Endometriosis is a complex, estrogen-dependent disease with limited effective treatments that often focus on symptom management rather than addressing the underlying pathology. Current therapies, such as progestins and GnRH agonists, have s…

Introduction: Female technology or 'femtech' is the availability of mobile applications (apps) to monitor specific aspects of women's health. It touts the benefits of technology to empower women with regards to their health, while also allo…

Objective: Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) affects up to 3 million people in the United States. Although 78%-83% of POTS patients are female, gynecologic comorbidity has not been well-studied. We created an online questionn…

Background: Endometriosis is a chronic condition that affects the endometrium, the lining of the uterus. The endometrium typically thickens and discharges during the menstrual cycle, resulting in menstruation. Endometriosis is characterized…

BACKGROUND: This study is to compare the time to pregnancy (TTP) between patients with endometriosis and nonendometriosis undergoing in vitro fertilisation (IVF).Material and Methods.This is an observational retrospective cohort study. We i…

Background. Endometriosis is a benign disorder that is generally defined as the presence of endometrial glands and stroma outside their normal location. TGF-β1 is found in stromal cells and its expression is increased in epithelial cells of…

Background . Endometriosis a disease of theories, and one of the important causes of chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia, and subfertility. Surgery is the mainstay step for the diagnosis; noninvasive test is the goal in the futur…

Endometriosis is strongly associated with infertility. Endometrial polyps are prevalent in infertile women and they have similar pathological characteristics to endometriosis, suggesting a possible association. Uterine malformations as uter…

A comprehensive review was performed to survey the role of angiogenesis in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. This is a multifactorial disease in which the development and maintenance of endometriotic implants depend on their invasive capac…

In this study, leptin/BMI ratio in serum and peritoneal fluid and gene expression of leptin and long form leptin receptor (OB-RL) were assessed in eutopic and ectopic endometria of women with endometriosis and controls. Increased serum lept…

In the genetic regulation of Müllerian structures development, a key role is played by Hoxa and Wnt clusters, because they lead the transcription of different genes according to the different phases of the organogenesis, addressing correctl…

Endometriosis and uterine fibroids are important, common pathological conditions that impose a major healthcare burden. Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity and represents one of the m…

Endometriosis is a common cause of pelvic pain and infertility. The majority of women report symptoms since adolescence, and there are rare cases of endometriosis in premenarchal age patients. Symptoms in adolescence are similar to those in…

Background. The relationship between tubal cornual polyps and endometriosis and ovulatory disorders in infertile women is unclear. Our objective was to determine such an association from our database and review the literature. Methods. Twen…

Endometriosis is a multifactorial disease with poorly understood etiology, and reflecting an evolutionary nature where genetic alterations accumulate throughout pathogenesis. Our objective was to characterize the heterogeneous pathological …

Classically, the diagnosis of adenomyosis has only been possible on a hysterectomy specimen, usually in women in their late fourth and fifth decades, and, therefore, evaluating any relationship with infertility was simply not possible. As a…

Hysterectomy is the commonest gynecologic operation performed not only for malignant disease but also for many benign conditions such as fibroids, endometrial hyperplasia, adenomyosis, uterine prolapse, dysfunctional uterine bleeding, and c…

Long-term outcomes, in terms of cervical stump symptoms and overall patient satisfaction, were studied in women both after abdominal (SAH) and laparosocopic (LSH) supracervical hysterectomies. Altogether, 134 women had SAH and 315 women LSH…

Case Report. A 37 years old patient at 40 weeks gestation presented with acute severe hypoxia with a seizure followed by fetal bradycardia. Caesarean section was performed under GA and she was intubated and ventilated. History revealed long…
