Beta-Estradiol, Hemorheology and Women Health


Abstract

The best way to protect women's health is still a challenge. Although beta-estradiol protects women from thromboembolism and cardiovascular disease, the introduction of exogenous hormones causes the opposite effect. This article discusses how impaired hemorheology may be the cause of the paradoxical effects of hormones on women's health and why future treatments also should improve hemorheological parameters.

Health Challenges for Women during COVID-19

Image
The coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic is having potentially disastrous consequences for women’s and girls’ health around the world. Global health officials are struggling to keep the COVID-19 pandemic from wreaking havoc on women’s health. With domestic violence and maternal mortality expected to rise as women lose access to critical health treatments and social support. With children out of school, growing care needs for older people, and overburdened health services, unpaid care work has increased. Women make about 70% of the global health workforce and are more likely to work in front-line positions like nurses, midwives, and community health workers, in particular workers in the medical field. They also make up the majority of health-care workers, such as nurses and therapists. As such, they provide cleaning, laundry, and catering services are more likely to come into contact with the virus. All public health preparedness and response strategies for COVID-19 must account for both direc...

Cerebral Sinus Venous Thrombosis in Postpartum Period: A Case Report

Image
A 24-year-old woman at 41 weak gestational age underwent epidural anesthesia and normal vaginal delivery. After 7 days of delivery, patient referred to our hospital with severe headache, left paresthesia, and tonic-clonic seizure. During this period, the patient suffered a headache that was attributed to the epidural anesthetic. Radiologic assessments showed thrombosis at superior sagittal sinus. Cerebral Sinus Venous Thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare disease. The annual incidence is estimated to be about 5 per million, which is affected by age, sex, and areas. Pregnancy, postpartum, use of oral contraceptive and abortions are major risk factors. It is difficult to diagnose the disease from eclampsia during pregnancy and puerperium. Due to the high mortality rate of this disease, timely diagnosis and treatment should be considered. Treatment with anticoagulants should be done immediately.

Bone Marrow in Perspectives to Cure Breast Cancer

Image
  There are perspectives to cure breast cancer, and the main strategy in that way is the exact estimation of tumor dissemination at diagnosis. It is well proved that disseminated tumor cells in the bone marrow are the most important prognostic factor in operable breast cancer [1]. Its prognostic role become visible at late periods after surgery (sometimes, 25 years). Taking in mind that women with breast cancer are around 60-year-old, one may see that the relapses arises usually after 80. It appears in brain, lung and other distant organs as hematologic metastases, and unfortunately, nothing is possible to do in the most of those cases, so the main reasons of deaths in breast cancer are distant metastases. Hematological dissemination of breast cancer takes place at very early stages of the diseases, sometimes even at carcinoma in situ [2]. The main reservoir of tumor cells in the organism is bone marrow [3,4]. Those cells survive for a long time and then wake up and come to some ...
