ObjectiveTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of potentized estrogen compared to placebo in homeopathic treatment of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain (EAPP).Study designThe present was a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-control…

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic stripping is the gold-standard treatment for ovarian endometriosis. The choice of hemostasis method might affect ovarian reserve. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether bipolar electrocoagulation is more detrimental to ov…

The physiopathology of endometriosis is not completely understood and its progression is associated with a local and systemic inflammatory reaction. It is important to clarify the potential role of the immune system to better understand its…

Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic foci of endometrial glandular tissue and/or stroma within the myometrium. The diagnosis of adenomyosis is traditionally made through histologic evaluation of the postsurgical specimen.…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes difficult-to-treat pelvic pain. Thus being, many patients seek help in complementary and alternative medicine, including homeopathy. The effectiveness of homeopathic tr…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a prevalent disease that affects 5-15 % of women of reproductive age. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of dienogest in the treatment of endometriosis. METHODS: The search was applied to electronic dat…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the expression of stem cell-related genes in the endometrium (END), superficial endometriosis (SE), and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). STUDY DESIGN: We performed a prospective pilot study of six women suffering…

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a novel model for providing minimally invasive surgical (MIS) care to underserved populations. Design: A prospective pilot study with patients affected by diverse benign pathologies of th…

OBJECTIVE: despite endometriosis being a common disease, where early detection is key to preventing its progression, it is a condition often overlooked in adolescents. The aim of this study was to report the clinical characteristics of adol…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease that is related to immune response alterations. T regulatory cells modulate immune response, and Foxp3 seems to be the best marker of these cells. This study evaluated Foxp3 mRNA expression in…

BackgroundVery few studies have evaluated the expression of homeobox A10 (HOXA10) and steroid (estrogen and progesterone) receptors exclusively in deep endometriosis. Conclusions drawn from studies evaluating peritoneal and ovarian endometr…

Our understanding of the pathogenesis of endometriosis is rapidly evolving as early molecular events are increasingly identified. Endometriosis is associated with increased risk of ovarian cancer and exhibits neoplastic phenotypes including…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate serum and peritoneal concentrations of amyloid protein A in women with endometriosis and to compare them with those of women without endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study evaluated 76 women suspected of hav…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the expression of chemokines that regulate natural killer (NK) and T-regulatory (T-reg) cell activity in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissue samples from endometriosis patients. DESIGN: Case-control study (Canadia…

OBJECTIVE: Differentiation between benign and malignant ovarian neoplasms is essential for creating a system for patient referrals. Therefore, the contributions of the tumor markers CA125 and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) as well as the …

PROBLEM: To evaluate CD4(+) CD25(high) Foxp3(+) cells and IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, and TGF-β in the peritoneal fluid of women with endometriosis. METHOD OF STUDY: A total of ninety-eight patients were studied: endometriosis (n = 70) and control…

To evaluate serum concentrations of CA-125 and soluble CD-23 and to correlate them with clinical symptoms, localization and stage of pelvic endometriosis and histological classification of the disease. Blood samples were collected from 44 w…

To evaluate serum concentrations of CA-125 and soluble CD-23 and to correlate them with clinical symptoms, localization and stage of pelvic endometriosis and histological classification of the disease. Blood samples were collected from 44 w…

ObjectiveTo investigate expression of BcL-2, FAS, FAS ligand (FASL) and cleaved caspase-3 in the endometrial tissue of women with idiopathic infertility (with two consecutive failed cycles of in vitro fertilization) and women with idiopathi…

Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminate (LPD) is a rare benign disease of unknown etiology of women in reproductive age. A few reported cases of association with endometriosis have been described suggesting a possible origin from submesothe…
