ObjectiveThe study intent was to examine long-term effects on bone mass of 3 or 6 months of nafarelin therapy for endometriosis.Study designWomen with established endometriosis (N = 173) were randomized to receive nafarelin (200 micrograms …

The classification of endometriosis has evolved during this century under the influence of many factors. Although classifications initially paralleled the staging of pelvic malignancies, more modern systems follow the natural progression of…

Treatment with nafarelin, a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist, reversibly inhibits ovarian function and induces hypoestrogenemia. To determine the efficacy of such hormonal manipulation in the treatment of endometriosis, we randomly as…

Follicular diameter growth is a highly linear function of time. Recently, the potential utility of linear regression-derived parameters for describing and comparing cycles of follicular growth was described. The linearity of growth, growth …

Implants or tiny circumscribed nodules of endometrial tissue were found in all female mice given intraperitoneal injections of fragments of human normal (proliferative and secretory) or ectopic (endometrioma) endometrium. Half of these anim…

Systematic genetic studies in endometriosis apparently have not been conducted; therefore, we studied 123 patients with histologically proved endometriosis. Nine of 153 (5.8%) female sibs (over age 18) of patients with histologically proved…

Clinical characteristics of patients with histologically confirmed pelvic endometriosis who had an affected first-degree relative (N = 18) were compared to those who had no such affected relative (N = 105). The only significant difference w…

Two groups of infertile women underwent conservative surgery for endometriosis, group I (107 patients) prior to 1970 and group II (138 patients) after 1970. To determine whether modifications to the surgical approach after 1970 further incr…
