Hormone therapy in the postmenopausal years: considering benefits and risks in clinical practice
AbstractBACKGROUNDMenopausal symptoms can be very distressing and considerably affect a woman ’s personal and social life. It is becoming more and more evident that leaving bothersome symptoms untreated in midlife may lead to altered quality of life, reduced work productivity and, possibly, overall impaired health. Hormone therapy (HT) for the relief of menopausal symptoms has been the obj ect of much controversy over the past two decades. At the beginning of the century, a shadow was cast on the use of HT owing to the concern for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risks, and breast cancer, arising following publication ...

Effects of backhand stroke styles on bone mineral content and density in postmenopausal recreational tennis players: a cross-sectional pilot investigation
One-handed backhand (OB) and two-handed backhand (TB) styles are commonly used in tennis, but only TB generates loadings on the non-dominant arm and a greater extension torque on the rear leg, leading to a gre...

No effect of calcium and vitamin D intake on maternal blood pressure in a healthy pregnant population
Pregnancy causes physiological changes in blood pressure (BP). In patients without pre-existing hypertension, BP falls during the first half of pregnancy and rises from 34 weeks onwards [1]. Hypertensive disorders in pregnancy (HDP) complicate approximately 10% of pregnancies and are associated with adverse outcomes for both mother and foetus [2]. Women with a history of HDP are also at increased risk of developing hypertension in later life as well as ischaemic heart disease, stroke and renal disease [3].

Changing trends in Black-White racial differences in surgical menopause: a population-based study
Bilateral oophorectomy before menopause, or surgical menopause, is associated with negative health outcomes, including increased risk of stroke and other cardiovascular outcomes; however, surgical menopause also dramatically reduces ovarian cancer incidence and mortality rates. Because there are competing positive and negative sequelae of surgical menopause, clinical guidelines have not been definitive. Previous research indicates that White women have higher rates of surgical menopause than other groups.

Factors associated with appropriate treatment of acute-onset severe obstetrical hypertension
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant patients receive expeditious treatment with first-line antihypertensive agents within 1 hour of confirmed severe hypertension to reduce the risk for maternal stroke. However, it is unknown how often this guideline is followed and what factors influence a patient ’s likelihood of receiving guideline-concordant care.

Factors Associated with Appropriate Treatment of Acute-Onset Severe Obstetric Hypertension
The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recommends pregnant patients receive expeditious treatment with first-line antihypertensive agents within one hour of confirmed severe hypertension to reduce the risk of maternal stroke. However, it is unknown how often this guideline is followed and what factors influence a patient ’s likelihood of receiving guideline-concordant care.

Hemodynamic findings in normotensive women with small ‐for‐gestational‐age and growth‐restricted fetuses
ConclusionsDifferent maternal hemodynamic profiles characterize women with SGA or FGR fetuses. Furthermore, a negative correlation was found between the maternal cardiac output and the length of neonatal hospitalization.

Heterogeneity among women with stroke: health, demographic and healthcare utilization differentials
Although age specific stroke rates are higher in men, women have a higher lifetime risk and are more likely to die from a stroke. Despite this increased severity, most studies focus on male/female differences ...

Adverse Cardiovascular Events Associated With Female Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
Objective To evaluate national trends in major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in female pelvic reconstructive surgery (FPRS). Methods Data from the National Inpatient Sample was used to identify women undergoing FPRS between 2012 and 2016. Demographic, procedural, and comorbidity data were collected. Patients were stratified into those with and without MACCE (defined as all-cause mortality, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction (MI) and acute ischemic stroke). Descriptive statistics are expressed as medians and interquartile ranges. Pairwise analysis was performed using Wilcoxon rank-s...

Stroke in Pregnancy
Pregnancy confers a substantially increased risk of stroke, especially during the third trimester and until 6  weeks postpartum. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy and gestational hypercoagulability are important contributors to obstetric stroke. Preeclampsia and eclampsia confer risk for future cardiovascular disease. Hemorrhagic stroke is the most common type of obstetric stroke. Ischemic stroke can res ult from cardiomyopathy, paradoxical embolism, posterior reversible encephalopathy, reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome, and dissections. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a frequent complication of pregnancy.

Age, menstruation history, and the brain
Conclusions: Menopause may contribute to brain volume beyond typical aging effects. Furthermore, early age of menarche, delayed age of menopause and increasing duration of reproductive stage were negatively associated with brain volume. Further research is required to determine whether the negative association between age of menopause and HV is potentially an indicator of future vulnerability for dementia.

Fetal cardiovascular hemodynamics in type 1 diabetic pregnancies at near ‐term gestation
ConclusionsIn maternal type 1 diabetes pregnancies, fetal cardiovascular hemodynamics is impaired. Maternal type 1 diabetes does not seem to alter placental vascular impedance or induce placental inflammation.
