Endometriosis: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Treatment, volume II by Simone Ferrero,Abdel Halim Harrath,Mainak Dutta Pdf

*This Research Topic is a continuation of "Endometriosis: Pathogenesis, Diagnosis and Treatment"* Endometriosis is a benign gynecological condition that causes pain symptoms and infertility; these symptoms may significantly impair quality of life. It affects at least 4% of reproductive age women. Over the last 20 year several improvements have been made in the understanding of the molecular pathways involved in the pathogenesis of endometriosis which however remains to be fully elucidated. Transvaginal ultrasonography is the first line imaging technique used for the diagnosis of endometriosis, radiological imaging (such as magnetic resonance imaging and virtual colonoscopy) can be used for patients with suspicion of bowel or urinary tract endometriosis. Hormonal therapy is the first-line treatment of endometriosis related pain. First-line therapies are combined estroprogestins combinations and progestins. Second-line therapies include gonadotropin releasing hormone analogue and gonadotropin releasing hormone antagonist. Aromatase inhibitors have been proposed for the treatment of endometriosis but they are not approved for this use and they should be administered only in the setting of scientific research. Although, hormonal therapy decreases the intensity of pain symptoms, it is not curative, and symptoms usually recur after the discontinuation of treatment.

Endometriosis in Adolescents by Ceana H. Nezhat Pdf

Adolescent endometriosis is a previously overlooked disease in children, the true prevalence of which is still unknown but has been estimated between 19-73%. There are numerous initial challenges faced by adolescents suffering from delayed or undiagnosed endometriosis apart from experiencing chronic pain, such as: school/work absenteeism, false diagnoses/treatments, erroneous physician referrals, unnecessary radiological studies, radiation exposure, and emergency room visits as well as early exposure to narcotic pain medications and subsequent drug tolerance, resistance or even addiction. This text presents a clear history of physician and patient understanding and awareness of endometriosis in adolescents. It lays the groundwork for this condition with background information on endometriosis in general followed by a more focused look at endometriosis in adolescents. Leading experts in the field provide chapters on the different locations where endometriotic lesions can present in adolescents as well as identified risk factors and concomitant diseases of which it is important to be aware. In addition to the clinical presentation, this book also provides information on breaking down existing barriers, such as stigma, and current activism and awareness of this condition. Adolescent Endometriosis is a first-of-its-kind text that focuses exclusively on endometriosis in the adolescent population. Written by experts in the field, this book is a comprehensive resource for clinicians in all medical disciplines that treat adolescent age girls.

The first part covers a range of topics including stem cells, NK cells, macrophages, inflammation, cytokines, epigenetics, prostaglandin, sex steroids, aromatase, apoptosis, nerve fibers, and malignant transformation to aid in understanding the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of the disease. The second part provides useful tools for therapy, specifically, notable recent techniques in prevention, imaging, biomarkers, medical treatments, surgical treatments, prevention of recurrence, and infertility treatments.

Biomarkers for Endometriosis by Thomas D'Hooghe Pdf

This book presents an overview of the diagnostic performance of non- or semi-invasive tests for endometriosis in peripheral blood, endometrium, saliva, peritoneal fluid and urine. The value of existing and emerging systems biology technologies for biomarker development is addressed in several chapters on genetics, microarrays, proteomics and metabolomics. Although tests with high sensitivity and acceptable specificity have been developed, sometimes validated in independent populations and seem promising, more research is needed to translate these data into clinical benefit for patients and coordinate efforts internationally to standarize analysis, reports and operating procedures. The gold standard to diagnose endometriosis is currently through laparoscopic inspection with histological confirmation, a surgical procedure with rare but significant potential risks for the patients. A non-invasive test for endometriosis would be critical for the early detection of endometriosis of symptomatic women with pelvic pain and/or subfertility with normal ultrasound. This would include nearly all cases of minimal-mild endometriosis, some cases of moderate-severe endometriosis without a clearly visible ovarian endometrioma and cases with pelvic adhesions and/or other pelvic pathology, who might benefit from surgery to improve pelvic pain and/or subfertility. Such a test would also be useful in symptomatic women with ultrasound imaging suspicious for endometriosis, since it may be difficult to differentiate an ovarian endometrioma from other ovarian cysts and since the quality of ultrasound imaging is highly variable worldwide.
