Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare endometrial stripe thickness in adolescent and young adult (AYA) patients with a uterus on estrogen replacement therapy using oral progesterone versus the etonogstrel implant for endometrial protection. The main questions it aims to answer are: Aim 1: Characterize the mean endometrial thickness in AYA on estrogen hormone replacement therapy before initiation of progesterone therapy Aim 2: Characterize the mean changes and variability in endometrial thickness in AYA treated for 6 months with either the etonogestrel implant or continuous oral progesterone Aim 3: Assess satisfaction, side effects, bleeding patterns, any progesterone modifications, and adherence in AYA treated for 6 months with either etonogestrel implant or continuous progesterone Participants will be asked to: - Get two pelvic ultrasounds - Fill out two surveys - Continue their current hormone replacement therapy - Initiate one of two progesterone therapies (prometrium 100mg daily or Nexplanon) Researchers will compare the change in endometrial thickness after 6 months of progesterone use to see if there is a significant difference in the mean change between the prometrium and Nexplanon groups.
Explore the bone metabolism characteristics of premature ovarian insufficiency.
The goal of this clinical trial is to test the efficacy of a nurse-led psychoeducational sexual health intervention for young women breast cancer survivors. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. What is the feasibility of this intervention in an online, private setting? 2. What is the effect of this intervention on reducing menopausal symptoms, improving sexual functioning, and enhancing body image? Participants will participate in a nurse-led psychoeducational intervention for 8 sessions lasting approximately an hour each over the course of 8 - 10 weeks. Each participant will complete survey items at the beginning, end, and six-weeks after the last session. Participants will be compensated up to $150 in gift cards as a thank-you for their time.
investigator is doing single armed clinical interventional study to treat premature ovarian insufficiency with autologous bone marrow derived mononuclear cells to be given systematically and locally to the ovaries under ultrasound guidance with experienced gynecologist and to look for the results including: laboratory evidence through hormonal study ultrasound proof of ovarian follicle development. premature ovarian insufficiency is characterized by early loss of ovarian function (less than 40 years of age) manifested by menstrual irregularity or amenorrhea with elevated levels of gonadotropin hormones and low estrogen and anti-Mullerian hormone. Autologous use of stem cells from bone marrow are alternative safe minimal manipulative products that can provide a solution to this clinical problem without the need for oocyte donation program.
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) affects 2,8 to 3,5% of women before the age of 40. Previous foreign studies revealed that only half of POI disclosures occurred during a medical consultation and that the diagnosis was often discussed in less than 5 minutes. As a result, most of patients felt a lack of information, and consequently sought data on the internet. None of these studies were conducted in France. The aim of this study is to analyze current practices related to POI diagnosis and to assess women's satisfaction
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a clinical syndrome defined by loss of ovarian activity before the age of 40 years. POF is characterized by menstrual disturbance (amenorrhea or oligomenorrhea) with raised gonadotrophins and low estradiol. The prevalence of POF is 1-2%. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane-packed vesicles that are secreted by a variety of cell types, including T cells, B cells, dendritic cells, platelets, mast cells, epithelial cells, endothelial cells, neuronal cells, cancerous cells, oligodendrocytes, Schwann cells, embryonic cells, and mesenchymal stromal cells-derived (MSCs). MSCs-EV more stable and induce stronger signaling and are produced in higher concentrations than stem cells. They demonstrate no inherent toxicity, are not associated with any long-term maldifferentiation of engrafted cells or tumor generation, and carry no apparent risk of aneuploidy or immune rejection following in vivo allogenic administration.Several studies have evaluated the safety and possible efficacy of injection MSCs-EV for the treatment of premature ovarian failure in animal models. Based on the available evidence, the study was designed with the aim of investigating the safety and effectiveness of intraovarian injection of MSCs-EV in patients with POF diagnosis.
Enrolling of 150 female patients of fertile age diagnosed with PCOS, insulin resistance, infertility, or mitochondrial disease, and the same number of age- and sex-matched controls are planned. During the research biomarkers already with mitochondrial dysfunction in the scientific literature and common mtDNA abnormalities (deletions, point mutations, copy number changes, etc.) are examined.
Acupuncture has been widely used in the treatment of Premature Ovarian Insufficiency(POI), but the selection of acupoints is indeterminate and lacks biological basis.In recent years,some studies suggested the "acupoint sensitization",that is,changes such as pain sensitivity and heat sensitivity appear on the acupoints under disease state.The biological characteristics of acupoints can reflect the state of local tissue and might be a potential factor for guiding acupoint selection. This study aims to compare the temperature and pain threshold of acupoints between POI patients and the healthy population.At the meantime,clinical diagnosis of POI is based on clinical symptoms and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH).However,FSH fluctuates so much that prediction accuracy is not high and clinical application is limited.Therefore, given the lack of proper diagnostic accuracy in POI and the concept of "acupoint sensitization",it is necessary to summarize the changes of biological characteristics of related acupoints under physiological and pathological conditions as an auxiliary means to improve the diagnostic rate of POI.
The primary ovarian insufficiency (premature ovarian failure, premature ovarian insufficiency, premature menopause) is a hypergonadotropic hypogonadism, that failure of the ovarian function in woman younger than 40 years. Fat derived stem cells are mainly mesenchymal stem cells and found to be effective treatment in joint and bone regeneration. We are planning to investigate the effectiveness of adipose stem cell on ovarian tissue regeneration for patients with premature ovarian failure.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the brain MRI imaging changes and associated factors on cognition function in patients with premature ovarian failure.
