The article, “Hot flashes in menopause may have genetic links”, by Catharine Paddock is relevant to our class because it addresses an important topic of women’s biology and period of time in women life. When we discussed the topic of menopause we went over the perimenopause which is the signs of women experiencing menopause like headaches. Similarly in the article Paddock explained the symptoms of hot flash and night sweats women commonly expressed during or after menopause. We learned in class about the symptoms but we did not explore further into it to understand why this occurs in the women’s biology. The most relevant idea from this article is the finding Paddock concluded, that there might be an association between menopause and genes,
The Yadkin, Catawba, and Cape Fear River heavily impact North Carolina’s economy. It provides hundreds of millions of dollars to North Carolina’s economy. They also provide thousands of jobs to North Carolinas citizens, improving the unemployment rate. The Yadkin River is known for having the Alcoa hydroelectric dams and pumping millions of dollars into investor’s wallets all over the world. Then, the Cape Fear provides many jobs in tourism and gains lots of money from fishing. Lastly, the Catawba River provided power and water to many business in the area.
Hey, hope all is well. The catnip is ready it came to about 3/4's of an ounce. As far as getting it to you there are several options.
SALISBURY, N.C—The Catawba students really showed their talent this weekend. Not only did the Catawba Indians win both football and volleyball, but the music department also showed what they are made of. One of the performers was the Catawba soccer player and popular music major Eli Womble, with great performance.
For women growth of facial hair, male pattern baldness, changes in menstrual cycle, and deepend voice.
Hot flashes are one of the many side effects of cancer treatment. A hot flash is defined as “a subjective sensation of heat that is associated with objective signs of cutaneous vasodilation and a subsequent drop in core temperature” (Kaplan, Mahon, Cope, Keating, Hill & Jacobson, 2011). Another description of a hot flash is a “sudden sensation of intense warmth that begins in the chest region and rises to the neck and face” (Loprinzi, Barton & Rhodes, 2001). Hot flashes are difficult to measure because they are a subjective experience. Electronic monitoring devices have been used to assess skin temperature and objectively measure hot flashes (Carpenter, 2005). Hot flashes cause discomfort and can affect a patient’s quality of life, especially when associated with night sweats, sleep disruption, and mood swings (Loprinzi, Barton & Rhodes, 2001).
First, it has been estimated that approximately 25 million American men are currently going through male menopause and researchers expect that number to double by the year 2020. (6) However this hypothesized statistic does not seem realistic. Such a statement implies that more men will go through the change in the future than are going through it today. How can the number of men afflicted double? It is not contagious, and there is no biological proof that such a gene exists that may help yield the affects of male menopause.

Due to an effect of gabapentin at the level of hypothalamus to regulate the temperature, it can also be used as an effective non-hormonal therapy for hot flashes, a bothersome problem of menopause. It is shown to be more efficacy if used in patients with hot flashes that associated with sleep interference [17].

Menopause can take women by surprise, leaving them to endure uncomfortable symptoms like fatigue, mood swings, dizziness, difficulty concentrating, and hot flashes. Dr. William M. Jamieson M.D. in Cincinnati, OH wants his patients to know about every available solution. The trusted gynecologist offers hysteroscopic surgery, women’s health services, fertility treatment, and gynecological surgery. He has taken a special interest in using bio-identical hormone replacement therapy to help women find relief from the negative effects of menopause.
Menopause happens due to the decrease of estrogen in the female body which then leads to the
The risk for women developing heart disease involves contributing factors that can be associated with age, weight, and diet. After menopause women are more likely to develop heart conditions that
In this article, researchers wanted to assess the effects of estrogen and progesterone treatment on visual and verbal cognitive function in postmenopausal women. In the abstract, researchers identified estrogen, progesterone, and synthetic progestin as the hormones in question. However, researchers did not identify the ultimate reason why these hormones were important to women who experienced menopause. In fact, the researchers did not define postmenopausal women, the symptoms they experience, or the need for hormone treatment. This presents a minor flaw; without detailing the importance of the study, it gives off the perception that the researchers were only researching a particular topic they were interested in, comparing studies
Recently she isn’t having any speech therapy, she can remember things much better and she only go to physical therapy once a week, so it is very interesting to know that she is getting much better and improving every day which is a positive result toward her health. Based on the article “Menopause, Local Biologies, and Cultures of Aging.” by Lock and Kaufert, said, “Researchers have described women as facing a dramatic increase in the risk of heart disease, osteoporosis, stroke, and Alzheimer’s, all as the result of the impact of changing hormone levels, particularly the decline in estrogen.” Which mean, women are subjective in biological changes during their sage of life. It is very difficult to see those types of symptoms occurring unless
Nevertheless, HRT, at present, is considered as the most successful treatment for women suffering from menopausal
