Endometriosis, a complex gynecological disorder characterized by aberrant growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity, poses a significant challenge to women's health. Emerging evidence implicates environmental pollutants, particularly di-(2-ethylhexyl) …
Aim: The aim of the study was to synthesize validated patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) for assessing health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with endometriosis and to outline their clinical …
Endometriosis-associated pain has debilitating effects on the quality of life of patients. Despite its high prevalence in reproductive-aged women, the pathophysiology is still unknown, impeding the development of targeted treatment …
Endometriosis is a chronic gynecologic disease of reproductive-age women, causing menstrual pain and infertility. Endocrine and inflammatory mechanisms drive its development, with estrogen/progesterone imbalance contributing to extrauterine implantation and persistence …
Endometriosis is a chronic disorder characterized by abnormal endometrial tissue growth. This study evaluates a novel combination immunomodulatory treatment involving etanercept (ETN) and exosomes derived from human Wharton's jelly mesenchymal …
Endometriosis is a disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrium, mainly within the peritoneal cavity, and is associated with the development of inflammation due to cyclic endometrial alterations. The …
Glutamic acid decarboxylase (GAD) is vital for gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) synthesis. Auto-antibodies against GAD deplete GAD levels and subsequently GABA, resulting in a hyper-excitatory state. A 41-year-old woman with anti-GAD …
This study investigates the role of allograft inflammatory factor 1 (AIF-1) in regulating the proliferation, invasion, and migration of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) in the context of endometriosis, focusing on …
Endometriosis and uterine fibroids are estrogen-dependent gynecological disorders with an increasing burden to women's health worldwide. Despite overlapping symptoms and long-term consequences, the magnitude of their co-occurrence remains unclear.
Most clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for assessing and managing people's chronic pain focus on specific pain conditions, body sites or life course stages. This creates complexity for clinicians making care …
