Filter by:An proof-of-concept study to determine whether administration of testosterone enanthate weekly results in greater improvements in structural and functional characteristics of pelvic floor muscles and urodynamic parameters in postmenopausal women with urinary incontinence than that associated with placebo administration
The purpose of this study is to evaluate if folic acid improves endothelial sensitivity to shear stress in post-menopausal women.
SEGOVA procedure includes - Stem cell therapy, G - Growth factor Platelet Plasma Rich therapy and in Vitro Activation of the ovaries.
This Phase II study is designed to evaluate the potential effects of a novel probiotic supplement on the severity of global menopause symptoms (e.g., psychological, somatic, urogenital symptoms) and on bone health in postmenopausal women.
In postmenopausal women, cardiovascular risk is increased and the mechanisms involving imbalance of the Autonomic Nervous System should be extensively investigated. Recent data suggest a link with intestinal microbiota dysbiosis and probiotic supplementation could be a useful strategy for treating women with increased cardiovascular risk.
The purpose of this investigation is to test the hypothesis that in humans, eating a relatively big amount of chocolate at the wrong time (bedtime) may disrupt our circadian system (change the circadian phase), while taking this same amount of chocolate in the morning (wake up condition) may synchronize it. Other related factors may be also affected such as total body weight and body fat, dietary habits (total energy intake and macronutrient distribution), the timing of food intake and of sleep, daily rhythms of TAP, microflora composition and postprandial glycemia.
This study will compare different exercise training protocols on health parameters of postmenopausal women. The hypothesis is that short duration high intensity interval training will promote different effects of long duration moderate intensity training.
Menopause is a woman's hormonal status one year after her ovulatory failure, when the decrease of circulating estrogen levels leads to a group of symptoms named Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM), such as: vaginal dryness, dyspareunia, dysuria, epithelial fragility with recurrent bleedings, loss of genital elasticity and pH alterations causing recurrent infections. The CO2 laser is a fractional ablative source of light, capable of inducing neocollagenesis within the skin, reversing atrophies, increasing blood supply and reorganizing the architectural structure of the treated epithelium. Recent studies in the laser field show great improvement of the SGM, with satisfying results in female's sexual disfunction. Nevertheless, there is still a lack of studies that show, at the same time, the improvement in both patient's subjective reports and objective measurements, such as cytology, histology and immunohistochemistry. This study aims to thoroughly analyze the benefits of the CO2 laser in the treatment of the GMS, comparing the improvement found in questionnaires to the results of cytology, histology and immunohistochemistry for collagen I and III from vaginal biopsies before and after the laser treatment. Therefore, fourteen women after menopause complaining of symptoms of the GSM were selected from the ambulatory of the Hospital Universitário Antônio Pedro. The patients will be submitted to three CO2 intravaginal laser (Femilift®), with a 30-days interval between them. Biopsies of the vaginal wall will be taken one month before the start and one month after the end of the laser sessions, and material will be sent to histology, cytology and immunohistochemistry analysis. Results obtained will be compared to the patients' reports, in order to evaluate subjective and objective improvement due to the treatment.
The purposes of this study are to obtain preliminary evidence on the efficacy of a cooling mattress pad in reducing subjective hot flashes for peri and postmenopausal women experiencing menopausal hot flashes, and to obtain preliminary evidence on the efficacy of a cooling mattress pad for improving sleep for peri and postmenopausal women experiencing menopausal hot flashes.
The aim was to assess the effect of estrogen-progestin therapy (EPT) on serum levels of uric acid (SUA) and its precursors: xanthine (X) and hypoxanthine (HX) and on uric acid (UA) renal excretion in hypertensive postmenopausal women treated with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) or thiazide diuretic (HCTZ).
