Effects of physiologic testosterone therapy on quality of life, self-esteem, and mood in women with primary ovarian insufficiency
Low androgen levels occur in women with primary ovarian insufficiency(POI) and could contribute to mood and behavioral symptoms in this condition. We examined the effects of physiologic testosterone (T) replacement therapy added to standard estrogen/progestin replacement therapy (EPT) on quality of life, self-esteem, and mood in women with POI

Right atrial intramural hematoma associated with aortic dissection
A 75-year-old male presented with shortness of breath and abdominal pain; he had undergone coronary artery bypass graft surgery three months ago and had a history of coronary artery disease, hypertension, and end-stage renal disease. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed a right atrial mass. A computed axial tomography scan showed an atrial mass and type A aortic dissection. The patient sustained cardiorespiratory arrest and died. An autopsy showed an 8 cm atrial intramural hematoma originating from a dissecting aneurysm. This is the first case of right atrial intramural hematoma associated with aortic dissection exhibiting high mortality. Early diagnosis using multiple imaging modalities including magnetic resonance imaging and timely surgical intervention may improve survival. Intramural hematomas should be considered in patients presenting with right-sided cardiac lesions
Bone Mineral Density in Young Women With Primary Ovarian Insufficiency: Results of a Three-Year Randomized Controlled Trial of Physiological Transdermal Estradiol and Testosterone Replacement
Normalization of serum luteinizing hormone levels in women with 46,XX spontaneous primary ovarian insufficiency
Bone Mineral Density in Estrogen-Deficient Young Women
Context: Osteoporosis primarily affects postmenopausal women. However, young women with estrogen deficiency also are at increased risk for low bone density
