Systematic review and meta-analysis of the effects of menopause hormone therapy on cognition
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38501109/
These findings suggest time-dependent effects of MHT on certain aspects of cognition, with variations based on formulation and timing of initiation, underscoring the need for further research with larger samples...
Estrogen-only menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) improves global cognition and verbal memory when started near menopause. In contrast, estrogen-progestogen MHT can impair cognitive function, particularly with longer duration.
Efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine in the treatment of menopause-like syndrome for breast cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Most studies suggest nutritional interventions benefit subjective sleep disturbances in menopause. However, due to study heterogeneity and low methodological quality, more high-quality trials are needed.
Ovarian Suppression: Early Menopause and Late Effects
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38478329/
Around 90% of breast tumours are diagnosed in the early stage, with approximately 70% being hormone receptor-positive. The cornerstone of adjuvant therapy for early-stage hormone receptor-positive breast cancer is endocrine...
Ovarian function suppression in hormone receptor-positive breast cancer, while effective, can impact quality of life due to side effects. Clinicians must proactively manage these effects for better adherence and outcomes.
Anti-Müllerian hormone for the diagnosis and prediction of menopause: a systematic review

The findings of this systematic review support the use of serum AMH to study the age of menopause in population studies. The increased sensitivity of current AMH assays provides improved...
The findings of this systematic review support the use of serum AMH to study the age of menopause in population studies. The increased sensitivity of current AMH assays provides improved accuracy for the prediction of imminent menopause, but diagnostic use for individual patients has not been rigorously examined.
