Female sex hormones are of crucial importance for a woman’s life. Almost all women over 40 irrespective of their origin or social status begin to experience physical, psychologic, and emotional problems. Menopause hormone therapy (MHT) is considered the most effective option to improve various symptoms of climacteric syndrome. Non-hormonal treatment can be an alternative to MHT to relieve the symptoms of climacteric symptoms in pre- and postmenopausal women, in particular, in contraindications or reluctance to take MHT. The paper addresses recent findings on the effects of soy isoflavones, β-alanine, tryptophan, and vitamins on tissues and the quality of life of pre- and postmenopausal women. Mense® (JC «Akvion»), a biologically active supplement that contains phytoestrogens, vitamins, and amino acids, is characterized by a variety of protective effects in pre- and postmenopausal periods. This biologically active supplement can be recommended for women with the symptoms of climacteric syndrome as a pretreatment during the screening before prescribing MHT, a dietary modification in contraindications or refusal of MHT, and/or an effective component of the complex treatment for climacteric syndrome.KEYWORDS: perimenopause, postmenopause, non-hormonal treatment, menopause hormone therapy, vasomotor symptoms, phytoestrogens, vitamins.FOR CITATION: Saprykina L.V., Narimanova M.R., Ibragimova D.M.

Abstract Background: Diabetes mellitus has been associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. This association is, however, controversial, and not elucidated in Asia. This study aimed to determine the association between diabetes mellitus and breast cancer risk in Korean women.Methods: This retrospective study included subjects who underwent an ultrasound-localized needle-extracted biopsy to investigate questionable breast findings at the Eulji University Hospital breast clinic in Seoul, Korea, between 2000 and 2019. The medical records of the participants were reviewed to determine their age, diabetic status, and breast pathology findings. The participants were categorized into two groups, namely, the control group, that included those with benign breast disease; and, the breast cancer group. Logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the association between diabetes and breast cancer amongst pre- and post-menopausal participants.Results: A total of 1268 participants were included in this analysis. We found that diabetes was significantly associated with an increased odds of breast cancer (odds ratio [OR] 2.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.76 to 2.84). Additionally, postmenopausal participants (aged ≥ 50 years) showed increased odds for breast cancer (OR 4.32; 95% CI, 3.37 to 5.53). The association between diabetes and breast cancer was significant, after adjusting for age, in the postmenopausal group (adjusted OR [aOR] 1.60; 95% CI, 1.09 to 2.35), but was not significant in the premenopausal group (aOR 1.10; 95% CI, 0.76 to 1.60).Conclusion: Diabetes was associated with increased odds of breast cancer compared to benign breast disease in postmenopausal women in Korea.

Abstract ObjectiveTo address the factors involved in hospital admission and medical follow up in postmenopausal women with COVID-19 diagnosis.MethodsRetrospective observational study. Postmenopausal women aged between 40-70 years since September 2020 until June 2021 with COVID-19 diagnosis were included. Of the 300 women cohort, 50 were receiving menopause hormone therapy (MHT)Results 288 patients were analyzed. The mean age was 56.20 years (+/-6.06y SD). Age (p=0.030), High blood pressure (HBP) (p=0.002), respiratory disorders (p=0.003), depression (p=0.028) and fibromyalgia (p=0.030) were associated with a greater risk for hospital admission, while MHT was found as a protective factor (p=0.042). Being a health professional (p<0.001), HBP (p=0.029), respiratory disorders (p=0.022), vitamin D deficiency (p=0.010), depression (p=0.005) and fibromyalgia (p=0.001) were related with a longer follow up while MHT was related with a shorter one (p=0.010). Regression analysis showed that HBP and respiratory disorders acted as independent factors for hospital admission while MHT and fibromyalgia were for the length of follow up. ConclusionsMHT has a positive impact in postmenopausal women with SARS-CoV-2 infection. HBP and respiratory disorders are associated with a higher risk of hospital admission of these patients.
