Introduction: Angiogenesis, growth of new blood vessels from pre-existing vessels, is a crucial physiological process for tissue regeneration. This state is also seen in pathological processes such as malignancies and endometriosis. Vascula…

Background: Endometriosis is a common, benign, oestrogen-dependent, chronic gy-naecological disorder associated with pelvic pain and infertility. Some researchers have identified nerve fibers in endometriotic lesions in women with endometri…

Background: Our objective was to evaluate the effect of ovarian endometrioma on ovar-ian stimulation outcomes in in vitro fertilization cycles (IVF). Materials and Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we followed 103 patients who unde…

Background: To evaluate the impact of the association of endometrioma with or without deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) after a first intra cytoplasmic sperm injection- in vitro fertilization (ICSI-IVF) cycle on pregnancy rate. Material…

Objective: The aim of the International Endogene Study is to discover genes that influence susceptibility to endometriosis. Design: The study brings together two research groups based in Australia and the United Kingdom that independently h…

Genitourinary tuberculosis is a common extrapulmonary manifestation of tubercu-losis. Taking into consideration that genitourinary tuberculosis may be associated with a diversity of presentations, its diagnoses may be difficult. A young wom…

Version 1: BMJ Open‐2010‐000035 Tai chi for the treatment of osteoarthritis: a systematic review and meta‐analysis

We read with interest the manuscript entitled "Serum and peritoneal fluid levels of vascular en-dothelial growth factor in women with endometrio-sis " recently published in the International Journal of Fertility and Sterility (1).…

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disease resulting from complex interactions between genetic, hormonal, environmental and oxidative stress and intrinsic inflammatory components. The aim of this study was to investigate t…

Background: Endometriosis is known as one of the most common disease in women of reproductive age. Due to important role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in neo-vascularization for the implantation of endometrial cell, and also …

Background: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecologic disorders. It is a complex trait and both genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in its pathogenesis. There is growing evidence indicating that exposure to envi…

Background: Despite a high prevalence of endometriosis, there still exist many challenges in diagnosing the disease. This study aims to evaluate non-invasive and practical diagnostic methods by measuring serum and peritoneal fluid CA 125 le…

1 Endometriotic stromal cells lose the ability to regulate cell-survival-signaling in endometrial epithelial cells in vitro

ABSTRACT-Strain CD-1 female mice exposed prenatally to diethylstilbestrol (DES) (CAS: 56-53-1; a,a'-diethyl-4,4'-stilbene-diol) were mated to unexposed males. Female offspring of these matings were raised to the stage of terminal …
