Here is the revised list pertinent to the keyword ‘climacteric period’:
– The climacteric period refers to the midlife transition when fertility declines.
– Men may experience a reduction in their ability to reproduce during the climacteric period.
– Women lose their ability to reproduce once they reach menopause.
– Perimenopause is a period of transition in which a woman’s ovaries stop releasing eggs and the production of estrogen and progesterone decreases.
– Menopause is defined as 12 months without menstruation, and the average age is around 51.
– Symptoms of perimenopause and menopause are caused by decreased production of estrogen and progesterone.
– Symptoms include difficulty falling asleep, hot flashes, vaginal dryness and pain during intercourse, thinning of the vaginal wall, decreased bone mass leading to osteoporosis, depression, irritability, and weight gain.
– Concerns about hormone replacement therapy have led to a decrease in its prescription for menopausal women.
– Hormone replacement therapy has been associated with breast cancer, stroke, and the development of other conditions.
– Most women do not have severe enough symptoms to warrant estrogen or hormone replacement therapy.
– Other treatment options include lower doses of estrogen, frequent exams, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, eating soy, remaining sexually active, practicing relaxation techniques, and using water-based lubricants.
– Studies have found that menopausal symptoms vary greatly across countries, regions, and ethnic groups.
– White women were more likely to report symptoms of depression, irritability, forgetfulness, and headaches compared to other racial/ethnic groups.
– African American women experienced more night sweats, but this varied across research sites.
– Chinese and Japanese American women reported fewer menopausal symptoms compared to women in other groups.
– Cultural influences play a role in how menopause is experienced.
– Some cultures do not have specific words for menopausal symptoms, and women in these cultures may not experience certain symptoms.
– Women in different cultures have differing perceptions of menopause, with some viewing it as a loss and others as a liberating experience.
– In India, 94% of women welcomed menopause as they gained status and no longer had to follow menstrual restrictions.
– Erectile dysfunction (ED) becomes more common in middle adulthood.
– Intermittent ED affects as many as 50% of men between 40 and 70 years old.
– Approximately 30 million men in the United States experience chronic ED.
– Causes for ED include medical conditions such as diabetes, kidney disease, alcoholism, and atherosclerosis.
– Plaque build-up in the arteries can restrict blood flow and cause ED.
– Diseases account for 70% of chronic ED, while psychological factors account for 10%-20%.
– Prostate enlargement and deficient testosterone levels are common in middle adulthood.
– Low testosterone levels can cause symptoms such as low sex drive, ED, fatigue, loss of muscle, loss of body hair, or breast enlargement.
– Low testosterone is associated with medical conditions such as diabetes, obesity, high blood pressure, and testicular cancer.
– Supplemental testosterone effectiveness is mixed, and long term replacement therapy can increase the risk of prostate cancer, blood clots, heart attack, and stroke.
– Most men with low testosterone do not have related problems.
– Vaginal atrophy refers to thinning, drying, and inflammation of the vaginal walls
– It is caused by a decrease in estrogen levels in the body
– Vaginal atrophy occurs most often after menopause
– It can make intercourse painful and cause distressing urinary symptoms
– Doctors use the term “genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM)” to describe vaginal atrophy and its symptoms.
– Postmaturity refers to babies born after 42 weeks of pregnancy
– Very few babies are born at 42 weeks or later
– It is not known why some pregnancies last longer than others
– Getting an ultrasound in the first trimester is the most accurate way to determine the date of pregnancy
– Mothers who have had a post-term pregnancy before are more likely to experience postmaturity again
– Symptoms of postmaturity include dry, loose, peeling skin; overgrown nails; large amount of hair on the head; visible creases on palms and soles of feet; small amount of fat on the body; green, brown, or yellow coloring of the skin from baby passing stool in the womb; and being more alert and “wide-eyed”
– Diagnosis is based on the baby’s physical appearance and the length of the pregnancy
– Tests such as ultrasound, nonstress testing, and checking the amount of amniotic fluid may be done
– Treatment may involve starting labor early depending on the baby’s health and any complications, monitoring the baby’s heart rate during labor, and potentially requiring a cesarean delivery
– Special care for post-term babies may include checking for breathing problems and blood tests for low blood sugar.
– Ovulation is a part of the female menstrual cycle where an egg is released from an ovary and moves towards the uterus.
– Ovulation usually occurs once each month, about two weeks before the next period and can last from 16 to 32 hours.
– Ovulation does not occur if a woman is on the contraceptive pill, pregnant, or postmenopausal.
– It is possible to get pregnant in the five days before ovulation and on the day of ovulation, but the three days leading up to and including ovulation are the most likely for pregnancy.
– Signs of ovulation include slick and slippery vaginal discharge or mucus, abdominal pain on one side of the tummy, and premenstrual symptoms.
– Ovulation predictor kits can be used to predict fertile days by measuring the level of luteinising hormone (LH) in urine.
– Ovulation calculators or calendars can help determine fertile days and estimate due dates.
– Some women do not ovulate regularly, particularly in the first two to three years after periods start and during the lead-up to menopause.
– Conditions such as polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), amenorrhoea, and certain hormone conditions can cause irregular ovulation or no ovulation at all.
– Medical tests, such as blood tests for progesterone, can be conducted to check if a woman is ovulating.
– Tablets and injections can be used to increase hormones that control ovulation for women who do not ovulate regularly.
– There are various ways to improve chances of ovulation.
– A controlled trial of artificial surfactant containing lecithin was conducted to prevent respiratory distress syndrome.
– Lecithin was used in the treatment of tardive dyskinesia and showed beneficial effects.
– The combined use of lecithin and anticholinesterase treatment exhibited modest facilitation in memory in dementia patients.
– Lecithin has been studied as a potential therapeutic agent in Alzheimer’s disease, with some promising results.
– Lecithin co-administration with thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) was explored for its therapeutic potential in Alzheimer’s disease.
– Long-term administration of physostigmine and lecithin improved memory in Alzheimer’s disease patients.
– High-dose phosphatidylcholine (a component of lecithin) showed early positive results in a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in Alzheimer’s disease.
– Lecithin was found to attenuate alcohol-induced hepatic fibrosis.
– Lecithin treatment was studied in Friedreich’s ataxia and showed positive effects.
– Lecithin was used in the treatment of persistent tardive dyskinesia and showed promising results.

– Adenocarcinoma is a subtype of carcinoma, the most common type of cancer.
– It develops in organs or other internal structures.
– Adenocarcinomas overtake healthy tissue inside an organ and may spread to other parts of the body.
– Risk factors for adenocarcinoma vary depending on the specific cancer type.
– Smoking is a risk factor that applies to all adenocarcinomas.
– Lung adenocarcinoma is the primary cause of death from cancer in the US and smoking is the biggest risk factor.
– Other risk factors for lung adenocarcinoma include exposure to secondhand smoke, air pollution, and family history.

List:
– Septic shock is a life-threatening condition that occurs when blood pressure drops to a dangerously low level after an infection.
– The infection can be caused by any type of bacteria, as well as fungi and viruses.
– People with weakened immune systems are more at risk of septic shock.
– Treatment typically involves admission to an intensive care unit (ICU) for organ support and infection treatment.
– Treatment may include oxygen therapy, intravenous fluids, medication to increase blood flow, antibiotics, and in severe cases, surgery.
– Oxygen therapy can be administered through a mask, tube, or ventilator.
– Intravenous fluids help raise blood pressure by increasing fluid volume.
– Inotropic medicines stimulate the heart to increase blood flow to organs.
– Vasopressors narrow blood vessels to increase blood pressure and improve organ function.
– Antibiotics are used to treat associated bacterial infections, with the specific type depending on the infection and its location.
– Surgery may be necessary in severe cases to address the significant decrease in blood pressure and blood flow.
