To assess the impact of complex disease states, including pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration and deep endometriosis (DE) of the bowel, on the diagnostic accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) for …
Background: An average time to diagnosis of 7 years is commonly described for endometriosis; diagnostic delay for adenomyosis is unknown. This cross-sectional study aimed to describe diagnostic delay for endometriosis …
Background: Polypoid endometriosis is a rare variant of endometriosis that presents as a tumorous mass, making it difficult to differentiate it from a malignant tumor. It usually occurs in perimenopausal …
The menstrual cycle induces a wide range of physiological changes in the skin and its appendages, often overlooked in dermatologic practice. Catamenial dermatoses, influenced by hormonal fluctuations, present with cyclical …
A 44-year-old woman with biopsy-proven endometriosis underwent 68Ga-FAPI-04 PET/CT. MRI revealed bilateral ovarian endometriomas, uterine adenomyosis, and deep pelvic endometriotic lesions. FAPI PET/CT demonstrated concordant uptake in deep infiltrating lesions …
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 …
Accurate diagnosis of pathology from ultrasound images is reliant upon images of a suitable diagnostic quality being acquired. This study aimed to create a novel machine learning model to automatically …
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 …
Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent disease characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue growing outside the uterus. The molecular and clinical heterogeneity of endometriosis complicate diagnostic and treatment options -- …
Endometriosis affects about 10% of reproductive-aged women, characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, leading to chronic inflammation. The exact cause remains unknown, though genetic and epigenetic factors are increasingly …
