The "Loveline" cohost draws outrage for his comments on endometriosis</h2>
<span class="byline" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; display: inline-block; font-family: BentonSansBold, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 24px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 10px 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase; vertical-align: baseline;"><a class="gaTrackLinkEvent" data-ga-track-json="["author","click", "Mary Elizabeth Williams"]" href="http://www.salon.com/writer/mary_elizabeth_williams/" rel="author" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: black; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">MARY ELIZABETH WILLIAMS</a></span><br />
<br />
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Dr. Drew Pinsky is a board certified internist and assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at USC, but most of us know him better as radio and cable television’s most tireless ambulance chaser. Over the years, he’s doled out a variety of less than sound and/or helpful ideas. But when he speculated recently to a “Loveline” caller about his fiancée’s endometriosis, he definitively made the case against getting medical advice from flippant talk show hosts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
As Erin Gloria Ryan first noted on Jezebel, Pinsky was fielding a call from a man who was concerned about his girlfriend’s <a href="http://jezebel.com/dr-drew-insults-women-with-endometriosis-ignites-mass-1568906681" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: red; font-size: 16px; list-style: none; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">“multitude of conditions,”</a> including endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, lactose intolerance and what he described as “no stomach lining.” The good doctor quickly interjected before the listener could even pose his question, explaining, “These are what we call sort of functional disorders. Everything you mentioned, everything you mentioned, are things that actually aren’t discernibly pathological. They’re what we call ‘garbage bag diagnoses,’ when you can’t think of anything else, you go, ‘Eh, it’s that.’ So, it then makes me question why is she so<b><span style="font-size: large;"> somatically</span></b> preoccupied that she’s visiting doctors all the time with pains and urinary symptoms and pelvic symptoms, and then that makes me wonder, was she sexually abused growing up?”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; font-size: 16px; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-top: 15px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Though the caller did acknowledge that his fiancée had in fact survived abuse, let’s take a step back here and observe that he never said the woman was “preoccupied” and “visiting doctors all the time” – on the contrary, he said she almost always “refuses” to go to doctors, even when she’s “in so much pain.” But Dr. Drew had a handy explanation, stating, “Trust me, she saw lots of doctors before you.” He then went on to explain why her early abuse was causing her problems now. “When people have unexplained pain, pelvic pain, it’s called somatoform dissociation,” he said, “and the only way her body, which was suffering during those early experiences, can tell its tale of woe is with pain. And she really needs to see a trauma specialist, not a urologist. Know what I’m saying?” This was immediately segued with Pinksy’s colleague joking that an additional way someone could have unexplained pelvic pain was by having sex with the show’s guest, Alan Thicke. Charming.</div>

Dr Drews comments on endometriosis are outrageous. He is not educated in a disease that strikes more than one in ten women! Find another doctor! Chronic stage 4 endo with severe adhesions has almost killed me twice. It is real, incurable and I hope you devote air some time in spreading awareness about endometriosis to counteract the sad stereotype that has made the burden of this horrible disease even harder. </div>

“A small subset of women with endometriosis go on to develop ovarian cancer, but doctors have no clinical way to predict which women,” said <a href="http://www.mwrif.org/directory/view/39" rel="nofollow" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153) !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Anda Vlad, MD, PhD</a>, assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive sciences at MWRI. “If further studies show that the genetic pathway we uncovered is indicative of future cancer development, then doctors will know to more closely monitor certain women and perhaps take active preventative measures, such as immune therapy.”</div>

Endometriosis is a painful condition that is often misdiagnosed for years before some form of correct treatment is attempted. As redOrbit reported in February, it is called a <a href="http://www.redorbit.com/news/health/1113065210/endometriosis-immune-system-signaling-molecules-linda-griffith-020614/" style="color: rgb(0, 51, 153) !important; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">disease of theories</a>, because so little is known about how it works, or who it will strike.</div>

“We know there is a genetic component, we know there is an environmental component, and we know there is an inflammatory component. But it’s very difficult to say for individual patients what particular sequence of events led to particular symptoms,” Michael Beste, a postdoc in MIT’s Department of Biological Engineering, said.</div>

It is the genetic component, and its association to cancer, that Vlad and her team are focused on finding.</div>

Vlad and her team screened tissue samples from women with benign endometriosis, women with precancerous lesions and women with endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer. This allowed the researchers to identify the complement pathway, which refers to a series of protein interactions that trigger an amplified immune response, as the most prominent immune pathway that is activated in both endometriosis and endometriosis-associated ovarian cancer.</div>

“If, as our study indicates, a problem with the immune system facilitates cancer growth through chronic activation of the complement pathway, then perhaps we can find ways to change that and more effectively prime immune cells to fight early cancer, while controlling the complement pathway,” said Swati Maruti Suryawanshi, PhD, a post-doctoral research fellow at MWRI.</div>

Abstract Objective: To evaluate the safety and effects on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of radical excision of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) in the <span class="highlight">cul-de-sac</span>. Patients and Methods: This study included 390 patients with pathologically proven DIE in the <span class="highlight">cul-de-sac</span>who underwent laparoscopic surgery between January 2000 and December 2011. The preoperative and postoperative visual analog scale (VAS) pain scores and HRQOL data from the 36-item Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire were recorded in 343 patients. Surgical outcomes, complications, and HRQOL were compared between patients who underwent hysterectomy and those who did not. Data were analyzed using the paired t test, Student's t test, and Pearson's correlation analysis. Results: In the group overall, the VAS pain score and all SF-36 scales improved after surgery. In patients who underwent hysterectomy, all SF-36 scales improved except physical functioning, role-physical, general health, and vitality. In patients who did not undergo hysterectomy, all SF-36 scales improved except general health. There were significant associations between gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist therapy and SF-36 mental health, SF-36 mental component summary, and oral medication use. The VAS pain score and SF-36 body pain score showed the greatest improvement, and the SF-36 general health score showed the least improvement. Patients who underwent hysterectomy had more severe disease and poorer surgical outcomes than those who did not undergo hysterectomy. Conclusions: Laparoscopic radical excision of DIE in the <span class="highlight">cul-de-sac</span> is safe and significantly improves HRQOL, especially in terms of pain. The severity of endometriosis may affect the degree of improvement in HRQOL scores.</div>

"Though 10 to 15 percent of young women suffer from endometriosis and almost two-thirds of these women suffer from chronic pain, the exact nature of this disease is not very well understood. My laboratory has a long-standing interest in understanding why some women get endometriosis and have pain," said Santanam. "We are very honored that our abstracts were chosen for presentation at this meeting. The most exciting part was to find out that Kristeena was selected to give an oral presentation and was one of only six investigators selected to receive the Rodolphe Maheux Travel Grant."</div>

Abstract</h3>
<div class="">
<h4 style="float: left; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0.25em 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
Apart from the well known effects of vitamin D on maintaining calcium homeostasis and promoting bone mineralization, there is some evidence suggesting that vitamin D also modulates human reproductive processes. We will review the most interesting and relevant studies on vitamin D and female fertility published over the past year.</div>
<h4 style="float: left; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0.25em 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
RECENT FINDINGS:</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
In the past year, several observational studies reported a better in-vitro fertilization outcome in women with sufficient vitamin D levels (≥30 ng/ml), which was mainly attributed to vitamin D effects on the endometrium. One randomized controlled trial found an increased endometrial thickness in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) receiving vitamin D during intrauterine insemination cycles. Further, vitamin D supplementation had a beneficial effect on serum lipids in PCOS women. Vitamin D treatment improved <span class="highlight">endometriosis</span> in a rat model and increased vitamin D intake was related to a decreased risk of incident <span class="highlight">endometriosis</span>. Vitamin D was also favorably associated with primary dysmenorrhea, uterine leiomyoma, and ovarian reserve in late reproductive aged women.</div>
<h4 style="float: left; font-size: 1em; margin: 0px 0.25em 0px 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
SUMMARY:</h4>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0.5em;">
In women undergoing in-vitro fertilization, a sufficient vitamin D level (≥30 ng/ml) should be obtained. Vitamin D supplementation might improve metabolic parameters in women with PCOS. A high vitamin D intake might be protective against <span class="highlight">endometriosis</span>.</div>

For four years, MIT bioengineer Linda Griffith has been slowly unraveling <a href="http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2009/12/04/scientist_takes_aim_at_her_longtime_silent_scourge/" style="border: 0px; color: #2851a2; cursor: pointer; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">the biology of endometriosis</a>, a complicated and poorly understood disease that she has silently struggled with her entire life. The condition—in which tissue normally found in the uterus grows elsewhere in the body—is remarkably common. It causes severe pain and infertility and affects up to 10 percent of women, yet relatively little is known about what causes it, how to prevent it, or even how to effectively treat it.</div>

font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">Mantel has written about the severe endometriosis that doctors failed to diagnose in her youth; how it caused the loss of her fertility and the doubling of her body weight in less than a year.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; outline: none;">
Now she says the condition defined her as a writer, indeed made her one. “You really live on the verge of panic because you don’t know what’s going on inside you. And when the pain isn’t there, you know it’s waiting for you. It’s why I became a writer in the first place. I don’t like to let people down and I couldn’t have gone into an office every day.</div>

“Sometimes I’ve travelled [to author events] and gone on stage when any sensible person would have stayed at home. I have sat in car parks thinking, ‘Do I go in and do the talk or do I go to A&E?’"</div>

Some women with <a href="http://www.news-medical.net/health/Endometriosis-What-is-Endometriosis.aspx" style="color: #3097c1; text-decoration: none;">endometriosis</a>, a chronic inflammatory disease, are predisposed to<a href="http://www.news-medical.net/health/Ovarian-Cancer.aspx" style="color: #3097c1; text-decoration: none;">ovarian cancer</a>, and a genetic screening might someday help reveal which women are most at risk, according to a University of Pittsburgh <a href="http://www.news-medical.net/health/What-is-Cancer.aspx" style="color: #3097c1; text-decoration: none;">Cancer</a> Institute (UPCI) study, in partnership with Magee-Womens Research Institute (MWRI).</div>

Monday at the American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) Annual Meeting 2014, UPCI and MWRI researchers will present the preliminary results of the first comprehensive immune <a href="http://www.news-medical.net/health/Genes-What-are-Genes.aspx" style="color: #3097c1; text-decoration: none;">gene</a> profile exploring endometriosis and cancer.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #616161; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px;">
"A small subset of women with endometriosis go on to develop ovarian cancer, but doctors have no clinical way to predict which women," said senior author Anda Vlad, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of <a href="http://www.news-medical.net/health/What-is-Obstetrics.aspx" style="color: #3097c1; text-decoration: none;">obstetrics</a>, gynecology and reproductive sciences at MWRI. "If further studies show that the genetic pathway we uncovered is indicative of future cancer development, then doctors will know to more closely monitor certain women and perhaps take active preventative measures, such as immune therapy."</div>
