Characterization of endometriosis in patients with Mullerian anomalies using the Enzian classification: A retrospective cohort study.
Mullerian anomalies are frequently associated with endometriosis, particularly in the presence of genital tract obstruction; however, the anatomical distribution and determinants of disease in this population remain incompletely characterized. Most …
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 …
CSF3R signalling beyond granulopoiesis: new paradigms in female reproductive biology.
The Colony-Stimulating Factor 3 Receptor (CSF3R), the receptor for granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF), has expanded from a hematopoietic regulator to a multifunctional signalling molecule with significant relevance in gynaecological biology. …
Prediction of endometrial tissue PFAS concentrations using serum levels, demographic, and reproductive factors: Findings from the Investigating Mixtures of Pollutants and Endometriosis in Tissue (IMPLANT) study.
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) accumulate in reproductive tissues, yet most studies rely on serum measurements. It remains unclear whether serum concentrations adequately reflect levels in target tissues. We evaluated …
Malignant Transformation of Endometriosis: A Rare Case of Extrauterine Endometrial Stromal Sarcoma.
Endometrial stromal sarcoma (ESS) is an extremely uncommon uterine malignancy, and commonly arises from preexisting endometriosis. On rare occasions, ESS arises from extrauterine tissues and is known as extra-uterine ESS. …
Development and Initial Psychometric Testing of a Patient-Reported Clinical Tool for Endometriosis: The Mobility Measure for Endometriosis (MobEndo).
Background: Women with endometriosis frequently experience mobility limitations that affect daily functioning. A specific tool to assess these restrictions would help clinicians to better understand patients' functional challenges, facilitating more …
