Aging is a phase that is still relatively unknown compared to other life phases, although it has been increasingly studied in recent years. Female aging, characterized by entry into the climacteric, is a period comprising important hormonal, physical and neuropsychic changes. Often, neuropsychic symptoms are the first to appear, such as vasomotor disorders, headaches, anxiety, depression, fatig...

Introduction: Women’s health has a history marked by long process of building the SUS. The Comprehensive Assistance Program for Health (PAISM) was public policy implemented with aim incorporating services promotion, prevention, assistance and recovery women’s throughout Brazil. In this perspective, discussion about different phases woman’s life that are still neglected is inserted, such as clim...

Cantaloupe melons have a typical climacteric behaviour with ethylene playing a major role in the regulation of the ripening process and affecting the ripening rate. Crossing of Cantaloupe Charentais melon with a non-climacteric melon indicated that the climacteric character is genetically dominant and conferred by two duplicated loci only. However, other experiments made by crossing two non-cli...

Fruits can be divided into two groups according to the regulatory mechanisms underlying their ripening process. Climacteric fruit, such as tomato, apple, pear, and melon are characterized by a ripening-associated increase in respiration and in ethylene production, the phytohormone ethylene being the major trigger and coordinator of the ripening process. By contrast, nonclimacteric fruits, such ...

Different symptoms in Climacteric period, includes hot flash. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is common therapy for relief of menopausal symptoms but has possible contraindications and side effects. Recently Piascledine (combination of Avocado oil with Soybean oil) showed effects in reducing hot flash severity. Present study designed to compare the effects of HRT with Piascledine in treatment...

The cardinal climacteric symptoms of hot flushes and night sweats affect 24-93% of all women during the physiological transition from reproductive to post-reproductive life. Though efficacious, hormonal therapy and partial oestrogenic compounds are linked to a significant increase in breast cancer. Non-hormonal treatments are thus greatly appreciated. This systematic review of published hormona...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy, tolerability, and acceptance of a vaginal ring delivering the equivalent of 50 or 100 microg per day of estradiol (E2), compared with placebo, for relief of moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms and urogenital symptoms in postmenopausal women. METHODS Women with moderate to severe vasomotor symptoms (seven or more per day or 56 per week average) received 13 w...

Menopause is a period of cessation menstruation caused by decrease in the hormones estrogen and progesterone causing several symptoms that occur such as night sweats, insomnia, hot flashes, anxiety, fatigue, depression, memory disorders (senility), urogenital symptoms, urinary (dysuria), painful intercourse (dyspareunia). This causes discomfort climacteric women, to reduce discomfort, processed...

Time is a vehicle that can be used to represent aging-related processes and to index the amount of aging-related resources or burdens individuals have accumulated. Using data on cognitive (memory) performance from two Swedish studies of the elderly (OCTO and OCTO-TWIN), we illustrate how time-as-process and time-as-resources/burdens time metrics can be articulated and incorporated within a grow...
