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…
Ectopic pregnancy (EP) occurs when the embryo fails to transit to the uterus and attach to the luminal epithelium of the Fallopian tube (FT). Tubal EP is a common gynecological emergency and more than 95% of EP occurs in the ampullary regio…
Fallopian tube (FT) and endometrial urocortin 1 (Ucn1) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH)-receptor (CRH-R1/CRH-R2) expression were examined using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and immunohistochemistry in n…
Progestins have a valuable role in the treatment of the painful symptoms associated with endometriosis and should be considered a first-line therapy. They are comparable in efficacy to other medical approaches, such as estrogen-containing p…
Tubal ectopic pregnancy (EP) is the most common cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester of pregnancy; however, its etiology is uncertain. In EP, embryo retention within the Fallopian tube (FT) is thought to be due to impaired smo…
ObjectiveTo demonstrate expression and regulation of prokineticins (PROKs) and their receptors (PROKRs) in fallopian tube (FT) from women who are not pregnant and women with ectopic pregnancy (EP).DesignTissue analysis.SettingLarge United K…
OBJECTIVE: To establish a novel serum marker for endometriosis, serum autoantibodies (autoAbs) were investigated using a proteomic approach.DESIGN: Retrospective study.SETTING: Departments of Molecular Pathology and Obstetrics and Gynecolog…
ContextSex steroid hormone receptor (SHR) dynamics are well-documented in human endometrium but have not been comprehensively studied in Fallopian tube (FT).ObjectiveThe aim of the study was to compare expression patterns and hormonal regul…
BACKGROUND: Embryo retention in the Fallopian tube (FT) is thought to lead to ectopic pregnancy (EP), a considerable cause of morbidity. In mice, genetic/pharmacological silencing of cannabinoid receptor Cnr1, encoding CB1, causes retention…
