A multicenter, randomized study to select the minimum effective dose of estetrol (E4) in postmenopausal women (E4Relief) on vasomotor symptoms
Creator: Mithra Pharmaceuticals (sponsor)
Duration: 4:29
This video summarizes the results of a study to select the minimum effective dose of estetrol (E4) for the treatment of postmenopausal women with vasomotor symptoms (VMS, hot flushes). The reduction in frequency and severity of VMS was most pronounced for 15 mg E4, and was significant at week 4 and 12. E4 was well tolerated and there were no unexpected adverse events. It was concluded that oral E4 15 mg is the minimum effective daily oral dose for treatment of VMS.

Assessing the therapeutic value of walking exercise programs for menopausal women via a scoping review.
Creator: Beate Sydora
Duration: 5:01
The video highlights the significance of assessing the therapeutic value of walking exercise programs for women in menopause transition and postmenopausal. Though the health benefits of exercise are well known, menopausal women are often reluctant to exercise. Walking represents fewer barriers for women in midlife as it is inexpensive, easily accessible, and has low risk of injury. Sustained walking could serve as an alternative to hormone therapy or as a beneficial addition to hormone therapy or pharmaceutical drugs. The video hints to the findings of the scoping review designed to explore the current literature on the therapeutic effect of walking programs on menopause-related symptoms and risk factors. Limitations are discussed as well as suggestions for future research.

Introduction to the Role of Sex Steroid Hormones in Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Creator: Christina Dancz, MD
Duration: 2:54
In this video abstract, Dr. Christina Dancz from the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) comments on the role of sex steroid hormones in pelvic organ prolapse. More specifically, she introduces the viewer to the effects of estrogen and progestin on ligament strength, tissue remodeling, the extracellular matrix, and clinical presentation. Taken altogether, these findings suggest that there may be a role for the exogenous administration of hormones in the prevention of pelvic organ prolapse. This topic is more fully explored in our published review in Menopause.

“Associations of Pituitary-Ovarian Hormones and White Matter Hyperintensities in Recently Menopausal Women using Hormone Therapy.”
Creator: No sponsor
Created by Mayo Clinic
Duration: 4:22
The video reviews the findings from our paper entitled “Associations of Pituitary-Ovarian Hormones and White Matter Hyperintensities in Recently Menopausal Women using Hormone Therapy.” In recently menopausal women participating in the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention Study (KEEPS), greater increases in estrone associated with smaller increases in WMH volume in both the transdermal estradiol and oral conjugated equine estrogen groups. In addition, greater decreases in FSH associated with smaller increases in WMH volume over time but only in women using the transdermal estrogen. Our results demonstrate that the type of hormone therapy used during menopause contributes to different levels of circulating hormones which then may have different impact on brain structure during treatment.

Unique and Enduring Impact of Adverse Childhood Adversity on Executive Function After RRSO

C. Neill Epperson, MD, Chair and Robert Freedman Endowed Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado-Anschutz Medical Campus highlights the significance of their study focusing on subjective and objective executive function difficulties after surgical menopause. While negative mood states (anxiety/depression) are common among individuals who endorse adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), these symptoms did not fully explain the relationship between ACEs and subjective executive function complaints or performance on working memory and sustained attention tasks. These data suggest that ACEs exert an enduring negative impact on cognition among women who experience new-onset executive function complaints after RRSO.

Creator: Alison Shea
Duration: 5:07
The menopause transition is a vulnerable time for mental health and it is important to better understand the risk factors for depression during this time. This study using baseline data from the Canadian Longitudinal Study on Aging shows that premature menopause and the use of hormone therapy, as well as low education, low household income, living alone, being nulliparous, and having low social support are associated with current depression measured using the Center for Epidemiologic studies Short Depression Scale.

Cervicovaginal lavage fluid zinc level as a marker of vaginal atrophy
Creator: Bence Kozma MD PhD / No Sponsor
Duration: 3:15
Many studies suggest that zinc levels may correlate with some vaginal conditions, but the role in the diagnosis of Genitourinary syndrome of Menopause or Vulvovaginal Atrophy is not known. Cervicovaginal lavage has been widely used to investigate changes in the vagina. In our prospective cohort study the multivariate regression model revealed a significant association between vaginal atrophy and cervicovaginal lavage zinc levels. Measuring the amount of zinc in cervicovaginal lavage could aid in the diagnosis of Genitourinary syndrome of Menopause. Zinc levels of cervicovaginal lavage could be used as a new marker of vaginal atrophy.

Sleep disturbances are among the important problems that involve women after menopause.

In this study with a large sample size on the Canadian population, we studied different types of sleep disorders. Our findings revealed that menopause is associated with sleep onset insomnia disorder and obstructive sleep apnea. But we were not able to find an association between menopause and sleep maintenance insomnia disorder, daytime somnolence, rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder and restless leg syndrome.

The risks and benefits of hormone therapy in perimenopausal women have been extensively studied. Less is known about hormone therapy in breast or gynecologic cancer survivors and risk of cancer recurrence. We reviewed the available data to determine whether hormone therapy is safe for breast, ovarian, endometrial, and cervical cancer survivors. We also present a mechanism of reducing breast cancer incidence through estrogen-driven apoptosis pathways, and discuss the role of progestins in the growth of breast cancer stem cells. These concepts are a foundation for future research into the role of hormone replacement in treatment and prevention of breast cancer.

- The exercise guidelines recommend 150 minutes/week of combined training (CT), aerobic and resistance exercises, for improvements in body composition (BC), muscle strength (MS) and physical function (PF). However, the lack of time and access to physical training facilities are commons barriers for people not to comply with the exercise guidelines.

- The high-intensity interval training (60 minutes/week - HIIT) is an exercise strategy to overcome the time commitment problem. However, there is no evidence regarding the HIIT effects on MS and PF.

- This study compared the effects of HIIT with CT on PF, BC and MS in obese postmenopausal women.

This is a phase 3 pivotal trial of ospemifene versus placebo in women in menopause with moderate to severe vaginal dryness, a symptom of GSM. On physical examination, such women commonly have vulvar, vestibular and vaginal atrophy. This study, for the first time, utilized vulvar vestibular photography to objectively document changes in genital health. There were no changes noted in photography on placebo, however active therapy with a SERM resulted in regrowth of labia minora, normalization of the urethral gland prominence, resolution of the pallor and erythema of the vestibule and visualization of vestibular moisture. Visual assessment of genital health in such patients should be utilized in future trials.
