Filter by:There are currently no studies evaluating the association between diet and the incidence of endometrial polyps. We aim to evaluate the association to provide more recommendations for the early prevention of endometrial polyps.
The clinical diagnosis and treatment data of 300 cases of cervical neuroendocrine tumors were collected, including age, preoperative biopsy pathology results, postoperative histopathological results, TCT results, and colposcopy biopsy pathology results. At the same time, paraffin tissue specimens (remaining specimens after pathological diagnosis) from 100 cases of cervical neuroendocrine tumors from multiple centers across the country were collected to establish a cervical neuroendocrine tumor data follow-up database. Protein concentration and omics analysis were performed on the data results, to evaluate the molecular characteristics and prognosis of cervical neuroendocrine tumor proteins, and to preliminarily explore its clinical application value.
Obesity and its associated cardiometabolic comorbidities are a major health problem and although their prevalence is increasing in both men and women, evidence shows a faster increase in women, especially in those of childbearing age. In the scientific literature, cardiometabolic risks in women are often considered at menopause, younger women being considered "preserved" or less at risk than men. However, epidemiological studies show that it is essential to study and take into account these risks well before menopause, in particular in women of childbearing age, for their health but also for the health of future generations, considering the intergenerational cycle of women. However, the majority of studies have many limitations concerning the health of women of childbearing age since, in particular, they do not consider the hormonal and therefore physiological specificities of women. Indeed, the natural hormonal variations associated with the menstrual cycle but also the use of hormonal contraception, containing synthetic hormones, are important physiological modulators of these metabolic and nutritional regulations. Interestingly, in a recent narrative review, the investigators pointed out the little existing and reliable data concerning the effect of using oral contraception on the two sides of the energy balance, namely energy expenditure and energy intake. Also, it remains difficult to fully understand these metabolic and nutritional responses and therefore to optimize, whether in terms of primary or tertiary prevention, the health of women. Women using oral contraceptives activated the same brain pathways in response to food stimuli as women without contraception during the luteal phase, whereas these activations differed with respect to the follicular phase. Interestingly, women with overweight or obesity showed similar effects in terms of weight loss in response to an intervention including calorie restriction, a physical activity program and psychological support in women with and without hormonal contraception. However, while women without hormonal contraception managed to maintain the lost weight, women with contraception had a significant weight gain mainly due to an increase in their food intake. Conversely, in young healthy women following a calorie restriction of 500 kcal per week for one month, women with hormonal contraception showed greater weight loss than those without. Several parameters can potentially explain these differences in results, such as weight status, but also the nature of the intervention (i.e. caloric restriction only vs combined energy restriction and physical activity). It is indeed recognized that the level of physical activity and sedentary behaviours influence the energy expenditure of rest and exercise and also the control of appetite; the investigators have recently shown that this level of physical activity modifies the cardiometabolic responses following a meal in healthy men. This underlines the importance of considering inter-individual parameters, such as the level of physical activity and sedentary lifestyle as a predominant factor in nutritional and energy regulation at rest and during physical exercise, a key factor in energy regulation. In general, studies in women concerning the parameters of the energy balance are heterogeneous in terms of the characteristics of the population, the methodology used and do not take into account all the metabolic and nutritional responses that make it possible to understand these regulations. Thus, the main objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of hormonal status (women with and without hormonal contraception) on the fuel utilization during low-intensity physical exercise in women of childbearing age according to their level of physical activity.
RectSexQoL is a study aiming at determining the prevalence of female sexual dysfunction after rectal cancer surgery. It has the goal as well to analyse the impact of an intervention given by a sexologist to such patients.
Introduction: Violence against women is the violation of human rights faced by women of all ages, cultures and education levels everywhere. It can be experienced in many different ways, either individually or socially. Aim: The study was conducted to investigate the effects of education given to university students on their attitudes towards violence against women, and their conflict and awareness levels.
The primary cause of the complex interaction of chronic pelvic pain originates from the visceral organs in the pelvic cavity, and it has been observed that musculoskeletal dysfunctions (such as increased muscle activity in the pelvic floor muscles) are often accompanied by visceral painful stimuli in the pelvic region as a result of shared innervation and visceral-somatic convergence. This study aims to investigate the effect of breathing exercises combined with pelvic floor exercises on pain, pelvic floor muscle activity, psychological factors, and quality of life in women with chronic pelvic pain.
After cesarean section, mothers who are not mobile and cannot take a suitable position to breastfeed their baby, with the designed breastfeeding cradle, the baby approaches the mother's breast and by taking the appropriate position, effective and easy breastfeeding is ensured.
This is an observational study aiming to Examine the effects of video-based yoga compared to face-to-face yoga and physical exercise practices on the physical features, respiratory capacity and sleep quality of sedentary women in pandemic days. The pranayama (respiration), asana (poses), and meditation were given to the face-to-face yoga group, and the same exercises of the face-to-face yoga group were recorded in the video for the video-based yoga group. The exercises for respiration, muscle strengthening, stabilization, and flexibility were given face-to-face to the physical exercise group.
This pilot study will assess the feasibility of a gratitude intervention to promote physical activity, and well-being and positively impact biomarkers of health among older African American breast cancer survivors. The intervention will also include a goal-setting component to promote exercise readiness and examine the cultural phenomena of the Superwoman schema among Black women.
The study consists of an intervention of 16 therapeutic exercise sessions during 8 weeks with a frequency of two sessions per week. All sessions had a practical focus (strength and stretching exercises) with the help of elastic bands. In addition, they had an initial session and another at the end of the intervention in which measurements of the different variables (cervical pain, cervical flexor strength, cervical extensor strength and strength of the scapular stabilising musculature) were taken on two occasions, at the beginning of the study and at the end of the intervention, an average of 2 months. Nonspecific neck pain has a higher incidence in women than in men. Female sex is a risk factor for this pathology. Clinical practice guidelines highlight the importance of preventing neck pain through exercise. There are previous studies on the effects of strength programmes on patients with non-specific neck pain, but none have used elastic bands as an implement, despite the fact that it is one of the most commonly used implements in physiotherapy clinics. Therefore, the aim of this study is to investigate the effects of an elastic band therapeutic exercise intervention in women with non-specific neck pain. It was previously hypothesised that this intervention would have positive effects on pain and strength in the cervical and scapular region.
