Accurate diagnosis of upper-tract urothelial carcinoma is difficult when urine cytology and ureteroscopy are inconclusive. A 59-year-old woman had undergone total hysterectomy for uterine endometrioid carcinoma 5 years earlier. Follow-up co…

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are present in body fluids and act as disease biomarkers. Emerging evidence has proven that EVs are released not only from mammalian cells but also from bacteria. Ovarian cancer has a dismal prognosis because of…

Endometriosis is hypothesized to result from retrograde menstruation where cell debris including endometrial stromal cells (ESCs) travel through the fallopian tubes. This chronic inflammatory disease is characterized by inflammatory and fib…

Objective: To elucidate the incidence, risk factors, and clinical characteristics of uterine torsion in pregnancies complicated by adenomyosis, which remains unstudied to date. Design: Retrospective cohort study. Setting: University Hospita…
