Estrogen stimulates corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) expression in endometrial tissue, and CRH signaling contributes to inflammation and pain, suggesting a mechanistic role in endometriosis pathophysiology. We previously identified elevated CRH receptor-1 …
Background: Endometriosis is traditionally conceptualized as a localized gynecological disorder characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue. However, high recurrence rates following apparently complete surgical excision challenge this lesion-based …
Catamenial pneumothorax (CP) is a rare form of recurrent spontaneous pneumothorax occurring synchronously with menstruation and represents the most common manifestation of thoracic endometriosis. CP predominantly involves the right hemithorax …
Endometriosis is a chronic pain condition that affects >190 million people worldwide. It is recommended in clinical guidelines to remove the most common type of endometriosis, 'superficial peritoneal endometriosis' (SPE), …
Endometriosis is a common, inflammatory condition impacting 200 million women and those assigned female at birth, where 25-40% experience infertility. Ovarian endometriosis is known to decrease anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels …
The canal of Nuck cyst is a rare pathology seen in women in the inguinal canal. It is often mistaken for a hernia or a lipoma; however, diagnosis is confirmed …
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 …
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 …
Endometriosis, a chronic disease that affects about 10% of women of reproductive age, is characterized by severe pain and growth of endometrium-like tissues outside the uteri. Although several theories have …
