Study objectiveTo assess whether deep endometriosis surgery affects the bladder function.DesignProspective multicenter observational study (Canadian Task Force classification II-2).SettingAcademic research centers.PatientsThirty-two patient…

INTRODUCTION: Surgical experience and hospital procedure volumes have been associated with the risk of severe complications in expert centers for endometriosis in France. However, little is known about other certified units in Central Europ…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a benign disease, characterized by a wide range of symptoms and different degrees of severity, which is why therapy should be individually adapted to the patient's needs. Over the years, a lot of research has …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrium outside the uterus and is associated with chronic pain and infertility. We investigated the role of the long intergenic noncoding RNA 01133 (LIN…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder affecting the quality of life and fertility of many women around the world. Heterogeneous and non-specific symptoms may lead to a delay in diagnosis, with treatment options limited to surger…

Endometriosis affects up to 10% of women of childbearing age, causing symptoms that can include chronic pelvic pain and reduced fertility. The symptoms are not specific to the disease and can be confused with other gynecological conditions …

Fragestellung: Ziel der Studie war es, die Prävalenz von Endometriose bei Patientinnen mit PCOS zu zeigen, welche keine klassischen Symptome aufweisen und ein LOD aufgrund einer Clomiphen-Resistenz erhielten.

Endometriosis appears to share certain cancer-related processes, such as cell attachment, invasion, proliferation and neovascularization, some of which can also be found in other healthy tissues. In order to better understand the altered mi…

Abstract Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with an impaired immune response at the site of lesion implantation. The ability of macrophages to respond to changes in their environment is critical for an effective immu…

Research questionAre selected cell adhesion molecules useful as urinary biomarkers for diagnosing endometriosis?DesignProspective, longitudinal study (the Endometriosis Marker Austria) in patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for beni…

Endometriosis is a common gynaecological condition characterized by severe pelvic pain and/or infertility. The combination of nonspecific symptoms and invasive laparoscopic diagnostics have prompted researchers to evaluate potential biomark…

To evaluate the incidence of endometriosis in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) patients who did not present with any endometriosis symptoms and underwent laparoscopic ovarian drilling (LOD) for clomiphene citrate (CC) resistance, 225 and 63…

Research questionAs microRNA (miRNA) are stable in circulation, this study tested whether they could serve as putative non-invasive biomarkers for endometriosis, and their expression differences between endometriosis patients and controls. …

Endometriosis is a prevalent gynaecological disorder with a still unclear pathogenesis. So far inflammatory mechanisms are associated with disease progression and critical reviews have discussed the so-called 'danger theory' related to endo…

AIM: To evaluate preoperative levels of CA-125 and HE4 in patients with endometriosis-like symptoms and to construct diagnostic models. PATIENTS: Prospective case-control study included 124 endometriosis patients and 97 control patients. MA…

INTRODUCTION: Much research has gone into developing medications that can be used to alleviate endometriosis-associated symptoms. In addition to already established medications, a new GnRH antagonist, elagolix, is in development. The novelt…

The objective of our pilot clinical, prospective study was to determine the serum levels of mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor, in of women with endometriosis and controls and explore whether mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor i…

Study question: Do cell adhesion molecules play a role in endometriosis, and can they be used as a biomarker for diagnosing endometriosis? Summary answer: Altered expression of vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and intercellular ad…

ObjectiveEndometriosis is a benign gynaecological disease, affecting women during their reproductive years. Angiogenesis represents a crucial step in the pathogenesis of endometriosis, because endometriotic lesions require neovascularizatio…

Fragestellung: Endometriose ist eine gutartige Erkrankung und weist Charakteristika einer chronischen Inflammation auf. Wir untersuchten die Unterschiede in der Serumkonzentration von sCD40Ligand und CXCL-1 zwischen Patientinnen mit Endomet…

BACKGROUND: Current evidence suggests that endometrial-derived stem cells, spilled in the peritoneal cavity via retrograde menstruation, are key players in the establishment of endometriotic lesions. The aim of this study was to determine t…

E is a painful, chronic disease occurring when endometrium is located outside the uterus, affecting at least 6 million women worldwide. Symptoms like dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, dysuria, fatigue or other gastrointestinal indications such as …

Endometriosis is a benign but troublesome gynecological condition, characterized by endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity. Lately, the discovery and validation of noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for endometriosis is one of th…

BACKGROUND: Epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a process in which epithelial cells lose polarity and cell-to-cell contacts and acquire the migratory and invasive abilities of mesenchymal cells. These abilities are thought to be p…
