The Menstrual Cycle01:19

The Menstrual Cycle

720
The menstrual cycle is a recurrent sequence of changes in the uterine endometrium, specifically its functional layer, the stratum functionalis. This cycle prepares the uterus for potential pregnancy. This cycle typically spans 21–35 days, averaging 28 days, and aligns with the ovarian cycle, regulated by fluctuating levels of ovarian hormones, primarily estrogen and progesterone.
The menstrual phase occurs from days 1 to 5 and involves the shedding of the stratum functionalis, as a...

Menses Phase01:18

Menses Phase

237
The uterine cycle begins with the menstrual phase, which is considered day one of the cycle and typically lasts about five days. This phase is characterized by the degeneration and shedding of the stratum functionalis, the functional layer of the endometrium.
When fertilization does not occur, the corpus luteum deteriorates, causing a significant drop in the levels of estrogen and progesterone in the body. This hormonal decrease triggers the release of prostaglandins, which cause the uterine...

Hormonal Regulation of Blood Pressure01:17

Hormonal Regulation of Blood Pressure

2.5K
Endocrinal or hormonal intervention in the cardiovascular system is predominantly exerted by the catecholamines - epinephrine and norepinephrine, as well as a slew of hormones that interact with renal function to modulate blood volume.
Epinephrine and Norepinephrine
The adrenal medulla releases epinephrine and norepinephrine, catecholamines that enhance and extend the sympathetic or "fight or flight" physiological response. These hormones escalate heart rate and the force of contraction...

Secretory Phase01:19

Secretory Phase

578
The secretory phase of the menstrual cycle, spanning from day 14 to 28 in a typical 28-day cycle, is a period of significant physiological changes in the female reproductive system. This phase commences immediately after ovulation and is characterized by the preparation of the endometrium for potential embryo implantation.
Following ovulation, the corpus luteum, a temporary endocrine structure, produces progesterone and estrogens. These hormones stimulate the growth and coiling of endometrial...

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System01:24

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

332
The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Area of Science:

  • Menstrual Health Research
  • Interdisciplinary Studies
  • Scientific Literature Analysis

Background:

  • Menstrual health requires an integrated understanding beyond biology, including social, psychological, and cultural aspects.
  • The evolution of scientific literature paradigms in menstrual health research remains underexplored.
  • Kuhn's theoretical framework provides a lens for analyzing shifts in scientific research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the alignment of scientific literature with a holistic perspective on menstrual health from 1970-2023.
  • To explore evolving paradigms, thematic shifts, and collaborative dynamics in menstrual health research.
  • To analyze trends in author collaborations and international partnerships.

Main Methods:

  • Text-mining methodologies applied to 34,854 documents from Web of Science and PubMed (September 2023).
  • Data underwent deduplication and cleaning.
  • Analyses included univariate, correspondence factor, hierarchical cluster, and network analyses.

Main Results:

  • Three distinct periods identified: 1) reproductive health/epidemiology (1970-1996), 2) transition with social/gynecological focus (1997-2017), 3) psychological/socioeconomic dimensions added (2018-2023).
  • Increased research connectivity, community consolidation, and interdisciplinary approaches observed.
  • Growing international collaboration but geographical concentration noted.

Conclusions:

  • The study confirms the existence and evolution of a menstrual health research paradigm.
  • Findings indicate a trajectory toward paradigmatic inscription, marked by increased collaboration and global engagement.
  • A balanced, holistic understanding of menstrual health is crucial, integrating biological, social, psychological, and cultural realities.
