A growing body of evidence suggests that endometriosis modulates the microenvironment of peritoneal cavity. Therefore, in this study, we compared the protein profile of peritoneal fluids from normal fertile women with those from patients with infertility, and patients with mild to severe endometriosis. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis of peritoneal fluids from normal subjects exhibited a dis...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to evaluate protein expression profile and quantify the proteins present in follicular fluid (FF) samples from women with endometriosis and pregnant women without endometriosis. METHODS A prospective case-control study was carried out including women with Stage III or IV endometriosis (Group I) and pregnant women without endometriosis (Group II), both at t...

BACKGROUND An early semi-invasive diagnosis of endometriosis has the potential to allow early treatment and minimize disease progression but no such test is available at present. Our aim was to perform a combined mRNA microarray and proteomic analysis on the same eutopic endometrium sample obtained from patients with and without endometriosis. METHODS mRNA and protein fractions were extracted...

Endometriosis is a chronic disease affecting approximately 10% of fertile women. These women often have negative health care experiences. This study adds new knowledge about endometriosis care in a hospital setting and nurses' attitudes toward the disease. To explore how the personal attitudes of gynecological nurses, their specialized knowledge, and their clinical experiences influenced the wa...
