OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study is to evaluate the intensity of five antibodies against extractable nuclear antigens (ENA: RNP, ScL-70, SS-B, SS-A, and Sm) in infertile patients with endometriosis. METHODS: We investigated infertile women…

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to investigate the association between the concentrations of soluble human leukocyte G antigen (sHLA-G) in the follicular fluid (FF) in infertile patients with peritoneal endometriosis submitted …

OBJECTIVE: To compare Transforming growth factor beta-1 (TGF-β1) expression in patients with and without adenomyosis. METHODS: A prospective design was performed including 49 patients submitted to hysterectomy. Immunohistochemistry was per…

Objetivo: Determinar a qualidade do embrião (média de escore embrionário graduado [EEG]) em pacientes inférteis com endometriose submetidas à fertilização in vitro com transferência de embrião (FIV-TE) em comparação com pacientes inférteis …

OBJECTIVE: Endometriosis is associated with infertility, even without an anatomical abnormality. Furthermore, the peritoneal (mild) phenotype of this disease is the most prevalent and linked to infertility. The present study aimed to invest…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study is to investigate embryo quality (score) after controlled ovarian stimulation for IVF using rFSH or hMG with the GnRH antagonist protocol. METHODS: Open, randomized, single center study. The patients…

OBJECTIVE: To determine embryo quality (mean graduated embryo score [GES]) in infertile patients with endometriosis undergoing in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer (IVF-ET) compared with infertile patients without endometriosis. MET…

Abstract Objective To determine embryo quality (mean graduated embryo score [GES]) in infertile patients with endometriosis undergoing in vitro fertilization with embryo transfer (IVF-ET) compared with infertile patients without endometrios…

OBJECTIVE: to compare the effect of administering diclofenac sodium and/or oral hyoscine in pain perception during and after outpatient diagnostic hysteroscopy without anesthesia. STUDY DESIGN: a randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled…

PURPOSE: Adenomyosis has been studied throughout the years, however, its aetiology and physiopathology are still unknown. The aim of this study was to identify the presence of PIWI proteins in women with adenomyosis. METHODS: We included 7…

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the correlation between the numerical rating scale, visual analogue scale, and pressure threshold by algometry in women with chronic pelvic pain. STUDY DESIGN: This was a cross-sectional study. We included 47 pati…

OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to compare the endometrial expression of milk fat globule-EGF factor 8 (MFG-E8), its receptor integrin αvβ3, and leukemia inhibitory factor (LIF) in patients with endometriosis and infertility and in hea…

PURPOSE: The purpose of this paper is to determine whether there is a correlation between polymorphisms in the growth differentiation factor-9 (GDF-9) gene and anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) gene and its receptor, AMHR2, and endometriosis-ass…

PURPOSE: To verify if polymorphisms of LH (Trp8Arg/Ile15Thr), LH receptor (insLQ), and FSH receptor (Asn680Ser) are associated with endometriosis and infertility. METHODS: This is a prospective case-control study. Sixty-seven patients with…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the prevalence of dopamine receptor D2 polymorphisms in patients with peritoneal endometriosis and in healthy control subjects. DESIGN: Case-control study. SETTING: University hospital. PATIENT(S): One hundred seven…

PURPOSE: To verify whether carriers of common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the FSH receptor (FSHR) show reduced responsiveness of antral follicles to FSH administration as assessed by the FORT. METHODS: We performed a prospect…

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have associated chronic pelvic pain with a stereotyped pattern of movement and posture, lack of normal body sensations, a characteristic pain distribution. We aimed at evaluating if these postural changes are de…

BACKGROUND: Pain is strongly related to poor quality of life. We performed a cross-sectional study in a university hospital to investigate quality of life in women suffering from chronic pelvic pain (CPP) due to endometriosis and others con…

In the present study, interleukin (IL)-10, IL-12, IL-17, and IL-23 levels were measured in serum and peritoneal fluid of women with minimal or mild endometriosis and compared with levels in controls without endometriosis. Higher IL-23 level…
