2,311,888 | Depressive realism and outcome density bias in contingency judgments: the effect of the context and intertrial interval. | The perception of the effectiveness of instrumental actions is influenced by depressed mood. Depressive realism (DR) is the claim that depressed people are particularly accurate in evaluating instrumentality.

2,311,890 | Transdermal nicotine use in postmenopausal women: does the treatment efficacy differ in women using and not using hormone replacement therapy? | This study of postmenopausal female smokers (N = 94) asked: During short-term smoking abstinence, do the beneficial effects of transdermal nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) on acute symptomatology (i.e., withdrawal, cigarette craving, smoking urges, mood, depressive symptoms, motor speed, and reaction time) differ in ... |
2,311,891 | [Changes in endometrial vascularisation due to hormone therapy in menopause]. | Hysteroscopic and histopathologic endometrial study by commune and immunohistochemical techniques on 2 groups of menopausal women on HRT-sequential (24 months) and continuous combined (12 months) compared to pretherapy or a control untreated group showed the changes of endometrial superficial microvascular net-work, wi... |
2,311,892 | [Hormonal replacement therapy and Alzheimer's disease. All quiet on the western front?]. | Although there are plausible biological mechanisms for a neuroprotective effect of estrogens, most therapeutic trials conducted to date have been unable to conclude that hormone replacement therapy (HRT) could significantly slow down the progression of Alzheimer's disease or decrease the severity of dementia. On the ot... |

2,311,894 | Risk of low-energy hip, wrist, and upper arm fractures among current and previous users of hormone replacement therapy: The Danish Nurse Cohort Study. | To examine the effect of oestrogen alone and in combination with progestin on the risk of low-energy, hip, wrist, and upper arm fractures. Additionally, to examine to what extent previous use, duration of use as well as recency of discontinuation of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) influences the fracture risk.</Abstr... |
2,311,895 | The population risk of fractures attributable to oral corticosteroids. | Previous studies have indicated a relationship between oral corticosteroid use and the risk of fracture, although without population-based comparators or exact dose information. The aim was to estimate the relative and population attributable risk (PAR) of admission for non-traumatic fracture among users of corticoster... |
2,311,896 | [Endometriosis during postmenopausal period--probable causes for its origin and development]. | A very rare--casuistic--case of endometriosis is presented, which appeared ten years after surgical menopause (hysterectomy and ovariectomy) without concomitant use of hormone replacement therapy or phytoestrogens.
