Systematic, noninvasive endometriosis diagnosis in transvaginal sonography by the Swiss Society of Ultrasound in Medicine.

We present a new systematic, comprehensive, checklist-based sonographic assessment of endometriosis in the female true pelvis. Emphasis is placed on practical skills teaching. The newly introduced White Sliding Line (WSL) is the core structure.

Impact of family history for endometriosis, migraine, depression and early menopause on endometriosis symptoms, localization and stage: A case control study.

Introduction: Endometriosis is a common disabling pain condition in women of childbearing age, frequently showing familial clustering. Nevertheless, little is known about whether familial predispositions influence its severity or presentation. In this study, we investigate disease characteristics in endometriosis patients with a family history (FH) for endometriosis or the comorbidities migraine, depression and early menopause (EMP).

Endometriosis features and dienogest tolerability in women with depression: a case-control study.

Objective: Primary aim of this study was to investigate endometriosis characteristics of patients with psychiatric conditions or depression. The secondary aim was to study tolerability of dienogest in this context.

Methods: This observational case-control study included endometriosis data from patients visiting our clinic from 2015-2021.

Endometriosis Features in Women With and Without Migraine.

This study examines endometriosis (EM) features in women with EM and migraines (MG) (EM-MG) and women with EM alone (EM-O). The comorbidity of MG and EM is well known. However, knowledge about differences in symptoms, clinical manifestations, and severity of EM between EM-MG and EM-O is scarce.

Judging Urgency in 343 Ectopic Pregnancies Prior to Surgery - The Importance of Transvaginal Sonographic Diagnosis of Intraabdominal Free Blood.

Objectives: Assessing urgency in ectopic pregnancies (ECP) remains controversial since the disorder covers a large clinical spectrum. Severe conditions such as acute abdomen or hemodynamic instability are mostly related to intra-abdominal blood loss diagnosed as free fluid (FF) on transvaginal sonography (TVS). The aims of the current study were to investigate the value of FF and to assess other potentially predictive parameters for judging urgency.

Effects of vitamin D supplementation in endometriosis: a systematic review.

Background: There is a growing body of human, animal and in vitro studies on vitamin D (vit D) substitution in endometriosis. The aim of this systematic review is to critically appraise and qualitatively synthesize the results of the available studies that examine the supplementation of vit D for endometriosis treatment.

Methods: A systematic search of the literature was conducted in four electronic databases (Medline, Cochrane, Scopus, Embase) and grey literature for original research articles on humans, animals and in vitro models published in any language.

Examining the Influence on Perceptions of Endometriosis via Analysis of Social Media Posts: Cross-sectional Study.

Background: Social media platforms, such as Facebook and Instagram, are increasingly being used to share health-related information by "influencers," regular users, and institutions alike. While patients may benefit in various ways from these interactions, little is known about the types of endometriosis-related information published on social media. As digital opinion leaders influence the perceptions of their followers, physicians need to be aware about ideas and beliefs that are available online, in order to address possible misconceptions and provide optimal patient care.

First case of four spontaneously conceived successful pregnancies after fertility-sparing surgery for cervical cancer.

Cervical cancer represents a particular burden when affecting women in their fertile years. Fertility-sparing surgery such as trachelectomy can maintain a woman`s childbearing ability. Favorable outcomes are possible, as depicted in this case.

Popularity of endocrine endometriosis drugs and limited alternatives in the present and foreseeable future: A survey among 1420 affected women.

Objectives: Endocrine drugs represent an important cornerstone of endometriosis therapy. Pharmaceutical alternatives with similar efficacy remain out of sight in the near future. Aim of this study is to investigate attitudes and perceptions concerning endocrine therapies among affected women.

Ibrutinib in Gynecological Malignancies and Breast Cancer: A Systematic Review.

Ibrutinib is an orally available, small-molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor. Its main purpose is to inhibit Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK), an enzyme that is crucial in B cell development. It is FDA approved for the treatment of certain hematological malignancies.
