Endometriosis is a common, inflammatory condition impacting 200 million women and those assigned female at birth, where 25-40% experience infertility. Ovarian endometriosis is known to decrease anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH) levels …
Neonatal uterine bleeding (NUB) has been hypothesized as a relatively common early-life event potentially linked to the later development of endometriosis through retrograde menstruation. However, its true prevalence and biological …
Endometriosis, despite its high prevalence, is underdiagnosed and poorly managed due to lack of clinically validated biomarkers and pathophysiological insight. Menstrual blood-derived stem cells have been implicated in disease pathogenesis, …
Massive abdominal wall defects resulting from radical abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) resection present a major reconstructive challenge. This study aims to assess feasibility and short-term safety of a standardized retromuscular-onlay …
Current models of endometriosis (EMs) still have limitations in replicating the key pathological features of human EMs, particularly the cyclic bleeding associated with ectopic lesions. To address this gap, this …
Deep infiltrating endometriosis and oncologic radical pelvic surgeries pose a significant risk of nerve damage. A thorough understanding of pelvic anatomy is essential for surgical precision and to avoid neurological …
Menstruation has long been framed primarily as a hygiene issue, with mainstream products and public messaging emphasizing concealment and disposal of menstrual blood (MB). This has contributed to a culture …
Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease in which transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) has been implicated in immune dysregulation, extracellular matrix remodeling, and fibrosis. Data on baseline secretion of TGF-β isoforms …
Background/Objectives: The diagnosis of endometriosis (EM) remains challenging due to the lack of a perfect diagnostic standard and the poor concordance between clinical symptoms and lesion severity. Although laparoscopy is …
Effective utilization of perioperative blood transfusions can reduce costs and minimize blood waste. This study aimed to audit the appropriateness of current blood utilization practices in gynecological surgeries, characterize transfusion …
