To demonstrate, using actual insurance data, that benign pelvic conditions are associated with increased healthcare costs and that these costs increase further with each additional coexisting benign pelvic diagnoses.
Female infertility, affecting millions worldwide, involves complex molecular mechanisms such as chronic inflammation, impaired cellular death, and protein regulation. This study explores how the cytokine IL-6, the autophagy marker LC3, …
The objective was to assess outcomes of robotic-assisted transvaginal natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (RA-vNOTES) performed for hysterectomy and endometriosis excision. We conducted a retrospective case series across two hospitals …
Autophagy is a highly conserved cellular process crucial for maintaining cellular homeostasis by degrading damaged organelles and misfolded proteins. Emerging evidence highlights its pivotal role in endometrial diseases, including endometriosis, …
Ovarian endometriosis (OE), characterized by endometriotic cysts, adversely affects ovarian function and comprises in vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) outcomes. Acupoint application therapy (AAT), which integrates transdermal drug delivery …
Background/Objectives: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic gynecological condition associated with infertility, oxidative stress, and altered metabolic regulation. Follicular fluid (FF) reflects the microenvironment of the developing oocyte, and changes in …
While infections have been implicated in endometriosis pathogenesis, the role of human papillomavirus (HPV) remains unclear. This study combined a meta-analysis of seven studies with a case-control study ( n …
Acute non-traumatic pelvic pain represents a frequent and complex diagnostic dilemma in pre-menopausal females presenting to the emergency department due to overlapping symptomatology across pregnancy and non-pregnancy related causes. Radiologists …
Ferroptosis is a novel kind of regulated cell death that occurs when redox equilibrium is disrupted, leading to iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is defined by the buildup of deleterious lipid …
