Chronic pelvic pain (CPP) severely impacts quality of life, presenting distinct perioperative management challenges. Patients face heightened anxiety, severe postoperative pain, prolonged recovery from fear of movement, and persistent pain …

INTRODUCTION: Ovarian cancer (OC) poses significant challenges due to its high mortality rate, particularly in advanced stages where symptoms may not be evident. DNA repair mechanisms, including nucleotide excision repair (NER), are crucial…

Endometriosis is defined as the presence of endometrial gland and stroma outside the uterine cavity. It is an estrogen-dependent disease and is associated with chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, dyspareunia and infertility. The treatment of…

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of an electromagnetic field (EMF), generated close to the ovaries, on primordial follicles. A total of 16 rats were used in this study. The study group consisted of rats exposed to an EMF in …

AIMS: To determine the effects of different doses of melatonin treatment on endometrial implants, the activity of antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD), the angiogenesis factor, the vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and the …

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to determine the effects of melatonin treatment on endometrial implants in an oopherectomized rat endometriosis model. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study is a prospective, randomised, controlled experimental study. It was…

Didelphic uterus with obstructed hemivagina and ipsilateral renal agenesis is a rare condition. It usually presents with pelvic pain following the menarche, dysmenorrhoea, and an increase in abdominal volume or a palpable mass due to unilat…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of etanercept (anti-TNF-α) on surgically induced endometriosis in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is a prospective, randomized, controlled, experimental study that was carried out at the Experim…

Endometriosis is still a poorly understood disease. Endometriosis is frequently seen within pelvic region. But, its presentation is highly variable, particularly in extragenital sites, making diagnosis difficult and potentially delaying tre…

The effects of water collected from an industrially polluted river in a rat model with surgically induced endometriosis were investigated in this preliminary study. Exposure to industrially polluted water resulted in regressed endometriotic…

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Endometriosis is regarded as a complex disese, in which genetic and environmental factors contribute to the disease phenotype. Whether vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) -460 C/T and +405 G/C polymorphisms are associ…

Endometriosis is regarded as a complex trait, in which genetic and environmental factors contribute to the disease phenotype. We investigated whether the interleukin (IL) 1beta (+3953) polymorphism is associated with the severity of endomet…

OBJECTIVE: The role of cytokines and nitric oxide (NO) in ovarian folliculogenesis and the development of mature and fertilizable oocytes is controversial. The aim of this study is to determine the concentrations of interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of the combination of letrozole and melatonin on surgically induced endometriosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This prospective, randomized, controlled, experimental study was carried out at Yeditepe Universit…

OBJECTIVE: To determine the effects of letrozole and melatonin on surgically induced endometriosis in a rat endometriosis model. DESIGN: Prospective, randomized, controlled, experimental study. SETTING: Experimental Research Center of Yed…

CONTEXT: Products of at least five specific steroidogenic genes, including steroidogenic acute regulatory protein (StAR), which facilitates the entry of cytosolic cholesterol into the mitochondrion, side chain cleavage P450 enzyme, 3beta-hy…
