Determinants of Conception and Adverse Pregnancy Outcomes in Women with Endometriosis: A Longitudinal Study.

Endometriosis, affecting approximately 10% of reproductive-aged women globally, poses significant challenges, including chronic pelvic pain, dysmenorrhea, and infertility. In low- and middle-income countries like India, accessibility to affordable infertility care remains a concern. This multicenter prospective cohort study, conducted across six tertiary care hospitals in India from 2017 to 2022, aims to explore the natural progression of conception and pregnancy outcomes in women with endometriosis.

Arsenic exposure from drinking water and staple food (rice): A field scale study in rural Bengal for assessment of human health risk.

Arsenic is a well-known carcinogen with emerging reports showing a range of health outcomes even for low to moderate levels of exposure. This study deals with arsenic exposure and associated increased lifetime cancer risk for populations in arsenic-endemic regions of rural Bengal, where arsenic-safe drinking water is being supplied at present. We found a median total exposure of inorganic arsenic to be 2.

Protocol for a case-control study investigating the clinical phenotypes and genetic regulation of endometriosis in Indian women: the ECGRI study.

Introduction: Endometriosis is one of the common, gynaecological disorders associated with chronic pelvic pain and subfertility affecting ~10% of reproductive age women. The clinical presentation, etiopathogenesis of endometriosis subtypes and associated risk factors are largely unknown. Genome-Wide Association (GWA) Studies (GWAS) provide strong evidence for the role of genetic risk factors contributing to endometriosis.
