Menopausia y Terapia Hormonal de la Menopausia Las recomendaciones 2018 de la Unidad de Endocrinología Ginecológica de Clínica Alemana de Santiago -Sociedad Italiana de la Menopausia y la Sociedad Chilena de Endocrinología Ginecológica

ABSTRACT In the last decade, the risk benefits ratio of MHT has been evaluated mainly in terms of cardiovascular risk. Present Consensus Statement is largely inspired by the Global Consensus on Menopausal Hormone Therapy in 2013 and 2016 by leading global menopause societies (The American Society for Reproductive Medicine, The Asia Pacific Menopause Federation, The Endocrine Society, The European Menopause and Andropause Society, The International Menopause Society, The International Osteoporosis Foundation and The North American Menopause Society). The aim of these Recommendations is to provide a simple and updated reference on postmenopausal MHT. The term MHT typically includes estrogen replacement therapy (ERT) and estrogen-progestogen therapy (EPT). EPT can be sequential (Seq) when progestogen is added to ERT for 10-14 days a month, or continuous combined (CC) when progestogen is administered continuously every day along with a fixed amount of estrogen. MHT also includes Tibolone and the Tissue Selective Estrogen Complex (TSEC)

“MAZE.ROE” project: study of gut microbiota and diet composition of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in the Italian Alps

The MAZE.ROE research project aims at characterizing the gut microbiota and the diet composition of roe deer (Capreolus capreolus) in the Italian Alps, by applying a metataxonomic approach coupled with high-throughput sequencing (Illumina). A total amount of 384 fecal samples, collected from roe deers in the Trento province (years 2013-2014) and the Valle d'Aosta region (2013), were selected for the study. Preliminary results obtained during a pilot study on a limited number of fecal samples deriving from 3 roe deers individuals confirmed the feasibility of the whole project, which is currently in progress
