BACKGROUND: A women's chances of getting pregnant decreases in cases of infertility, which may have several clinical etiologies. The prevalence of infertility is estimated as 10-15% worldwide. One of the causes of infertility is endometrios…

BACKGROUND: The quality of life (QoL) of patients with endometriosis and infertility was assessed in different stages and correlated with the clinical features of the cases. METHODS: The present study was a cross-sectional study; 106 women…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease with an unknown pathogenesis that can lead to infertility. Endometrial polyps, fibroids, and polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) have relatively high frequency and are causes of infertility. We hypothes…

Descrever o perfil epidemiológico e clínico de pacientes inférteis com endometriose. Estudo transversal que avaliou 450 prontuários de mulheres que procuraram tratamentos de reprodução assistida entre outubro de 2006 e maio de 2012. Analisa…

BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Considering the complex cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in endometriosis formation and progression and the similarities concerning the association of endometriosis with tumorigenesis and metastasis, we hypoth…

OBJECTIVE: To consider a possible cumulative effect of two genetic polymorphisms (FOXP3 C-2383T/rs3761549 and FCRL3 C-169T/rs7528684) that were previously shown to be associated with endometriosis. DESIGN: Genetic association study. SETTI…

An autoimmune aetiology has been suggested for endometriosis mostly on the basis of an increased prevalence of autoimmune diseases in affected women. Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen (CTLA) 4 gene is recognized as a primary determinant for au…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate FOXP3 polymorphisms (rs3761549, rs3761548, rs2232368, rs2232366, and rs2280883) in a group of infertile women with and without endometriosis and controls. DESIGN: Case control study. SETTING: Human Reproduction Outp…

PURPOSE: to evaluate the frequency of VDR gene polymorphism Fok1 in infertile women with endometriosis and Control and its relation to the disease. METHODS: a case-control study that included 147 infertile women with endometriosis and 154 …

An aberrant immunologic mechanism has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Genetic alterations in the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) may lead to important defects in gene activation that principally affect immu…

OBJECTIVE: To describe the evolution of controlled ovarian hyperstimulation in women with recurrent ovarian endometriomas treated with sclerotherapy. METHODS: Twenty-one patients with a laparoscopic diagnosis of stage III or IV endometrios…

An aberrant immunologic mechanism has been suggested to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. Fc receptor-like 3 gene (FCRL3) has been proposed as a novel autoimmune predisposing factor. The authors have hypothesized a possible …

An aberrant immunological mechanism is thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis. The present study aimed to determine whether there is a relationship between endometriosis and/or infertility and the FCRL3 C-169T polymorph…

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the combination of PR (PROGINS), ERβ G+1730A and/or LHβ G1502A polymorphisms in infertile women with and without endometriosis and in a control group increases the risk of infertility and/or endometriosis. …

Estrogens are important factors in the development of endometriosis, and can induce cell proliferation and stimulate cell division. COMT constitutes a crucial element in estrogen metabolism and has been suggested to be involved in the devel…

OBJETIVO: avaliar a frequência e o quadro clínico de pacientes com endometriose incisional. MÉTODOS: estudo retrospectivo descritivo a partir da revisão de prontuários de pacientes submetidas à ressecção de nódulos em cicatriz cirúrgica na …

AIMS: The aim of this study was to evaluate urokinase-type plasminogen activator gene (uPA) and thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor gene (TAFI) genotypes in a group of infertile women with and/or without endometriosis and controls. …

PURPOSE: to evaluate the frequency and clinical picture of patients with incisional endometriosis. METHODS: retrospective descriptive study performed from the medical records of patients that underwent nodules resection in the surgical sca…
