Introduction:Receptive functions represents higher mental processes by which people carry out normal daily living tasks. The specificity of these functions is that they stimulate specific physiological functions in the body. They are reflected in the ability to select, classify and integrate the information received.Material and Methods:We performed an assessment of visual-perceptual abilities by Purdue nonverbal test (PNT-TV) in 135 patients. Patients are classified into three age groups of 45 patients. The first group consisted of patients of childbearing age (25-39 years), second group of patients in perimenopausal age (40-54 years) and a third group of postmenopausal patients (≥55 years).
Results:The distribution of the results are statistically different between groups, suggesting that at the onset of menopause there is a decrease of visual-perceptual abilities in patients (Friedman test was significant with p<0.001).Conclusion:By the distribution of the results of our study, and the statistical significance of Friedman’s, it can be concluded that patients who enter menopause have tendency to decrease of receptive functions.
The syndrome amenorrhea/galactorrhea and infertility are the most common symptoms of prolactinomas. Micro prolactinomas are more frequent in women. Bromocriptine is an effective drug in the treatment of hyperprolactinemia with prolactinomas. It effectively normalize prolactin, establishing gonadal function and reduces tumor mass.
Introduction:One of the problems of today and probably this century is obesity, which is classified by the WHO as a disease.Material and methods:We performed a prospective cross-sectional study of the body weight impact on certain biochemical indicators in menopausal women living in the municipalities Cazin and Velika Kladusa.Results and discussion:The study included 334 women aged 40-60 years, who had regular medical examinations. For each patient at the beginning of the study we measured: body mass index, total cholesterol values, LDL, HDL and triglycerides fractions. Our findings indicate an increase in total cholesterol, LDL fraction and triglycerides in patients with increased body mass index, without statistical significance. Values of HDL fraction were significantly decreased with increasing body mass index.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
