Introduction After puberty, at least 10% of all women and girls suffer from endometriosis. Surgery is useful for both the diagnosis and therapy. To date, quality indicators for the surgical treatment of endometriosis are lacking. QS ENDO ai…
OBJECTIVES: Are other pain symptoms in addition to dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dyschezia, dysuria, and chronic pelvic pain correlated to endometriosis and suitable for a clinical prediction model? METHODS: We conducted a prospective study f…
Introduction Endometriosis significantly reduces patients' quality of life and is additionally a burden on healthcare and social security systems. There are currently no quality indicators for the treatment of endometriosis. The care of pat…
PURPOSE: Claudins as the major components of tight junctions are important in maintaining cell-cell integrity and thus function as a barrier. Dysregulation of the claudins is often associated with loss of the epithelial phenotype, a process…
Endometriosis affects a significant number of young premenopausal women. Quite apart from the medical challenges, endometriosis is a relevant burden for healthcare and social security systems. Standardized quality indicators for the treatme…
To analyze whether the endometrial and endometriotic microenvironment is involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, we characterized the stromal composition. We used CD90 for fibroblasts, α-smooth muscle actin for myofibroblasts as well…
Claudins are the major components of tight junctions and are often deregulated in human cancer, permitting escape of cancer cells along with the acquisition of invasive properties. Similarly, endometrial cells also show invasive capabilitie…
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common, chronic condition in women of reproductive age that is characterized by the presence of functional endometriotic lesions outside the uterus. The Endometriosis Symptom Diary (ESD) is an electronic patie…
Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is characterized by the loss of epithelial and acquisition of mesenchymal cell characteristics. Our aim was to assess the epithelial phenotype in the pathogenesis of endometriosis with epithelial and …
Clusterin (CLU) is expressed in tissues and body fluids and is altered in some pathologies. In endometriosis, a noninvasive test is still lacking, thus, we analyzed CLU in mucus samples of patients. Additionally, we investigated localizatio…
Endometriosis is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain and infertility. It is defined as the occurrence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and can manifest as a peritoneal, ovarian or infiltrating form, the latter being referr…
ObjectiveTo study if neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are present in the peritoneal fluid of endometriosis patients. NETs play a crucial role in fighting against microorganisms. However, exaggerated NET production may lead to tissue da…
OBJECTIVE: Analysis of the plasma N-glycome in endometriosis patients compared with controls. STUDY DESIGN: In a case-control study, blood samples were collected from patients who underwent either diagnostic or operative laparoscopy betwee…
PURPOSE: To determine whether a structured questionnaire can improve preoperative assessment of patients with endometriosis. METHODS: Hospital records for patients with endometriosis were evaluated retrospectively to determine the complete…
PURPOSE: To evaluate semi-rigid and rigid endoscopes for transvaginal NOTES surgery. METHODS: One rigid endoscope (EndoCAMeleon, KARL STORZ GmbH & Co. KG, Tuttlingen Germany) and one semi-rigid endoscope (EndoEYE LTF-VH, Olympus Deutschlan…
Endometriosis affects 6-10% of women in reproductive age, 35-50% of whom experience pain, infertility or both. Mild cases are managed medically but surgery provides relief to women in pain. However, symptoms recur in 75% of cases within 2 y…
Endometriosis is characterized by presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterus. Prevalence is estimated at 6-10% in the general female population and many patients experience pain and/or infertility. Diagnosis is achieved by laparoscop…
Endometriosis is the second most frequent benign disease of the female of reproductive age. In spite of extensive research, the etiology of this disease is still largely enigmatic. A causal therapy has not been found yet. Several drug thera…
