The SLC2A9 gene, that encodes a renal uric acid reuptake transporter, has genetic variants that explain ∼3% of variance in urate levels. There are previous reports of non-additive interaction between SLC2A9 genotype and environmental factors which influence urate control. Therefore, our aim was to further investigate the general phenomenon that such non-additive interactions contribute to genot...

Title: Metabolic alteration of urinary steroids in pre-and post-menopausal women, and men with papillary thyroid carcinoma

BACKGROUND Several studies have found that depressed, post-menopausal females may respond differently to antidepressants compared to pre-menopausal females. The atypical antipsychotic lurasidone, whose mechanism of action differs from SSRIs and other standard antidepressants, was shown in a 6-week randomized, flexible-dose, placebo-controlled study (n=209), to be effective in treating major dep...

AIMS The findings are limited about the long-term effects of treatment with vaginal cones in women with stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effects of vaginal cones and pelvic floor muscle training in post-menopausal women with SUI.

Vulvar pruritus is a common symptom in post-menopausal women and treatment is easy if the diagnosis is duly recognized. The purpose of this study is to show the importance of colposcopic examination and directed biopsies in 27 post-menopausal women with pruritus. Biopsy sites were selected by colposcopy. The prevalence of vulvar pruritus, vulvar pathologies, vulvar dystrophies and vulvar intrae...
