Menopause and Hormone Replacement Therapy: Types, Effects, and More

Posted: Published on November 15th, 2013

In the past, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) was widely recommended for the treatment of menopause and menopausal symptoms, as well as for the prevention of osteoporosis and heart disease. A large study known as the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) shed new light on how HRT is viewed. Hormone replacement therapy is used to supplement the body with either estrogen alone or estrogen and progesterone in combination during and after menopause. Estrogen and progesterone are hormones that are produced by a woman's ovaries. When the ovaries no longer produce adequate amounts of these hormones (as in menopause), HRT can be given to supplement the body with adequate levels of estrogen and progesterone. Estrogen and progesterone together thicken the lining of the uterus, preparing it for the possible implantation of a fertilized egg. Estrogen also influences how the body uses calcium, an important mineral in the building of bones, and helps maintain healthy levels of cholesterol in the blood. Estrogen also keeps the vagina healthy. As menopause nears, the ovaries reduce most of their production of these hormones. Lowered or fluctuating estrogen levels may cause menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, and medical conditions such as osteoporosis. Hormone therapy helps to replenish … Continue reading →

Michigan becomes leader in stem cell research | The Detroit News

Posted: Published on November 15th, 2013

Soon after Kate Jones married, she and her husband wanted to start their family. But since the Michigan woman lives with an inherited genetic condition that she didnt want to pass onto her children, Jones who asked that her real name not be revealed used reproductive technologies to conceive a child. She wanted her children to be free of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a nerve disorder that affects muscles and leads to loss of balance. Jones created several embryos with her husband through in vitro fertilization. Tests showed that half of the embryos had the gene linked to her disease. A doctor chose two of the embryos without the genetic mutation and implanted them in Jones, and now she and her husband have a healthy 2-year-old daughter. Left over were five embryos with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease that the couple donated to stem cell researchers at the University of Michigan. With those embryos, U-M created its first disease-specific embryonic stem cell line and submitted it to the federal stem cell registry. Now, scientists in Wisconsin are using it to find better treatments for Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. I believe strongly that stem cell research could ultimately cure many terrible diseases that leave people suffering and struggling … Continue reading →

The Pico Method – University of Warwick

Posted: Published on November 15th, 2013

What is the PICO method? PICO is a method of putting together a search strategy that allows you to take a more evidence based approach to your literature searching when you are searching bibliographic databases like Medline (OVID), PubMed and Embase. PICO stands for: Patient/Population Who or What? Intervention How? Comparison What is the main alternative? (If appropriate) Outcome What are you trying to accomplish, measure, improve, effect? A preganant woman with type 2 diabetes is concerned about the effect her current treatment may have on her pregnancy and unborn child. The GP has heard that insulin pump therapy may be a more succesful treatment than conventional insulin therapy. However, the GP wants to get his facts right, so searches the literature. The question he wants to answer is: Are insulin pumps more effective than conventional therapies in managing type 2 diabetes in pregnant women?
