Objective The aim of this study was to assess the frequency of hypothyroidism among menorrhagic women attending Munshaat Sultan Family Health Center. Background Menorrhagia is a very common complaint among women. The prevalence of menorrhagia is estimated at 11–13% in women in the childbearing period and increases with age. Hypothyroidism is considered a correctable cause of menorrhagia. All women with unexplained menorrhagia should be tested for thyrotrophin-releasing hormone. Patients and methods A cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 menorrhagic women, who were recruited from Munshaat Sultan Family Health Center, Menoufia District, Menoufia Governorate, Egypt, during the period from the first …

Power lifting can improve total body bone mineral density (BMD), but improvements in the regions most susceptible to injury (femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae) have not been demonstrated. Soccer players, who engage in odd-impact loading, have greater BMD at the femoral neck than sedentary controls. Olympic lifting involves both high- and odd-impact loading at the femoral neck and lumbar regions, but comparisons in BMD across sport-specific athletes have not yet been made. PURPOSE: To examine differences in total BMD and BMD at the femoral neck and lumbar vertebrae between female power lifters (PL), Olympic lifters (OL), soccer players (SP) and …
