AIM To develop Croatian and Slovenian versions of the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP) Questionnaire. METHODS The English original version of the OHIP questionnaire was translated into Croatian (OHIP-CRO14) and Slovenian (OHIP-SVN14) language by a forward-backward translation method. The psychometric properties of the OHIP-CRO14 and OHIP-SVN14 were tested. Concurrent validity was tes...

objective(s): the purpose of this study was to conduct a meta-analysis on human micrornas (mirnas) expression data of endometriosis tissue profiles versus those of normal controls and to identify novel putative diagnostic markers. materials andmethods: pubmed, embase, web of science, ovid medline were used to search for endometriosis mirna expression profiling studies of endometriosis. the mirn...

background: coronary heart disease is one of the most important problems of public health. one risk factor is dyslipidemia. evidence from molecular and animal research and epidemiologic investigations indicate that calcium intake may influence lipid metabolism.but intervention studies have produced conflicting results.objective of this study was to determine the effects of calcium supplementati...

Introduction More than 50% of women with endometriosis report that they suffer from sexual dysfunctions, the most significant which is pain, can subsequently be associated stress, anxiety, depression. The aim this study was to evaluate relationship between function, anxiety and depression together values stress hormones such as cortisol prolactin in endometriosis. Objectives Endometriosis occur...

The Nottingham Health Profile (NHP) is easy to use with stroke patients and may be used with those who cannot manage more complicated mood questionnaires, such as the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ). Stroke patients rate their health, and especially emotions and feelings of social isolation, as much worse than that of people of similar age. NHP emotion scores correlate with objective measure...

STUDY QUESTION Does surgical and low-dose progestin treatment differentially affect endometriosis-associated severe deep dyspareunia in terms of sexual functioning, psychological status and health-related quality of life? SUMMARY ANSWER Surgery and progestin treatment achieved essentially similar benefits at 12-month follow-up, but with different temporal trends. WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN Conse...

STUDY QUESTION Is there a contribution of the minor allele at the KRAS single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) rs61764370 in the let-7 microRNA-binding site to endometriosis risk? SUMMARY ANSWER We found no evidence for association between endometriosis risk and rs61764370 or any other SNPs in KRAS. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY The rs61764370 SNP in the 3' untranslated region of the KRAS gene is pred...

STUDY QUESTION Is mRNA expression of LDL receptors altered in deep bowel endometriotic foci? SUMMARY ANSWER: mRNA expression of LDL receptors is up-regulated in deep bowel endometriotic foci of patients with endometriosis. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Several studies have demonstrated the overexpression of low-density lipoprotein receptors in various tumour cell lines and endometriosis has similar a...

Endometriosis is characterized by the presence of endometrial-like tissue located outside the uterine cavity. Recent evidence suggests that endometriosis may be an epigenetic disease, as well as an estrogen-dependent disease. Based on the unique steroid hormone receptor expression profile observed in endometriotic lesions as compared to eutopic endometrium, the present study aimed to gain furth...

Here we analysed rare and acute complications of endometriosis in pregnant women by searching Cochrane, HINARY, PubMed databases. Keywords were “rare”, “causes”, “acute”, “complications”, “endometriosis”, “pregnancy”. The search depth was 10 years (2011−2021). In total, found 126 publications, 41 which met the selection criteria. course pregnancy childbirth patients with is insufficiently studi...
