The Specialized Donor Care Facility (SDCF) Model and Advances in Management of Thoracic Organ Donors.
CONCLUSIONS: Lack of high-quality prospective evidence results in conflicting practices across organ procurement organizations and best practices remain controversial. Future studies should focus on prospective, randomized investigations to evaluate donor management strategies. The SDCF model fosters a collaborative environment that encourages academic inquiry and is an ideal setting for these investigations. PMID: 33421385 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Menopausal Hormone Therapy and Cardiovascular Disease: The Role of Formulation, Dose, and Route of Delivery.
CONCLUSIONS: Although HT continues to have an important role in menopause management, it is not recommended for primary or secondary CVD prevention. Different formulations, doses, and routes of delivery of HT have different effects on cardiometabolic markers and risks of clinical CVD events. However, long-term trials evaluating clinical outcomes with transdermal and other alternate HT regimens are limited. PMID: 33506261 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

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.

Fezolinetant in the treatment of vasomotor symptoms associated with menopause
Expert Opin Investig Drugs. 2021 Mar 16. doi: 10.1080/13543784.2021.1893305. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Although international clinical practice guidelines recognize a continued role for menopausal hormone therapy (HT), particularly for symptomatic women <60 years of age or within 10 years of menopause, safety and tolerability concerns have discouraged HT use due to potential links with a perceived increased risk of hormone-dependent cancers, and an established risk of stroke and venous thromboembolism. There is therefore a need for safe, effective non-hormonal therapy for relief of vasomotor symptoms (...

The effect of female sex hormones on Hsp27 phosphorylation and histological changes in prefrontal cortex after tMCAO
CONCLUSION: Our results indicate that the neuroprotective effect of neurosteroids in the brain may be due to the modulation of heat shock proteins.PMID:33857717 | DOI:10.1016/j.prp.2021.153415

Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk in Transgender Patients Presenting for Gender-Affirming Care
The transgender population is rapidly growing in the United States and abroad. Transgender men and women are marginalized as a result of their transgender status with resultant health repercussions. This and other factors such as increased substance use, mental health disorders, violence, and chronic stress may place transgender individuals at higher risk for cardiovascular disease. Additionally, many transgender patients pursue gender affirming hormone therapy which has been linked to increased rates of some cardiovascular events such as metabolic syndrome, venous thromboembolism, and stroke.

Current Perspective on Menopause Hormone Therapy and Cardiovascular Risk
AbstractPurpose of reviewIn past decades, there has a been a paradigm shift concerning menopause, hormone therapy (HT), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). While initial observational studies suggested hormone replacement to provide a cardioprotective benefit for all menopausal women, subsequent large randomized trials have not confirmed these benefits and furthermore brought to light the risks of HT with regard to CVD, venous thrombosis, and stroke. The goal of this review is to summarize current recommendations regarding HT as it pertains to cardiovascular risk.Recent FindingsMenopause HT remains the most effective treatme...

The role of medications in successful aging
Climacteric. 2021 May 12:1-8. doi: 10.1080/13697137.2021.1911991. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTSuccessful aging includes good health and low levels of disability. To that end, primary prevention is far better than managing subsequent organ damage. When medication is needed to prevent or manage disease, the preferred choice should be associated with the greatest benefits and fewest adverse effects. Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in postmenopausal women worldwide. Considering disease-adjusted life years, other leading causes are chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, diabetes mellit...

Endocrine disorders in a patient with a suspicion of a mitochondrial disease, MELAS syndrome - a case report and literature review
We present a girl who was suspected of MELAS syndrome during the diagnostic evaluation of short stature. The patient suffered from symptoms potentially indicating mitochondrial disease, such as muscular weakness, cranial nerve VI palsy, headaches, retinitis pigmentosa, sensory-neural hearing loss, and elevated lactic acid. T2-weighted brain MRI showed hyperintense lesions in the white matter. Muscular biopsy revealed ragged red fibres. Genetic evaluation did not detect the most common mutations in the MT-TL1 gene and MT-ND5 gene. Endocrine tests led to the confirmation of growth hormone deficiency, and so replacement treat...
