BACKGROUND: There is a growing unmet need to digitalise the management of clinical data in medicine. Web-based scoring applications for endometriosis align with this trend. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate a web-based application t…

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to assess the effects of contraception with NuvaRing on ultrasound signs and symptoms of women with adenomyosis. STUDY DESIGN: We conducted a prospective self-controlled observational study on women with adenomyosis who…

(Abstracted from Contraception 2025:150:111016, doi:10.1016/j.contraception.2025.111016) Adenomyosis occurs when ectopic endometrial glands invade the myometrium and can cause symptoms such as an enlarged uterus, heavy menstrual bleeding, p…

Background/Objectives: Adenomyosis is a debilitating gynecologic condition that affects both multiparous older women and nulliparous younger women, inducing a variety of symptoms such as dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and infertility. Thermal a…

Strain elastography allows the evaluation of tissue elasticity. Background/Objectives: Tissue elasticity depends on the content and distribution of collagen fibers and is shaped by the applied tensile forces that may differ in uteri with a …

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate elastography features of deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE), and to define whether this technique may discriminate lesions from surrounding non-endometriotic tissue. METHODS: This was an explorat…

Background: It has been reported that coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) vaccines could provoke flu-like symptoms and changes in menstrual cycles in some women, probably as a result of the immune response caused by the vaccination itself. …

Endometriosis is a common inflammatory disease affecting women of reproductive age, characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue beyond the uterus. In addition to gynecological manifestations, many endometriosis patients experience gas…

OBJECTIVE: Knowing the population's needs in order to plan measures to reduce emergency department (ED) use is fundamental. The objective of this study was to describe gynaecological ED visits and associated findings in women of reproductiv…

This study’s objective was to compare the predictive validity of the three most utilized classification scores for endometriosis, #Enzian, EFI, and rASRM, in achieving a spontaneous pregnancy or pregnancy via assisted reproductive technolog…

This study was performed to evaluate the systemic oxidative stress balance in women with either ovarian or deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) and any alterations of the same during hormone therapy. Free oxygen radicals (FORT) and free ox…

BackgroundAtypical polypoid adenomyoma (APA) is a rare uterine tumor typically found in fertile age and associated with infertility. Among young nullipara women, conservative treatment is proposed despite the high recurrence rate and the as…

The aim is to report a case of spontaneous uterine rupture in the first trimester of pregnancy and to review the literature on the topic.MethodsA literature search was performed using PubMed and Scopus. Relevant English articles were identi…

Endometriosis is an inflammatory disease characterized by the presence of ectopic endometrial tissue outside the uterus. A diffuse infiltration of mast cells (MCs) is observed throughout endometriotic lesions, but little is known about how …

kinases, Ki-67 and the estrogen and progesterone receptors determined using an endometriosis tissue microarray model

OBJECTIVE: To test the immunohistochemical staining pattern of some mismatch repair (MMR) system proteins in endometriotic tissue (ET) and eutopic endometrium. METHODS: This was a retrospective study conducted at the Pathology and Obstetric…

In order to study survivin, matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-2), membranous type 1 matrix metalloproteinase (MT1-MMP), and tissue inhibitor metalloproteinase-2 (TIMP-2) expression immunohistochemically in endometriotic tissues and normal endo…

BACKGROUND: The roles of cell proliferation and genomic instability in endometriosis are highly debated aspects of the pathogenesis of this disease. Aurora A and B kinases play different important roles in cell cycle control and genomic ins…
