[Depression and nutrition in a group of women during climacteric].

Depression and eating disorders are often combined. Depression and weight changes are often observed in climacteric women. In our study the possibility of an association of depressive reactions and eating behavioral changes are assessed among 42 climacteric patients.

[The vaginal ecosystem in a group of asymptomatic women].

In physiological conditions the vaginal flora reflects, from a quantitative a quality point of view, the metabolical, local and hormonal situation of the woman. The vaginal infections could be facilitated by borderline conditions, between physiology and pathology. The prevention may contribute to limit the development and diffusion of infections. For this reason, we have examined, with a bacteriological and symptomatological test who 50 women requested a gynecological control for different reasons from vulvovaginiti. The results suggest that women often silently accept borderline conditions.

[The relation between dysmenorrhea and hot flash in a group of women in climacteric].

Hot flushes in climacteric age can cause noticeable discomfort to those who have them. This functional disturbance confirms the strong relationship between the gonadic steroids and the central neurotransmitters. These complex mechanisms which control reproductive functions limit our knowledge of the pathogenesis of hot flushes. The possible intervention of prostaglandins in the rising of this disturbance and their participation in dismenorrhea have raised the hypothesis that the prostaglandins may be the common denominator in the development of dysmenorrhea in fertile age women and of hot flushes in climacteric age women. Under this context, we examined a number of women in menopause to determine if they suffered with dysmenorrhea in fertile age.

[Coexistence of a molar pregnancy and a live fetus].

The authors are presenting the second reported case of molar pregnancy with a coexistent fetus in which the outcome of both fetus and mother was positive. The diagnosis has been determined in utero as seen in the previously case presented. After a careful examination of world literature, we have accurately evaluated the elements which need to be taken into consideration in order for the pregnancy to progress.

[Magnesium oxide and tocolysis. Our clinical experience and comparison with beta-mimetic (isoxusprine) therapy].

The authors propose the use of oral Magnesium Oxide in the quantity of 200 mg every 3-4 hours for the tocolytic treatment of the pre-term pain, once intravenous tocolysis has decreased or stopped uterine activity (since it has considerably more rapid effect). This treatment constitutes a valid alternative to the use of Beta Mimetic agents in all cases where their use is contraindicated. In the present study, we followed one heterogeneous group of 130 patients, suffering from premature labor hospitalized in our department. After decreasing the uterine contractions by intravenous isossuprine, sixty patients were subsequently treated with magnesium Oxide, fifty with oral isossisuprine, twenty with a simple antispasmodic and the remaining constituted the control group. The percentage of pre-term births has been almost the same in the first two groups (around 17%). The percentage of the patients who exhibited side effects of Beta Mimetic was 30-40%, against 2% of the patients treated with Magnesium Oxide. The intensity of the symptoms was however so slight in the patients treated with Magnesium Oxide, that it failed to disturb the compliance of the patients which allowed to continue the therapy for the necessary period.
