Introduction: Uterine torsion is a rare gynecological emergency, defined as of the uterus greater than 45° around its axis. Case reports describe either in gravid or postmenopausal women, yet rarely non-gravid, premenopausal uterus. This report describes case uterine secondary to large pedunculated fibroid 34-year-old nulliparous woman.

Enterostatins [Val-Pro-Asp-Pro-Arg (VPDPR), Val-Pro-Gly-Pro-Arg (VPGPR), and Ala-Pro-Gly-Pro-Arg (APGPR)] are pentapeptides derived from the NH2-terminus of procolipase after tryptic cleavage and belong to the family of gut-brain peptides. Although enterostatin-like immunoreactivities exist in blood, brain, and gut, and exogenous enterostatins decrease fat appetite and insulin secretion in rats...

BACKGROUND Earlier data support the hypothesis that the relation between circulating insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) levels and breast cancer risk differs by menopausal status. The strong association of IGF-I with height in childhood and weak or no association between adult levels and adult height also suggest that IGF levels in young women may better reflect an exposure time period of imp...

Abstract Purpose of the Review The purpose was to systematically review evidence on prevalence palpitations by menopausal stage. Palpitations are a feeling missed, irregular, or exaggerated heart beats. Recent Findings Carefully delineated search, screening, and data extraction strategies resulted in five articles for review. Articles offered cross-sectional findings from symptom surveys countr...

Some studies have suggested that insulin-like growth factor (IGF) pathway is related to premenopausal breast density, one of the strongest known breast cancer risk factors. This study was designed specifically to test the hypothesis that higher levels of IGF-I and lower levels of IGF-binding protein (IGFBP)-3 are associated with high mammographic breast density among premenopausal but not among...

AIMS To investigate the relation between pulse amplitude (PA), pulsatile ocular blood flow (POBF), and sex and hormonal status. METHODS Measurements of POBF and PA were obtained by ocular blood flow tonography in 76 healthy subjects: 32 males and 44 females (age range 17-77 years). Females were divided into two age groups: group 1 (premenopausal) 17-42 years, and group 2 (post-menopausal) 55 ...
