PURPOSE: This study investigated the possibility of K469E (rs5498) and G241R (rs1799969) polymorphisms, in ICAM-1 gene, and G634C (rs1800796), in IL-6 gene, being associated with the occurrence of endometriosis in a sample of Brazilian wome…

We report a case of uterine artery rupture in a woman at 14 weeks' gestation who presented with abdominal pain, tachycardia, and hypotension and underwent a diagnostic laparoscopy. During this procedure, a spontaneous rupture of the left ut…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a prevalent disease that affects 5-15 % of women of reproductive age. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of dienogest in the treatment of endometriosis. METHODS: The search was applied to electronic dat…

OBJECTIVE: despite endometriosis being a common disease, where early detection is key to preventing its progression, it is a condition often overlooked in adolescents. The aim of this study was to report the clinical characteristics of adol…
