Product Description
This volume brings together contributions from basic scientists, epidemiologists, and practicing clinicians whose expertise or clinical practice involves the study or administration of gonadal hormones. Our current knowledge of the biology of gonadal hormones is assessed, and the question is explored of the gaps in knowledge that need to be addressed through additional research. Other questions explored include the following: What is the appropriate population to study? What is the therapeutic window for hormone therapy and/or estrogen therapy? What are the appropriate formulations of HT and ET? What should be considered the most appropriate design for clinical trials that address the efficacy of HT/ET? What are appropriate surrogate markers of neurological decline/impairment? What are the best in vitro and in vivo models to address the efficacy of postmenopausal HT or ET?

The future of your aging female brain by Judith Paley (Denver, CO)  5 Stars
May 04, 2008
If the Women's Health Initiative made you reluctant to prescribe hormone therapy, think again. And if you happen to be a lady doctor of a 'certain age,' you'll think a whole lot better if you're taking estrogen yourself.
These doctors have compiled an awesome archive of research on hormones and brain function. This body of knowledge from studies on neurons in petri dishes, animal brains, and women proves that the Women's Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS) has no relevance to decision making for our patients now facing the menopausal transition and beyond.
You owe it to your patients to pick-up a copy; the price for a used copy is a steal!
