Mechanisms of reproductive toxicity and endocrine disruption of bisphenols and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS): Implications for women's reproductive health.

Bisphenols and per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are ubiquitous environmental endocrine-disrupting chemicals with widespread human exposure and growing concern regarding their reproductive toxicity. This review integrates current experimental and epidemiologic …

Prevalence, predictors, and clinical relevance of drug-drug interactions in outpatient prescribing: A national cross-sectional study.

Drug-drug interactions (DDIs) represent a major preventable cause of medication-related harm globally. Their prevalence varies across health systems, but common drivers include polypharmacy, aging populations, and specialty-specific prescribing patterns. Large-scale …

Unusual presentation of endometriosis as a large tubo-ovarian abscess posing a diagnostic challenge.

Tubo-ovarian abscess (TOA) is a severe complication of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), but it can also occur in women without prior PID or sexually transmitted infections. Recent studies suggest that …

Opioids for management of endometriosis associated pain: balancing effectiveness and quality of life.

Prenatal bisphenol A exposure reprograms SF1-lactylation pathways to promote endometriosis susceptibility.

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent disorder influenced by dysregulated steroidogenesis, oxidative stress, and inflammation. Bisphenol A (BPA), a common endocrine disruptor, has been associated with reproductive dysfunction, but its developmental impacts …

Genetically-predicted placental gene expression links to uterine fibroids and endometriosis.

Mother-to-child disease transmission begins in utero, with the placenta playing a critical role in pregnancy and offspring health. Uterine leiomyomata (fibroids, UFs) and endometriosis (ENDO) are common gynecologic diseases that …

Surgical management of ovarian endometrioma in a patient with fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva: a case report.

Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP) is an ultra-rare (prevalence ~ 1:2 million), devastating genetic disorder characterized by progressive heterotopic ossification. Crucially, surgical trauma is a potent trigger for catastrophic new bone …

Reproductive Health Consequences of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances and Microplastics in Mid-life Women: A Systematic Review of Emerging Evidence.

Mid-life women are increasingly recognized as a vulnerable population for endocrine disruption due to chronic environmental exposures. Among emerging contaminants, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and microplastics have been implicated …

Differences in epigenetic age acceleration according to a diagnosis of endometriosis/adenomyosis: the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Cohort Study.

Women with endometriosis and adenomyosis have an increased risk of age-dependent diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Whether this reflects differences in biological age is unknown.

Surgically Relative Risk Factors for Lower Colorectal Anastomotic Dehiscence and Rectovaginal Fistulas in Complex Deep Endometriosis Cases: A Single-Center Retrospective-Prospective Cohort Study.

Background: Bowel surgery is a key component of advanced deep endometriosis management, with anastomotic leakage representing the most serious postoperative complication. This study aimed to identify risk factors for dehiscence …
