Statistical survey and some biological and social correlations. | In this study, 6877 women were analysed whose ages ranged between 38 and 58 (born between 1909 and 1929) and who had had no artificial menopause. This is 88.04% of the total female population in this actual period of life, living in Martin District in 1967. The mean age at the menopause was found, by status quo method,... |
69066 | Relation between smoking and age of natural menopause. Report from the Boston Collaborative Drug Surveillance Program, Boston University Medical Center. | The relation of cigarette smoking to natural menopause has been evaluated in two independent sets of data. In both, at each age from 44 to 53 years, more current smokers were post-menopausal compared to "never" smokers. In the first set of data the age-standardised proportions of women who were postmenopausal were 35, ... |
74218 | [Histochemical investigations of the biomorphosis of the tube epithelium in the postmenopause and in the senium (author's transl)]. | Probes of tube of 21 women in the age of 50-83 years old were investigated with histochemical techniques for detection of mucosubstances. It was found that the regressive changes in the tube epithelium run down by degrees. In the high age there is still evidenced some PAS-reactivity and alcianophilia. |
74610 | Smoking and industrial pollution, and their effects on menopause and ovarian cancer. | The rodent ovary contains an enzyme system(s) capable of metabolising poly-cyclic aromatic hydrocarbons to reactive electrophilic intermediates known to cause cytotoxicity, mutation, and cancer. If the human ovary contains similar enzyme systems, metabolic activation of environmental chemicals could explain the earlier... |
75706 | Management of the Menopause. | Menopause is merely a clinically discernible clue symbolic of the multitude of changes preceding or following the cessation of menses by many years. Because of the time span involved, separating changes observed in the menopausal transition from other age-related maturational events presents serious methodologic proble... |
140032 | Coagulation, oestrogen and the menopause. | The objective of oestrogen replacement therapy in the menopause is the prevention of pathology attributable to oestrogen lack. Care should be taken to ensure that such therapy is free from harmful side effects. To date, there have been no long-term longitudinal studies or clinical reports that have positively identifie... |
184538 | [Calcium metabolism after the menopause]. | The authors recall the antagonism between estradiol and parathormone. Estradiol tends to lower serum calcium and fix calcium in the bones as shown by one of us 25 years ago. The mechanism of this action of estrogen on calcium metabolism has been determined by numerous authors but some points are still not clear, e.g. t... |
190701 | [Treatment of the menopause]. | The immediate complications of the menopause should be treated. These symptoms must be due to the menopause and the treatment should be without side effects. The object is above all to obtain a sense of well-being. More important than the immediate signs are the later trophic disorders, whether local or general. Thus a... |
197509 | Estrogens for the menopause. Maximizing benefits, minimizing risks. | There is a definite place for estrogen replacement in symptomatic menopausal women. Requisites of such therapy are a through history to establish a real need, a complete gynecologic examination with a Pap smear before therapy begins and annually afterward, use of the smallest daily dose of estrogen that gives the desir... |
219937 | Relation between plasma hormone profiles, symptoms, and response to oestrogen treatment in women approaching the menopause. | Out of a consecutive series of 300 patients seen at a menopause clinic, 82 complained of symptoms generally associated with the climacteric, although they were still menstruating. Vasomotor disturbances were absent in 42 of these patients (group 1) and present in 40 (group 2). Headaches, insomnia, and dyspareunia were ... |
224354 | Premature menopause: a reversible entity? | Secondary hypergonadotropic, hypoestrogenic amenorrhea, or premature menopause, is usually considered an irreversible process. Four patients with this entity were observed to have evidence of ovulation. Three of these patients became pregnant while they were treated with estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) for their hyp... |
228157 | Plasma concentrations of unconjugated and conjugated estrogens and gonadotrophins following application of various estrogen preparations after oophorectomy and in the menopause. | In 55 patients after oophorectomy and 20 women after natural menopause an oral estrogen replacement therapy was performed with estrone-sulfate, estradiol 17-valerate, estriol-succinate, a combination of micronized estradiol and estriol (Estrifam, Trisequens), and natural conjugated estrogens. In 4 patients a 3 mg estra... |
233111 | Changes in psychological well-being during postmenopause as a result of estrogen therapy. | A study of the effects of a conjugated estrogen (Femipren) upon various climacteric symptoms, depression and anxiety scores and psycho-social factors in 120 women around the menopause, was carried out in a Menopause Clinic. In order to participate in this study, the women had to meet very strict criteria. A climacteric... |
258817 | Psychological aspects of menopause. | There are no psychological symptoms specific to menopause, though minor psychological complaints such as irritability may increase in women aged 45 to 55. These symptoms seem to be related to psychosocial stress, social class, or cultural group rather than to hormone imbalance alone. Management requires careful assessm... |
264163 | Age at menarche and menopause of uterine cancer patients. | An investigation was undertaken of the ages at menarche and at menopause of cervical and endometrial cancer patients for the years 1950-55 and 1960-65. Analysis of the ages at menarche in relation to the year of birth did not show a difference between the uterine cancer groups, whereas the age at menopause did show suc... |
264752 | Vaginal cytology in the postmenopause. A study into some correlates. | A considerable number of women continue to have proliferative vaginal smears indicating a certain level of endogenous estrogen production. Some correlates of this were studied. No significant correlation was found with age since menopause or with overweight. No correlation was found between the proliferation of the vag... |
266332 | Cytologic evaluation of the effect of various estrogens given in postmenopause. | The cytologic evaluations of the hormonal (mainly estrogenic) treatment of 263 postmenopausal women are presented. Though estriol has a considerably weaker action than estradiol derivatives (and especially ethinyl estradiol) it has to be recommended for the oral treatment of local changes due to atrophy since this ster... |
269627 | The perception of menopause in five ethnic groups in Israel. | An investigation was made into the menopausal symptoms and attitudes of 1, 148 Israeli women of five different ethnic origins. The results show that, while some of the somatic menopausal symptoms are independent of ethnic origin, psychic and psychosomatic symptoms are more closely associated with this variable. Similar... |
283784 | Clinical features and plasma hormone levels after surgical menopause. | This study reports the plasma levels of follicle stimulating hormone, luteinising hormone, oestradiol and testosterone in 43 women who had undergone bilateral oöphorectomy. Age was the only variable of those investigated which appeared to influence a hormone level; testosterone levels were found to decrease with increa... |
299558 | Age at menopause in relation to reproductive history in Japanese, Caucasian, Chinese and Hawaiian women living in Hawaii. | A multiple regression analysis was undertaken to examine the relationship between age at menopause and selected biological and sociological variables in the reproductive history of Caucasian, Japanese, Chinese and part-Hawaiian post-menopausal women living in Hawaii. The analysis was conducted using the medical history... |
302162 | Plasma lipid changes in the female in aging and the menopause. Results from three population studies. | Postabsorbtive plasma lipid levels have been analyzed in studies of the female population in the Swedish city of Gothenburg. The population samples cover the ages 15, 23, 30, 38, 40, 45, 46, 50, 54, 60 and 70. In some groups data are available from both cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal studies. Cross-sectio... |
402812 | Menopause in rhesus monkeys: model for study of disorders in the human climacteric. | Hormonal and menstrual patterns were studied in rhesus monkeys 22 years of age or older. Sustained elevations of serum gonodotropins, low circulating levels of estradiol and progesterone, associated with oligomenorrhea or amneorrhea, were similar to changes reported for peri- and postmenopausal women. During the menopa... |
426019 | Premature menopause. I. Etiology. | The premature menopause syndrome has been regarded as one of the organ-specific autoimmune disorders because circulating antibodies to ovarian tissue have been demonstrated. Fifteen women with spontaneous cessation of menses after initial menarche before they were 35 years old were seen between 1975 and 1977. Increased... |
443240 | Relationship of relevant factors of atherosclerosis to menopause in Japanese women. | The relationship of menopause to associated factors of atherosclerosis was investigated during October 1973 to December 1976. The subjects were 1674 premenopausal and 428 postmenopausal women aged 35 to 54, who were living in Toda city, an urban area of Japan. Serum cholesterol and triglyceride were higher in postmenop... |
459543 | [Tuberculous endometritis in the post-menopause]. | During a period of 15 years, 71 cases of genital tuberculosis were diagnosed. Out of the two had postmenopausal tuberculous endometritis and were hospitalized for postmenopausal bleeding. The diagnosis was confirmed by the histological examination of the tissue obtained from the uterus. |
462847 | [Use of hormone loading tests for assessing the source of hyperestrogenism and the functional state of the ovaries in breast cancer patients in menopause]. | The source of hyperestrogenia was ascertained in 12 patients by dexametasone-infecundin test, and the ovarian hormonal activity in 5 patients by dexametasone-choriogonin test. The source of hyperestrogenia was found to be the adrenal glands in 50%, ovaries--in 30% and the adrenal together with ovaries--in 20%. Ovarian ... |
463997 | Identification of differing etiologies of clinically diagnosed premature menopause. | Investigations were performed in eight young women to determine if the findings of secondary amenorrhea and high follicle-stimulating hormone levels were due to primary ovarian follicular atresia or to other causes. Karyotypes were determined from both peripheral leukocytes and ovarian tissue; one woman had XXX/XX/XO m... |
469151 | The vaginal flora after natural or surgical menopause. | A study was made of the cervical and upper vaginal flora in menopausal women, in an attempt to determine whether such women are predisposed to infections when undergoing gynecologic operations. The series comprised 72 women (age range, 44-80 years) classified as follows: a) 35 with a natural menopause, b) 18 with a sur... |
469196 | [A histological and hormonal study of 399 women near the menopause or with confirmed menopause (author's transl)]. | This work is concerned with 399 women who were either near the menopause or had had the menopause and on whom 476 hormone levels and 169 examinations of the endometrium had been carried out. It is possible to put the women into three groups. 13 p. 100 showed a diphasic cycle, with more or less normal ovarian function. ... |
484721 | Midlife concerns of women: implications of the menopause. | Midlife has received recent attention but is still difficult to define. Women's developmental phases are most appropriately understood as different from men's, with a complex integration of biological context, family development and roles, and individual development. Menopause has been considered a determining event, a... |
502875 | Age at menopause and its relation to osteoporosis. | As one phase of a comprehensive population study of women, bone density was determined in the third lumbar vertebra by dual photon absorptiometric technique. The method involves the use of two radionuclides, which both emit gamma radiation but with different energies (241Am with 59.6 keV and 137Cs with 662 keV). Women ... |
502876 | Life stresses and depression in the menopause. | Research on the climacteric has largely concentrated on relationships between ovarian insufficiency, oestrogen deficiency, and climacteric symptoms. Little attention has been paid to those who have no symptoms. It is proposed, in addition to these relationships, that the life events of this period are significantly inv... |
517585 | Probability of menopause with increasing duration of amenorrhea in middle-aged women. | The empirical percent probability that natural menopause has occurred after first presentation of amenorrhea of various durations in women greater than or equal to 45 years of age has been calculated using data from a cohort of subjects who prospectively recorded menstrual flow and related gynecologic events. The proba... |
521730 | Hormone replacement therapy in the menopause: a suitable animal model. | Female CBA mice, aged 11 months, were treated cyclically with oral ethynyl oestradiol or oestrone sulphate for 3 months. The ovaries of all animals appeared to be atrophied. Target tissues throughout the genital tract showed a response to both oestrogens. Electron microscopy of both the endometrium and the urothelium d... |
526457 | Relation between the karyopyknotic index and plasma oestrogen concentrations after the menopause. | The karyopyknotic index correlated significantly (p less than 0.001) with the plasma oestradiol but not plasma oestrone concentration in 38 postmenopausal women. This ties with previous findings that postmenopausal women with superficial dyspareunia have a more severe degree of vaginal atrophy than asymptomatic women, ... |
533246 | Maternal age, dizygotic twinning rates and age at menopause. | The dizygotic (DZ) twinning rate declines after about maternal age 38 in Caucasian populations. Bulmer (1970) offered the explanation that waning ovarian function causes a decline in rates of double ovulation in originally twin-prone women. The present note suggests that some small part of the decline is caused by the ... |
551237 | Cytologic evaluation of hormonal dynamic in the postmenopause. | There is increasing evidence that the postmenopausal ovary retains some endocrine function and thus can contribute a certain extent to the persistence of the vaginal epithelium proliferation a long time after the cessation of menstruations. Vaginal cytology plays an important role in the assessment of the vaginal epith... |
579299 | [Hormonal pattern in premenopauseal cycles (author's transl)]. | By serial determinations of plasma LH, FSH, progesterone and estradiol-17beta as well as total gonadotropines, total estrogens and pregnanediol in 24 h urine samples it was possible to classify 19 cycles of premenopauseal women, aged 44-50 years, into two groups. The first group showed ovulatory cycles with partially s... |
583195 | The spontaneous urinary excretion of tryptophan metabolites "via kynurenine" in women with regards to the prepuberty, sexual maturity and menopause. | High values of anthranilic acid, 3-OH-kynurenine, xanthurenic acid and 3-OH-anthranilic acid are observed in the spontaneous urinary excretion of tryptophan metabolites in girls in the prepubertal age. The highest differences are between the 3-hydroxy metabolites especially the 3-hydroxykynurenine. On the other hand, t... |
610316 | Endocrine modifications in women with premature menopause. | The Authors have found 9 cases of premature menopause out of a total of 159 observations of gynecological disfunctional disorders for a 3 year period. The functional investigation has been carried out by radioimmunoassay for PRL, FSH, LH, 17beta-estradiol, progesterone and, in those cases in which it was possible, the ... |
626838 | Coronary heart disease in relation to age, sex, and the menopause. | Examination of the Registrar General's mortality data suggested that women do not lose protection from coronary heart disease (CHD) after the menopause. Apparently, at around the age of 50 men begin to lose a factor that had previously put them at increased risk of developing CHD compared with women. Male sex hormones ... |
633576 | Estriol in the management of the menopause. | Estriol was administered for a six-month period as estrogen replacement therapy to 52 symptomatic postmenopausal women. Assays of serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), estrone, and estradiol were performed before and during therapy. During this period of administration, vaginal cytology, c... |
677576 | Menopause and coronary heart disease. The Framingham Study. | A rise in coronary heart disease incidence after menopause and a dramatic increase in the severity of the presenting diseases are noted in a cohort of 2873 Framingham women who were followed up for 24 years. No premenopausal woman developed a myocardial infarction or died of coronary heart disease. Such events were com... |
686640 | Oestrogenic activity associated with ovarian cystadenomas after the menopause. | In a group of 59 patients over the age of 55 years with ovarian serous and mucinous cystadenomas, a total of 29 (49%) showed moderate or strong oestrogenic activity as determined by maturation index in vaginal cytologic smears, in contrast to nine (13%) of 70 control patients with other gynecological disorders than ova... |
696251 | Ultrastructure and variations of human cervical mucus during pregnancy and the menopause. | Ultrastructural aspect and variations of cervical mucus have been studied by scanning electron microscopy in 58 pregnant and 29 menopausal women. In both groups, a striking tightening of the ultrastructural glycoprotein framework was demonstrated. The phenomenon appears to occur very rapidly at the beginning of pregnan... |
723726 | The age of the menopause of Australian women. | The mean age of the menopause by probit analysis in a group of apparently healthy Australian women was 50.4 years. No relationship was found between this value and the age of the menarche or the number of children born or the age at the time of birth of the first child. The mean duration of the menstruating life was 26... |
726877 | Changes in bone mineral content in women with natural menopause during treatment with female sex hormones. | The bone mineral content was determined in eleven women with a natural menopause by X-ray spectrophotometry during treatment with a combinations of estrogens and a gestagen. During a three-year follow-up period the hormone treated women significantly increased (P less than 0.05) their mineral content by 3% a year on av... |
740579 | Effects of progestogens on serum lipids in the post-menopause. | Measurement of serum cholesterol, triglycerides, and phospholipids was undertaken in patients with a natural menopause or following oöphorectomy who received cyclical oestrogen regimens for six consecutive months. The regimen employed was either a 'high' or 'low' dose of equine conjugated oestrogens, piperazine oestron... |
740583 | Clinical considerations in the management of the menopause: the endometrium. | Exogenous oestrogens prescribed for the relief of menopausal symptoms are being given in pharmacological doses and the term 'hormone replacement therapy' is inappropriate. The frequent development of endometrial hyperplasia during unopposed cyclical oestrogen therapy is therefore to be expected, but no single pattern o... |
742255 | [Hemorrhage in menopause and its histological correlation]. | In an evaluation of 200 histological endometrial findings of female patients having postmenopausal haemorrhage malign changes were noticed in five per cent of the cases. This figure is much smaller than that which is usually mentioned in literature. However it corresponds in its proportion with the known clinical and a... |
755954 | A review of studies of the psychological symptoms found at the menopause. | The scientific literature was reviewed in order to determine whether psychological symptoms were directly associated with the menopause. Aetiology theories of symptoms include biological, psychological, sociological and multifactorial. There is evidence that psychological symptoms do occur in increased frequency in rel... |
755957 | A new way of looking at environmental variables that may affect the age at menopause. | Environmental variables that might affect the age at menopause were analysed by means of the segmentation method AID. Marital status, occupation, smoking habits, age at last pregnancy and height were shown to be significant discriminating variables. The material and design of the study and the method of analysis are gi... |
755958 | Is there a secular trend in age of menopause? | A review of the difficulties encountered in analyzing a secular trend in age of menopause is given with emphasis on the advantages and disadvantages of the recollective and "status quo" methods. It is suggested that no methodology except that which is prospective will give accurate ages of menopause. Accepting this giv... |
809684 | [The future of estrogen substitution in the menopause. Psychological and sociological aspects (author's transl)]. | The future of estrogen substitution (ES) in the menopause was examined in 425 patients in our clinic from the psychological and sociological aspects. Of the women questioned, one fourth would not consider estrogen substitution from the menopause onwards another fourth would only accept this for one year, one quarter fo... |
835634 | Menopause and myocardial infarction. | Age and circumstances of menopause (natural or artificial) are detailed in 104 cases of recent myocardial infarction (MI). The results of this study with statistical analysis show no correlation between the age at menopause and the age at onset of MI; so for this study, an early menopause, cannot be considered, whateve... |
850056 | Patterns of menopause: a study of certain medical and physiological variables among Caucasian and Japanese women living in Hawaii. | Comparisons were made between menopausal women and nonmenopausal controls among Caucasians and Japanese living in Honolulu, to investigate the extent of physical changes and clinical symptoms associated with menopause.

850624 | [Coronary insufficiency in the female: possible effect of menopause]. | A population of 239 women suffering from chronic coronary disease was divided into two groups according to whether or not they had sustained a myocardial infarction. For the 226 post-menopausal women, the type of menopause (natural or artificial) and their age at its onset were determined, together with the age of onse... |
855249 | [Determination of the metabolic clearance and production of estradiol in breast cancer patients at menopause]. | A method for the determination of estradiol metabolic clearance rate (MCR) and production rate (PR) in blood, using radioactive isotope dilution techniques, has been described. In a group of 5 normal menopausal females and 10 menopausal patients with disseminated cancer of the breast the values of MCR and PR were not f... |
878981 | Estrogen and the menopause. | Currently popular dosage schedules of estrogens are not physiologic. Daily large peak fluctuations of circulating estrogen may induce unfamiliar patterns of target cell stimulation which may ultimately be expressed in abnormal cellular activity. For women who require estrogen to control menopausal symptoms, ethinyl est... |
884425 | Psychiatric morbidity and the menopause: survey of a gynaecological out-patient clinic. | Two hundred and seventeen women between the ages of 40 and 55 years referred to a gynaecological out-patient clinic were screened for psychiatric illness by means of the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ) and a brief special questionnaire.

A cross-sectional study of serum follice-stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, prolactin, estradiol, and progesterone levels. | Serum follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), prolactin, estradiol, and progesterone concentrations were measured in 58 ovulating women in different age groups (20 to 29, 34 to 39, 40 to 44, and 45 to 50 years) at five- to seven-day intervals through a single menstrual cycle and in 18 postmenopaus... |
952138 | [Influence of ethinyl estradiol sulfonate on the decreased urinary bladder tonus in the menopause]. | In 40 women with hypotonic urinary bladder the influence of 17alpha-Athinyl-3-isopropyl-sulfonyloxy-Ostradiol (Athinylöstradiol) (3 X 15 mug/die without weekend) was examined concerning the intravesical pressure; The cystotonometry has been done just before as well in intervalls of 2 months during half year's period of... |
961757 | Vasomotor symptoms, serum estrogens, and gonadotropin levels in surgical menopause. | Hormonal parameters of young women who developed vasomotor symptoms in the immediate postoperative period following castration are compared to those who remained asymptomatic. Only 37.5 per cent of 16 premenopausal women developed "hot flushes" after operation. Perimenopausal women with vasomotor symptoms and elevated ... |
970770 | Menopause and risk of cardiovascular disease: the Framingham study. | The relation of menopause to cardiovascular disease incidence was examined in women less than 55 years old from the cohort of 2873 women in the initial Framingham examination. Although the number of person-years of experience during the 20 years of observation was nearly the same for premenopausal and postmenopausal st... |
974609 | Hormonal profiles after the menopause. | The endocrinological changes of the climacteric have been defined by studying the concentrations of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinising hormone (LH), androstenedione, testosterone, oestrone, and oestradiol in 60 normal postmenopausal women of different menopausal ages. The women were studied in six groups, ... |
986962 | [Further studies on serum calcium and inorganic phosphorus in postmenopause (author's transl)]. | The author previously reported that the serum calcium (Ca) and inorganic phosphorus (P) levels were gradually decreased with advance in age in regularly menstruating women, but that they were rapidly increased soon after the menopause. In this experiment the changes of the serum Ca and P levels in postmenopausal women ... |
1049133 | Social factors in the psychology of menstruation, birth, and menopause. | Information about possible social influences on the psychology of reproduction, supplemented by a clinical understanding of the psychodynamics of the individual and scientific knowledge about the effects of hormones on behavior, provides insight into the experience of a particular woman in a particular social milieu. S... |
1080357 | The effect of menopause on serum cholesterol in American (Pima) Indian women. | Serum cholesterol levels in Pima Indian women were investigated to determine if menopause caused these levels to rise. The mean cholesterol values of 148 pre-menopausal women aged 34-54 when age-matched with 75 post-menopausal women were not significantly different. Sixty-five women passed through menopause while under... |
1094253 | [New sequential therapy in the premenopause (author's transl)]. | A report about the treatment of 85 women in the premenopause during 387 cycles is given. The treatment consisted in sequential therapy in form of conjugated Estrogens (Presomen) and a new synthetic Gestagen, which was given in three different modifications: from the fifth to the 24-th day of the cycle 1,25 mg Presomen ... |
1119901 | Human growth hormone response to levodopa. Relation to menopause, depression, and plasma dopa concentration. | After ingestion of 500 mg of levodopa, postmenopausal women had significantly diminished human growth hormone (HGH) responses (mean, 4.6 ng/ml), as compared with those of age-matched men (mean, 9.1 ng/ml; P smaller than .05). The differences between the groups were not related to plasma dopa concentrations. The HGH res... |
1124713 | Psychohormonal treatment during the menopause. | Today the physician who treats women with emotional problems during menopause cannot function solely as a psychotherapist; he must deal with both their soma and psyche. The interaction between the endocrine and emotional states has long been known. When the equilibrium of an essentially normal state--menopause--is dist... |
1125147 | The uterine cervix from adolescence to the menopause. | During adolescence the physiological transformation zone of the cervix in the virgin undergoes limited change when compared to that of girls who are sexually promiscuous; the latter often show large areas of metaplastic squamous epithelium and the development of an atypical transformation zone. During pregnancy, partic... |
1155445 | Twinning rates among women at the end of their reproductive span and their relation to age at menopause;. | A review of studies on twinning has shown that dizygotic (DZ) twinning rates among women from general populations characteristically peak at ages 35-39, then decline sharply. Analysis of genealogical data from the Archives of the Mormon Church indicates that women who are dizygous twins themselves or the sibs of dizygo... |
1156748 | Psychiatric morbidity and the menopause; screening of general population sample. | A survey of 539 women from the general population indicated a high prevalence of minor psychiatric illness in women aged 40-55 years. There was evidence of an increase in psychiatric morbidity occurring before the menopause and lasting until about one year after menstrual periods had ended. Vasomotor symptoms increased... |
1171028 | Mumps oophoritis: a cause of premature menopause. | One cause of secondary oligomenorrhea is ovarian infection. A rare type of infection related to the disturbance of menstrual function is mumps oophoritis. Three patients with premature menopause presumably caused by this agent were described. In one patient the symptoms coincided with a subclinical infection during the... |
1211708 | [Menopause: apropos of some psychological and psychiatric aspects]. | Menopause, begining of woman's involutional period, may (or must) be systematically treated by estrogens, preventing most of immediate or later menopausel complications and limitating effects of aging. This use of estrogens (which causes many controversies and resistances) has also probably a positive neuropsychic effe... |
1227215 | [Serum FSH and LH levels in women following surgical castration and during hormonal management of menopause symptoms]. | Using the radioimmunological method, FSH and LH levels were determined in women immediately after surgical castration and after an elapse of 18 months to two years. A twofold increase in FSH was found already two days after castration, while an increase in LH only after six days. Increased FSH and LH levels were observ... |
1230127 | [The influence of menopause on prognosis of breast cancer (author's transl)]. | Between 1949 and 1968, 1369 female patients received primary treatment for breast cancer in the Robert-Rössle-Clinic of the Central Institute for Cancer Research of the Academy of Sciences of the GDR. Using a sequential procedure based on decision theory, the influence of menopause on prognosis of breast cancer was inv... |
1234566 | Vaginal cytology after the menopause. | The methods by which oestrogen activity can be assessed cytologically are described. Hormone production does not cease with the onset of the menopause. In about 10% of post-menopausal women there is evidence of high oestrogenic activity until far into old age and in a further 40-45% moderate levels of oestrogens are ma... |
1236818 | [The effect of menopause on serum levels of calcium and inorganic phosphorus (author's transl)]. | Serum calcium, inorganic phosphorus and alkaline-phosphatase were determined in 3,191 women as a part of a multiphasic health testing program. A fasting sample of blood was drawn between 9 and 11 a.m. and the separated serum was applied to a Technicon Autoanalyzer SMA 12/60 and measured. In 527 women, who were found to... |
1255802 | Exogenous estrogens and breast cancer in women with natural menopause. | Age, age at menopause, and calendar year at menopause were controlled as factors related to estrogen use. Data on 90 breast cancer patients and 83 conrols--all of whom had a natural menopause--showed no relationship between breast cancer and estrogen usage after the start of menopause symptoms. |
1258858 | Some atherogenic concomitants of menopause: The Framingham Study. | Longitudinal assessment of the effect of change in menopausal status on seven biologic concomitants was made in 40- to 51-year-old women from the cohort of 1686 women premenopausal at the initial Framingham examination and subsequently followed for nine biennial examinations.

Clinically, no differences were found in the in... |
1291557 | Accelerated disappearance of ovarian follicles in mid-life: implications for forecasting menopause. | Menopause is triggered by the number of ovarian follicles falling below a threshold number and is irreversible because oogonial stem cells disappear after birth. Since it is the result of programmed disappearance of a limited store of follicles, menopause can be predicted using mathematical models based on total follic... |
1303916 | [Excretion of free catecholamines in urine and activity of some enzymes involved in catecholamine metabolism with arterial hypertension during menopause]. | This study was performed in 60 women aged between 47-55 years (mean age 50.46 +/- 1.7), divided into two groups: premenopausal and postmenopausal. Each group was subdivided according to arterial pressure: with normal pressure and arterial hypertension. Daily urinary excretion of catecholamines was determined according ... |
1305131 | [Levels of catecholamines and activity of the renin-aldosterone system in women with hypertension in the period before and after menopause]. | The examinations were carried out for 93 selected women divided into premenopausal group and the group in the early stage of postmenopausal period. Each of these groups was subdivided into two subgroups with normal blood pressure and arterial hypertension. The catecholamine level were determined fluorimetrically as per... |
1305625 | Pineal calcification in relation to menopause in schizophrenia. | I have suggested that critical changes in melatonin secretion, as mediated by the pineal gland, may exert a crucial role in the onset and pathogenesis of schizophrenia. Since pineal calcification (PC) is thought to reflect the metabolic and secretory activity of the gland, I investigated in 29 randomly selected chronic... |
1308538 | Symptomatology and hormonal levels among Thai women with natural menopause. | The hormonal levels and symptoms after natural menopause have been studied in 100 patients. The mean age was 56.8 years while menopausal age was 50.3 years. Postmenopausal symptoms presented 55.0 per cent with the three most common complaints of hot flushes, emotional lability and vaginal dryness, respectively. The lev... |
1333183 | Menopause related changes of adrenocortical steroid production. | To elucidate changes of adrenocortical steroid production with age, reproductive age (n = 14), peri-menopausal (n = 12) and post-menopausal (n = 13) women were studied using basal hormone levels and the results of a rapid ACTH stimulation test. Peripheral serum levels of pregnenolone, 17 alpha-hydroxypregnenolone, 17 a... |
1345259 | Menopause and hyperlipidemia: pravastatin lowers lipid levels without decreasing endogenous estrogens. | In study 1, serum lipid and estrogen levels were determined in 30 women (aged 40 to > 60 years). Total cholesterol (TC) levels increased significantly with age, but no significant association was found between TC levels and menopausal status. Hypercholesterolemia (TC > 220 mg/dl) was identified in 10 women and hypertri... |
1357959 | Menopause and serum cholesterol: differences between blacks and whites. The Minnesota Heart Survey. | The relation between menopause and serum total and high-density-lipoprotein cholesterol was examined by the Minnesota Heart Survey in a cross-sectional, population-based study of 344 black women and 474 white women aged 35-54 years from the Twin Cities metropolitan area in 1985-1986. Analysis of covariance was used to ... |
1380360 | Stereological analysis of the female breast alveolar ductulus epithelial cells in premenopause and postmenopause. | Stereological characteristics of the ductular parenchyma epithelial cells were analysed ultrastructurally in 18 cases of normal breast tissue. Different physiological states were compared in the premenopause and postmenopause. The volume density (VV), surface density (SV) and specific surface density (SV/VV) of nuclei ... |
1393775 | Risk for developing osteoporosis in untreated premature menopause. | The bone mineral density (BMD) of the lumbar spine and proximal femur was determined by dual photon absorptiometry in 32 women with untreated premature menopause (cessation of menses before 45 years of age). The BMD of the spine and proximal femur in four obese patients was not different from the BMD of the age-matched... |
1398514 | Bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with lymphoma: the effects of chemotherapy, intermittent corticosteroids and premature menopause. | Young women with a chemotherapy-induced early menopause are theoretically at considerable risk of developing post-menopausal osteoporosis with problems developing earlier and more severely. In this study bone mineral density (BMD) measurements were made, using a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometer (DXA), at the spine and ... |
1399867 | Attitudes of low-income clinic patients toward menopause. | The bulk of menopause research has been conducted on samples of middle-class White women. In this study, attitudes toward menopause in a sample of 66 low-income women at a women's clinic were studied using Bowles's (1986) Menopause Attitude Scale (MAS) and the attitude segment of Millette's (1981) survey of attitudes a... |
1410947 | General practitioners' attitudes to oestrogen prescription in the menopause: a national survey in Norway. | A questionnaire was mailed to a random sample of approximately 10% of Norwegian general practitioners (GPs) in order to investigate attitudes to the prescription of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in menopausal women. Nine short case histories were presented, and the GPs indicated their attitude to oestrogen prescrip... |
1424192 | Effect of menopause and hormone replacement therapy on urinary excretion of pyridinium cross-links: a longitudinal and cross-sectional study. | To study longitudinally the effect of the menopause and hormone replacement therapy on the new markers of bone resorption: urinary excretion of pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline. |
1429782 | Relations between fertility, body shape and menopause in Austrian women. | The influence of number and date of pregnancies, births, and spontaneous and induced abortions on body shape, age at menopause and menopausal symptoms have been studied for 110 postmenopausal Viennese women. A significant correlation between fertility and age at menopause was not found, but several menopausal symptoms ... |
