ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: To identify pharmacists’ beliefs about bioidentical hormone therapy (BHT) and determine factors influencing these beliefs. METHODS: This was a cross-sectional survey targeting practicing pharmacists in Alberta. Participants completed a 54-item, online questionnaire, designed to capture their demographics, as well as their beliefs about BHT. Summary statistics and multivariate regression were used for analyses. Qualitative components were analyzed using phenomenological approach. RESULTS: Over half of respondents believed BHT had equal efficacy and risks as non-bioidentical hormones. Beliefs on estriol, natural progesterone, and saliva testing however, were more diverse with many do not know responses (40%). In multivariate analysis, BHT compounding practice was associated with beliefs about BHT.

  • Long-Term Menopausal Treatment Using an Ultra-High Dosage of Tibolone in an Elderly Chinese Patient – Case Report
    Long-term menopausal treatment using an ultra-high dosage of tibolone in an elderly Chinese patient – Case report Lingyan Zhang 1, Xiangyan Ruan 1,2*, Muqing Gu 1, Alfred O. Mueck 1,2 1 Department of Gynecological Endocrinology, Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital, Capital Medical University, Beijing 100026, China; 2 Department of Women’s Health, University Women’s Hospital and Research Centre for Women’s Health, University of Tuebingen, Tuebingen D-72076, Germany) ABSTRACT This report describes the special case of a Chinese woman with severe vasomotor symptoms (VSMs), depressed mood, low energy and genitourinary syndrome of menopause, including problems of sexual dysfunction, who was treated with tibolone. The aim of the report is to highlight the value of individualizing menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) type and dosage. Since 16 years of previous treatment with various other forms of MHT had not provided satisfactory efficacy in this patient, at the age of 71 years she was prescribed tibolone, starting at the usual lowest dosage of 1.25 mg/day. We gradually had to increase the dosage of tibolone up to 7.5 mg/day, which is three-fold the recommended maximum dosage. We added three-monthly sequential dydrogesterone to reduce the risk of breakthrough bleeding and the risk of endometrial cancer. To date, we have observed no side effects and no remarkable abnormal laboratory assessments, with the exception of increased thyroid-stimulating hormone, which we monitor six-monthly. Even though the patient has been informed about potential risks, such as increased risks of stroke, breast cancer and endometrial cancer, as described in the discussion, she has now been willing to accept this ultra-high dosage for seven years, and wishes to continue with this treatment.

  • Appendix 1 – Protocol for Preventing Or Reversing Chronic Disease The
    Appendix 1 – Protocol for Preventing or Reversing Chronic Disease The first author has developed a protocol over the past decade for preventing or reversing chronic disease based on the following systemic medical principle: “at the present time, removal of cause is a necessary, but not necessarily sufficient, condition for restorative treatment to be effective”[1]. The protocol methodology refines the age-old principles of both reducing harm in addition to providing treatment, and allows better identification of factors that contribute to the disease process (so that they may be eliminated if possible). These contributing factors are expansive and may include a combination of Lifestyle choices (diet, exercise, smoking), iatrogenic and biotoxin exposures, environmental/occupational exposures, and psychosocial stressors. This strategy exploits the existing literature to identify patterns of biologic response using biomarkers from various modalities of diagnostic testing to capture a much broader list of potential contributing factors. Existing inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) Biomarker Identification to Remove Contributing Factors and Implement Treatment The initial protocol steps are diagnostic. The main output of these diagnostics will be identification of the biomarker levels and symptoms that reflect abnormalities, and the directions of change required to eliminate these abnormalities. In the present study, hundreds of general and specific biomarkers and symptoms were identified from the core IBD literature. The highest frequency (based on numbers of record appearances) biomarkers and symptoms were extracted, and are listed in Table 1 (highest frequency items first, reading down each column before proceeding to the next column). They are not necessarily consensus biomarkers. They are biomarkers whose values were altered by a treatment or contributing factor, and reported in the core IBD literature.

Plant phytochemicals have been considered in alternative, or complementary, prevention and treat- ment strategies. Herbals are consumed as such, or as food supplements, whose consumption has recently increased. However, these products are not exempt from adverse effects and pharmaco- logical interactions, presenting a special risk in aged, polymedicated individuals. Understanding pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic interactions is warranted to avoid undesirable adverse drug reactions, which may result in unwanted side-effects or therapeutic failure. The present study reviews the potential interactions between selected bioactive compounds (170) used by seniors for cognitive enhancement and representative drugs of 10 pharmacotherapeutic classes commonly prescribed to the middle-aged adults, often multimorbid and polymedicated, to anticipate and prevent risks arising from their co-administration.

  • Metabolic Enzyme/Protease
    Inhibitors, Agonists, Screening Libraries www.MedChemExpress.com Metabolic Enzyme/Protease Metabolic pathways are enzyme-mediated biochemical reactions that lead to biosynthesis (anabolism) or breakdown (catabolism) of natural product small molecules within a cell or tissue. In each pathway, enzymes catalyze the conversion of substrates into structurally similar products. Metabolic processes typically transform small molecules, but also include macromolecular processes such as DNA repair and replication, and protein synthesis and degradation. Metabolism maintains the living state of the cells and the organism. Proteases are used throughout an organism for various metabolic processes. Proteases control a great variety of physiological processes that are critical for life, including the immune response, cell cycle, cell death, wound healing, food digestion, and protein and organelle recycling. On the basis of the type of the key amino acid in the active site of the protease and the mechanism of peptide bond cleavage, proteases can be classified into six groups: cysteine, serine, threonine, glutamic acid, aspartate proteases, as well as matrix metalloproteases. Proteases can not only activate proteins such as cytokines, or inactivate them such as numerous repair proteins during apoptosis, but also expose cryptic sites, such as occurs with β-secretase during amyloid precursor protein processing, shed various transmembrane proteins such as occurs with metalloproteases and cysteine proteases, or convert receptor agonists into antagonists and vice versa such as chemokine conversions carried out by metalloproteases, dipeptidyl peptidase IV and some cathepsins. In addition to the catalytic domains, a great number of proteases contain numerous additional domains or modules that substantially increase the complexity of their functions.
