OBJECTIVE: To determine the future priorities for ectopic pregnancy research. DESIGN: Potential research questions were collated from an initial international survey, a systematic review of clinical practice guidelines, and Cochrane system…

BackgroundPelvic inflammatory disease (PID) affects 4% to 12% of women of reproductive age. The main intervention for acute PID is broad-spectrum antibiotics administered intravenously, intramuscularly or orally. We assessed the optimal tre…

Abstract STUDY QUESTION Is B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6 (BCL6) endometrial expression, a surrogate biomarker of endometriosis, elevated in women with unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (uRPL) and unexplained infertility (UI) compared to fertile …

BackgroundPelvic inflammatory disease (PID) is an infection that affects 4% to 12% of young women, and is one of the most common causes of morbidity in this age group. The main intervention for acute PID is the use of broad-spectrum antibio…

Intrauterine devices (IUDs) have been widely used to prevent pregnancies with great efficacy during decades. It has been demonstrated that IUD alters the endometrial gene expression, but there is no scientific data about how copper, a metal…

CONTEXT: Resveratrol has been used for the treatment of endometriosis. OBJECTIVE: To compare resveratrol (40 mg/d) with monophasic contraceptive pill (COC) to COC with placebo for the reduction of pain scores. DESIGN: A randomized clinical …

The objective of this study was to examine B-cell CLL/lymphoma 6 (BCL6) expression in human eutopic endometrium across the menstrual cycle in women with and without endometriosis and to establish a cutoff for future studies. This design was…

PURPOSE OF THE INVESTIGATION: To verify whether histologic confirmation of endometriosis impacts fertility outcomes. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Women with unexplained infertility (UI) underwent laparoscopic excision or ablation with CO2 laser …

ContextIn a previous microarray analysis, GRB2-associated binding protein 1 (GAB1), a docking protein closely related to the insulin receptor substrate, was down-regulated in endometrium of women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).Object…

Endometriosis affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age and 176 million women worldwide. The prevalence in women with infertility is between 30% and 50% but may be higher in women with pelvic pain, interstitial cystitis, or irritable b…

BackgroundThe pathophysiology of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is still unknown in 50% of the cases. Herein we measure the expression of beta3 integrin subunit, a well-known implantation marker, in women with or without RPL and correlate i…

Resveratrol is a natural phytoestrogen with antiproliferative properties present in red wine, grapes, and berries. Published reports on the effects of resveratrol in human endometrial function are limited. The objective of this study was to…

OBJECTIVE: To compare intraobserver and interobserver variation between traditional histological score (HSCORE) and digital HSCORE (D-HSCORE) performed by expert and naive researchers. STUDY DESIGN: Immunohistochemical analysis of beta3 int…
