Europe, the prevalence in women undergoing investigation for infertility is often.2%. Still, the relationship between CD and endometriosis is unclear. methods: We identified 11 097 women with CD (Marsh 3: villous atrophy) through biopsy dat…

We tested the hypothesis that endometriosis can be induced in baboons more successfully by intra-pelvic injection of the pellet of menstrual endometrium when compared to its supernatant. Menstrual endometrium, separated into pellet (n = 5) …

The association between endometriosis and subfertility is well known and has been the object of intense research in the last decades. However, the potential association between endometriosis and adverse pregnancy outcome has not been studie…

STUDY QUESTION: Is it possible to replicate the previously identified genetic association of four single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), rs12700667, rs7798431, rs1250248 and rs7521902, with endometriosis in a Caucasian population? SUMMARY …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disease. Epidemiological studies have demonstrated associations between endometriosis and ovarian cancer. Recent genome-wide association studies of ovarian cancer have identified s…

The association between endometriosis and subfertility is well known and has been the subject of intense research in recent decades. However, little is known about the effects of pregnancy on the natural course of endometriosis. Observation…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common cause of infertility. Whereas celiac disease (CD) is present in ~1% of individuals in Western Europe, the prevalence in women undergoing investigation for infertility is often >2%. Still, the relationsh…

The largest study to date of endometriosis in pregnant women has found that the condition is a major risk factor for premature birth, the 25th annual conference of the European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology heard today (Wedne…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis, a common gynaecological disease, is characterized by local and systemic inflammation, which may cause infertility and consequently, increased utilization of assisted reproduction technology (ART). We aimed to esti…

A clear picture of the dynamic relationship between the endometrium and peritoneum is emerging as both tissues may participate in the spontaneous development of endometriosis. Various adhesion molecules, pro-inflammatory cytokines and chemo…

Introduction: Endometriosis is a common, benign gynecological disease, associated with pelvic pain and infertility. It is generally thought to be caused by retrograde shedding of menstrual tissue with subsequent attachment to peritoneal sur…

UNLABELLED: Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease with an unclear pathophysiology characterized by ectopic endometrium causing endometrium-like inflammatory lesions outside the uterine cavity. Recently, a number of studies have in…

BACKGROUND: The Olive baboon is a popular animal model for reproductive and surgical research. The Institute of Primate Research, Nairobi, Kenya, has been using the animal for reproductive research for many years. In the baboon, compared wi…

BACKGROUND: Inflammatory cytokines, including interleukin (IL)-1, IL-6, IL-8 and tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha), are important in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. We assessed the efficacy of anti-TNF monoclonal antibody (mAb, c5…

BACKGROUND: Serum CA-125 during the mid-follicular phase has been reported to be a clinically useful and reproducible marker in the diagnosis of advanced endometriosis in women. This study was undertaken to document the effect of the menstr…
