications, including enhanced cellular uptake, improved drug stability, targeted delivery, and controlled drug release. Cutting-edge nanodrugs delivery approaches such as drugs …
Background and Objectives: Endometriosis has been shown to be associated with an increased cancer risk, and apoptosis may be important in the pathophysiology of endometriosis. To date, it remains unclear …
Background: Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent and potentially serious complication following gynecologic oncology surgeries. Anticoagulants such as heparin, enoxaparin, and rivaroxaban are commonly used for thromboprophylaxis; however, their …
Increased activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome in immune cells, including macrophages, has been implicated in the pathogenesis of multiple chronic inflammatory diseases. Targeted depletion of macrophages has been explored as …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition, typically associated with pelvic pain and menorrhagia, affecting 10% of women of reproductive age. Inflammation is known to contribute to pregnancy complications, including preterm …
Objectives: Transvaginal Natural Orifice Transluminal Endoscopic Surgery (vNOTES) offers significant benefits in hysterectomy, including reduced postoperative pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery. However, the cost and accessibility of surgical ports …
Minimally invasive endometriosis surgery can be done laparoscopically or with robotic assistance. The choice of modality of this procedure could impact postprocedure pain levels and the need for opioids to …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition requiring surgical or imaging visualization for definitive diagnosis. How endometriotic lesion characteristics relate to circulating inflammatory markers remains unclear. We evaluated 11 inflammatory biomarkers, …
