Among its side effects is the alteration in carbohydrate metabolism, which is currently considered an obstacle to its systematic use. We conducted a study with 50 patients who use this drug as a single therapy to identify alterations in glycaemic control in them. Fasting, immediate post-pandrial (30 minutes) and 1 st and 2 nd hours after glucose overload were determined. In no case was the presence of diabetes mellitus, however, in more than a third of them there were plasma blood glucose levels in the range of “glucose tolerance disorder” in samples taken fasting and post-pandrial immediately, while in the 1st and 2nd hour after gluco seoverload, significant levels of said “glucose tolerance disorder” were identified, which involves a potential risk protein glycosylation It is concluded that this metabolic disorder is very common in patients who use atenolol as a single drug in their treatment and that adequate attention to lifestyle modifications and dietary habits is probably necessary in patients who decide to indicate this drug as an anti-hypertensive drug.","PeriodicalId":92369,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of reproductive medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44279891","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}

Fasting venous blood was collected and was used for the determination of selenium, calcium and membrane potential. Results: The results obtained revealed that the levels of selenium and membrane potential were significantly decreased in breast cancer patients when compared with the control at P<0.05. Conclusion: This could probably imply reduction of selenium and cell membrane potential leading to oxidative stress.","PeriodicalId":92369,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of reproductive medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68373375","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}

Therefore, storing the potential or material to have biological children after cancer treatment can be of high importance to many cancer survivors and help them adjust to life after cancer therapy [3]. There are various fertility preservation (FP) techniques with the aim of saving the possibility of childbearing capacity in prepubertal and pubertal cancer patients [4]. It is important that patients are adequately supported to determine which options are best suited to their individual situation [5]. Decisions surrounding FP in children, adolescents, and adults can be difficult due to the distress of a cancer diagnosis, time constraints for decision-making, and lack of efficacy data, oncological treatment planning and preparation, and possible fertility treatment financial barriers, etc. [6,7]. Given the nature of the multi-step decision-making process, the key question is who decides to preserve fertility in cancer patients; oncologists, reproductive specialists, embryologists, other health care providers, or the patient. American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) outlines “oncologists should address the possibility of infertility with patients treated during their reproductive years and be prepared to discuss possible FP options or refer appropriate and interested patients to reproductive specialists” [8]. Therefore, the potential risk should be discussed with all pubertal or post-pubertal patients at the time of diagnosis. It has been suggested that the discussion should include an explanation of potential methods of FP [9]. Given the recommendation, all health care providers and physicians involved in the FP process in cancer patients are only responsible for keeping the patient fully and comprehensively informed and referring the patient to a fertility specialist. It is up to the patient to make the decision to use FP.","PeriodicalId":92369,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of reproductive medicine","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47257908","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}

Research shows that people with inadequate health literacy find it difficult to comprehend health information. Maternal health literacy can be defined as cognitive and social skills that determine the motivation and ability of women to understand and use the information they can protect, sustain and improve their health. Adequate level of women’s health literacy is extremely important for the protection and promotion of both their own and their children’s health. Women with low levels of health literacy will be unable to access and understand health-related information, making it difficult for both her and her family members to make the right decisions in situations that concern their health. Considering that maternal health literacy affects not only maternal health but also child health, growth and death, necessary health policies and practices should be developed to improve maternal health literacy in order to improve maternal and child health.","PeriodicalId":92369,"journal":{"name":"Global journal of reproductive medicine","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42404670","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}
