Despite many years of extensive investigations and increasing number of studies, the pathogenesis of endometriosis remains unclear Accumulated data suggests that disrupted iron metabolism may induce oxidative stress in the peritoneal cavity…

Endometriosis is defined by endometrial glands and stroma outside of the endometrial cavity Three types of endometriosis have been described: peritoneal endometriosis, ovarian endometriosis and deep infiltrating endometriosis. Endometriosis…

INTRODUCTION: Proinflammatory and prooxidative environment in the peritoneal cavity may be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Imbalance between reactive oxygen species levels and the antioxidant capacity leads to oxidation of lo…

AIM: Endometriosis is characterized by a cyclic hemorrhage within the peritoneal cavity. Accumulating data suggests that iron homeostasis in the peritoneal cavity may be disrupted by endometriosis. The aim of our study was to evaluate iron …

UNLABELLED: Pathophysiology of endometriosis remains enigmatic despite extensive investigations. Accumulating data suggest that oxidative stress in the peritoneal cavity may be implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. AIM: The aim o…

Recent epidemiologic studies indicate that use of combined oral contraception is associated with a increase in the incidence of cardiovascular disease (venous thromboembolism, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction and stroke). The risk …

The development of steroid-releasing vaginal rings over the past three decades is reviewed to illustrate the role of this device as an effective hormonal contraceptive for women. NuvaRing is a combined contraceptive vaginal ring that releas…

Vulvovaginal infection is the most common cause of gynecological problems in sexually active women. Few years ago it was not considered as serious disease which may cause major health implications. Currently we are aware that it implies lif…

Background: The aim of the study was to investigate the concentrations of interleukin-2 (IL-2), soluble interleukin-2 receptors (sIL-2R) and the expressions of CD25 antigen (IL-2Rα) on T CD3 + lymphocytes in peritoneal fluid of infertile pa…

UNLABELLED: Accumulating data suggests that iron homeostasis in the peritoneal cavity may be disrupted by endometriosis. Increased iron metabolism induce proinflammatory and prooxidative environment in the peritoneal fluid (PF), thus may be…

Dynamic development in modern medicine permanently brings the modifications of operation techniques. Both closure and non-closure of the peritoneum after gynecologic operations has been discussed recently. According to clinical observations…

THE AIM: Of the study was to evaluate utility of magnetic resonance (MR) in the assessment of the women who fulfilled inclusion criteria for uterine artery embolisation as a symptomatic leiomyoma treatment and outcome of procedures. MATERIA…

UNLABELLED: Changes in the peritoneal fluid environment have been implicated in the pathogenesis of endometriosis as well as in the decrease of fertility. Tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF alpha) and interferon gamma (IFN gamma) play a criti…

OBJECTIVES: Evaluation of the role of three-dimensional (3D) ultrasonographic measurement of the endometrium volume in perimenopausal women with irregular uterine bleeding. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We have assessed 45 women (23 postmenopausal)…
