RESEARCH QUESTION: Is implantation impaired in patients with endometriosis undergoing IVF and intracytoplasmatic sperm injection (ICSI) cycles? DESIGN: A retrospective matched cohort study was carried out on IVF/ICSI cycles with fresh sing…
BACKGROUND: Several studies have suggested that endometriosis is associated with an increased risk of ovarian cancer, especially for the clear-cell and endometrioid subtypes. However, previous studies lack sufficient power or diagnostic cer…
Contractions of the non-pregnant uterus play a key role in fertility. Yet, the electrophysiology underlying these contractions is poorly understood. In this paper, we investigate the presence of uterine electrical activity and characterize …
Measurement and analysis of uterine contractions (UC) through a machine-learning model based on quantitative 2D and 3D transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS) measurements in women with abnormal uteri due to adenomyosis, leiomyomas or uterine anomal…
Systematically review existing literature on how adenomyosis can be objectively quantified on MRI and review the diagnostic performance of these objective characteristics compared to histopathological diagnosis. We searched databases Pubmed…
Abstract Background Endometrial ablation (EA) is a frequently used treatment for abnormal uterine bleeding, mainly due to the low risks, low costs and short recovery time associated with the procedure. On the short term, it seems successful…
PURPOSE: Contractions in non-pregnant uterine can be assessed by visual inspection of transvaginal ultrasound (TVUS). Many authors have used this method to extract features like contraction frequency and direction. However, visual inspectio…
PURPOSE: Uterine activity plays a key role in reproduction, and altered patterns of uterine contractility have been associated with important physiopathological conditions, such as subfertility, dysmenorrhea, and endometriosis. However, the…
It has been postulated that increased uterine peristalsis (UP) negatively influences in vitro fertilisation outcome due to endometrial hyper-contractility after embryo transfer. An objective and non-invasive characterisation of UP can there…
OBJECTIVES: To assess risk and predictive factors for depression and well-being, 3 and 12 months after elective hysterectomy. Secondary objectives were to assess the incidence of depression, level of well-being, and feelings of femininity. …
