Background: Diagnosis of endometriosis and evaluation of incidence data are complex tasks because the disease is identified laparoscopically and confirmed histologically. Incidence estimates reported in literature are widely inconsistent, p…

Aim: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disorder requiring clinical examination, imaging, and surgical intervention for accurate assessment. The aim of the present study is to identify unique biochemical and biophysical patterns in sma…

INTRODUCTION: The reproductive microbiome plays a key role in disease progression and fertility in women with endometriosis. Vaginal and endometrial dysbiosis has been increasingly linked to inflammation, impaired reproductive outcomes, and…

Objective: To map the literature on oocyte quality assessment in assisted reproduction technologies (ART) through three complementary perspectives, namely the biological and clinical relationship between endometriosis and oocyte competence,…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological condition often associated with severe pelvic pain, reduced quality of life, and significant psychological and sexual distress. Although psychological factors are known to influence pain …

AIMS: Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic inflammatory disorder with multifactorial etiologies (i.e., genetics and environmental factors, hormonal and immunological changes, and microbiome alterations). The complement system is one of the most …

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder with a multifactorial etiology that has not yet been fully elucidated. What is known, however, are the pathological tissue dynamics that lead to the complex symptoms that women suffer from. …

Background: Endometriosis is a female chronic inflammatory disease in which endometrial tissue develops outside the uterine cavity. It is a complex pathology, that significantly contributes to morbidity in premenopausal women, leading to ch…

Background/Objectives: Endometriosis is a female chronic inflammatory disease in which endometrial tissue develops outside the uterine cavity. It is a complex pathology, which significantly contributes to morbidity in premenopausal women, l…

This study evaluates ultrasound in the diagnosis of anterior, lateral, posterior parametrial endometriosis. We retrospectively analysed 36 patients with pathological diagnosis of endometriosis from Jan 2022 to March 2023. The performances o…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in abnormal locations, leading to severe symptoms, inflammation, pain, organ dysfunction, and infertility. Surgical removal of endometr…

Abstract Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus, primarily affecting pelvic organs and tissues. In this study, we explored platelet activation in endomet…

Endometriosis (EM) is defined as the engraftment and proliferation of functional endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to a chronic inflammatory condition. While the precise etiology of EM remains elusive, recent studi…

The female genital tract can be involved as a secondary manifestation of disseminated lymphomas or leukaemia but can rarely be the primary site of so-called extranodal lymphomas. Primary lymphomas of the female genital tract can affect the …

Abstract Endometriosis is a gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in abnormal locations, leading to severe symptoms, inflammation, pain, organ dysfunction, and infertility. Surgical removal of endometrios…

Endometriosis (EM) is a common multifactorial gynaecological disorder. Although Genome-Wide Association Studies have largely been employed, the current knowledge of the genetic mechanisms underlying EM is far from complete, and other approa…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease affecting 10-15 % of women worldwide, consisting in the ectopic growth of endometrial cells outside the uterine cavity. Whist the pathogenetic mechanisms of endometriosis remain elusive and contemplati…

An acquired uterine artery myometrial pseudoaneurysm can occur due to inflammation, trauma, or iatrogenic causes, such as surgical procedures, and can lead to profuse bleeding. The efficacy of uterine manipulators in gynecological surgery, …
