Endometriosis, psoriasis, and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) are chronic inflammatory disorders whose etiologies remain poorly understood but may be correlated, as endometriosis has been associated with other inflammatory disorders. We investiga…

Research questionWhat is the association between endometrioma-affected ovaries, their follicular fluid inflammatory microenvironment, and ovary-specific oocyte and embryo yield and quality?DesignExposure-matched prospective cohort study con…

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a novel model for providing minimally invasive surgical (MIS) care to underserved populations. Design: A prospective pilot study with patients affected by diverse benign pathologies of th…

Study objectiveTo determine the fertility benefit of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation (COH) and intrauterine insemination (IUI) in surgically treated endometriosis.DesignRetrospective cohort study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2…

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease defined by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and is associated with infertility. An aberrant molecular phenotype of the eutopic endometrium in women with endometri…

Increasing evidence suggests that female infertility is associated with endometriosis. Indeed, 40% of women with this disease are infertile. However, a causal relationship has not yet been established, and the possible pathophysiology of in…

BackgroundThere is increasing evidence that oxidative stress is one of the key factors for progression of endometriosis. In this prospective controlled trial, we measured 6 different biomarkers of oxidative stress targeting protein, lipid, …

Oxidative stress is associated with many disease states including gynecologic disease. This process can damage lipids, proteins and DNA. The present study highlights the role of oxidative stress induced DNA damage as measured by 8-hydroxy-2…

Endometriosis, a highly prevalent gynecological disease, can lead to infertility in moderate to severe cases. Whether minimal stages are associated with infertility is still unclear. The purpose of this systematic review is to present studi…

PurposeSince the first description about oxygen toxicity made by Joseph Priestley, the oxidative stress has been enrolled as a key factor in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Our aim was to review oxidative stress biomarkers measured in pa…
