In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
A benign pituitary-region neoplasm that originates from Rathke's pouch. The two major histologic and clinical subtypes are adamantinous (or classical) craniopharyngioma and papillary craniopharyngioma. The adamantinous form presents in children and adolescents as an expanding cystic lesion in the pituitary region. The cystic cavity is filled with a black viscous substance and histologically the tumor is composed of adamantinomatous epithelium and areas of calcification and necrosis. Papillary craniopharyngiomas occur in adults, and histologically feature a squamous epithelium with papillations. (From Joynt, Clinical Neurology, 1998, Ch14, p50)

Absent pituitary gland and hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis associated with partial ophthalmoplegia and postaxial polydactyly: a variant of orofaciodigital syndrome VI or a new syndrome? (1/1069)

We report two sibs with features overlapping those of orofaciodigital syndrome type VI (Varadi syndrome). Both presented at birth with oculomotor abnormalities, dysmorphic facial features, and dysgenesis of the cerebellar vermis. There were minimal oral manifestations (high arched palate) in both of them and one had postaxial polydactyly of both hands and one foot. In addition, there was evidence of aplasia of the pituitary gland on MRI scan in both of them with evidence of hypopituitarism. Both responded well to hormone replacement therapy with improvement in their linear growth and mental ability. These cases may represent a new autosomal recessive midline defect syndrome with features overlapping OFDS VI. Alternatively the features in these children could represent variability within OFDS VI.  (+info)

Apo E phenotype and changes in serum lipids in adult patients during growth hormone replacement. (2/1069)

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether apo E phenotype influences changes in lipid profiles induced by growth hormone replacement in growth hormone (GH)-deficient adults. DESIGNS: Patients were treated for 6 months with recombinant human GH (hGH), given in a dose of 0.125 U/kg per week for 4 weeks followed by 0.25 U/kg per week thereafter. The effects on serum lipids and the influence of apo E phenotype were examined. METHODS: Thirty patients (aged 35.1+/-11.8 years: mean +/- S.D.) with adult growth hormone deficiency with included in the study. Fasting serum samples were analysed for apo E phenotype total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol, triglycerides, lipoprotein (a) (Lp(a)) and IGF-I. Low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol was calculated using the Friedwald formula. RESULTS: Six months of replacement treatment with hGH resulted in a reduction in HDL-cholesterol from 0.90+/-0.10 to 0.68+/-0.08 mmol/l (P<0.01), and a small, non-significant reduction in total cholesterol from 6.14+/-0.40 to 5.99+/-0.35 mmol/l (P = 0.06). There was no significant change in the other lipid parameters. The decrease in HDL-cholesterol concentration was greater in patients carrying the apo E2 allele (0.40+/-0.07 mmol/l, P<0.05) than in patients homozygous for the apo E3 allele (0.23+/-0.04 mmol/l) and patients carrying the apo E4 allele (0.15+/-0.36 mmol/l). Patients with the apo E4 allele had lower baseline cholesterol concentrations than patients lacking the apo E4 allele, and this persisted after treatment with hGH (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Apo E phenotype may be a determining factor in the response of HDL-cholesterol to hGH in GH-deficient adults.  (+info)

Turner's syndrome and pregnancies after oocyte donation. (3/1069)

A total of 20 clinical pregnancies was achieved among 18 women with Turner's syndrome who were treated in an oocyte donation programme. The oocytes were donated by voluntary unpaid donors. A mean of 1.8 embryos per transfer was given to each recipient by way of 28 fresh and 25 frozen embryo transfers. With fresh and frozen embryos, 13 and seven pregnancies respectively were achieved. The clinical pregnancy rate per fresh embryo transfer was 46%, and the implantation rate 30%, being similar to the corresponding rates among our oocyte recipients with primary ovarian failure in general. The corresponding rates with frozen embryos were 28 and 19%. Of these pregnancies, 40% ended in miscarriage. This high rate may be explained by uterine factors. Six women were hypertensive during pregnancy, a rate comparable with that in other oocyte donation pregnancies. All these women delivered by Caesarean section. Pregnancy and implantation rates after oocyte donation were high in women with Turner's syndrome, but the risk of cardiovascular and other complications is high. Careful assessment before and during follow-up of pregnancy are important. Transfer of only one embryo at a time to avoid the additional complications caused by twin pregnancy is recommended.  (+info)

Primary prevention of CHD: nine ways to reduce risk. (4/1069)

Lowering cholesterol can reduce the incidence of coronary heart disease. Treating hypertension reduces overall mortality and is most effective in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease in older patients. Smoking cessation reduces the level of risk to that of nonsmokers within about three years of cessation. Aspirin is likely to be an effective means of primary prevention, but a group in whom treatment is appropriate has yet to be defined. Evidence that supplementation with vitamin A or C reduces the risk of coronary heart disease is inadequate; the data for use of vitamin E are inconclusive. Epidemiologic evidence is sufficient to recommend that most persons increase their levels of physical activity. Lowering homocysteine levels through increased folate intake is a promising but unproven primary prevention strategy. Hormone replacement therapy was associated with reduced incidence of coronary heart disease in epidemiologic studies but was not effective in a secondary prevention trial.  (+info)

Hormone replacement therapy, inflammation, and hemostasis in elderly women. (5/1069)

Lipid-lowering by postmenopausal hormone therapy (HRT) explains only partly the assumed coronary risk reduction associated with therapy. To explore other possible mechanisms, we studied associations of HRT use with inflammation and hemostasis risk markers in women >/=65 years of age. Subjects were selected from 3393 participants in the fourth year examination of the Cardiovascular Health Study, an observational study of vascular disease risk factors. After excluding women with vascular disease, we compared levels of inflammation and hemostasis variables in the 230 women using unopposed estrogen and 60 using estrogen/progestin, with those of 196 nonusers selected as controls. Compared with nonusers, unopposed estrogen use was associated with 59% higher mean C-reactive protein (P<0.001), but with modestly lower levels of other inflammation indicators, fibrinogen, and alpha-1 acid glycoprotein (P<0.001). Factor VIIc was 16% higher among estrogen users (P<0.001), but this was not associated with higher thrombin production (prothrombin fragment 1-2), or increased fibrin breakdown (D-dimer). Concentration of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 was 50% lower in both using groups (P<0.001) compared with nonusers, and this was associated with higher plasmin-antiplasmin complex: 8% higher in estrogen and 18% higher in estrogen/progestin users (P<0. 05). Relationships between the markers and hormone use were less pronounced in estrogen/progestin users, with no association for C-reactive protein except in women in upper 2 tertiles of body mass index (P for interaction, 0.02). The direction and strength of the associations of HRT use with inflammation markers differed depending on the protein, so it is not clear whether HRT confers coronary risk reduction through an inflammation-sensitive mechanism. Associations with hemostasis markers indicated no association with evidence of procoagulation and a possible association with increased fibrinolytic activity.  (+info)

Alteration in sexually dimorphic testosterone biotransformation profiles as a biomarker of chemically induced androgen disruption in mice. (6/1069)

Assessment of the impact of environmental chemicals on androgen homeostasis in rodent models is confounded by high intraindividual and interindividual variability in circulating testosterone levels. Our goal was to evaluate changes in testosterone biotransformation processes as a measure of androgen homeostasis and as a biomarker of exposure to androgen-disrupting chemicals. Sex-specific differences in hepatic testosterone biotransformation enzyme activities were identified in CD-1 mice. Gonadectomy followed by replacement of individual steroid hormones identified specific sex differences in biotransformation profiles that were due to the inductive or suppressive effects of testosterone. Notably, significant androgen-dependent differences in testosterone 6[alpha]- and 15[alpha]-hydroxylase activities were demonstrated, and the ratio of 6[alpha]- and 15[alpha]-hydroxylase activities proved to be an excellent indicator of the androgen status within the animal. The male or "masculinized" testosterone 6[alpha]/15[alpha]-hydroxylase ratio was significantly less than the female or "feminized" ratio. Male mice were exposed to both an antiandrogen, vinclozolin, and to a compound that modulates serum androgen levels, indole-3-carbinol, to test the utility of this ratio as a biomarker of androgen disruption. Treatment with the antiandrogen vinclozolin significantly increased the 6[alpha]/15[alpha]-hydroxylase ratio. Indole-3-carbinol treatment resulted in a dose-dependent, but highly variable, decrease in serum testosterone levels. The 6[alpha]/15[alpha]-hydroxylase ratio increased as serum testosterone levels decreased in these animals. However, the increase in the ratio was much less variable and more sensitive than serum testosterone levels. These investigations demonstrate that the 6[alpha]/15[alpha]-hydroxylase ratio is a powerful measure of androgen modulation and a sensitive indicator of exposure to androgen-disrupting chemicals in CD-1 mice.  (+info)

Is recruitment more difficult with a placebo arm in randomised controlled trials? A quasirandomised, interview based study. (7/1069)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether including a placebo arm in a clinical trial of hormone replacement therapy influenced women's stated willingness to participate. DESIGN: Quasirandomised, interview based study. SETTING: 10 group practices in the Medical Research Council's General Practice Research Framework. PARTICIPANTS: 436 postmenopausal women aged 45-64 who had not had a hysterectomy. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Stated willingness to enter a trial and reasons for the decisions made. RESULTS: Of 218 women told about the trial without a placebo arm, 85 (39%) indicated their willingness to enter compared with 65 (30%) of the 218 women told about the trial with the placebo arm (P=0.06). Part of this difference was due to explicit reluctance to take a placebo. Altruism and personal benefit were the reasons most frequently given for wanting to take part in a trial. The reasons most frequently cited for not wanting to take part were reluctance to restart periods, not wanting to take unknown or unnecessary tablets, or not wanting to interfere with present good health. CONCLUSION: For preventive trials the inclusion of a placebo arm may reduce patients' willingness to participate.  (+info)

Regression of cardiac abnormalities after replacement therapy in Addison's disease. (8/1069)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate by echocardiography the cardiac structure and function in patients with primary adrenocortical insufficiency. DESIGN AND METHODS: Two-dimensionally guided M-mode echocardiograms and spectral Doppler studies were performed in seven consecutive patients with newly diagnosed autoimmune primary adrenal failure before and 4-8 months after an adequate regimen of steroid substitution. Echocardiographic parameters were also studied in ten healthy controls. RESULTS: In the cases with untreated Addison's disease, both left ventricular end-systolic and end-diastolic dimensions were significantly reduced in comparison with those in controls (P<0.01). Four patients had echocardiographic signs of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) at the anterior leaflet, with no evidence of mitral regurgitation by Doppler echocardiography. Systolic clicks characteristic of MVP were present on auscultation in two of these cases. Left ventricular chamber size normalized, i.e. significantly increased (P<0.01), and both echocardiographic and physical signs of MVP resolved after steroid substitution in all patients. All other echocardiographic indices were normal before and after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: Patients with untreated Addison's disease have cardiac abnormalities which regress after steroid substitution. A valvular-ventricular disproportion due to the hypovolemic state could explain these findings.  (+info)

Growth hormone replacement therapy improves cognition. Blog by Scarlett Law Group, a San Francisco personal injury law firm that handles virtually all types of accident and injury claims.
Research and clinical trials on hormone replacement therapies have indicated a higher incidence of tumors, especially breast cancer, in post-menopausal women who take synthetic hormones; therefore, doctors have become more reluctant to prescribe the treatment. In 2011, studies conducted by University of Missouri researchers found that a natural compound called apigenin, which is found in celery, parsley, and apples, could reduce the incidence of tumor growth in women receiving hormone replacement therapy. Now, based on subsequent studies conducted by MU researchers, they are recommending that women not ingest pure apigenin as a supplement. A new study shows that when the supplement apigenin is ingested in a diet at the same concentration as subjects received during IV injections in previous studies-the benefits were reversed leading to a higher incidence of cancerous tumors in subjects receiving progestin. Typically, hormone replacement therapies improve the lives of menopausal women and ...
Hormone replacement: For hypogonadism caused by testicular failure, male hormone replacement (testosterone replacement therapy or TRT) is used. TRT can restore sexual function and muscle strength and prevent bone loss. In addition, men receiving TRT often experience an increase in energy, sex drive and sense of well-being.. How is of testosterone replacement therapy administered? Several testosterone delivery methods exist. Choosing a specific therapy depends on your preference of a particular delivery system, the side effects and the cost. Methods include:. Injection: Testosterone injections are safe and effective. Injections are given in a muscle about every two weeks to 4 weeks. Your symptoms may come and go between doses. You or a family member can learn to give TRT injections at home. If youre uncomfortable giving yourself injections, a nurse or doctor can give the injections.. Patch: A patch containing testosterone (Androderm) is applied each night to your back, abdomen, upper arm or ...
Studies are now plentiful that show the benefits of hormone replacement, not just for health benefits, but also for reduced cancer risk. My mentor in the field of Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), Neal Rouzier MD, gave a superb summary of the literature that I have summarized below with regards to Testosterone (and growth hormone) replacement for men and the risk of prostate cancer.. FOR MEN:. The study by Fuhrman Et. Al., Basal Growth Hormone Concentrations in Blood and The Risk for Prostate Cancer: A Case-Control Study, found a statistically significant trend of decreasing prostate cancer risk across increasing Growth Hormone (GH) quintiles, and that lower levels of Growth Hormone in the serum are associated with increased prostate cancer risk. This fits with the experience that children on GH do not have increased risk for cancers. [1].

Estrogen replacement therapy, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and natural hormone replacement therapy, also known as bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, can all help relieve menopausal sympto
According to the recent report by IMARC Group, titled Hormone Replacement Therapy Market: Global Industry Trends, Share, Size, Growth, Opportunity and Forecast 2021-2026, the global hormone replacement therapy market size reached US$ 4.5 Billion in 2019. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) refers to a type of treatment wherein low levels of hormones in the body are replenished. It helps in balancing the estrogen or progesterone levels in women nearing menopause. Apart from this, it is suitable for patients with a deficiency of growth hormone and elderly patients suffering from hypogonadism. As HRT is considered an efficacious treatment, patients now prefer it over herbal medicines or chemical drugs. This therapy is available in different forms, including gels, implants, skin and mouth patches, and injections. However, HRT may cause some side effects such as nausea, bloating, indigestion, headaches, and cramps.. Get a sample copy of this Report: ...

February 10, 2004. February 10, 2004. The government today told makers of hormone replacement therapies to include Alzheimers disease and other forms of dementia on the list of possible warnings for these popular drugs. Alzheimers will now join heart disease, strokes, and breast cancer as possible risk factors for women taking these medications.. Hormone replacement therapies containing estrogen and progestin have been used by women for decades to treat hot flashes, night sweats, and other symptoms of menopause. While the drugs may help for these troubling symptoms, a landmark study in 2002 found that they also appear to carry an increased risk of breast cancer, heart attacks, and strokes.. It was also hoped that hormone replacement therapy might keep memory intact and ward off Alzheimers in older women. Last year, though, researchers found that it appears to do little to prevent Alzheimers in this age group - and may even increase the risk. [See the article, HRT Boosts Alzheimers Risk.] ...

In this issue of Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, Herrington and colleagues23 report the effect of hormone replacement therapy on endothelium-dependent vasodilation in 1662 women participating in the Cardiovascular Health Study, a longitudinal study of cardiovascular risk factors in the elderly. The authors used vascular ultrasound to measure flow-mediated dilation of the brachial artery, a response that has been shown to be NO-dependent27 and to correlate with responses in the coronary circulation.28 As with the coronary circulation, endothelial dysfunction in the brachial artery improves with many risk reduction therapies,1,3 and a preliminary study suggests that brachial artery endothelial dysfunction is an independent predictor of short-term cardiovascular disease events in high risk patients.29. Overall, Herrington and colleagues23 found no significant difference in endothelium-dependent vasodilation in the 291 women with current or previous hormone replacement therapy ...
ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION: Associations of hormone-receptor positive breast cancer with excess adiposity are reasonably well characterized; however, uncertainty remains regarding the association of body mass index (BMI) with hormone-receptor negative malignancies, and possible interactions by hormone replacement therapy (HRT) use. METHODS: Within the European EPIC cohort, Cox proportional hazards models were used to describe the relationship of BMI, waist and hip circumferences with risk of estrogen receptor (ER)-progesterone receptor (PR)- (n=1,021) and ER+PR+ (n=3,586) breast tumors within five-year age bands. Among postmenopausal women, the joint effects of BMI and HRT use were analyzed. RESULTS: For risk of ER-PR- tumors, there was no association of BMI across the age bands. However, when analyses were restricted to postmenopausal HRT never users, a positive risk association with BMI (3rd versus 1st tertile HR=1.47[1.01-2.15]) was observed. BMI was inversely associated with ER+PR+ tumors among women

TY - JOUR. T1 - Hormone replacement therapy and/or lipid-lowering drugs for menopausal women with hypercholesterolaemia. AU - Rosano, G. M C. AU - Fini, M.. AU - Onorati, D.. AU - Mercuro, G.. AU - Rosano, Giuseppe. AU - Kaski, Juan Carlos. PY - 2000. Y1 - 2000. N2 - Menopause is associated with an increase in the total cholesterol level and with unfavourable changes in the lipid profile. The increase in total plasma cholesterol is associated with a decrease of HDL cholesterol, which is an important predictor of cardiac events in women, and with an increase in the plasma levels of LDL cholesterol and of the atherogenic Lp(a). Several studies have shown that oral administration of oestrogen and oestrogen-progestin replacement therapy has a beneficial effect upon the lipid profile, reducing total and LDL cholesterol and Lp(a) and increasing HDL cholesterol levels. Although these effects may be of importance in the setting of primary prevention it is not clear whether hormone replacement therapy is ...

This is sometimes referred to as BHRT and is considered to be a form of alternative medicine. The claim is that natural or bioidentical HRT is customized to the individual requirements of each woman by virtue of saliva testing and blood analysis.. This type of hormone replacement therapy is sometimes dispensed by compounding pharmacies so that they can be customized to each individual woman. It is also claimed that this form of HRT is both effective and safer than other types.. This claim of safety is made based on the fact that these hormones are often plant derived. They may be derived from yams or soybeans and then compounded using requisite carbon, hydrogen and oxygen molecules. This resultant hormone molecule is supposed to be closer to the human hormone in nature and composition it is claimed and is therefore safer.. However, there is actually nothing to suggest that natural hormone replacement therapy is actually safer than conventional HRT. It is thought to have the same risks and ...
The use of hormone replacement therapy to aid in menopausal symptoms has been a popular therapy since the 1960s. These hormones are praised in magazine articles and books, leading women to believe that they have no risks. However, even though hormone replacement therapy has some proven benefits, studies have shown that it also increases a womens risk of breast cancer, heart attack, and stroke.. There are always risks when you fool with nature, and we must be cautious when using any type of drug or hormonal therapy. For the best protection against menopausal symptoms, a woman should stay slim, exercise and eat a diet rich in cruciferous vegetables and other greens for years prior to menopause. If a hormone therapy is necessary, there are forms and amounts that are safer than others, when used properly, and every woman deserves to know the associated risks involved.. ...

To the Editor,. Timing Hypothesis: Is it years since menopause or age at baseline?. Schierbeck et al 1 reported that initiation of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) early after menopause significantly reduced risk of mortality, heart failure (HF) , or myocardial infarction (MI) without any apparent increase in risk of cancer , venous thromboembolism, or stroke when compared to no treatment. The results of this study require caution in the interpretation.. The Danish study relies on a Timing Hypothesis suggesting beneficial effects of HRT if initiated early after menopause. However, we believe that timing of HRT initiation has more relevance to the age of participants at baseline than to their years since menopause. Increased age is a well established cardiovascular risk factor. Analysis of HRT arm of WHI for cardiovascular events by age at baseline 2 supports this Age Hypothesis. Total number of CHD events in age groups 50-59 year, 60 - 69 year, and 70-79 year receiving HRT in WHI were 59, ...

This study will determine the effects of hormone replacement therapy (estrogen alone or estrogen and progesterone) on the walls of arteries in postmenopausal women. Inflammation and stiffness of artery walls are two risk factors for atherosclerosis-deposits of fatty substances (plaques) that can block the vessel, causing a heart attack or stroke. Estrogen raises the levels of certain substances in the blood that cause vessel inflammation and lowers the levels of others. This study will measure the net effects of estrogen on artery wall inflammation and stiffness.. Postmenopausal women in good health may participate in this study. Volunteers will be screened for eligibility with a complete medical history, heart examination, and blood tests. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either: 1) hormone therapy (estradiol 2 mg daily alone for women who have had a hysterectomy or estradiol plus micronized progesterone 200 mg daily for women with an intact uterus); or 2) placebo (look-alike ...
Menopause, the universal biological event in a womans life occurs at about age 51, marking the transition from the reproductive to the non-reproductive phase of life. As the ovaries become less and less efficient and produce less estrogen, many women begin to experience a range of uncomfortable symptoms that may affect their quality of life. In some cases, hormone replacement therapy, (HRT) may be a good option for these women.. What Happens As Women Age. Typically, the older women get menstrual periods change in character, becoming irregular until they cease altogether several years later. After the age of about 54, the ovaries become totally nonfunctional as blood levels containing estrogen drop to very low values for the remainder of a womans life. It is at this time that a woman must decide whether or not to pursue treatment with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Logically, this decision should be based on the possible immediate and long-term consequences of having almost no estrogen in ...
Press Release issued Oct 5, 2012: Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is administration of hormones to those patients who are under a phase of declining natural hormones in their body. Hormone replacement therapy is mostly administered to women undergoing menopausal phase.

Over the years, I have counseled thousands of women who are experiencing menopause. Menopause is a time when the ovaries reduce the production of estrogen and progesterone. This change may bring with it common physical side effects such as hot flashes, insomnia, depression, anxiety, fatigue, thinning hair, aching joints and muscles, vaginal dryness and others.. Doctors have many women on hormone replacement therapy (HRT), a combination of estrogen and progestin (synthetic progesterone). It was thought that this combination of hormones would ease hot flashes and insomnia, and would help preserve bone strength, mental acuity and heart health. Unfortunately, most people dont bother to read the fine print on the risks of taking synthetic hormones.. The Womens Health Inititative, a federally funded clinical trial, showed that taking estrogen and progestin together, for more than a few years, actually increases a womans risk of developing potentially deadly cardiovascular problems and invasive ...

Assessing benefits and risks of estrogen and hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women has been a long story with conflicting results and major changes in paradigms.1,2 Observational studies had consistently demonstrated a reduction in mortality and cardiovascular disease incidence in women on hormone replacement therapy compared to postmenopausal women not on replacement therapy. However, randomized trials have resulted in great disappointment because hormone replacement therapy for primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic disease were mostly associated with more risk (thromboembolism, malignancies, stroke) than benefit.1,3,4 However, the estrogen story has not been buried because of convincing preclinical data demonstrating a wide variety of cardiovasculoprotective action of estrogens.5 Among others, estrogen has major impact on the endothelium. The integrity of the endothelium effectively prevents atherosclerotic lesion formation and progression and has therefore come ...
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women in the UK, with about 6700 developing the malignancy and 4600 dying from it every year. However, there is limited information about the risk of ovarian cancer associated with the use of hormone replacement therapy (HRT). METHODS: 948,576 postmenopausal women from the UK Million Women Study who did not have previous cancer or bilateral oophorectomy were followed-up for an average of 5.3 years for incident ovarian cancer and 6.9 years for death. Information on HRT use was obtained at recruitment and updated where possible. Relative risks for ovarian cancer were calculated, stratified by age and hysterectomy status, and adjusted by area of residence, socioeconomic group, time since menopause, parity, body-mass index, alcohol consumption, and use of oral contraceptives. FINDINGS: When they last reported HRT use, 287,143 women (30%) were current users and 186 751 (20%) were past users. During follow-up, 2273 incident ovarian cancers and
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a treatment for women who have reached or passed menopause, which often is referred to as the change of life. HRT involves taking small doses of one or two female hormones, estrogen and progesterone.Around age 50, a womans menstrual periods become less frequent. Menopause is the point at which they stop altogether.
TY - JOUR. T1 - Changes in Fertility and Hormone Replacement Therapy in Kidney Disease. AU - Holley, Jean L.. AU - Schmidt, Rebecca J.. PY - 2013/5/1. Y1 - 2013/5/1. N2 - Infertility is common among men and women with CKD and fertility is usually restored with successful kidney transplantation. There are many causes of infertility in those on dialysis, including sexual dysfunction and impaired spermatogenesis and ovulation resulting from an altered hormonal milieu. There is little information about infertility in CKD, but it is clear that ESRD results in low rates of pregnancy in women. Early reports of increased pregnancy rates in women on nocturnal hemodialysis suggest that this modality may improve the abnormal reproductive hormonal milieu of ESRD; small studies of men on dialysis also suggest this. Just as the specific causes of infertility in men and women with CKD/ESRD are unknown, we also lack information about the appropriateness of hormone replacement in these patients. This paper ...

I am seeing more and more forum posts with people in their mid-twenties to mid-thirties asking about how early is too early to go on permanent HRT. They ask the same questions Ive asked, including Am I too young for HRT? and What are my other options?.. The sad thing is that nobody has any answers for them, including myself. I am 33 now. I was on TRT when I was 32. I have secondary hypogonadism. I am not currently taking testosterone replacement because Im trying all other options first. Ive tried HCG. Ive tried natural testosterone boosters like tribulus. Ive tried cutting off all estrogen using Arimidex. Nothing has worked so far. I am facing the daunting idea of spending 3/4 of my lifetime on permanent testosterone replacement therapy (TRT).. The bodybuilding forums are full of people saying they dont see the problem with it. They think we should all just go on HRT for life and not worry about it. But nobody has done any real long-term (30-40 years) studies on the effects of hormone ...

A variety of methods for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) exist, and the major potential risks of TRT have been well established. The risk of developing polycythemia secondary to exogenous testosterone (T) has been reported to range from 0.4% to 40%. Implantable T pellets have been used since 1972, and secondary polycythemia has been reported to be as low as 0.4% with this administration modality. However, our experience has suggested a higher rate. We conducted an institutional review board-approved, single-institution, retrospective chart review (2009-2013) to determine the rate of secondary polycythemia in 228 men treated with subcutaneously implanted testosterone pellets ...

Bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), also known as bioidentical hormone therapy or natural hormone therapy, is the use of hormones that are identical on a molecular level with endogenous hormones in hormone replacement therapy. It may also be combined with blood and saliva testing of hormone levels, and the use of pharmacy compounding to obtain hormones in an effort to reach a targeted level of hormones in the body. A number of claims by some proponents of bioidentical hormone replacement therapy have not been definitively established through scientific testing. Specific hormones used in BHT include estrone, estradiol, progesterone (which are available both in FDA-approved manufactured products and as pharmacy-compounded products), testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) (both testosterone and DHEA have some stringent limits placed on their availability and approval in Canada and the United States), and estriol (which is available in Europe but is not approved in Canada and the ...

TUESDAY, Oct. 6, 2015 (HealthDay News) -- Hormone replacement therapy may be good for a womans kidneys, a preliminary study suggests.. The risks and benefits of hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women are still an area of active debate, and the effect of hormone replacement therapy on the kidney has shown variable results, said study author Dr. Andrea Kattah of the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota.. Her study compared nearly 700 older women taking hormone replacements with more than 1,500 who were not.. Rates of two indicators of kidney disease -- microalbuminuria and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate -- were much lower in the women taking hormone replacements, the study found..

article{f750d13e-8dda-43ae-917d-eb79d117c2b9, abstract = {Objectives: Reports suggest that combined estrogen plus progestin hormone replacement therapy (HRT) confers a higher breast cancer risk than estrogen alone. We aimed to establish whether breast cancer risk depends on the type of HRT formula. Methods: The cohort consisted of 6586 women, aged 50 - 64 years, from the Lund area, Sweden, with no reported breast cancer upon inclusion. We obtained information such as HRT use through a questionnaire between December 1995 and February 2000. New breast cancers were identified through the South Swedish tumor registry. Results: Between inclusion and December 2001, 101 women developed breast cancer. Only ever use of the continuous combined estrogen plus progestin ( CCEP) formula differed between cases and controls (45.2% versus 23.5%; p = 0.000001).
