- 传染病流行病学 传染病流行病学
- 临床研究是临床研究.
背景情况:
- 荷尔蒙疗法 (HT) 是通常被经期绝经和绝经后妇女使用的.
- 在这个人口群体中,HT对COVID-19严重性的影响尚不清楚.
- 了解潜在的关联对于患者护理和公共卫生至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 检查激素治疗 (HT) 使用与严重的COVID-19结果之间的关系.

主要方法:
- 使用罗切斯特流行病学项目的回顾性队列研究.
- 包括2020年3月至9月期间确诊COVID-19的40-65岁女性.
- 现在的HT用户和过去的/从未使用者之间的严重结果 (急诊室访问,住院,死亡) 的比较,用后勤回归分析.
主要成果:
- 这项研究包括689名女性,平均年龄为56岁.
- 过去/从未使用过HT的用户年龄较大,患有更严重的COVID-19风险因素,糖尿病发病率更高.
- 与过去的/从未使用过的用户相比,当前的HT用户经历了类似的严重COVID-19结果率和风险,即使在调整后也是如此.

Target Cell Response to Hormones
3.5K
Hormones intricately bind to receptors on the surface or within target cells, initiating a cascade of cellular responses.
Notably, the cellular response can be regulated by altering the number of receptors expressed in the cell. For example, prolonged exposure to elevated hormone levels results in a gradual decline or down-regulation in the number of receptors for that specific hormone on the cell surface. Conversely, in response to low hormone levels, cells may use up-regulation, producing an...

Hazard Ratio
247
The hazard ratio (HR) is a widely used measure in clinical trials to compare the risk of events, such as death or disease recurrence, between two groups over time. It reflects the ratio of hazard rates—the instantaneous risk of the event occurring—between a treatment group and a control group. This measure provides valuable insights into the relative effectiveness of a treatment by assessing how the risk of an event differs between the two groups.

Cancer Therapies
7.9K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Hormonal Regulation

Hormones regulate a significant portion of digestion through activation of the neuroendocrine system. The neuroendocrine system of digestion contains many different hormones all with multiple functions that are both, directly and indirectly, involved in digestion.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
2.8K
The ovarian cycle is meticulously regulated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis. This cycle orchestrates the release of a mature oocyte, essential for reproduction.
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...

Major Hormones and Their Functions
689
Hormones, the biochemical messengers produced by endocrine glands, are pivotal in regulating bodily functions and maintaining homeostasis. Each hormone's balance is crucial; imbalances can lead to significant physiological disruptions. Major hormones include oxytocin, cortisol, epinephrine, estrogen, testosterone, thyroxine, growth hormone, insulin, and glucagon.
Oxytocin, produced in the hypothalamus and released by the pituitary gland, plays a role in social bonding, childbirth, and...
