Menopause marks the end of female reproductive capacity. It is defined as the point after cessation of the menstrual cycle for 12 months (Nursat et al., 2008).
Bisphosphonates are the first line treatment options in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis among elderly women or men....
Dobutamine is indicated for adults who require a positive inotropic support in the treatment of cardiac decompensation due to depressed contractility, caused by an organic heart disease or by cardiac surgery. Note: In cardiogenic shock characterised by heart failure with severe hypotension and in case of septic shock dobutamine may be useful if added to vasoconstrictors such as noradrenaline preferentially or dopamine in case of disturbed ventricular function, raised filling pressure of the ventricles and raised systemic resistance. Dobutamine may also be used for detection of myocardial ischaemia and of viable myocardium within the scope of an echocardiographic examination (dobutamine stress echocardiography), if patients cannot undergo a period of exercise or if the exercise yields no information of value. Paediatric population Dobutamine is indicated in all paediatric age groups (from neonates to 18 years of age) as inotropic support in low cardiac output hypoperfusion states resulting from decompensated heart failure, following cardiac surgery, cardiomyopathies and in cardiogenic or septic shock.
Background: Important progress has been made in our understanding of the autoimmune neuromuscular transmission (NMT) disorders; myasthenia gravis (MG), Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS) and neuromyotonia (Isaacs' syndrome).
In this trial the investigators investigate the efficacy of low dose IL-2 compared with placebo in patients with ACS.

Thymic cell populations from 12 patients displaying myasthenia gravis were submitted to a phenotypic and functional study.
Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), previously believed to be a common cause of atypical parkinsonism, is now recognised as a range of motor and behavioural syndromes that are associated with a characteristic 4-repeat tau neuropathology.
Geron Corporation , a late-stage clinical biopharmaceutical company developing investigational first-in-class telomerase inhibitor, imetelstat, to treat hematologic malignancies, announced that the FDA Oncologic Drugs Advisory Committee (ODAC) voted 12 to 2 in favor of the clinical benefit/risk profile of imetelstat for the treatment of transfusion-dependent (TD) anemia in adult patients with low-to-intermediate-1 risk myelodysplastic syndromes (LR-MDS) who have not responded to or have lost response to or are ineligible for erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs).
Objective: Exposure therapy is an effective treatment for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but many patients do not respond. Brain functions governing treatment outcome are not well characterized.
