This report describes a 59-year-old woman with a history of malignancy and post-tuberculosis lung disease complicated by chronic cavitary pulmonary aspergillosis. She was admitted with worsening hemoptysis and underwent bronchial artery emb…

BACKGROUND: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) impose significant clinical and economic burdens on healthcare systems globally. Patients in obstetrics and gynecology face unique vulnerabilities; however, population-specif…

BACKGROUND: The impact of serum vitamin D levels on the success of assisted reproductive technology (ART) among women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) has not been fully explored. METHODS: This cohort study enrolled 111 patients with …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is highly prevalent but remains under-researched. This study, using the latest data, aims to provide a comprehensive assessment of the burden of endometriosis on a global scale. METHODS: Based on data from the Glo…

Performing robotic hysterectomy (RH) on large uteri is a significant challenge. This study aims to investigate the impact of various risk factors on surgical outcomes and to identify the most effective surgical approach for performing RH on…

INTRODUCTION AND HYPOTHESIS: As interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) likely represents multiple pathophysiologies, we sought to validate three clinical phenotypes of IC/BPS patients in a large, multi-center cohort using unsu…

Endometriosis is a common disease in the field of gynaecology, exhibiting clinical manifestations such as dysmenorrhoea, pelvic masses, and infertility, affecting 2-10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Currently, the acceptance rate …

Endometriosis is a common disease in the field of gynaecology, exhibiting clinical manifestations such as dysmenorrhoea, pelvic masses, and infertility, affecting 2–10% of women of reproductive age worldwide. Currently, the acceptance rate …

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Female fertility is a heterogeneous condition of complete psychosocial and physical well-being. Observational studies have revealed that women with infertility have varying degrees of poor mental status and lifestyle ch…

Increasing evidence has verified the indispensable effect of microRNAs (miRNAs) in the biological processes of human diseases, including endometriosis. hsa-miR-340-5p was reported to display a low level in patients with endometriosis, but t…

Endometriosis (EMs) is one of the most frequent diseases of reproductive-age women and is characterized by the growth of endometrial tissues beyond the uterus. The enhanced proliferative and migratory potential of endometrial stromal cells …

Endometriosis (EMS) is a prevalent disease in women characterized by the presence of endometrial stroma and glands outside the uterus. Recent studies have showed that EMS is correlated with the resistance of endometrial stromal cells (ESCs)…

Introduction: Combined malonic and methylmalonic aciduria (CMAMMA) is a rare metabolic disease caused by biallelic variants in ACSF3 gene. The clinical phenotype is highly heterogeneous in this disorder, ranging from asymptomatic to severe …

PURPOSE: The etiology and pathophysiology of endometriosis remain unclear. Current research indicates long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) may play an important role in the pathogenesis and development of endometriosis. However, the molecular mechan…

Abstract Endometriosis (EMs) is one of the most frequent diseases in reproductive age women, characterized by the growth of endometrial tissues beyond the uterus. Enhanced proliferative and migratory potential of endometrial stromal cells (…

Estrogen therapy is widely used as a supplementary treatment after hysteroscopy for female infertility patients owing to its protective function that improves endometrial regeneration and menstruation, inhibits recurrent adhesions, and impr…

OBJECTIVES: To detect the involvement of immune cells in the pathogenesis of endometriosis in patients with stable status or pelvic pain. METHODS: Blood was collected from patients with endometriosis with and without pelvic pain. Natural k…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Mitochondrial homeostasis is implicated in the development and progression of endometriosis through poorly defined mechanisms. Mst1 is the major growth suppressor related to cancer migration, apoptosis and proliferation. Ho…

BACKGROUND: The etiology and pathophysiology of endometriosis remain unclear. Accumulating evidence suggests that aberrant microRNA (miRNA) and transcription factor (TF) expression may be involved in the pathogenesis and development of endo…

The etiology and pathophysiology of endometriosis remain unclear. The aim of the current study was to identify a candidate pathogenic gene, as well as potential biomarkers of endometriosis using messenger RNA (mRNA) sequencing (mRNA-seq). T…

Primary dysmenorrhea (PD) is a common gynecological disorder which, while not life‑threatening, severely affects the quality of life of women. Most patients with PD suffer ovarian hormone imbalances caused by uterine contraction, which resu…

The PvuII (C > T), XbaI (A > G) and (TA)n polymorphisms of ESR1 gene are potentially associated with susceptibility to endometriosis. A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate comprehensively the associations between endometriosis and ESR1 …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disease with high prevalence, while its etiology and pathophysiology have remained to be fully elucidated. Previous evidence suggested that this disorder may be in part or completely of somatic origin…

AIM: To investigate whether intrinsic ureteral endometriosis could be managed by laser endoureterotomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We studied retrospectively 6 patients with intrinsic ureteral endometriosis who underwent laser endoureterotomy a…
