Diminished ovarian reserve (DOR) is common in women with infertility and is associated with poorer in vitro fertilization (IVF) outcomes. Testosterone is widely used off-label in this patient group, although evidence for its efficacy and sa…

Abstract Study question Does the presence of adenomyosis impact the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing frozen embryo transfer (FET)? Summary answer Presence of adenomyosis is associated with higher miscarriage and lower clinical pregn…

(1) Background: The presence of adenomyosis among pregnant patients has been associated with a higher incidence of miscarriage and pregnancy complications. Although the role of adenomyosis in women undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF) wa…

To evaluate reproductive results of patients presenting adenomyosis under Morphological Uterus Sonographic Assessment (MUSA) criteria who underwent assisted reproductive techniques (ART) using oocyte donation or preimplantation genetic test…

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical Machine Learning (ML) models trained with ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of endometriotic bowel involvement.Materials and methodsInput data to t…

To determine the pooled recurrence rate of benign adnexal masses/cysts (namely simple cyst, endometrioma, hydrosapinx, peritoneal cyst) after transvaginal ultrasound-guided aspiration, with or without sclerotherapy. A search of studies publ…

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the reproducibility of ultrasonographic (US) findings of rectosigmoid endometriosis among examiners with different level of expertise using stored three-dimensional (3D) volumes of the posterior compartment of the pelv…

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical machine learning (ML) models trained with ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of endometriosis of uterosacral ligaments. Input data to the models was retrieved…

The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical machine learning (ML) models trained with ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of forniceal endometriotic involvement. Input data to the models was retrieved fr…

Two main theories have been proposed to explain the origin of adenomyosis. The first theory postulated that adenomyosis results from invagination of the endometrial basalis into the myometrium as a repair mechanism after injury. Alternative…

Research questionDoes the presence of ovarian endometriomas affect ovarian response to ovarian stimulation after adjusting for age and ovarian reserve markers?DesignThis retrospective cross-sectional study compared the ovarian response betw…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of ultrasound (US) soft markers to raise suspicion of uterosacral involvement in women suspected of having deep endometriosis. We included in this prospective observational study all patients wi…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of ultrasound (US) soft markers as a first-line imaging tool to raise suspicion of forniceal involvement in women suspected of having deep endometriosis. We included in this prospective observat…

To analyse the reproducibility of ultrasonographic (US) findings of rectosigmoid endometriosis among examiners with different level of expertise using stored 3D volumes of posterior compartment of the pelvis as a part of SANABA (Sardinia-Na…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of deep endometriosis in patients without suspicion of endometrioma using an imaging technique as ultrasonography (US). We included in this observational study all patients with less than …

the aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of seven classical machine learning models of ultrasound (US) soft markers in raising suspicion of bowel involvement using a dataset with previously published results. The data driven strate…

According to the theory of retrograde menstruation, endometriosis would be due to the existence of Müllerian anomalies (MA) causing obstruction of the menstruation outflow tract. The aim of the present study to describe endometriosis findin…

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of ultrasound (US) soft markers as a first-line imaging tool to raise suspicion of rectosigmoid (RS) involvement in women suspected of having deep endometriosis. METHODS: We included…

STUDY QUESTION: What is the impact on live birth rates (LBR) when a donor IUI (dIUI) cycle is performed with an insemination volume of 0.5 mL versus the usual 0.2 mL? SUMMARY ANSWER: LBR after a dIUI cycle is no different when performed wi…

OBJECTIVE: To assess the learning curves of trainees during a structured offline/hands-on training program for the ultrasonographic diagnosis of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). METHODS: Four trainees (all Ob/Gyn postgraduates with at…

The association between endometriotic ovarian cysts (EOC) and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is well known, although DIE is still often under diagnosed. The objective of this study is to evaluate the performance of transvaginal ultra…

Due to the high sensitivity and specificity reported, the detection rate of rectosigmoid (RS) endometriosis by an ultrasonographic (US) evaluation of an expert have to be considered a gold standard comparable to laparoscopy. No information …

To assess if a structured off-line training program improves diagnostic performance of gynecologist in evaluation of patients with deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). A two week training program was conducted. One day was devoted to theo…
