BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate clinical efficacy and safety of Remifemin on peri-menopausal symptoms in endometriosis patients with a post-operative GnRH-a therapy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We treated 116 women who had endometriosis with either Remifemin (n=56) 20 mg bid po or Tibolone (n=60) 2.5 mg qd po for 12 weeks after GnRH-a injection. The efficacy was evaluated by Kupp...

Due to the limitations of flash memory, such as asymmetric I/O latencies and not-inplace update, two kinds of buffer replacement algorithms exist, namely page-clustered policy and group-clustered policy. The former organizes pages in the page-level, which makes it easy to deal with hot pages, but shows a bad performance when the buffer size is big enough. The latter organizes pages in the group...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether a low dose of P delivered together with E(2) from a vaginal ring on a continuous schedule can prevent endometrial proliferation and yield a bleeding pattern dominated by amenorrhea. DESIGN Longitudinal clinical study. SETTING Three university hospitals. PATIENT(S) Fifty-five women 45 to 75 years of age, not hysterectomized, with E(2) levels of <20 pg/mL and ...

With the increased sophistication and use of heated gas, fire, and explosion simulations in computer graphics applications, there is a corresponding impetus to improve the visual realism in the rendering of such simulated phenomena. In visualizing these turbulent fluids, an appropriate incorporation of their incandescent properties into the rendering significantly enhances the realism of visual...

PURPOSE Most breast cancer survivors experience hot flashes; many use complementary or alternative remedies for these symptoms. We undertook a randomized clinical trial of black cohosh, a widely used herbal remedy for menopausal symptoms, among breast cancer patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients diagnosed with breast cancer who had completed their primary treatment were randomly assigned to...

The silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS) device has been considering very promising candidate for future nonvolatile flash memory in terms of process compatibility with "oon"itio*f Compleirentary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology, scalability, pnocess, prograrn/erase voltage, simplicity, and 2-bitlcell storage. To increase storage capacity_of a flash mernory, 2-bitlcell operati...

OBJECTIVE To analyse brachial artery flux parameters in postmenopausal women before and after hot flush. MATERIAL AND METHODS Two groups of postmenopausal women were studied: Group I, without vasomotor symptoms (n = 10) and Group II, with vasomotor symptoms (n = 10). In all them a brachial artery Doppler ultrasound was done, measuring before and after hyperaemic stimulus of the arterial diame...
