Following the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's warning against power morcellators due to potential cell dissemination of occult malignancy, there has been a shift away from minimally invasive approaches. This concern also overshadows the…

Background: Fatigue is mentioned as one of the most significant symptoms of endometriosis. The impact of laparoscopic endometriosis surgeries on fatigue remains unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate, for the first time, the effe…

Introduction: Myofascial pelvic pain (MFPP) is a prevalent yet frequently overlooked condition characterized by myofascial trigger points located within the pelvic floor muscles. Women with MFPP often experience severely reduced quality of …

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic, estrogen-dependent, benign condition, affecting 10-15% of women of reproductive age. It is associated with a prevalence of sexual dysfunction that is nearly twice as high as that seen in women with ot…

Background/Objectives: This study investigated the long-term effects of the surgical removal of endometriotic lesions on quality of life in endometriosis patients. A sub-analysis explored different subtypes of endometriosis, hormonal influe…

In this focused genetic case-control study, we analyzed two functional single-nucleotide variants (SNVs) associated with breast cancer risk (rs2046210, rs9383590) and one risk SNV for an implantation defect and infertility (rs9340799) for t…

Endometriotic lesions are able to infiltrate surrounding tissue. This is made possible partly by an altered local and systemic immune response that helps achieve neoangiogenesis, cell proliferation and immune escape. Deep-infiltrating endom…

MLLT11 is a gene implicated in cell differentiation and the development and progression of human cancers, but whose role in the pathogenesis of endometriosis is still unknown. Using quantitative RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry, we analyzed …

BACKROUND: Endometriosis is one of the most common gynecological illnesses causing extensive psychological, physical and social impact on patient's life and exerts negative effects on health-related quality of Life (HRQoL). However, the eff…

Endometriosis is a chronic disease characterized by the implantation and proliferation of endometrial tissue outside of the uterine cavity. The nonspecific nature of the symptoms and the lack of sensitive, noninvasive diagnostic methods oft…

(Abstracted from J Minim Invasive Gynecol 2021;28:2036–2046) This prospective cohort study was designed to determine sociodemographic, surgical, and psychologic risk factors (including pain sensitivity) for persistent postsurgical pain (PPS…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis is a benign disease, characterized by a wide range of symptoms and different degrees of severity, which is why therapy should be individually adapted to the patient's needs. Over the years, a lot of research has …

Endometriosis is a common gynecological disorder characterized by ectopic growth of endometrium outside the uterus and is associated with chronic pain and infertility. We investigated the role of the long intergenic noncoding RNA 01133 (LIN…

Endometriosis is a chronic gynecological disorder affecting the quality of life and fertility of many women around the world. Heterogeneous and non-specific symptoms may lead to a delay in diagnosis, with treatment options limited to surger…

Endometriosis appears to share certain cancer-related processes, such as cell attachment, invasion, proliferation and neovascularization, some of which can also be found in other healthy tissues. In order to better understand the altered mi…

Abstract Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease associated with an impaired immune response at the site of lesion implantation. The ability of macrophages to respond to changes in their environment is critical for an effective immu…

Research questionAre selected cell adhesion molecules useful as urinary biomarkers for diagnosing endometriosis?DesignProspective, longitudinal study (the Endometriosis Marker Austria) in patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery for beni…

STUDY QUESTION: Are increased sVCAM-1 and sICAM-1 levels associated with tumor necrosis factor-alpha-converting enzyme (TACE) activity in endometriosis? SUMMARY ANSWER: Here we provide the first functional evidence that induced TACE activi…

Research questionAs microRNA (miRNA) are stable in circulation, this study tested whether they could serve as putative non-invasive biomarkers for endometriosis, and their expression differences between endometriosis patients and controls. …

The objective of our pilot clinical, prospective study was to determine the serum levels of mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor, in of women with endometriosis and controls and explore whether mature brain-derived neurotrophic factor i…
