Clinical Trial on the Preventive Effect of Intravaginal Prasterone on Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections in Postmenopausal Women

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are bothersome and more likely to occur in postmenopausal women. Frequent UTIs, as well as other problems with the urinary and genital systems such as painful sex and urinary frequency/urgency, are part of a symptom complex called genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM). Prasterone (Intrarosa®) is a man-made steroid that helps with painful sex in postmenopausal women. Because previous studies have shown prasterone to help with other GSM problems, this study was designed to investigate if prasterone used in the vagina decreases the number of UTIs in postmenopausal women.

Bone Health in Aging HIV Infected Women

Design: Open-label randomised multicenter international strategic trial of older women on combination antiretroviral therapy (cART) containing tenofovir-emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) with HIV RNA suppression for > 6 months to : 1. Immediate switch of TDF/FTC to tenofovir alafenamide-emtricitabine (TAF/FTC) while continuing the third antiretroviral agent.; 2. Delayed switch; with switch of TDF/FTC to TAF/FTC at 48 weeks while continuing the third agent. Follow up of all subjects to 96 weeks. Subject Population: The anticipated sample size is 128 HIV infected women aged 45-55 years (peri or early post menopause). . Primary endpoint: Percentage change from baseline bone mineral density (BMD) at the lumbar spine at weeks 48 and 96. Secondary Endpoints: BMD change at hip, trabecular bone score, estimated bone strength by high resolution peripheral quantitative computerized tomography (HR-pQCT), muscle quality, geriatric assessment; biomarkers of bone, immune activation and inflammation; HIV viral suppression; safety, lipid and renal function, cardiovascular risk scores at weeks 48 and 96. Expected Outcomes: To determine if a switch from TDF/FTC to TAF?FTC improves BMD to a degree correlating with a decreased risk of fragility fracture in aging HIV infected women. Secondary outcomes will assess bone strength using new imaging modalities, timing of switch, and renal health. This data will be used by health policy makers and providers to determine the proper use of TAF/FTC in the aging HIV population.

Gonadal Hormone, Gonadotropin and Cardiovascular Events

Deficiency in gonadal hormone has been considered to play a role in ageing related increased incidence of cardiovascular events. But the mechanism has not been fully elucidated. On the other hand, the dramatic increase in gonadotropin level didn't drew much attention when talking about the increased risk of cardiovascular disease during menopausal transition. This study aim to investigate the association between gonadal hormone, gonadotropin and long-term cardiovascular events.

Effects of Probiotic Supplementation in Hypertensive Women on Menopause

In postmenopausal women, cardiovascular risk is increased and the mechanisms involving imbalance of the Autonomic Nervous System should be extensively investigated. Recent data suggest a link with intestinal microbiota dysbiosis and probiotic supplementation could be a useful strategy for treating women with increased cardiovascular risk.
