Abstract Study question Can we improve the diagnostic accuracy of the detection of POD obliteration in endometriosis magnetic resonance imaging, by leveraging results from unpaired eTVUS data sets? Summary answer We illustrate effective mul…

Understanding of molecular mechanisms contributing to the pathophysiology of endometriosis, and upstream drivers of lesion formation, remains limited. Using a C57Bl/6 mouse model in which decidualized endometrial tissue is injected subcutan…

Background and Aims: Numerous endometriosis treatments exist, ranging from surgical to traditional medications to complementary and alternative medicines (CAMs). The ranking of treatments across management categories remains unknown. To add…

The 2016 Cochrane Review identified Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Transvaginal Ultrasound scans (TVUS) as the most diagnostic non-invasive test for endometriosis. This led to IMAGENDO, which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to model…

Endometriosis is a common chronic gynecological disorder that has many characteristics, including the pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration, which can be diagnosed using Transvaginal gynecological ultrasound (TVUS) scans and magnetic resonanc…

There is a 25-50% higher incidence of endometriosis in infertility populations and there is a 30-50% higher incidence of infertility for people with endometriosis with a significantly lower monthly chance of fertility than healthy women (2-…

Endometriosis affects 1 in 9 women, taking 6.4 years to diagnose using conventional laparoscopy. Non-invasive imaging enables timelier diagnosis, reducing diagnostic delay, risk and expense of surgery. This review updates literature explori…

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of evidence that pregnancy reduces endometriotic lesions or symptoms, however studies indicate that people with endometriosis are commonly advised to get pregnant to manage or treat endometriosis. This study soug…

Endometriosis is a debilitating condition affecting 5% to 10% of the women worldwide, where early detection and treatment are the best tools to manage the condition. Early detection can be done via surgery, but multi-modal medical imaging i…

Abstract Introduction Endometriosis impacts 1 in 10 women and can be a debilitating disease. Late diagnosis is a major challenge with Endometriosis, contributing further to the exacerbation of symptoms and suboptimal clinical management. Re…

Introduction: This study aimed to test group Physiotherapy sessions – pain education and supervised exercise − in addition to individual consultations, for women referred with persistent pelvic pain (with/without endometriosis), with the pr…

INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) for the mapping of endometriosis before surgery when performed by sonographers in an outpatient women's imaging centre. METHODS: A prospective longitud…

The intriguing relationship between androgens, endometriosis and chronic pain continues to unfold. Determining this relationship is of crucial importance to gynecologists managing people with these conditions, as common treatments dramatica…

BACKGROUND: It is important to evaluate sequalae for complex chronic health conditions such as endometriosis and mental health disorders. Endometriosis impacts 1 in 10 women. Mental health outcomes can be a primary determinant in many physi…

OBJECTIVES: Pouch of Douglas (POD) obliteration is a severe consequence of inflammation in the pelvis, often seen in patients with endometriosis. The sliding sign is a dynamic transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) test that can diagnose POD obliter…

PURPOSE: Women bear a disproportionate burden of persistent pain conditions when compared to men. To determine whether the hormonal environment affects the clinical experience of pain, as measured by the days per month of pelvic pain (DPelv…

STUDY QUESTION: Can the priorities for future research in infertility be identified? SUMMARY ANSWER: The top 10 research priorities for the four areas of male infertility, female and unexplained infertility, medically assisted reproduction…

OBJECTIVE: To develop a core outcome set for endometriosis. DESIGN: Consensus development study. SETTING: International. POPULATION: One hundred and sixteen healthcare professionals, 31 researchers and 206 patient representatives. METHO…

STUDY QUESTION: Can consensus definitions for the core outcome set for infertility be identified in order to recommend a standardized approach to reporting? SUMMARY ANSWER: Consensus definitions for individual core outcomes, contextual sta…
