Methods: This study was cross-sectional and prospective and included menopausal women aged between 50 and 70 years who attended the Gynecology and Obstetrics consultation at the Central Hospital “Dr. Urquinaona”, Maracaibo, Venezuela. General characteristics, serum calcium concentrations, cortical thickness of the second metacarpal and menopausal symptoms were evaluated. Results: Most of the patients (55.5%) were older than 65 years, with the onset of menopause after 45 years (64.8%), with 4 or more pregnancies (85.2%) and without a history use of contraceptive methods (79.6%). It was observed that 38 participants (70.3%) presented normal values of serum calcium concentrations, while 16 women (29.6%) presented values below the normal value and 28 participants (51.8%) presented moderate changes. and 6 women (11.1%) presented severe changes in the cortical thickness of the second metacarpal. When analyzing the possible associations between menopausal symptoms with both serum calcium values and cortical thickness values, it was observed that these were not significant (p = 0.5097 and p =0.1617, respectively). No association was found between serum calcium concentrations and cortical thickness (p = 0.4074). Conclusion: There is no significant association between serum calcium concentrations, cortical thickness of the second metacarpal and menopausal symptoms.","PeriodicalId":35674,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Obstetricia y Ginecologia de Venezuela","volume":"287 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41296582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Methods: A Cross-sectional study which is part of the CAVIMEC project (Calidad de vida en la menopausia y Etnias Colombianas) was carried out in climacteric Afro-descendant women, between 40 and 59 years old, living in the Colombian Caribbean. They were surveyed in their own residences, prior informed consent. The Menopause Rating Scale was applied, this instrument assesses menopausal symptoms. Logistic regression was performed and the Spearman correlation coefficient was estimated. P value<0.05 was statistically significant. Results: 420 women were studied, median age 50.0 ± 6.1, 22.8% postmenopausal and 82.8% with abdominal obesity. 243 (57.9%) had muscle and joint pain.

Methods: Prospective, descriptive and longitudinal study involving 98 patients. Transperineal ultrasound was performed every two hours during labor, evaluating cervical characteristics and changes in fetal head position and decline variety, linking them to clinical findings. Results: 219 ultrasounds were performed. At the begin, the ultrasound mean of the dilation was 5.94 x 1.70 cm and by clinic was 5.96 x 1.80 cm (p-0.717). At two hours, it was 8.14 x 1.92 cm and 8.15 x 2.07 cm, respectively (p-0.849). At the third control, it was 8.35 x 1.70 cm per ultrasound and by clinic it was 8.43 x 1.97 (p.0.604).
