Urinary steroid profiling by means of Capillary gas chromatography in postmenopausal women was detected. Glass capillary columns, OV-1, were used. Our results show that there is a rise of extraction of etiocholanolone (ET) in case of postmenopausal women in compare with androsterone (AN). The ratio ET/AN confirms the above results.
68 women with sterility treatment were tested. Among 13 of them (20%) presence of chlamydial antibodies was found. Hormonal profile was estimated. In a group of women with positive serologic reaction increased concentration of prolactin was found.
A case of pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis in a female during menopause is presented. Difficulties in correct histopathological assessment of lung biopsies were met. The diagnosis was made after diagnosis lymph seeping into the pleural cavity. The patient was initially treated with prednisolone, tamoxifen followed by methyl progesterone and after characterizing the patient's hormone profile with danazol. Lymph seeping to the right pleural cavity was treated with pleural drainage and diet limitations. Lymph exudate to the left pleural cavity was controlled with local cytotoxic therapy. After 7 years of therapy and 8 years since the initial symptoms the state of the patient has deteriorated although she can perform every day chores and does not require oxygen therapy. High resolution CT scan disclosed extensive pulmonary changes implying extensive progression of the disease.
