Horizons in Endometriosis: Proceedings of the Montreux Reproductive Summit, 14-15 July 2023.

Endometriosis is a complex and chronic gynaecological disorder that affects millions of women worldwide, leading to significant morbidity and impacting reproductive health. This condition affects up to 10% of women of reproductive age and is characterised by the presence of endometrial-like tissue outside the uterus, potentially leading to symptoms such as chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhoea, dyspareunia, and infertility. The Montreux summit brought a number of experts in this field together to provide a platform for discussion and exchange of ideas.

Association of endometriosis with Sjögren's syndrome: Genetic insights (Review).

Patients with a history of endometriosis have an increased risk of developing various autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, multiple sclerosis and celiac disease. There is a potential association between endometriosis and an increased susceptibility for Sjögren's syndrome (SS). SS is a common chronic, inflammatory, systemic, autoimmune, multifactorial disease of complex pathology, with genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors contributing to the development of this condition.

Challenges in medically assisted reproduction - Ethics, law and society: An invited scientific review by the European Board and College of Obstetrics and Gynaecology (EBCOG).

Τhe methods of medically assisted reproduction (MAR) are being widely applied all over the world ever since the birth of Louise Brown, the first child conceived after in vitro fertilization (IVF) of a human oocyte and subsequent transfer into the uterus of the ensuing embryo. The possible risks associated with the application of the different MAR methods have given rise to a debate concerning the necessity of a regulatory framework regarding the application of these methods especially in view of the crucial and ambiguous legal and ethical issues attached.
