The effect of pycnogenol on patients with dysmenorrhea using low-dose oral contraceptives.
International journal of women's health ·doi:10.2147/ijwh.s75389

ObjectiveMenstrual symptoms such as dysmenorrhea usually occur during the hormone-free interval in oral contraceptive users. Progestin withdrawal activates NF-κB transcription factor, which upregulates both vascular endothelial growth facto…

article 2013
Combining oral contraceptives with a natural nuclear factor-kappa B inhibitor for the treatment of endometriosis-related pain
International journal of women's health ·doi:10.2147/ijwh.s55210

Endometriosis is a chronic disease in which a persistent state of heightened inflammation is maintained by nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) activation. The progestins present in oral contraceptives are potent inhibitors of NF-κB translocation…

article 2013
The effect of oral contraceptives on aromatase and Cox-2 expression in the endometrium of patients with idiopathic menorrhagia or adenomyosis
International journal of women's health ·doi:10.2147/ijwh.s45093

BACKGROUND: The presence of aromatase and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) expression was investigated in the endometrium of patients with idiopathic menorrhagia or adenomyosis. The effect of oral contraceptives administered in extended regimens on…

article 2012
Advantages of the association of resveratrol with oral contraceptives for management of endometriosis-related pain
International journal of women's health ·doi:10.2147/ijwh.s36825

BACKGROUND: The effect of resveratrol on the management of endometriosis-related pain was investigated in 12 patients who failed to obtain pain relief during use of an oral contraceptive containing drospirenone + ethinylestradiol. METHODS A…

Correlation between aromatase expression in the eutopic endometrium of symptomatic patients and the presence of endometriosis
International journal of women's health ·doi:10.2147/IJWH.S29154

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether aromatase expression in the eutopic endometrium correlates with the presence and severity of endometriosis in patients with infertility and/or dysmenorrhea undergoing laparoscopy and hysteroscopy. PATIENTS…

article 2012
Effect of a hormone-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena®) on aromatase and Cox-2 expression in patients with adenomyosis submitted or not, to endometrial resection
International journal of women's health ·doi:10.2147/ijwh.s30087

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of a levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (Mirena(®)) on aromatase and cyclooxygenase-2 (Cox-2) expression in the endometrium of patients with adenomyosis who were submitted to endometrial resect…

review 2012
Role of Inflammation and Aromatase Expression in the Eutopic Endometrium and its Relationship with the Development of Endometriosis
Women's health (London, England) ·doi:10.2217/whe.12.52

Epigenetic changes favoring the transcription of the aromatase gene in the endometrium allow endometrial cells to survive in ectopic locations by producing estrogens that spare them from destruction through activated macrophages. Local estr…

review 2008
The use of JJ stent in the management of deep endometriosis lesion, affecting or potentially affecting the ureter: a review of our practice
BJOG: An International Journal of Obstetrics & Gynaecology ·doi:10.1111/j.1471-0528.2008.01795.x

OBJECTIVE: With the increasing number of operative laparoscopies performed for the treatment of deep pelvic endometriosis, technical difficulties and risk of complications inevitably increase. We report our experience using JJ stents, in wo…
