Abstract

Adenomyosis is a uterine disorder becoming more commonly diagnosed in women of reproductive age because of diagnostic imaging advancements. The new epidemiological scenario and the clinical evidence of pelvic pain, abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility are changing the classic perspective of adenomyosis as a premenopausal disease. In the last decade, the evaluation of multiple molecular mediators has improved our knowledge of pathogenic mechanisms of adenomyosis, supporting that this is an independent disease from endometriosis. Although they share common genetic mutations and epigenetic changes in sex steroid hormone receptors and similar inflammatory mediators, an increasing number of recent studies have shown pathogenic pathways specific for adenomyosis. A PubMed search up to October 2016 summarizes the key mediators of pain, abnormal uterine bleeding and infertility in adenomyosis, including sex steroid hormone receptors, inflammatory molecules, extracellular matrix enzymes, growth factors and neuroangiogenic factors.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
