Background: MRI diagnostics are important for adenomyosis, especially in cases with inconclusive ultrasound. This study assessed the potential of MRI-based radiomics as a novel tool for differentiating between uteri with and without adenomy…

INTRODUCTION: Psoriasis is a chronic disease of the skin with a prevalence of 2% in the general population. The high prevalence of psoriasis has prompted the study of its comorbidities in recent decades. We designed a study to determine the…

Background: Despite the availability of treatments such as surgery and hormonal therapy, women with endometriosis often endure chronic problems. This review aims to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of neuropelveology. Methods: In a sys…

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an autoimmune prothrombotic condition characterized by venous thromboembolism, arterial thrombosis, and pregnancy morbidity. Among neurological manifestations, arterial thrombosis is only one of the possib…

Endometriosis is an inflammatory chronic condition associated with nociceptive, neuropathic, and nociplastic pain. Central sensitization (CS) is the primary nociplastic pain mechanism. However, there are currently no standardized methods fo…

Endometriosis and adenomyosis are chronic gynecological conditions that significantly impact women's quality of life, leading to symptoms such as pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. Despite ongoing research, a definitive cure for th…

Systemic autoimmune rheumatic diseases (SARDs) in pregnancy represent a complex challenge for both patients and healthcare providers. Timely preparation for pregnancy enables adequate disease control, thereby reducing the risk of disease fl…

Background: Peritoneal sclerosis (PS) and its most severe form, encapsulating PS (EPS), are rare entities that can occur in various procedures (liver transplantation, intraperitoneal chemotherapy) or secondary to medications (beta-blockers)…

Objective: The objective was to examine the association between poor ovarian response to gonadotropin stimulation for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and adverse perinatal outcomes in singleton gestations in young patients. Methods: This was a…

Background/Objectives: Deep infiltrating endometriosis has been linked to worsened maternal and neonatal outcomes. However, reports regarding bowel endometriosis are still scanty. We aimed to evaluate pregnancy, delivery, and newborn advers…

Background/Objectives: This paper undertakes an investigation into the implications of premature progesterone rise (PPR) on pregnancy outcomes in freeze-all strategy cycles. Methods: A retrospective cohort study encompassing 675 IVF/ICSI cy…

Background: The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic led to several needed containment measures that conditioned the onset of depressive, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress symptoms in the population. These sy…

Objectives: Current guidelines recommend systematic screening for rheumatic diseases (RDs), including antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), in patients with recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL). However, these recommendations are based on limited evid…

Background/Objectives: The prevalence of endometriosis varies between 10% and 18%, while temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) concern between 29 and 34% of the general population. Both conditions share similar etiological factors and symptoms…

Endometriosis and hyperprolactinaemia are conditions that might lead to infertility as a consequence. The aim of this article was to present the current knowledge about possible relationships between prolactin/hyperprolactinaemia and endome…

Background/Objectives: This study investigated patient pain descriptors for transvaginal ultrasound (TVS) diagnostic evaluation of endometriosis for uterosacral ligaments (USLs), including correlation between USL thickness and site-specific…

Background: There are conflicting data regarding the detection rate of high-risk uterine sarcoma (HRUS) by endometrial biopsy. In addition, there are no studies in the literature on its impact on the chosen surgical approach and survival. M…

Artificial intelligence has yielded remarkably promising results in several medical fields, namely those with a strong imaging component. Gynecology relies heavily on imaging since it offers useful visual data on the female reproductive sys…

Background: POP (pelvic organ prolapse) involves the descent of one or more pelvic organs downwards with or without protrusion from the vaginal opening, caused by the relaxation and weakening of ligaments, connective tissue, and pelvic musc…

This review navigates the intricate relationship between gender, hormonal influences, and the progression of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), highlighting the limited literature on this crucial topic. The study explores…
