Ibero-American Endometriosis Patient Phenome: Demographics, Obstetric-Gynecologic Traits, and Symptomatology.

An international collaborative study was conducted to determine the demographic and clinical profiles of Hispanic/Latinx endometriosis patients from Latin America and Spain using the Minimal Clinical Questionnaire developed by the World Endometriosis Research Foundation (WERF) Endometriosis Phenome and Biobanking Harmonization Project (EPHect). This is a cross-sectional study to collect self-reported data on demographics, lifestyle, and endometriosis symptoms of Hispanic/Latinx endometriosis patients from April 2019 to February 2020. The EPHect Minimal Clinical Questionnaire (EPQ-M) was translated into Spanish.

Endometriosis: advances and controversies in classification, pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment.

Endometriosis is an enigmatic disease that could start at birth. Its pathogenesis is supported by different theories. Accumulating facts relate it to a multigenic disorder.

Three-dimensional multislice helical computed tomography techniques for canine extra-hepatic portosystemic shunt assessment.

The purpose of the present study was to investigate the feasibility and usefulness of three-dimensional (3D) multislice computed tomography (CT) angiography with maximum intensity projection (MIP) and volume rendering (VR) in six dogs with clinical and sonographic findings suggestive of portosystemic shunt. Furthermore, we aimed to estimate the diameter of the portal vein and shunt vessels. MIP and VR reconstructions were performed for each patient and the origin and insertion of all shunt vessels were detected.

Comparison of Laparoscopic versus Conventional Treatment of Ovarian Endometrioma.

An observational prospective cohort study was conducted with a historical control group and 140 infertile women with the laparoscopic diagnosis of ovarian endometrioma over 1 cm diameter. The groups were comparable regarding age, duration of infertility, and disease severity. All patients had a follow-up of 12 months after treatment, and at least one patent tube.
