Mildly elevated diastolic blood pressure increases subsequent risk of breast cancer in postmenopausal women in the Health Examinees-Gem study - Scientific Reports
Source : https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-022-19705-4
Epidemiological evidence suggests that hypertension is associated with breast cancer risk. However, previous studies disregard blood pressure components in the healthy population. We aimed to examine the relationship between systolic...
Conclusion: In summary, this study suggests that normal-high DBP values are associated with increased BC risk in postmenopausal women. We propose that mildly elevated DBP values are associated with an increased probability of BC, but they are not necessarily causal factors. Still, DBP could be used for the risk calculation of BC occurrence. Our...

Possible Association of Hysterectomy Accompanied with Opportunistic Salpingectomy with Early Menopause: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Source : https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/19/11871
Opportunistic salpingectomies (OSs) are concurrently performed with hysterectomies to prevent epithelial ovarian cancer. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between OS and early menopause in females who have undergone...
Conclusion: These results showed that a hysterectomy plus an OS might cause earlier menopause than a hysterectomy only. An OS should be preoperatively discussed with patients regarding the possibility of early menopause. The findings of this study require further large-scale investigations to reinforce the results.
