Endometriosis (EM) is defined as the engraftment and proliferation of functional endometrial-like tissue outside the uterine cavity, leading to a chronic inflammatory condition. While the precise etiology of EM remains elusive, recent studi…

Among gynecological cancers, endometrial cancer is the most common in developed countries. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are cell-derived membrane-surrounded vesicles that contain proteins involved in immune response and apoptosis. A deep pr…

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most frequent gynecologic cancer in postmenopausal women. Pathogenetic mechanisms that are related to the onset and progression of the disease are largely still unknown. A multi-omics strategy can help identif…

The female genital tract can be involved as a secondary manifestation of disseminated lymphomas or leukaemia but can rarely be the primary site of so-called extranodal lymphomas. Primary lymphomas of the female genital tract can affect the …

Abstract Endometriosis is a gynecological disease characterized by the presence of endometrial tissue in abnormal locations, leading to severe symptoms, inflammation, pain, organ dysfunction, and infertility. Surgical removal of endometrios…

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy of the endometrium. This study focuses on EC and normal endometrium phosphoproteome to identify differentially phosphorylated proteins involved in tumorigenic signalling path…

Endometriosis (EM) is a common multifactorial gynaecological disorder. Although Genome-Wide Association Studies have largely been employed, the current knowledge of the genetic mechanisms underlying EM is far from complete, and other approa…

Endometrial cancers (ECs) are mostly adenocarcinomas arising from the inner part of the uterus. The identification of serum biomarkers, either soluble or carried in the exosome, may be useful in making an early diagnosis. We used label-free…

Multiple observational studies have found an association of uterine prolapse with uterine retroversion. Mechanisms proposed to explain this apparent association assume that the cervix of a retroverted uterus will usually insert at the apex …

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common gynecologic malignancy, and it arises in the inner part of the uterus. Identification of serum biomarkers is essential for diagnosing the disease at an early stage. In this study, we selected 44 he…

Background and Objectives: Uterine fibroids still represent the most common indication for hysterectomy for benign pathologies. In the United States, more than 479,000 hysterectomies are performed annually, 46.6% for myomas and 47.7% in wom…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a disease affecting 10-15 % of women worldwide, consisting in the ectopic growth of endometrial cells outside the uterine cavity. Whist the pathogenetic mechanisms of endometriosis remain elusive and contemplati…

Endometrial cancer (EC) is the most frequent gynaecologic cancer in postmenopausal women. We used 2D-DIGE and mass spectrometry to identify candidate biomarkers in endometrial cancer, analysing the serum protein contents of 10 patients vers…

The female genital tract can be involved as a secondary manifestation of disseminated lymphomas or leukemia but can rarely be the primary site of so-called extranodal lymphomas. Primary lymphomas of the female genital tract can affect the u…

AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of adequacy, accuracy, and safety of ultrasound-guided tru-cut biopsy in managing malignant and benign abdominopelvic masses in a selected population and critically discuss some iss…

An acquired uterine artery myometrial pseudoaneurysm can occur due to inflammation, trauma, or iatrogenic causes, such as surgical procedures, and can lead to profuse bleeding. The efficacy of uterine manipulators in gynecological surgery, …

Endometriosis (EM) is a chronic disease characterized by the presence and proliferation of functional endometrial glands and stroma outside the uterine cavity. Ovaries and pelvic peritoneum are the most common locations for endometrial ecto…

OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate laparoscopic surgical management of parametrial ectopic pregnancy. DESIGN: Video presentation of laparoscopic nerve-sparing treatment of parametrial pregnancy. SETTING: Tertiary university center. PATIENT(S): A …

INTRODUCTION: Abdominal-pelvic mass, ascites and pleural effusion are suggestive of malignant metastatic ovarian cancer. This triad is also present in a rare benign condition called Meigs syndrome. Rarely this condition is associated with a…

Basic and translational research in reproductive medicine can provide new insights with the application of scanning probe microscopies, such as atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM). These microscop…

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of endometriosis and evaluation of incidence data are complex tasks because the disease is identified laparoscopically and confirmed histologically. Incidence estimates reported in literature are widely inconsistent, p…

OBJECTIVE: To identify the possible causes of spontaneous bladder rupture after normal vaginal delivery and to propose a diagnostic and therapeutic algorithm. MATERIAL AND METHODS: MEDLINE (PubMed), Web of Science and Scopus databases were…
