OBJECTIVE: Endovenous therapies are the current standard of care for managing pelvic venous disorders (PeVD) secondary to pelvic venous insufficiency. We previously reported superior short-term results after iliac vein stenting (ST) compare…
BACKGROUND: The diagnosis of symptomatic pelvic venous insufficiency (PVI) in women is complicated when concomitant gynecological disorders are present. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the prevalence of concomitant gyneco…
BACKGROUND: Obesity has been linked to chronic inflammation and insulin resistance and oxidative stress, which are all associated with the pathogenesis of endometriosis (EMs). This study aimed to investigate the associations between the eme…
BACKGROUND: As the precursor malignancy of endometrial cancer (EC), about 50% of endometrial complex atypical hyperplasia (CAH) will eventually progress to EC. Elucidating the underlying transformation mechanisms could aid in disease manage…
OBJECTIVE: To identify clinical characteristics and risk factors for adverse pregnancy outcomes after clinical pregnancy following laparoscopic tubal anastomosis (LTA). METHODS: Retrospective analysis of 253 patients undergoing LTA (May 20…
Endometriosis is a multifactorial disease associated with inflammation. Vitamin D has anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative, anti-oxidative, and immunomodulatory effects. Whether vitamin D levels are correlated with endometriosis is a subjec…
