Clinical manifestations and treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding

Article Abstract:

Dysfunctional uterine bleeding is common among women during their reproductive years. It may be caused by a variety of disorders, but the most common cause is anovulation. Anovulation, or the absence of ovulation, is more common during the transitional times of puberty and menopause than during other times in a woman's life. During these times, anovulation is usually the result of physiological changes caused by lower estrogen levels. Some women may suffer from chronic anovulatory bleeding. These women have a higher risk of developing endometrial cancer (cancer of the lining of the uterus) if the abnormal bleeding does not stop. Some women suffering from anovulatory bleeding undergo surgery, but most are treated with different types of hormones. Several synthetic progestational drugs have been used successfully to treat this type of bleeding.

Parkinsonian Features: When Are They Parkinson Disease?

Article Abstract:

Clinical signs and the response to levodopa therapy can aid in distinguishing Parkinson disease (PD) from other parkinsonian syndromes. PD and similar syndromes are characterized by progressive muscle tremors, movement disorders, and stiffness. Dementia, multiple system atrophy, antipsychotic-drug reactions, and other conditions can cause parkinsonian tremors and other symptoms. Slowly progressing impairment in movement, a resting muscle tremor or muscle rigidity, and a rapid response to dopamine replacement, suggest the diagnosis of PD. Hallucinations, dementia, or a failure to clearly respond to levodopa therapy, indicate other causes of the parkinsonian symptoms.
