ENDOMETRIOSIS AND ENDOMETRIAL POLYPS CO-OCCURRENCE IN INDIVIDUALS NOT SEEKING PREGNANCY: A CASE-CONTROL STUDY.
Endometriosis and endometrial polyps are both estrogen-dependent conditions, and an association between these two pathologies has been observed in infertile women. Our research question was: "Is there an association between …
Predicting superficial peritoneal endometriosis in symptomatic women with negative examination and imaging.
To develop a predictive risk score for superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SPE) in patients with negative examination and imaging based on symptoms and quality of life measures DESIGN: Multicenter nested case-control …
Endobiota-Estrobolome Profiles in Reproductive-Aged Women With Ovarian Endometriosis.
This case-control study investigated whether ovarian endometriosis is associated with altered estrogen metabolism and gut or urogenital microbiota by analyzing enzyme activity, bacterial composition, and variations of estrogen metabolites in …
Effects of adenomyosis and endomyometrial junctional zone on spontaneous preterm labor : a case-control study.
Spontaneous preterm labor (SPL) is a significant obstetric concern, and recent literature suggests an association with adenomyosis. In this study, we compared adenomyosis and endomyometrial junctional zone (JZ) in women …
Insights from an observational matched case-control study on the association between endometriosis and benign uterine disorders in infertile patients.
The link between endometriosis and other medical conditions is gaining attention. Such insights could enhance clinical approaches to manage the disease and potentially reveal new, unrecognized mechanisms of its development. …
Stage-Related Changes in TGF-β Isoforms in PBMC Culture Supernatants in Endometriosis: A Prospective Case-Control Study.
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 …
Comparative analysis of DNA methyltransferase 3 alpha and miR-29b expression in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissues from endometriosis patients compared to healthy controls: A case-control study.
Epigenetic mechanisms, particularly the roles of DNA methylation and microRNAs, are increasingly recognized in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. DNA methyltransferase 3 (DNMT3) alpha, an important DNA methyltransferase, and miR-29b, a …
