Background: Endometriosis is a chronic condition commonly presenting with pain symptoms and infertility. Endometriosis can only be diagnosed definitively at laparocopy. In view of the absence of reliable tools that can establish the diagnosis in a non-invasive way, there is a strong need for clinical prediction. Objective: To investigate the value of pain symptoms in prediction and staging of e...

Thoracic endometriosis syndrome is a rare and complex condition, and diagnosis is often delayed or missed by clinicians, which can result in rec...

Endometriosis, is a disorder affecting as many as 15% of women of childbearing age, is defined as the aberrant or heterotopic growth of glands and stroma identical to the lining uterus. Endometriosis, can be macroscopically identified generally confined to the pelvis, but it can proliferate in other areas like pleura, skin, extremities, lung, spleen, gallbladder, stomach, kidney and abdominal w...

BACKGROUND So far, non-invasive diagnostic approaches such as ultrasound, magnetic resonance imaging, or blood tests do not have sufficient diagnostic power for endometriosis disease. Lack of a non-invasive diagnostic test contributes to the long delay between onset of symptoms and diagnosis of endometriosis. OBJECTIVE The present study focuses on the identification of predictive biomarkers i...
