develop a significant enthalpic relaxation peak which occurs in the vicinity of the glass transition event. The development of the enthalpic relaxation peak is due to the non- equilibrium nature of the glass transition event and is a consequence of the second and third laws of thermodynamics relating to the entropy of the material.
Conclusions: Endometrial biopsy, with detection of nerve fibres, provided a reliability of diagnosis of endometriosis which is close to the accuracy of laparoscopic assessment by experienced gynaecological laparoscopists.
Today there is no simple test that can be used to diagnose endometriosis, which may be why there is a diagnostic delay of up to 12 years in some healthcare settings. At present the only reliable way to definitively diagnose endometriosis is by performing a laparoscopy and to take a biopsy of the tissue.
