Background And Aims: Benign ovarian neoplasms are common in the pediatric population. In young adult women, oophorectomy has been shown to negatively impact long-term ovarian endocrine function. Recently, ovarian-sparing surgery (OSS) has been proposed as it offers similar results to oophorectomy in terms of recurrence rates.

Background: Virtually all adults with Down Syndrome(DS) show Alzheimer's disease(AD)-related pathologic change by the age of 40 years. While sex differences in Aβ-dependent tauopathy are apparent during early sporadic AD, sex differences in the DS population remain under-investigated. Moreover, menopause onset occurs earlier in the DS population (45 years), and it remains unknown whether menopause status and hormone therapy(HT) exposure influences Aβ-dependent tauopathy in women with DS.

Background: Women's reproductive experiences may enact reorganization of physiological systems with lifelong health consequences. We test the hypothesis that women's history of breastfeeding will be positively associated with neurocognitive benefits in post-menopausal women. This hypothesis is justified by breastfeeding's well-established benefits for mothers' glucose homeostasis, beta-cell function, adipose tissue mobilization, and lipid metabolism, which would plausibly be beneficial for later-life brain health.

A link between the menopause transition (MT), sex hormones, and NTproBNP has been suggested, though, no studies have formally examined how NTproBNP changes over the MT. In addition of being a marker of cardiac health, studies suggest NTproBNP to be related to cognitive performance, yet those studies have not considered the MT.
