Androgens & Cardiovascular Diseases in Women: From Basic Research to Clinical...InsideScientific
Join Dr. Licy Yanes-Cardozo as she expands on her research exploring the role of androgens on cardiovascular physiology in cis and transgender patients.
Women have higher plasma concentrations of androgens than estrogens, yet the role of androgens in physiological processes and diseases is not completely understood. High levels of androgens in women are associated with a negative cardiometabolic profile, whereas in men, low levels of androgens are associated with an increased incidence of cardiovascular diseases.The biology behind androgens’ sex difference is not completely understood.
In this webinar, Dr. Yanes-Cardozo discusses two clinical situations that are associated with high levels of androgens. Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), the most common endocrine disorder in reproductive-aged women, is associated with a modest elevation of plasma levels of androgens. In transmen individuals (female to male), plasma concentrations of androgens are elevated to achieve similar levels found in cisgender men and much higher than in PCOS women. The role that these two different plasma concentrations play in cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology remains unclear. Gaps and opportunities in basic research and clinical practice are highlighted.
Key Topics Include:
- Review the key role of androgens in cardiovascular pathophysiology
- Discuss potential mechanisms by which androgens mediate a deleterious cardiometabolic profile in females
- Interpret gaps and opportunities in basic and clinical practice in conditions of androgen excess
This seminar explores the potential connection between two inositol stereoisomers supplements and improvements in insulin sensitivity and various metabolic parameters.

Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit

(abdomen, face, chest, inner thighs)
• 5-10% of population
• Virilism
• Adrenal hyperplasia and androgen-producing tumor
• Ovarian tumor
• Hyperthecosis
• Clitoromegaly
• Deepening of the voice
• Balding
• Changes in body habitus
55. Types of hair
Lanugo Vellus Terminal
• Covers the fetus
• Lightly pigmented
• Thin in diameter,
short in length
• Fragile in
attachment
• Downy,
unpigmented
hair
• Prepubertal
years
• Coarse,
pigmented
hair
• Adult years
Hirsutism: Vellus to terminal hair transformation and growth in
androgen-dependent sites
56. • Total endowment of hair follicles is made by 22
weeks gestation
• Total concentration of hair follicles per unit
area
• No difference between sexes
• May differ between ethnic groups and races:
White > Asian;
Mediterranean > Nordic
57.
58. Structure and Growth
• Anagen: the growing phase: 4 months
• Catagen: rapid involution phase, transitional phase: 3-4
weeks
• Telogen: quiscent phase, resting phase: 3-4 months
• Androgens: Increase anagen phase; increase hair
diameter; increase hair follicle size, shorter anagen in scalp
hair
• Scalp hair: Longer anagen, catagen: 2-5 years, relatively
short resting phase
• Forearm: Short anagen and long telogen
• Stable nongrowing length
• The appearance of continues growth
• The degree to which individual hair follicles act asynchronously with their
neighbours

60. There are two conditions characterized by
generalized hair growth that do not represent
true hirsutism
• Lanugo
• Hypertrichosis
• Drugs
• Hypothyroidism, anorexia nervosa,
malnutrition, porphyria, and dermatomyositis,
and as a paraneoplastic syndrome in some
patients
62. Pathophysiology of androgens in
hirsutism
• Increased serum level of androgens, especially
free-T
• Decreased level of SHBG
• Increased activity of 5α-reductase activity
68. Adrenal tumors
• DHEA and DHEA-S secretion
• DHEA-S>700-800 μg/dl
• Usually cortisole is also secreted
• Clinical manifestations of androgen excess and
Cushing's syndrome
• A normal serum DHEA-S value does not exclude
the diagnosis
71. History
• Age of onset
• NCCAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and idiopathic hirsutism-
similar age of symptom onset
• Androgen-secreting tumors or ovarian hyperthecosis
• Third decade of life or later
• Both diagnoses are most common after menopause
• Stable versus progressive hair growth
• NCCAH due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency and idiopathic hirsutism-
similar presentation.
• Androgen-secreting tumors
• Recent onset, short duration (typically less than one year), or rapidly
progressive hirsutism
• Hyperthecosis: Severe hirsutism, postmenopausal, more gradual
compared to tumors
72. Physical examination
• Ferriman-Gallwey scoring
• Poor interobserver agreement
• Evidence of virilization
• Findings include deepening of the voice, temporal and/or crown
balding, increased muscle mass, and clitoromegaly
• Clitoral enlargement is typically determined on the basis of
clitoral length or the clitoral index (length times width): length
>10 mm or an index >35 mm2 is considered above normal
• Other important findings
• Other skin findings: Acne, seborrhea, acanthosis nigricans, striae
• Body mass index
• Abdominal and pelvic exam

74. Evaluation
• For Mediterranean, Hispanic, and Middle Eastern
women, FG score ≥ 9-10 is considered abnormal
whereas for Asian women ≥2
• Scores between 8 and 15 are usually considered to
be mild hirsutism, 16 to 25 moderate, and scores
>25 severe hirsutism
• There is only a modest correlation between the
quantity of hair growth and serum androgen levels
78. Assesment of Insulin secretion
• 2-hour 75 mg glucose tolerance test
• Normal: Less than 140 mg/dL
• Impaired: 140-199 mg/dL
• Noninsulin-dependent diabetes: 200 mg/dL and
higher
79. Pelvic ultrasonography
• Large cysts, solid masses, and complex cysts that
do not resolve spontaneously in two to four weeks
• Small hilus-cell tumors
• May not be seen by ultrasonography
• Sex cord stromal tumors, are often not visualized
• May not be seen by ultrasonography
• MRI, PET
80. Adrenal imaging
• Markedly elevated serum testosterone and
pelvic ultrasound is negative
• A serum DHEA-S concentration >700 mcg/dL
• Adrenal CT is the imaging test of choice

with androgen excess
