Article Abstract
Introduction: Various studies suggest a significant impact of gonadal hormones on many neuronal functions, including auditory processing. Although a few researchers have independently investigated the brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) patterns during various phases of menstrual cycle and also during menopause, there is an acute paucity of comparative data between their BAEP patterns. This study was conducted to compare the BAEP patterns between normally menstruating females and menopausal females from North India.
Materials And Methods: A cross-sectional study was done on 90 females aged 17-21 years who were in the follicular phase of their menstrual cycle and 100 menopausal females aged 46-70 years. BAEP recording was done using standardized protocol. The data were analyzed using SPSS software. It contained mean wave latencies I, II, III, IV, V, and Interpeak Latencies (IPL) I-V, I-III, and III-V.
Results: The mean values of latencies of waves I, III, and V and also of IPL I-III, I-V, and III-V were significantly higher ( 0.05) in menopausal females. However, the difference between mean values of wave latencies II and IV of both groups was statistically non-significant ( 0.05).
Conclusion: The increased latencies in menopausal females indicate subtle degenerative changes that start appearing within the central auditory pathway after menopause and are probably due to a decline in ovarian hormones, especially estrogen.

Background: Reproduction affects health and longevity among females across the life course. While significant focus has been devoted to the role of menarche, menopause remains understudied. Most menopause research is conducted in industrialized populations, where the risk of cardiovascular diseases increases progressively during the menopausal transition.

Background: The pathological response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) has become a vital prognostic indicator for patients with breast cancer (BC). The newly generated models depended on rather basic imaging and pathology characteristics and did not sufficiently elucidate the importance of the incorporated data. The purpose of this study is to establish and authenticate a machine learning model for predicting the pathological complete response to NAC using baseline clinical and pathological features in BC patients.

This text explores the impact of gender specificities on women's health at work, particularly in the hospital environment. It highlights the importance of adapting working conditions to take account of gynecological health risks, such as endometriosis, menopause and premenstrual syndrome. A dedicated consultation service, set up at the Brignoles-Le Luc intercommunal hospital center, helps to better understand and manage these risks, while improving employees' quality of life and working conditions.

Objective: To evaluate sex-specific trends in diabetes management in Switzerland over a 25-year period using nationally representative data, and to determine whether menopausal status modifies these differences.
Methods: We analyzed six Swiss Health Surveys (1997-2022) to assess sex differences in diabetes screening, diagnosis, treatment, and control. Multivariable logistic regressions were adjusted for demographic, socioeconomic, and lifestyle covariates.

Background: Obesity has emerged as a critical global public health challenge. Postmenopausal women experience significantly elevated risks of metabolic disorders and a marked increase in obesity prevalence due to declining estrogen levels. The uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR), an emerging biomarker for metabolic syndrome, is gaining clinical recognition.
