Endometriosis in Carriers of a Pathogenic Variant in BRCA1 or BRCA2: A Descriptive Analysis of a Large Multicentral BRCA Carrier Cohort.

Background: Endometriosis affects an estimated 10% of reproductive-aged women and is associated with increased ovarian cancer risk. While BRCA1/2 mutations are established risk factors for ovarian cancer, their association with …

Expert transvaginal ultrasound is determinant for diagnosing pelvic conditions after recurrent implantation failure in IVF.

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) is a clinical phenomenon characterized by a lack of implantation after several embryo-transfers. The aim of this study was to evaluate missing pelvic pathologies in patients …

Biochemical Heterogeneity of Endometriosis Phenotypes Revealed by FTIR Analysis.

Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to investigate molecular differences among peritoneal, ovarian, bowel endometriosis phenotypes and control tissues. Peritoneal lesions showed the most pronounced spectral changes in CH-stretching (2800-3000 …

Intraperitoneal translocation of gut microbiota induces NETosis and promotes endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a debilitating gynaecological disorder with an elusive pathogenesis. While gut microbiota dysbiosis has been implicated, the causal role of gut-peritoneum microbial translocation and the specific mechanisms driving disease …

Gene Polymorphisms Determining Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin Levels and Endometriosis Risk.

Endometriosis is a hormone-dependent disease, in the pathophysiology of which sex hormones (androgens, estrogens, etc.) are involved. The level of bioactive androgens/estrogens (in the free state) in the organism largely …

Double Trouble: A Rare Clinical Presentation of Bladder and Umbilical Endometriosis.

Endometriosis is a common condition among women where tissue resembling the uterine lining grows outside the uterus. This misplaced tissue can develop in several areas, including the peritoneum, pouch of …

Deep endometriosis: evaluation of ENZIAN and #ENZIAN classification systems by MRI compared with surgery-a meta-analysis.

To assess the reproducibility and the diagnostic accuracy of MRI for the assessment of (#)ENZIAN classification in patients with deep endometriosis by means of a meta-analysis.

Uterine artery S/D ratio and serum CA125 as predictors of early pregnancy loss in women with ovarian endometriomas: a retrospective case-control study.

Endometriosis affects approximately 10% of women of reproductive age and is associated with increased risks of infertility and miscarriage. Although the spontaneous miscarriage rate in women with endometriosis is higher …

Can hematological and biochemical parameters clinically predict the diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis?

Exploring the impact of dietary theobromine on endometriosis risk: Evidence from Mendelian randomization and NHANES data.

Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory estrogen-dependent inflammatory disorder. Theobromine has been implicated in diverse health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and vasodilatory properties. However, the precise association between theobromine and endometriosis remains …
