BACKGROUND: Precocious puberty (PP) is defined as premature pubertal development. Its consequences surpass the physical evidence of sexual maturity with the premature epiphyseal closure of the long bones and the reduction of adult stature b…

BACKGROUND: The association between gynecological diagnoses and their distribution in the health sectors provides benefits in the field of women's health promotion and in medical and interdisciplinary education, along with rationalization a…

INTRODUCTION: Endometriosis affects several aspects of a woman's life, including sexual function, but which specific aspects of sexual function remains unclear. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was performed involving 1001 women divided in…

Objetivo : Avaliar a eficacia e a seguranca do estrogenio potencializado em comparacao com o placebo no tratamento homeopatico da dor pelvica associada a endometriose (DPAE). Desenho do estudo : Ensaio randomizado, duplo-cego e placebo-cont…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of potentized estrogen compared to placebo in homeopathic treatment of endometriosis-associated pelvic pain (EAPP). STUDY DESIGN: The present was a 24-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-c…

BACKGROUND: Laparoscopic stripping is the gold-standard treatment for ovarian endometriosis. The choice of hemostasis method might affect ovarian reserve. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether bipolar electrocoagulation is more detrimental to o…

The physiopathology of endometriosis is not completely understood and its progression is associated with a local and systemic inflammatory reaction. It is important to clarify the potential role of the immune system to better understand its…

Adenomyosis is characterized by the presence of ectopic foci of endometrial glandular tissue and/or stroma within the myometrium. The diagnosis of adenomyosis is traditionally made through histologic evaluation of the postsurgical specimen.…

BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes difficult-to-treat pelvic pain. Thus being, many patients seek help in complementary and alternative medicine, including homeopathy. The effectiveness of homeopathic tr…

Up to 15% of the reproductive population is infertile, and 3 to 5% of these cases are caused by uterine dysfunction. This abnormality generally leads women to consider surrogacy or adoption. Uterine transplantation, although still experimen…

PURPOSE: Endometriosis is a prevalent disease that affects 5-15 % of women of reproductive age. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of dienogest in the treatment of endometriosis. METHODS: The search was applied to electronic dat…

OBJECTIVE: To compare the expression of stem cell-related genes in the endometrium (END), superficial endometriosis (SE), and deep infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). STUDY DESIGN: We performed a prospective pilot study of six women sufferin…

Objective: To evaluate the feasibility and safety of a novel model for providing minimally invasive surgical (MIS) care to underserved populations. Design: A prospective pilot study with patients affected by diverse benign pathologies of th…

OBJECTIVE: despite endometriosis being a common disease, where early detection is key to preventing its progression, it is a condition often overlooked in adolescents. The aim of this study was to report the clinical characteristics of adol…

Endometriosis is a benign gynecological disease that is related to immune response alterations. T regulatory cells modulate immune response, and Foxp3 seems to be the best marker of these cells. This study evaluated Foxp3 mRNA expression in…

BACKGROUND: Very few studies have evaluated the expression of homeobox A10 (HOXA10) and steroid (estrogen and progesterone) receptors exclusively in deep endometriosis. Conclusions drawn from studies evaluating peritoneal and ovarian endome…

Our understanding of the pathogenesis of endometriosis is rapidly evolving as early molecular events are increasingly identified. Endometriosis is associated with increased risk of ovarian cancer and exhibits neoplastic phenotypes including…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate serum and peritoneal concentrations of amyloid protein A in women with endometriosis and to compare them with those of women without endometriosis. STUDY DESIGN: A prospective study evaluated 76 women suspected of ha…

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the expression of chemokines that regulate natural killer (NK) and T-regulatory (T-reg) cell activity in eutopic and ectopic endometrial tissue samples from endometriosis patients. DESIGN: Case-control study (Canadia…

OBJECTIVE: Differentiation between benign and malignant ovarian neoplasms is essential for creating a system for patient referrals. Therefore, the contributions of the tumor markers CA125 and human epididymis protein 4 (HE4) as well as the …
