Menopause is the process of permanent cessation of menstrual periods in women.1 For the majority of women, menopause begins in the early fifties, although some women experience menopause earlier due to surgery, chemotherapy or other causes. The onset of menopause is usually heralded by the slowing and eventual cessation of menses, as well as other physical and mental symptoms which vary widely ...

Understanding spatiotemporal rainfall patterns in mountainous areas is of great importance for prevention of natural disasters such as flash floods and landslides. There is little knowledge about rainfall variability over historically underobserved complex terrains, however, and especially about the variations of hourly rainfall. In this study, the spatiotemporal variations of hourly rainfall i...

Editorial The impact of stopping smoking on hot flushes in ladies matured 45–54 years old at benchmark took after for a long time was inspected by Smith and his partners1 in a longitudinal investigation distributed as of late. A companion investigation of hot flushes among ladies 45–54 years old was directed beginning in 2006 among inhabitants of Baltimore and its encompassing areas. Menopausal...

Farrell recently published an interesting review paper on imaging human brain responses during heating and cooling. Here, he discussed our work on imaging such responses during menopausal hot flashes (HFs). Hot flashes are triggered by small elevations in core body temperature acting within a greatly reduced interthreshold zone in symptomatic menopausal women. This reduction is due to estrogen ...

This study examined the differences in psychophysiological responses during mental task performance between women with (Group S) and without (Group A) menopausal hot flashes. Twelve women who reported experiencing daily moderate or severe menopausal hot flashes (Group S) and twelve women who reported having no hot flashes (Group A) participated in a mental arithmetic (Task) and a control (Non-t...

Hot data is very important for optimizing modern computer systems. For example, the identified hot data can be employed to extend the lifespan of flash memory. However, it is very challenging to effectively identify hot data with low memory consumption and low runtime overhead. This paper proposes a Hot Data Catcher (HDCat) which can effectively identify hot data in large-scale I/O streams by l...

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES To critically evaluate and synthesize intervention research related to hot flashes in the context of cancer and to identify implications and future directions for policy, research, and practice. DATA SOURCES Published, peer-reviewed articles and textbooks; editorials; and computerized databases. DATA SYNTHESIS Although a variety of pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treat...

Hot flashes are one of the most common and distressing symptoms associated with menopause, occurring in more than 75% of postmenopausal women. They are especially problematic in breast cancer patients since some breast cancer therapies can induce hot flashes. For mild hot flashes, it is proposed that behavioral modifications are the first step in management. Hormonal therapies, including estrog...

OBJECTIVE This study aimed to establish the sternal skin conductance level (SCL) increase that would optimally detect hot flashes among breast cancer patients. METHODS Fifty-six women who had completed a similar treatment protocol for a first diagnosis of breast cancer within the previous 3 months wore an ambulatory sternal skin conductance device for one home-based daytime recording of hot f...
