Educational and homeownership inequalities in stroke incidence: a population-based longitudinal study of mid-aged women
Conclusions: Lower education level is associated with increased stroke risk in mid-aged women, and is partially mediated by known risk factors, particularly lifestyle and biological factors. Non-homeownership is associated with increased stroke risk, but the underlying mechanism is unclear.

Hysterectomy in young women associates with higher risk of stroke: A nationwide cohort study
Conclusions: Categorized by the patients' age at operation, the associations between hysterectomy and the risk of stroke were different. The excess risk of stroke was observed in women who had hysterectomy before 45years and remained significant even after accounting for baseline cardiovascular risk factors.

Hysterectomy does not increase the risk of hemorrhagic or ischemic stroke over a mean follow-up of 6 years: A longitudinal national cohort study
Hysterectomy is one of the most common major gynecologic surgeries performed in women worldwide. The indications of hysterectomy are leiomyoma, menorrhagia, dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, chronic pelvic pain, pelvic organ prolapse, and gynecologic malignancy [1]. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels and include coronary artery diseases, stroke, and other heart diseases [2]. In the obstetric and gynecologic field, there are several conditions with an increased risk of CVD, including preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, gestational diabetes mellitus (DM), polycystic ova...

Cardiovascular risk factors and diseases in women undergoing hysterectomy with ovarian conservation
Conclusions: Hysterectomy with ovarian conservation is associated with cardiovascular risk factors, particularly obesity. Obesity may contribute to underlying gynecologic conditions leading to hysterectomy; however, surgical selection may also play a role.

For post-menopausal women, vaginal estrogens do not raise risk of cancer, other diseases
This study, the first to examine potential adverse health effects in users of vaginal estrogen compared with non-users, suggests that vaginal estrogen therapy is a safe treatment for genitourinary symptoms such as burning, discomfort, and pain during intercourse associated with menopause.AUTHORSThe paper ’s authors are Dr. Carolyn Crandall of UCLA; Kathleen Hovey of the State University of New York at Buffalo; Christopher Andrews of the University of Michigan; Dr. Rowan Chlebowski of City of Hope; Marcia Stefanick of Stanford University; Dr. Dorothy Lane of the State University of New York at Ston y Brook; Dr. Jan Shifre...

Estrogen alone and health outcomes in black women by African ancestry: a secondary analyses of a randomized controlled trial
Conclusions: In black postmenopausal women with prior hysterectomy, estrogen alone significantly reduced breast cancer incidence with no adverse influence on CHD, venous thromboembolism, or all-cause mortality. Favorable estrogen-alone global index effects in younger black women warrant further study.

In assessing risk of hormone therapy for menopause, dose — not form — matters
FINDINGSWhen it comes to assessing the risk of estrogen therapy for menopause, how the therapy is delivered — taking a pill versus wearing a patch on one’s skin — doesn’t affect risk or benefit, researchers at UCLA and elsewhere have found. But with the commonly used conjugated equine estrogen, plus progestogen, the dosage does. Higher doses, especially over time, are associated with greater risk of problems, including heart disease and some types of cancer, especially among obese women.BACKGROUNDThe Women ’s Health Initiative established the potential of estrogen therapy to increase or decrease the risk of strok...

Association between comorbidities and female sexual dysfunction: findings from the third National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (Natsal-3)
ConclusionsComorbidities were associated with FSD and specific comorbidities associated with dysfunction in specific domains. Urogynecologists and urologists must assess for comorbidities, as women presenting with sexual dysfunction may provide an opportunity for early diagnosis of life-threatening conditions.

Hormone therapy not recommended for chronic disease prevention in menopausal women
Commentary on: Nelson HD, Walker M, Zakher B, et al.. Menopausal hormone therapy for the primary prevention of chronic conditions: a systematic review to update the US Preventive Services Task Force recommendations. Ann Intern Med 2012;157:104–13. Context In 2005, the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) updated its 2002 hormone replacement therapy recommendations, advising against the routine use of oestrogen and progestin (E+P) and unopposed oestrogen (E) to prevent chronic conditions in menopausal women. Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) had been commonly prescribed to prevent conditions such as cardiovascula...

Factors associated with persistent urinary incontinence
Objective: Many women with urinary incontinence (UI) have symptoms that continue over many years; however, virtually nothing is known about factors that are associated with persistent UI.Study Design: We studied 36,843 participants of the Nurses' Health Study, aged 54-79 years at baseline for the UI study, who provided UI information on biennial questionnaires from 2000 through 2008; follow-up in the Nurses' Health Study is 90%. In total, 18,347 women had “persistent UI,” defined as urine leakage ≥1/mo reported on all 5 biennial questionnaires during this 8-year period; 18,496 women had no UI during this period. Usi...

Impact of post operative intensity modulated radiotherapy on acute gastro-intestinal toxicity for patients with endometrial cancer: Results of the phase II RTCMIENDOMETRE French multicentre trial.
CONCLUSION: In accordance with our hypothesis, post-operative IMRT resulted in a low rate (less than 30%) of acute GI grade 2 toxicity, in patients with endometrial carcinomas. At W15, no patient demonstrated a grade 2 adverse event, and the prevalence of remaining grade 1 events was less than 20%.
