Filter by:The aim of this study is to investigate the early changes in macular thickness, corneal thickness and intraocular pressure in young women undergoing surgical menopause. Methods: Eye findings of 30 surgical menopausal (Postoperative 3-6 months) and 48 natural menopause and 22 healty women (control) were evaluated using OCT. Women with no known eye disease, no chronic disease (Diabetes Mellitus, Cardiac Disease any Autoimmune disease) and no migraine in addition to non smokers were included in the study. Women using any hormone and obese women ( BMI >25 kg/m2) were excluded. Macular and corneal thickness and intraocular pressure (IOP) were measured in both eyes of the women
Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model on the quality of life, sleep quality and depressive symptom status of women in surgical menopause. Design: The study was a single-center, randomized, controlled trial. Setting: This study was carried out in the gynecology clinic of a training and research hospital in Türkiye. Method: The participants were randomized into two equal groups: intervention and control. The nursing support program developed in addition to routine nursing care was applied to the intervention group. Routine nursing care was given to the women in the control group. Data were collected with "Personal Information Form", "Menopause-Specific Quality of Life Questionnare", "Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index" and "Perimenopausal Depression Scale". Hypothesis: H0-a: Nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model has no effect on the quality of life of women who have undergone surgical menopause. H0-b: Nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model has no effect on the sleep quality of women who have undergone surgical menopause. H0-c: Nursing support program developed in line with the Roy Adaptation Model has no effect on the depressive symptom status of women who have undergone surgical menopause.
Women suffer from cardiovascular diseases 10 years later than men, therefore female sex has been considered as a 'protective factor'. However, the risk of cardiovascular disease in women increases rapidly after menopause and the declining levels of endogenous estrogen is thought to be the causative factor. Furthermore, Postmenopausal hormone therapy (HT) decreases the severity and intensity of menopausal symptoms and improves women's quality of life. Until the last 10 years, based on the results of observational studies, postmenopausal HT may protect women against cardiovascular events and decrease the risk of coronary artery disease by 35-50%. However, recent randomized primary and secondary prevention trials did not support the cardioprotective effect of HT. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of hormone therapy on serum ischemia modified albumin (IMA) levels. Thirty surgical menopausal women who admitted to Karadeniz Technical University, Faculty of Medicine, Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology during 1-year period and diagnosed as menopause and planned to have hormone therapy for menopausal symptoms were enrolled for this prospective study. The serum İMA levels were recorded before and after (3 months, 6 months, 12 months later) hormone treatment (2 mg Estradiol Hemihidrat).
Risk-Reducing Salpingo-Oophorectomy (RRSO) at the age of 35 to 45 years is recommended for women with a high genetic risk for ovarian cancer. While this procedure decreases the risk of ovarian cancer by 80-96%, it also results in an immediate menopause. Current research on potential adverse effects of premenopausal risk-reducing salpingo-oophorectomy, such as increased risk of cardiovascular disease, compromised bone health, cognitive dysfunction and reduced quality of life, is limited, mostly due to short follow up. The investigators will conduct a multicenter cross-sectional study nested in a cohort of BRCA mutation carriers from 8 Dutch centers for hereditary cancer. Eligible participants are women who underwent RRSO before the age of 45. The participants will be frequency-matched on current age with women above the age of 55 without RRSO or with RRSO after the age of 55. Participants will complete an online questionnaire containing various questions about lifestyle, medical history, risk factors for cardiovascular disease, bone health, cognition and quality of life. Participants will be asked to visit one of the participating hospitals for a blood test, a cardiovascular assessment and a DEXA scan for determining bone mineral density. Afterwards participants will be requested to perform the online Amsterdam Cognition Scale.
