BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease known to be detrimental to fertility. Women with endometriosis, and the presence of endometrioma, may require artificial reproductive techniques (ART) to achieve a pregnancy. The specific impact of end…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association of endometriosis on assisted reproductive technology (ART) outcomes and to review if surgical treatment of endometriosis before ART affects the outcomes. DATA SOURCES: We searched studies published …
It is a truth universally acknowledged that the main symptoms of endometriosis are pelvic pain and, to a lesser extent, infertility and fatigue.1 ,2 These symptoms affect an estimated 176 million women worldwide.3 What is less frequently a…
Endometriosis is a complex disease that affects a large number of women of reproductive age and imposes a significant burden on patients and society. The aim of this study was to evaluate diagnosis, comorbidities, healthcare resource use, t…
BACKGROUND: This study aimed to calculate costs and health-related quality of life of women with endometriosis-associated symptoms treated in referral centres. METHODS: A prospective, multi-centre, questionnaire-based survey measured costs …
AIMS: The EndoCost study aims to calculate the costs of endometriosis from a societal perspective. METHODS: This multicentre, prevalence-based cost-of-illness analysis aggregates data on endometriosis costs and quality of life from a prospe…
Olfactomedin-4 (OLFM-4) is an extracellular matrix protein that is highly expressed in human endometrium. We have examined the regulation and function of OLFM-4 in normal endometrium and in cases of endometriosis and endometrial cancer. OLF…
CONTEXT: substantial evidence suggests that the expression of steroid metabolizing enzymes in endometriosis is altered, turning the ectopic endometrium into a source of 17beta-estradiol. However, whether these differences result in a net in…
Disorders of estrogen-responsive tissues are frequently associated with aberrations in steroid metabolism due to altered expression of synthesizing and metabolizing enzymes. For instance, overexposure to unopposed 17beta-estradiol has been …
BACKGROUND: Estradiol (E(2)) is an important promoter of the growth of both eutopic and ectopic endometrium. The findings with regard to the expression and activity of steroidogenic enzymes in endometrium of controls, in endometrium of endo…
To identify specific markers of rectovaginal endometriotic nodule vasculature, highly enriched preparations of vascular endothelial cells and pericytes were obtained from endometriotic nodules and control endometrial and myometrial tissue b…
The objective was to develop recommendations for the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis and its associated symptoms. A working group was convened comprised of practising gynaecologists and experts in evidence-based medicine from Europ…
