Article Synopsis
- Excessive androgen levels in postmenopausal women are often due to hormonal imbalances, primarily a rapid decline in estrogen and a slower decrease in androgens, alongside lower levels of sex hormone-binding globulin.
- *Hyperandrogenism poses risks such as increased cardiovascular issues, gynecological cancers, and negative effects on women's emotional health, making proper evaluation essential for treatment.
- *Common symptoms women may experience include facial hair growth and hair loss; sudden onset or severe symptoms warrant further investigation for potential tumors, with diagnosis assisted by medical history, testosterone level testing, and imaging studies.
Objective: To evaluate the association between type of menopause (spontaneous or surgical) and mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Study Design: This study was a cross-sectional, observational, and sub-analytical investigation conducted within gynecological consultations across nine Latin American countries.
Method: We assessed sociodemographic, clinical, and anthropometric data, family history of dementia, and the presence of MCI using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) tool.
Objective: To evaluate the association between menopausal symptoms and cognitive decline in postmenopausal women.
Methods: This was a subanalysis of a cross-sectional, observational study conducted among women attending gynecological consultations across nine Latin American countries. The survey involved late postmenopausal women who were asked to complete a general questionnaire and the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) to assess menopausal symptoms, with the Montreal Cognitive Assessment used to evaluate cognitive function as an outcome.
Objectives: Evaluate the effect of intravenous (IV) methadone versus intrathecal morphine (ITM) within an Enhanced Recovery After Cardiac Surgery (ERACS) pathway on postoperative pain and outcomes (length of hospital stay and postoperative complications) after cardiac surgery.
Design: Retrospective cohort study.
Setting: Two tertiary academic medical institutions within the same health system.
Objective: Musculoskeletal disorders frequently affect postmenopausal women. This study aims to compare muscle disorders between women according to the type of experienced menopause: premature (PM) or normal age of menopause (NAM).
Methods: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in nine Latin American countries in which late postmenopausal women (55 to 70 years) were surveyed with a general questionnaire, the Menopause Rating Scale (MRS: item #4 exploring musculoskeletal discomfort), and strength, assistance with walking, rising from a chair, climbing stairs, and falling questionnaire (risk of sarcopenia).
