2,315,688 | Continuation of hormone replacement therapy during acute myocardial infarction after the women's health initiative study. Is it the time for change? | Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was given for many years in order to relieve menopausal symptoms and was used for as long as symptom control was necessary. The Heart and Estrogen/Progestin Replacement Study (HERS) and Women's Health Initiative (WHI) studies showed that HRT should not be given for primary or secondary... |
2,315,689 | Effects of raloxifene and continuous combined hormone therapy on haemostasis variables: a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study. | Hormone replacement therapy is known to increase the risk of thromboembolic events. We compared the effects of HRT and raloxifene on some haemostasis variables.</AbstractText>In a multicenter, double-blind study, 54 healthy postmenopausal women were randomized to receive either continuous treatment with 2 mg 17beta-est... |
2,315,690 | [Estrogen treatment in climacteric and postmenopause after 2002. Can it still be prescribed?]. | Preliminary results of the American study called Women's Health Initiative starting in July 2002, showed an increase in some health risks, such as coronary disease, stroke, invasive breast cancer and dementia in 2003, in postmenopausal users of replacement hormonal therapy (HRT) with conjugated equine estrogens (CEE) a... |
2,315,691 | Effect of spontaneous exercise on antioxidant capacity in rat muscles determined by electron spin resonance. | The effect of physical activity on antioxidant capacity in muscle remains unknown. This study investigated the effect of spontaneous exercise on antioxidant capacity in rat muscles determined by electron spin resonance (ESR), which is a technique for the direct detection of free radicals.</AbstractText>Ten-week-old mal... |
2,315,692 | [The use of the Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph in glaucoma prevention]. | Altogether 2436 eyes of 1218 healthy persons from the ophthalmological point of view were examined in the screening glaucoma action by means of Heidelberg Retinal Tomograph (HRT II). In 103 persons (8.5%), the result of the examination was at least in one sector of the optic nerve head graded as "suspicious" of "out of... |
2,315,693 | Loyalties in clinical research on drugs: the case of hormone replacement therapy. | In this study, physicians' loyalties toward patients and pharmaceutical companies in clinical drug research are explored, using Bourdieu's conceptual tools. The utilization of estrogen supplements in so-called hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for healthy menopausal and postmenopausal women is used as a case. For over ... |
2,315,694 | Detection of glaucomatous optic nerve head by using Heidelberg topographic maps. | To evaluate the capacity of a new topographic map analysis to detect abnormal optic discs from healthy ones in a new cohort of subjects.</AbstractText>Only one eye was chosen randomly from each subject included in the study. In total, 20 normal eyes with a normal visual field, an IOP of <22 mmHg and no history of gl... |
2,315,695 | Cancer-treatment-induced bone loss, part 1. | The pathophysiology, frequency, sequelae, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer-treatment-induced bone loss (CTIBL) are discussed.</AbstractText>CTIBL is a long-term complication associated with cancer therapies that can directly or indirectly affect bone metabolism. Although CTIBL can occur in any patient receiving a can... |
2,315,696 | Production of biomass (algae-bacteria) by using a mixture of settled swine and sewage as substrate. | This paper presents the use of a mixture of settled swine and sewage as substrate for biomass production, mainly constituted by microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and aerobic bacteria, growing outdoor at different dilution rates in a continuous mode. The experiments were carried out in 16-litre volume laboratory ponds opera... |
