BACKGROUND: A women's chances of getting pregnant decreases in cases of infertility, which may have several clinical etiologies. The prevalence of infertility is estimated as 10-15% worldwide. One of the causes of infertility is endometrios…

BACKGROUND: The quality of life (QoL) of patients with endometriosis and infertility was assessed in different stages and correlated with the clinical features of the cases. METHODS: The present study was a cross-sectional study; 106 women …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease with an unknown pathogenesis that can lead to infertility. Endometrial polyps, fibroids, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have relatively high frequency and are causes of infertility. We hypothes…

Descrever o perfil epidemiológico e clínico de pacientes inférteis com endometriose. Estudo transversal que avaliou 450 prontuários de mulheres que procuraram tratamentos de reprodução assistida entre outubro de 2006 e maio de 2012. Analisa…

Background and aimsConsidering the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in endometriosis formation and progression and the similarities concerning the association of endometriosis with tumorigenesis and metastasis, we hypothes…

ObjectiveTo consider a possible cumulative effect of two genetic polymorphisms (FOXP3 C-2383T/rs3761549 and FCRL3 C-169T/rs7528684) that were previously shown to be associated with endometriosis.DesignGenetic association study.SettingHuman …

An autoimmune aetiology has been suggested for endometriosis mostly on the basis of an increased prevalence of autoimmune diseases in affected women. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA) 4 gene is recognized as a primary determinant for au…

ObjectiveTo evaluate FOXP3 polymorphisms (rs3761549, rs3761548, rs2232368, rs2232366, and rs2280883) in a group of infertile women with and without endometriosis and controls.DesignCase control study.SettingHuman Reproduction Outpatient Cli…

PURPOSE: to evaluate the frequency of VDR gene polymorphism Fok1 in infertile women with endometriosis and Control and its relation to the disease. METHODS: a case-control study that included 147 infertile women with endometriosis and 154 f…

An aberrant immunologic mechanism has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Genetic alterations in the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) may lead to important defects in gene activation that principally affect immu…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the evolution of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in women with recurrent ovarian endometriomas treated with sclerotherapy. METHODS: Twenty-one patients with a laparoscopic diagnosis of stage III or IV endometriosi…

An aberrant immunologic mechanism has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Fc receptor-like 3 gene (FCRL3) has been proposed as a novel autoimmune predisposing factor. The authors have hypothesized a possible …

An aberrant immunological mechanism is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between endometriosis and/or infertility and the FCRL3 C-169T polymorph…

ObjectivesTo determine whether the combination of PR (PROGINS), ERβ G+1730A and/or LHβ G1502A polymorphisms in infertile women with and without endometriosis and in a control group increases the risk of infertility and/or endometriosis.Stud…

OBJETIVO: avaliar a frequência e o quadro clínico de pacientes com endometriose incisional. MÉTODOS: estudo retrospectivo descritivo a partir da revisão de prontuários de pacientes submetidas à ressecção de nódulos em cicatriz cirúrgica na …

AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate urokinase-type plasminogen activator gene (uPA) and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor gene (TAFI) genotypes in a group of infertile women with and/or without endometriosis and controls. …

Estrogens are important factors in the development of endometriosis, and can induce cell proliferation and stimulate cell division. COMT constitutes a crucial element in estrogen metabolism and has been suggested to be involved in the devel…

PURPOSE: to evaluate the frequency and clinical picture of patients with incisional endometriosis. METHODS: retrospective descriptive study performed from the medical records of patients that underwent nodules resection in the surgical scar…
