چکیده
The menopause coincides with the appearance of many of the common arthritic conditions and with the lessening of severity of others such as SLE. The hormonal changes that occur may modulate these diseases. Thus, hormonal manipulation may have either beneficial or detrimental effects on the incidence and activity of a number of common joint diseases. We review the evidence regarding the effect of the menopause and oestrogen replacement therapy on the pathogenesis, incidence and prevalence and disease activity of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and carpal tunnel syndrome. © 2000 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd.

Metabolic activations or inactivations of estrogens, progesterone and androgens are important steps towards the understanding of the physiological and the pathological effects of these hormones in the female organism. Analysis of the tissue specific metabolic pathways of sex steroids will result in a better understanding of successful hormone replacement therapy on the one hand and of the occur...

Properties of the linear eigenvalue problem associated to a hyperbolic non-linear Schrödinger equation are reviewed. The instability band of a deep-water soliton is shown to merge to the continuous spectrum of a linear Schrödinger operator. A new analytical approximation of the instability growth near a threshold is derived by means of a bifurcation theory of weakly localized wave functions. © ...

A direct method for solving variational problems using Legendre wavelets is presented. An operational matrix of integration is first introduced and is utilized to reduce a variational problem to the solution of algebraic equations. Illustrative examples are included to demonstrate the validity and applicability of the technique. © 2000 IMACS. Published by Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, we develop a finite element model for a cable suspended in water. Global existence and uniqueness of solutions of the truncated system is shown for a slightly simplified equation describing the motion of a cable having negligible added mass and supported by fixed end-points. Based on this, along with well known results on local existence and uniqueness of solutions for symmetriza...
