Endometriosis is a benign chronic inflammatory estrogen-dependent disease and a well-known cause of infertility. Endometriosis may have a direct harmful effect on fertility not only due to the presence of adhesions and anatomic distortions, but also because of the intrinsic negative impact on oocyte development, embryogenesis, or implantat...
Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB) is a common medical emergency. In Western countries, its incidence was estimated to be over 100 cases per 100 000 adults per year. Fortunately, the mortality rates of AUGIB have decreased over the past few decades, largely attributable to improvements in endoscopic and pharmacological therapies...
Pathogenesis of adenomyosis involves sex steroid hormone abnormalities, inflammation, fibrosis and neuro angiogenesis, even though the proposed mechanisms are not fully understood. Nowadays, adenomyosis may also be diagnosed by non-invasive techniques, because of imaging advancements.     Adenomyosis often coexists with other gynecologic...

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are two pathological conditions often strictly related, even if a clear relationship of causality has not been demonstrated. GERD is a frequent comorbidity in IPF patients, as demonstrated using combined multichannel intraluminal impedance-pH, despite being...
Key Information: Progesterone is essential for the maintenance of a healthy pregnancy. Progesterone is frequently prescribed to patients presenting with per vaginal (PV) bleeding in early pregnancy and a history of recurrent pregnancy loss.
