Endometriosis is a common problem affecting 5-10% of women of childbearing age. It is a condition with unknown pathology, leaving us with several theories. However, about half of women with endometriosis complain of difficulty conceiving. T…

Purpose In a series of publications, we had developed the concept that uterine adenomyosis and pelvic endometriosis as well as endometriotic lesions at distant sites of the body share a common pathophysiology with endometriosis constituting…

Pelvic endometriosis, deeply infiltrating endometriosis and uterine adenomyosis share a common pathophysiology and may be integrated into the physiological mechanism and new nosological concept of 'tissue injury and repair' (TIAR) and may, …

Pelvic endometriosis, deeply infiltrating endometriosis, and uterine adenomyosis share a common pathophysiology and may be integrated into the physiological mechanism and new nosological concept of “tissue injury and repair” and may, in thi…

The major authors of the last century described endometriosis as ectopic endometrial lesions occurring both in the uterus and in the peritoneal cavity, and the lesions were considered as variants of the same disease process. In the 1920s a …

INTRODUCTION: This study presents a unifying concept of the pathophysiology of endometriosis and adenomyosis. In particular, a physiological model is proposed that provides a comprehensive explanation of the local production of estrogen at …

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) allows the diagnosis of adenomyosis in vivo with a high sensitivity and specificity. Usually the diagnosis of adenomyosis is obtained from women in their fourth to fifth decade of life. However, recent data …

ObjectiveEnlargement of the junctional zone (JZ) on T2-weighted resonance imaging of the uterus has recently been established as the major criterion for adenomyosis in patients with endometriosis. This study was conducted to analyse the ext…

Rhythmic peristaltic contractions of the muscular wall of the non-pregnant uterus, as well as rapid sperm transport from the vagina to the Fallopian tubes, have long been documented by means of vaginal sonography and hysterosalpingoscintigr…

Einleitung: Gewebeproben von peritonealer Endometriose, Adenomyose und von basalem Endometrium zeigten die gleichen zyklischen immunhistochemischen Veränderungen bezüglich der Hormonrezeptoren sowie der P-450 Aromatase*. Da beschrieben wurd…

The uterus is composed of different smooth muscle layers that serve various functions. First, menstrual debris is expulsed at the time of the menses. Second, sperm is transported in the preovulatory phase to maximize fertility, and third, t…

Evidence has been provided that pelvic endometriosis is significantly associated with uterine adenomyosis and that the latter constitutes the major factor of infertility in such conditions. Furthermore, it has become evident that both adeno…

Rhythmic peristaltic contractions of the muscular wall of the non-pregnant uterus can be demonstrated throughout the menstrual cycle, with a maximum just before ovulation. However, not only during the follicular phase but also during the lu…

OBJECTIVE: Uterine hyperperistalsis and dysperistalsis are common phenomena in endometriosis and may be responsible for reduced fertility in cases of minimal or mild extent of disease. Since a high prevalence of adenomyosis uteri has been w…

BACKGROUND: The hypothesis is tested that there is a strong association between endometriosis and adenomyosis and that adenomyosis plays a role in causing infertility in women with endometriosis. METHODS. Magnetic resonance imaging of the u…

Peristaltic activity of the non-pregnant uterus serves fundamental functions in the early process of reproduction. Hyperperistalsis of the uterus is significantly associated with the development of endometriosis and adenomyosis. In women wi…

endometriums with endometriosis, which were labeled with Cy5-dUTP. Fluorescent labeled probes were hybridized on a microarray of 4800 human genes. Results: We could detect many genes expressed differently in eutopic endometrium with or with…
