Androgens are known to play a pivotal role in cardiovascular function. However, a definitive explanation as to how their impact differs between genders is yet to be provided. In this review, the existing studies on the link between androgens and cardiovascular disease have been analysed, with a particular focus on the gender-specific differences. Several studies agree that both direct and indirect effects of testosterone on cardiovascular function show a gender-related dimorphism. Consistently, men and women display different responses to androgen supplementation treatment...

REVIEW

The increasing prevalence of diabetes in combination with an aging population and increasing female longevity means that it is important to understand the effects of diabetes on women's health. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes influence health outcomes throughout the life-course. This review article provides a summary of sex differences in diabetes epidemiology and covers specific aspects of the life-course in women including: the menarche, pregnancy and the menopause. It also discusses the associations with other conditions: cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and cancer...

REVIEW
Eef Hogervorst
In this paper we describe potential reasons for the discrepancies between data from basic sciences and observational studies and those of large treatment studies investigating the association between brain function and sex steroids. Observational studies which often showed positive associations between hormone use and cognition can be affected by 'recall bias' and 'healthy user bias', while outcomes of treatment studies were hypothesized to be modified by age at treatment, age at or type of menopause, health status, addition of a progestogen or type of estrogen treatment...

JOURNAL ARTICLE

Genital lichen sclerosus (LS) is usually managed with potent topical corticosteroids. There is a small (<5%) increased risk of skin cancer and long-term follow-up is recommended. We audited patients discharged to the care of their general practitioner (GP) from our regional vulval clinic. Only 29% had seen their GP in the last 12 months; 53% self-examined; 48% were unaware of the need to report abnormalities immediately; 24.4% were unaware of the recommended duration of use of their 30 g tube of steroid and only 66...

OBJECTIVE: Treating the effects of menopause in women with history of oestrogen-dependent cancers presents a clinical dilemma. Endocrine adjuvant agents like tamoxifen and other cancer treatments, often induce premature menopause. Vasomotor, psychological and somatic symptoms may be more severe in these women. The risk of hormone therapy (HT) and its efficacy must be balanced. Currently, there are no consensus guidelines for the management of these patients. STUDY DESIGN: This is a retrospective study carried out between 10/01/2011 and 27/01/2012 in a tertiary referral menopausal clinic...

As more women survive reproductive cancers, menopausal symptoms following treatment can be a significant problem affecting quality of life and wellbeing. Hormone replacement therapy may or may not be contraindicated. Women often receive conflicting information about their management from different specialists. The aim of this study, based in a regional menopause clinic, was to examine referral patterns and symptom profiles of women with cancer or at high risk of cancer; to identify areas of need where a more integrated approach to management might be required; and to reach a local consensus across disciplines involved in the care of these women regarding prescribing of hormonal therapies...

REVIEW
Dianna Reed
A qualitative study was undertaken via a questionnaire in a specialist menopause clinic in Dundee, to assess patient views of the service, their opinion of media coverage of hormone replacement therapy and whether their visit helped them reach an informed decision about using it. All women felt that they were given enough information and their concerns were addressed. Only 11% (3/28) of the women sampled viewed media coverage in a positive light.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate knowledge of vaginal atrophy among postmenopausal women (aged 55-65 years), using the Vaginal Health: Insights, Views & Attitudes (VIVA) survey. METHODS: An independent research organization conducted a quantitative Internet-based survey, to obtain information from 3520 women who were living in the UK, the USA, Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Finland or Norway. Findings from Canada are presented (n = 500). RESULTS: Almost half of Canadian respondents had experienced vaginal discomfort since they had stopped menstruating, most commonly (88%) vaginal dryness; over half (56%) reported having experienced symptoms for three years or longer...

REVIEW
K Manley, K Edey, J Braybrooke, J Murdoch
Endometrial cancer is the fourth most common female cancer in the UK and the most common gynaecological cancer. Quality of life and symptom control needs to be considered in women who enter a surgically induced menopause. Hormone replacement in this population has been controversial to date. The current evidence regarding the safety of estrogen only and combined hormone replacement therapy is discussed in this review. The use of topical vaginal therapies, alternate therapies and the current data regarding testosterone use for symptom control is also outlined...
