Route of Delivery in a Patient with Vaginal Stenosis from Stevens-Johnson Syndrome and Review of the Management of Genital Complications.
Women's health reports (New Rochelle, N.Y.) ·doi:10.1089/whr.2024.0074

BackgroundStevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) and toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) are severe dermatological conditions, predominantly affecting women with mortality rates of 4.8-48%. Antibiotics are common triggers. They cause painful mucous me…

Aspartame Consumption, Mitochondrial Disorder-Induced Impaired Ovarian Function, and Infertility Risk.
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms232112740

Frequent consumption of diet drinks was associated with oocyte dysmorphism, decreased embryo quality, and an adverse effect on pregnancy rate. We investigated the harmful effects of aspartame and potential mechanisms through which it increa…

Association between intracytoplasmic sperm injection and neurodevelopmental outcomes among offspring.
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0257268

PurposeTo compare the risk of neurodevelopmental disorders in children conceived via intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) and those conceived naturally.Materials and methodsA population-based cohort study using data retrieved from the Ta…

Chronic Niche Inflammation in Endometriosis-Associated Infertility: Current Understanding and Future Therapeutic Strategies
International journal of molecular sciences ·doi:10.3390/ijms19082385

Endometriosis is an estrogen-dependent inflammatory disease that affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age and accounts for up to 50% of female infertility cases. It has been highly associated with poorer outcomes of assisted reproduct…

TGF-βI Regulates Cell Migration through Pluripotent Transcription Factor OCT4 in Endometriosis
PloS one ·doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0145256

Transforming growth factor (TGF-β)/TGF-β receptor signal is known to promote cell migration. Up-regulation of TGF-β in serum/peritoneal fluid and increased levels of pluripotent transcription factor OCT4 in endometriotic tissues are frequen…

article 2013
Expression of the pluripotent transcription factor OCT4 promotes cell migration in endometriosis
Fertility and sterility ·doi:10.1016/j.fertnstert.2012.11.033

ObjectiveTo identify the impact of the pluripotent transcription factor OCT4 in endometrial cell migration and endometriosis.DesignThe OCT4 expression and cell migration study.SettingResearch institution and reproductive medical clinic.Pati…

The cancer marker neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin is highly expressed in human endometrial hyperplasia
Molecular biology reports ·doi:10.1007/s11033-011-0828-9

Recently, endometrial hyperplasia was identified as presenting a higher risk for progressing to endometrial carcinoma more readily than adenomyosis. The Lcn-2 gene encodes neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), which promotes ce…

review 2005
Matrix remodeling and endometriosis
Reproductive medicine and biology ·doi:10.1111/j.1447-0578.2005.00098.x

The physiological changes in endometriosis involving multiple steps of matrix remodeling include abnormal tissue growth, invasion, and adhesion formation. Endometriosis-associated abnormal matrix remodeling is affected by several molecular …

review 2004
Serum and endometrial markers
Best practice & research. Clinical obstetrics & gynaecology ·doi:10.1016/j.bpobgyn.2004.03.003

Endometriosis is a benign but aggressive disease. It occurs when shed endometrium from the female reproductive tract grows at a site outside the uterus. The physiological changes in endometriosis-abnormal tissue growth, invasion, and adhesi…
