Efficacy of an orally administered combination of hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulfate, curcumin and quercetin for the prevention of recurrent urinary tract infections in postmenopausal women.

OBJECTIVE: To assess whether the orally administered combination of hyaluronic acid (HA), chondroitin sulfate (CS), curcumin and quercetin could be effective in preventing recurrent cystitis in postmenopausal women and whether its efficacy was conditioned by the concurrent use of local estrogen therapy. STUDY DESIGN: This was a prospective evaluation of 145 postmenopausal women consecutively recruited from the database of three different investigators. All women should have mild-to-moderate urogenital atrophy and a history of recurrent urinary tract infections (≥2 episodes within 6 months or

SURUSS in perspective.

BACKGROUND: Until the publication of the Serum Urine and Ultrasound Screening Study (SURUSS) report, it was difficult to compare the differe … plasma protein-A [PAPP-A] at 11 completed weeks of pregnancy, and alpha-fetoprotein, unconjugated oestriol [uE3], free beta or total human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG) and inhibin-A in the early second trimester) was 0.9%, the Serum integrated test (without nuchal translucency) 2.7%, the Combined test (nuchal translucency with free beta-hCG and PAPP-A a …

The effects of oral and transdermal hormone replacement therapy on C-reactive protein levels and other inflammatory markers in women with high risk of thrombosis.

INTRODUCTION: In the estrogen in venous thromboembolism (EVTET) study of 140 women with a history of venous thromboembolism (VTE), oral hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was associated with strong activation of coagulation markers and increased risk of recurrent VTE. No such associations were observed in the estrogen women atherosclerosis (EWA) study of 118 women with established coronary artery disease who were given transdermal HRT. OBJECTIVES AND METHODS: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of oral and transdermal HRT on levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), which was as

An economic appraisal of alternative pre-natal screening programmes for Down's syndrome.

The objective of this study was to evaluate economically a screening programme within the Oxford Regional Health Authority for Down's syndrome, based on maternal serum alpha fetoprotein, unconjugated oestriol and human chorionic gonadotrophin as well as maternal age (the triple test) against maternal age alone. The design of the study involved cost-effectiveness analysis of the triple test relative to the maternal age screening programme, and the main outcome measure was the cost per Down's birth avoided. It was found that the triple test is more cost-effective over a wide range of assumptions…

Predictive value of hormone determinations in the first half of pregnancy.

In a prospective randomized study serial hormone determinations (beta-hCG, HPL, P, 17-OHP, E2 and E3) were performed with 1125 pregnant women from the detection of pregnancy until delivery (n = 994) or abortion (n = 131). In 605 women carrying to term blood sampling started before the 16th wk of gestation, while 389 patients were admitted to hospital between the 16th and 20th wk of gestation. The first value of most of the hormone determinations at the time of diagnosis of pregnancy before the 16th wk was normal in more than 90% (beta-hCG 95%, P 94%, E3 94%, E2 92%, HPL 64%). In the case of wo

Гендерное неравенство в когнитивных расстройствах между неврологическими аутоиммунными расстройствами: систематический обзор.

ВВЕДЕНИЕ: Неврологические аутоиммунные расстройства (НКД) часто переплетаются с когнитивными расстройствами (КИ), что представляет собой многоуровневую проблему как с клиническим пониманием, так и с терапевтическим управлением. Усугубленное бремя NAD и CI не только оказывает значительное влияние на качество жизни пациента (QoL), прогнозы состояния и результаты лечения, но и оказывает несоразмерное воздействие на женщин, которые по своей сути более подвержены автоматическому иммунитету. Этот обзор направлен на изучение гендерных когнитивных недостатков, их основополагающих механизмов и их клини

… This Phase 2 trial, titled “A Combination Trial of Copaxone plus Estriol in RRMS,” investigated estriol-mediated neuroprotection in 111 female RRMS patients aged 18–50, with 62 receiving estriol treatment and 49 on placebo. … Notably, the estriol group experienced markedly less whole GM atrophy (0.5% vs. 1.5% annualized loss), though no significant effects of estriol on motor outcomes were observed. …

A retrospective evaluation of maternal serum screening for the detection of fetal aneuploidy.

A retrospective evaluation of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), and unconjugated oestriol (uE3) levels in maternal blood in the second trimester was conducted for cases of aneuploid pregnancies identified from a series of women who underwent amniocentesis. Blood samples were collected from 1078 women just before genetic amniocentesis was performed, mainly for individuals of advanced maternal age (greater than 35 years). Twenty-five maternal serum samples from pregnant women with an aneuploid fetus, including 14 with Down's syndrome, were available for analysis of all…

False-positive quadruple screen test for trisomy 18 in a patient with a fetus with Bloom's syndrome.

In the literature, conflicting reports on the significance of false-positive maternal serum multiple marker testing for trisomy 18 are encountered; however, the biology of this finding is discussed infrequently. We present such a case in association with Bloom's syndrome in the fetus. The fetus had intrauterine growth restriction, seen early in the second trimester, oligohydramnios, and was delivered at 34 weeks of gestation for impending fetal compromise. We propose that the adverse outcome of the pregnancy with false-positive serum analyte testing for trisomy 18 might result from a small-siz

Эстрадиол содействует ремонту Myelin в Spinal Cord of Women Mice в CXCR4 Chemokine Receptor-Nependent.

В центральной нервной системе для взрослых (ЦНС) регенерация миелина происходит главным образом за счет дифференциации клеток олигодендроцитов потомства на зрелые олигодендроциты. У мужчин снижение уровня тестостерона ускоряет развитие множественных склерозов (МС), в то время как у женщин менопауза усугубляет инвалидность, связанную с НР. Ранее мы продемонстрировали, что функциональные яички и тестостерон необходимы для спонтанной ремимиилации фокус-лизолицитина (LPC), вызванной демиелином повреждения позвоночника мужских мышей. Ремонт миелина на основе тестостерона зависел от введения хемокин

… For the treatment of women with multiple sclerosis, a recent Phase 2 trial has provided evidence for beneficial effects of the pregnancy estrogen estriol in combination with an immunomodulator [ 66 , 67 ]. … Benefits of estriol are based on its preference for ERβ, which is involved in neuroprotection and remyelination, whereas ERα also mediates peripheral actions of estrogens [ 68 , 69 ]. Notably, estriol offers an array of health benefits for postmenopausal women [ 70 ]. 4. …

Introduction of a nomogram for predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes based on maternal serum markers in the quad screen test.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to develop a nomogram that can calculate a total score, derived from each serum marker in the quad screen test, for systematically predicting adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs). METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed 3684 singleton pregnant women who underwent a quad screen test and gave birth at a single medical centre from January 2005 to December 2010. The serum marker data from the quad screen test and pregnancy outcomes were used to construct logistic regression models for predicting the risks of APOs. APO was defined as the presence of at least one of the

Estrogen and comprehension of metaphoric speech in women suffering from schizophrenia: results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

OBJECTIVE: The effects of estrogen on comprehension of metaphoric speech, word fluency, and verbal ability were investigated in women suffering from schizophrenia. The issue of estrogen-dependent neuropsychological performance could be highly relevant because women with schizophrenia frequently suffer from hypoestrogenism. METHOD: A placebo-controlled, double-blind, crossover study using 17beta-estradiol for replacement therapy and as an adjunct to a naturalistic maintenance antipsychotic treatment was carried out over a period of 8 months. Nineteen women (mean age = 38.0 years, SD = 9.9 year
