The effect of immunomodulator leflunomide on the development of an experimental endometriosis model was assessed by surgically transplanting autologous fragments of endometrial tissue onto the inner surface of the abdominal wall and arterial cascades of the small intestines. Leflunomide was found to affect the development of endometriosis negatively and seemed to interfere with the growth and maintenance of the uterine explant in this experimental rat model.

Background: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBO) is a treatment modality that exposes patients to 100% oxygen at higher atmospheric pressures. Recently, HBO has emerged as a potential therapeutic option for various liver diseases, offering advantages such as improved tissue oxygenation, anti-inflammatory effects, enhanced wound healing, and potential hepatoprotective properties. Understanding the benefits of HBO in liver diseases can pave the way for novel therapeutic strategies and improved patient outcomes.
