It has been reported by us and by others that after chemotherapy for Hodgkin's disease the ovary contains fewer than 5 primordial and primary follicles per 5 x 5 mm biopsy section. In young women this is associated with premature menopause. We report here that before treatment the tissue contains 18--55 such follicles per biopsy section. When women took combination oral contraceptives throughou...
SA Fam Pract 2007;49(5): 32-35 CPD Article Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in women older than 50 years. Risk factors for CVD differ in some aspects from those in men.

In this study we examined natural menopause as a marker of women's health at the population level in India and in some major States. METHODS Data from the Indian District Level Household Survey (DLHS) carried out during 2007-2008 covering 643,...
BACKGROUND There is a lack of evidence regarding current screening practices for incipient ovarian failure in young women following gonadotoxic therapy and the most appropriate form of estrogen replacement. This study examined the (i) prevalence and management of ovarian failure and (ii) quality-of-life implications of early menopause (EM). METHODS A medical case note audit for 288 women with...

METHODS AND RESULTS Six oocyte donors were commenced on Gonal-F (150 IU) and two on Gonal-F 225 IU daily on day 4 together with cetrorelix 0.25 mg daily on day 8 until the day of administration of...
Although age-related ovarian failure in female mammals cannot be reversed, recent strategies have focused on improving reproductive capacity with age, and rapamycin is one such intervention that has shown a potential for preserving the ovarian follicle pool and preventing premature ovarian failure. However, the application is limited because of its detrimental effects on follicular development ...
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate whether a harmful cardiovascular risk profile accelerates menopause. BACKGROUND Women with an early menopause are at an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Although increased cardiovascular risk has been proposed as consequence of menopause, the alternative hypothesis, that increased premenopausal cardiovascular risk promotes early...
