1. 16. Bone health and cardiovascular risk in hypopituitary patients on complete hormone replacement, including GH

   Författare :Helene Holmer; Lund Medicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sekretion; diabetologi; Endokrinologi; Craniopharyngioma; insulin tolerance test; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; cardiovascular risk; growth hormone deficiency; fracture incidence; bone mineral density; growth hormone replacement;

   Sammanfattning : Growth hormone deficiency (GHD) is associated with decreased bone mineral density (BMD). Low BMD is correlated to increased fracture risk. There are no studies on fracture risk in GHD patients on GH therapy and no studies on BMD in adults with childhood onset (CO) craniopharyngioma (CP) on GH therapy. LÄS MER

3. 17. Cardiovascular mortality and morbidity in hypopituitary patients and metabolic effects of growth hormone treatment

   Författare :Birgitta Bulow; Lund Medicin; []
   Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; glucose metabolism; growth hormone replacement; growth hormone deficiency; long-term survival; craniopharyngioma; cardiovascular risk factors; Hypopituitarism; cardiovascular mortality; Endocrinology; secreting systems; diabetology; Endokrinologi; sekretion; diabetologi;

   Sammanfattning : Premature atherosclerosis, cardiovascular risk factors and increased cardiovascular mortality have been shown in patients with hypopituitarism on conventional hormone treatment, but without growth hormone (GH) replacement. The aims of paper I-III were to investigate separately the risks for cerebrovascular and cardiac mortality as well as the incidence of cardiovascular disease in patients with hypopituitarism and to assess the long-term prognosis for patients with craniopharyngioma.

4. 18. Hormone therapy and the breast : aspects on proliferation, apoptosis and mammographic density

   Författare :Peter Conner; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Breast cell proliferation; fine needle aspiration cytology; menopause; hormone replacement therapy; tibolone; mammographic breast density; continuous combined hormone therapy; p53; apoptosis; cynomolgus macaques.;

   Sammanfattning : Breast cancer is the major malignancy among women in the western world. The breast is clearly a target organ for sex steroid hormones and hormonal treatments have been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. Still, basic knowledge as to how sex steroids influence the normal breast is remarkably poor. LÄS MER

5. 19. Vascular mechanical properties and endothelial function with special reference to pregnancy and hormonal influences

   Sammanfattning : Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the leading causes of mortality and morbidity. Early recognition of vascular changes, both structural and functional, may help to identify individuals at risk for CVD. LÄS MER

7. 20. Women's knowledge, attitudes, and management of the menopausal transition

   Sammanfattning : Introduction: Hormone therapy (HT) has been considered as a safe treatment for menopausal symptoms. Use of HT increased dramatically in the 1980s and 1990s. Results from large randomized clinical trials (RCT) could, around the turn of the century, however not find evidence for long-term benefits with HT. LÄS MER
