OBJECTIVE
As in the case of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases, the prevalence of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) has been rising with the increasing proportion of elderly women in the population. The purpose of the present cross-sectional study was to evaluate the components of metabolic syndrome
Data regarding possible associations between metabolic syndrome (MS) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) are scarce. The primary hypothesis was that the prevalence of MS and its components was higher in postmenopausal women with POP than in age-matched women without POP staged with the Idiopathic mitral valve prolapse (IMVP) is a very common cardiac abnormality that may be linked to carnitine deficit (inadequate nutritional intake or absorption). One patient with IMVP and related symptoms that were resistant to drug therapy was fully studied. Free plasma carnitine and 24-hour free
OBJECTIVE
Mitral valve prolapse is heritable and occurs frequently in the general population despite associations with mitral regurgitation and infective endocarditis, suggesting that selective advantages might be associated with mitral valve prolapse.
METHODS
Clinical examination and 2-dimensional
Epidemiologic differences in ischemic heart disease incidence between women and men remain largely unexplained. The reasons of women's "protection" against coronary artery disease (CAD) are not still clear. However, there are subsets more likely to die of a first myocardial infarction. The purpose
There are no ready explanations for differences in ischemic heart disease incidence between women and men under an epidemiological perspective. However, when myocardial infarction occurs, there are more likely individuals who happen to die.
This review from a more recent literature was performed for
The risk factors of ischemic cerebrovascular disorders in 77 young patients (< or = 40 years) were compared to those in 138 older patients (> 40 years). The risk factor profile of patients with juvenile stroke was considerably different from that of older patients. Migrainous headache and mitral

Between 1910 and 1940, 146 young females, aged 15-30 years, underwent bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy as part of a radical operation for salpingo-oophoritis. These women or their records were reviewed in 1971. 42 women had died in the meantime. More than half (22) of them had died from
