Sex in the brain: hormones and sex differences

Dialogues in Clinical Neuroscience, 2016
Contrary to popular belief, sex hormones act throughout the entire brain of both males and females via both genomic and nongenomic receptors. Many neural and behavioral functions are affected by estrogens, including mood, cognitive function, blood pressure regulation, motor coordination, pain, and opioid sensitivity.

Risk Factors and Predictive Models for Sarcopenia in Older Adults

AGING MEDICINE, EarlyView.
Independent risk factors for sarcopenia identified by Lasso regression and logistic regression in the study were BMI, prealbumin, albumin/globulin ratio (A/G ratio), serum creatinine, and phosphorus. These factors were used to construct a nomogram model and a decision tree model. Both models showed effectiveness in predicting sarcopenia in older adults,

Sex hormones and apoptosis and immunoglobulin production in systemic lupus erythematosus [PDF]

, 2003
BACKGROUND: SLE is an autoimmune disease that affects predominantly female of reproductive age. Previous studies have suggested an immunomodulatory role of sex hormones in the pathogenesis of SLE.

The "backdoor pathway" of androgen synthesis in human male sexual development. [PDF]

, 2019
Mammalian sex determination (male versus female) is largely controlled by genes, whereas sex differentiation (development of reproductive structures) is largely controlled by hormones. Work in the 20th century indicated that female external anatomy was a

Nutritional benefits of pancreas‐sparing total duodenectomy for severe duodenal polyposis in patients with familial adenomatous polyposis

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The postoperative nutritional status of patients with familial adenomatous polyposis who underwent pancreas‐sparing total duodenectomy was better than that of patients who underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy. This study provides the first direct comparison of postoperative nutritional outcomes between patients with pancreas‐sparing total duodenectomy and

Prognostic impact of postoperative fixed‐point inflammation in patients with gastric cancer after curative gastrectomy: A validation cohort study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
The cutoff value of CRP by sex for poor OS remains unclear. This study aimed to determine the cutoff values of CRP on postoperative day 3 to predict poor OS in men and women with gastric cancer after radical gastrectomy. The high‐CRP group has poorer overall survival than the low‐CRP group for gastric cancer after gastrectomy.

Thyroid hormone levels within reference range are associated with heart rate, cardiac structure, and function in middle-aged men and women [PDF]

, 2013
Background: Triiodothyronine (T3) has many effects on the heart, and marked changes in cardiac function and structure occur in patients with (subclinical) thyroid disease. We investigated whether between-subject variation in thyroid hormone levels within

Comprehensive genetic analysis of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
Although the involvement of female sex hormones in the development of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females is controversial, our detailed analysis using RNA‐seq suggested that the female sex hormone, β‐estradiol plays a role in the development of poorly differentiated gastric cancer in young females. Abstract Aim The reasons behind the

Epilepsy and Sex Hormones

Journal of the Turkish Epilepsi Society, 2018
There is a mutual interaction between sex steroid hormones and epilepsy. Although female and male sex hormones and their metabolites access the brain via the blood brain barrier, they can also be synthesized de novo from cholesterol within the glia and neurones (neurosteroids).

Super Subtotal Gastrectomy: A Novel Reconstruction Concept for Upper Gastric Cancer That Preserves the Fornix

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
We developed a novel super subtotal gastrectomy (SSTG) technique for upper‐third gastric cancer near the esophagogastric junction. This method preserves the gastric fornix, a major site of ghrelin secretion, while maintaining an oral margin beyond the esophageal junction. SSTG offers a potential solution for reducing postoperative complications such as
