The purpose of this study is to clarify the metabolic dependence of ovarian clear cell carcinoma (CCC) by comparing normal tissues and to examine the applicability of fluorescence imaging probe to exploit these metabolic differences. Enhanc…

Abstract Background Adenomyosis is known to be associated with unfavorable perinatal outcomes, but the patient population among women with adenomyosis who is at high risk for adverse perinatal outcomes remains unclear. Recent case reports s…

OBJECTIVES: Adenomyosis is associated with unfavorable perinatal outcomes, and recent case reports show that some women with adenomyosis experience pain at the adenomyosis lesion during pregnancy and have detrimental perinatal outcomes. Thi…

PurposeTo evaluate clinical outcomes after endometrial receptivity analysis (ERA).MethodsThis was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study involving 861 women who underwent ERA testing at certified fertility clinics in Japan, and who recei…

Recurrent implantation failure (RIF) remains a challenging problem in assisted reproductive technology (ART). Further insights into uterine abnormalities that can disturb embryo implantation should be obtained. This review provides an overv…

OBJECTIVES: Although adenomyosis is reportedly associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, clinical factors related to the high risk of obstetric complications are unclear. This study aimed to elucidate the characteristics of adenomyosis le…

Recently, artificial intelligence (AI) has been applied in various fields due to the development of new learning methods, such as deep learning, and the marked progress in computational processing speed. AI is also being applied in the medi…

Levonorgestrel-releasing intrauterine system (LNG-IUS) relieves dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) in adenomyosis. However, its efficacy on health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) in patients with symptomatic adenomyosis remain…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is associated with unfavorable perinatal outcomes; however, the effect of an adenomyomectomy on pregnancy outcomes remains unclear. Pregnancy following an adenomyomectomy has been reported to be associated with a hig…

BACKGROUND: Adenomyosis is a common gynecological disease in women of reproductive age and causes various symptoms such as dysmenorrhea and heavy menstrual bleeding. However, the influence of pregnancy on the progression of adenomyosis rema…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the phosphorylation of estrogen receptor α at serine-118 (phospho-ERα S118) in the endometrium, ovarian endometrioma, and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESIGN: Experimental study. SETTING: University-affili…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is assumed to be involved in ovarian cancer development, which is called endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer (EAOC). Uterine endometrial cells may be the cell of origin of EAOC. Accumulated carcinogenic changes…

The purpose of this study was to establish a novel mouse model of adenomyosis suitable for longitudinal and quantitative analyses and perinatal outcome studies. Using a 30 G needle, the entire uterine wall of one horn was mechanically punct…

Abstract Background: The purpose of this study was to establish a novel mouse model of adenomyosis suitable for longitudinal and quantitative analyses and perinatal outcome studies. Methods: Using a 30 G needle, the entire ute…

The purpose of this study was to establish a new mouse model of endometriosis that mimics real-world women's health problems, in which women continue to be affected by endometriosis long before they wish to become pregnant, and to evaluate …

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to evaluate the course of long-term conservative management of bladder endometriosis (BE). MATERIALS AND METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 17 cases of BE conservatively managed without surgery in our facilit…
