Endometriosis may become malignant, and its diagnosis is challenging, especially in rare extra-ovarian sites like the rectum. Here, we describe the case of a 42-year-old woman who presented with intermittent …
Magnetic resonance enterography (MRE) has become an essential imaging modality for evaluating small bowel disorders, particularly Crohn's disease (CD), due to its superior soft-tissue contrast, multiplanar capabilities, and lack of …
Introduction and importance: Extrapelvic endometriosis, confined exclusively to the body of the rectus abdominis muscle, is a rare form of abdominal wall endometriosis. While its etiopathology remains unclear, it is …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disorder associated with the presence of endometrial cells mainly in the pelvic cavity, causing systemic immune inflammation, infertility, epigenetic dysregulation of differential DNA methylation, coelomic …
Subtle uterine lesions are abnormal intracavitary conditions that, while not causing significant anatomical changes, can adversely impact fertility. Identifying these "subtle" lesions is challenging due to arbitrary interpretation, varied management …
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis are widely recognized as significant risk factors affecting the reproductive health of women. The underlying mechanisms impacting fertility may vary, potentially leading to divergent …
Clitoria ternatea L. (CT) is a perennial herbaceous plant with deep blue flowers native to tropical Asia. This work explores the endometrial pain (EP) regulation of CT flower through a …
Autophagy is a cellular process crucial for maintaining homeostasis by degrading damaged proteins and organelles. It is stimulated in response to stress, recycling nutrients and generating energy for cell survival. …
HOXA10 belongs to the homeobox gene family and is essential for uterine biogenesis, endometrial receptivity, embryo implantation, and stromal cell decidualization. Available evidence suggests that the expression of HOXA10 is …
The GATA gene family encodes highly conserved zinc-finger transcription factors that facilitate the development and function of multiple organ systems including the uterus. In the endometrium, GATA2 functions in a …
