Filter by:The purpose of this study is to estimate the prevalence of Vasomotor Symptoms (VMS) and prevalence of moderate to severe VMS in peri-menopausal women and post-menopausal women aged 40-65 in East Asia (China, South Korea and Taiwan) and the proportion of the following subpopulations: Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)-eligible and willing to take HRT; HRT-eligible and HRT-averse (i.e. not willing to take HRT); HRT-ineligible due to contra-indications/high-risk; and HRT-stoppers. The study will also assess Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and VMS related productivity loss among perimenopausal and post-menopausal women with moderate-to-severe MR-VMS and the respondents' attitudes toward prescription treatments.
The aim of the study is to investigate effects of daily intake of Nordic Kudzu for 28 days in 5 groups of 10 menopausal women with symptoms. Groups:1) 3 capsules x3/day, 2) 3 capsules x2/day, 3) 2 capsules x3/day, 4) 2 capsules x2/day, 5) 3 capsules x1/day. Each capsule equal 1.26 g kudzu root extract. Outcome measures: Serum and urine levels of biochemical marker of bone-degradation, CTX-I, and symptoms of menopause using the Meopause Rating Scale (MRS).
Vasomotor symptoms (VMS), such as flushes, sweating, and sleep disturbances, are experienced by up to 80% of women during the menopausal transition. Night sweats, which are hot flushes that occur at night, can be particularly bothersome in women and contribute to disturbed sleep. These symptoms occur mainly during the 1-3 years prior to menopause (late perimenopause) and early menopause (~4 years after menstruation ceases). Many women look to supplements for the management of menopausal symptoms. Soy isoflavones and their metabolites are one category of dietary supplements that have been extensively studied for the management of VMS. The most active soy isoflavone is S-equol, which is not found directly in soy, but rather is the metabolite that is produced by gut microflora from consumption of the soy isoflavone daidzein. However, only 20-30% of US women are actually able to produce S-equol from the consumption of daidzein. Equelle® is a currently available dietary supplement that has S-equol as its active component, which allows the delivery of the active soy isoflavone metabolite directly without dependence on the gut microflora metabolism. The intention of this study is to assess the effect of a product containing S-equol on the management of VMS in normally healthy women. Condition or disease: Vasomotor Symptoms Intervention/treatment: Dietary Supplement: S-equol Dietary Supplement: Placebo
The investigators are using a community-based participatory research (CBPR) model to develop a lifestyle intervention targeting weight loss that is specifically tailored to women in perimenopause.
This study aims to assess the effect of low dose combined estradiol and norethindrone acetate hormone therapy on serum CRP levels and life quality in natural menopause women. 45 natural menopause women who admitted to Karadeniz Technical University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology for 1 year and diagnosed as menopause and planned to have hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms involved in this study. The serum CRP levels and vasomotor symptoms scores graded according to Blatt-Kupperman Index and life quality scores according to Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MENQOL) in Turkish were recorded before and after (3 months later) low dose hormone treatment (1 mg Estradiol and 0.5 mg Norethindrone acetate).
This study was designed to evaluate the beneficial effects and safety of a standardised botanical extract combination containing soy isoflavone extract, grains of paradise seed dry extract and pomegranate skin dry extract on health-related Quality of Life in healthy Spanish menopausal women with hot flashes, anxiety, and depressive symptoms using the self reported and validated Cervantes Scale.
Microgreens are an emerging horticultural food crop with potential to improve human health. Previous research suggests they have broad consumer acceptance and that the micronutrient and bioactive compound levels are higher than that of their mature counterparts. To date, no studies have explored the feasibility of microgreen consumption, gastrointestinal tolerance of microgreen consumption, or their potential health impacts in humans. Therefore, the overall goal of this study is to explore the feasibility and acceptability of daily microgreen consumption, gastrointestinal tolerability, and potential health impacts of red cabbage and red beet microgreens in healthy middle-aged/older men and postmenopausal women - a population inherently at risk for chronic disease, e.g. cardiovascular disease.
Twelve month extension of a previous study of Multi-Polar RF and PEMF technologies for the treatment of vaginal laxity and for the treatment of the mons pubis and labia for improvement in skin laxity. The study will enroll up to 50 subjects who completed the Venus Fiore CS0716 study for the treatment of vaginal laxity and treatment of the mons pubis and labia for improvement in skin laxity. Subjects will be followed up at least six and twelve months post-treatment. Analysis will be performed on all subjects who complete the six-month and twelve month follow-up visits.
Neopterin is an early and valuable biomarker of cellular immunity, shown to be a sensitive assessment parameter for cell-mediated immune reactions. Hence determination of neopterin concentrations in distinctive body fluids is of diagnostic interest in a wide range of T lymphocytes and macrophages originated diseases. Increased neopterin production is also found in infections due to intracellular living bacteria and parasites. Neopterin concentration is directly proportional to the reactive oxygen species levels and is inversely related to the serum concentration of antioxidants like alpha-tocopherol. Hence it can be regarded as a marker of reactive oxygen species formed by the activated cellular immune system. Consequentially this is useful for predicting the prognosis and diagnosis of severe form of periodontal diseases. Menopause accomplishes a wide range of changes in women's body, and the oral cavity is also not exceptional. As exalted levels of ovarian hormones, detected in pregnancy and oral contraceptive usage, can lead to an increase of gingival inflammation. On the contrary, menopause shows depleted levels of ovarian sex steroids, which also causes worsening of gingival health. Post-menopause was found to be more aggressive and destructive in nature compared to pre-menopause. It has been assessed that the prevalence of oral discomfort was found to be significantly higher along with low flow rates of the saliva with the presence of periodontal disease more frequently. Studies demonstrated that non-surgical periodontal therapy reduces inflammation and improves periodontal status. Therefore it can be assumed that overall inflammatory markers also reduce after non-surgical periodontal therapy.
Aim:The aim of this study is to relieve menopause symptoms and improve quality of life by applying progressive muscle relaxation exercises to women in perimenopause and postmenopausal period. Method: This study was planned as a pre-test, post-test, semi-interventional and control group study in order to relieve menopausal symptoms and to evaluate the effect on improving quality of life by applying progressive muscle relaxation exercises to women in perimenopause and postmenopausal period. In the study, Individual Information Form, Menopause Symptom Rating Scale, Menopause Specific Quality of Life Scale were used to collect data. The intervention group consisted of female students enrolled in GeroAtlas60 + Refresher University, which is a project of the Department of Gerontology, Faculty of Health Sciences, Akdeniz University. The Control group consisted of female students enrolled in the Mediterranean Family Health and Education Association. All female students who accepted to participate in the study and who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. At the beginning of the study, pre-tests were applied to all participants. After 11 weeks of progressive muscle relaxation exercises, final tests were applied to the intervention group. The control group also underwent post-tests 11 weeks after any intervention. Progressive muscle relaxation exercises were then performed. After the researcher's explanation, the participants filled in the data collection forms themselves. The post test data was collected in Jun 2019. The data will be entered in the SPSS file and the analysis of the data will be performed in the next stage.
