We aim to investigate the expression of genes (MAPK1 and CAPN2) and microRNAs (miR-30a-5p, miR-7-5p, miR-143-3p, and miR-93-5p) involved in adhesion and apoptosis pathways in superficial peritoneal endometriosis (SE), deep infiltrating endo…

Endometriosis is responsible for pain symptoms with great impact on the patient's quality of life. Several medication lines have been studied aiming at its definitive treatment. Among them, angiogenesis inhibitor factors may be effective gi…

PurposeQualitative research has received growing attention in the multidisciplinary investigation of patients' perceptions about chronic diseases. The purpose of this systematic review was to characterize the usage of qualitative research i…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of strength exercises on remote pain sensitivity in women with endometriosis-related symptoms. DESIGN: A quasi-experimental study. SETTING: University Hospital, a tertiary health unit. SUBJECTS: Twenty-o…

Abstract Objective To analyze the effect of thalidomide on the progression of endometriotic lesions experimentally induced in rats and to characterize the pattern of cell proliferation by immunohistochemical Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antig…

OBJECTIVE: To characterize the patterns of cell differentiation, proliferation, and tissue invasion in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of rabbits with induced endometriotic lesions via a well- known experimental model, 4 and 8 weeks after t…

Abstract — Chronic pelvic pain is a common clinical condition with negative consequences for many aspects of women’s life. The clinical presentation is heterogeneous and the involvement of several body systems impairs the identification of …

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of capsaicin receptor (transient receptor potential vanilloid type 1 [TRPV1]) in the peritoneal endometriosis foci of women with and without chronic pelvic pain (CPP).MethodsA case-control study was co…

ObjectiveTo document a rare case of endometriosis in the soleus and gastrocnemius muscles.DesignCase report.SettingTertiary care center.Patient(s)A 30-year-old fertile woman presented with moderate dysmenorrhea associated with calf pain and…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of capsaicin receptor [transient receptor potential vanilloid type-1 (TRPV1)] in the peritoneum of women with chronic pelvic pain (CPP). METHODS: A case-control study was conducted on 25 women with …

ObjectiveTo characterize the pattern of cell proliferation and apoptosis of eutopic and ectopic endometrium in rabbits after endometrium implantation for the experimental induction of endometriosis.DesignAnimal experimental study.SettingSec…

CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: One of the diagnostic markers of endometriosis is CA-125, and elevated levels of this are caused by high concentrations in the ectopic endometrium. The objective of this study was to correlate CA-125 levels in serum a…
