Efficiency and safety of acupuncture for women with premature ovarian insufficiency: study protocol for a randomized controlled trial
J Tradit Chin Med. 2023 Oct;43(6):1268-1274. doi: 10.19852/j.cnki.jtcm.20230214.002.ABSTRACTAcupuncture has been widely used as an alternative and complementary therapy for premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) in China. However, research to date has not shown that acupuncture is effective for POI compared with hormone replacement therapy (HRT). We will conduct a randomized, controlled, and outcome assessor-blind trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of acupuncture on POI. Seventy-six patients with POI will be randomly assigned to two groups. The treatment group will receive twenty-eight one-hour sessions of acupunctur...

Lamotrigine and exogenous estrogen among females with epilepsy: A retrospective analysis of administrative claims data
CONCLUSION: Dose increase of lamotrigine following addition of exogenous estrogen is rare among U.S. FWE, with potential disparities based on age and income level. More guidance may be needed for providers on this topic.PMID:37931389 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109514 (Source: Epilepsy and Behaviour)

Postoperative hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction and long-term hormone replacement in patients with childhood-onset craniopharyngioma
ConclusionThis study is a large-sample systematic postoperative endocrine function evaluation of patients with childhood-onset CP. Due to the high prevalence of post-operative hypothalamic-pituitary dysfunction, patients with CP usually require long-term multiple hormone substitution therapy. Individualized management and accurate hormone replacement dosage for postoperative childhood-onset CP patients are of great importance. (Source: Frontiers in Endocrinology)

Breast cancer risk factors based on reproductive and nonreproductive profiling of Pakistani women: A hospital based case control study
Afr J Reprod Health. 2023 Oct 31;27(10):57-64. doi: 10.29063/ajrh2023/v27i10.5.ABSTRACTBreast cancer (BC) is a global public health problem attributed to varying risk factors. The designing of a targeted screening program focused on at-risk women can be cost-effective in reducing its burden. A hospital based case control study was conducted on 138 cases of breast cancer and 169 healthy controls to investigate the reproductive and non-reproductive risk factors for breast cancer in Pakistani women. The odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were computed with unconditional logistic regression. Almost all i.e. 9...
