The 2023 Practitioner's Toolkit for Managing Menopause.

Objective: The Practitioner's Toolkit for Managing the Menopause, developed in 2014, provided an accessible desk-top tool for health-care practitioners caring for women at midlife.

The impact of endometriosis on work ability in young Australian women.

Background: Whereas symptomatic endometriosis may affect work performance, the impact of endometriosis in the general community is not known.

Aims: The associations between endometriosis and each of sick leave and work ability, were investigated in a large sample of non-healthcare seeking women.

Materials And Methods: This community-based, cross-sectional study recruited 6986 women, aged 18-39 years, from three eastern states of Australia between 11 November 2016 and 21 July 2017.

Endogenous dehydroepiandrosterone and depression in postmenopausal women: a systematic review of observational studies.

Importance: The associations between endogenous dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and DHEA sulfate (DHEAS), and depression in older women are uncertain. However, DHEA supplements are widely available over the counter in some countries, and some people may be taking DHEA with the hope of positive mood effects.

Objective: This systematic review aimed to investigate the association between endogenous DHEA/DHEAS blood concentrations and depression/depressive symptoms in community-dwelling postmenopausal women.

Endogenous testosterone concentrations and muscle mass, strength and performance in women, a systematic review of observational studies.

Objective: To explore the associations between endogenous testosterone blood concentrations and muscle mass, strength and performance in community dwelling women. DESIGN, PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS: Online databases, including Ovid MEDLINE, EMBASE and Web of Science, were searched for observational studies, with at least 100 female participants, reporting associations between endogenous testosterone blood concentrations and muscle mass, strength and performance. The findings were synthesized in a narrative review.
