Some Symptoms of Dysfunction and Quality of Life Among Menopausal Women: A Community-Based Study in A Rural Area of Thai Binh


During menopause transitions, fluctuate hormone levels make menopausal women susceptible to mental and physical disorders that affect their quality of life. Research on menopause-related problems, especially among rural women, are also lacking. With that sense, research is aimed at investigating some signs of dysfunction and quality of life in menopausal women. A cross-sectional study was performed on 296 menopausal women aged 45-60 in 2 communes Tan Phong, Tan Hoa, Vu Thu district, Thai Binh province. Data was collected with 2 study tools: The Menopause Rating Scale (MRS) scale and the World health organization quality of life questionnaire (WHOQOL-BREF). 

68.2% of women participating in the study has mild-moderate, severe-very severe symptoms 7.4% and 24.3% of women has no menopausal symptoms. The average score of the QOL is 66.0±8.4. The highest quality score in the field of environment is 21.5±3.7, the lowest is in the field of social relations with 8.7±2.1. Conclusion: Menopause causes physical, mental and urogenital problems. Almost all domains evaluated were impaired in menopausal women and affect their quality of life. Education, creating awareness and providing suitable intervention to improve the QOL of menopausal women are important at both the individual and community level.

Menopause is a condition in which a woman ceases menstruation due to exhaustion of her ovaries, which are no longer receptive to gonadotropic hormone stimulation, and as a result, she no longer secretes enough sex hormones. A woman can no longer become pregnant after menopause. Menopause is the end of menstruation and the secondary amenorrhea, which is caused by a natural and irreversible reduction in ovarian function. Menopause occurs at an average age of 45-50.

 Lateral Rock Characteristic Evidence of Hydrocarbon Restoration from Post-Stack Impedance Inversion: A Case Study of ZED-field Offshore Niger Delta Lateral predictions of rock properties that are descriptive of a reservoir have been studied using a model-established seismic inversion approach that was used to convert input seismic data into an acoustic impedance structure to optimize hydrocarbon restoration in the field. This was actualized by integrating wireline logs and 3D post stack seismic data procured from ZED-Field offshore Niger Delta. The inversion system employed in this study comprises of forward modelling of reflection coefficients starting with a low-frequency impedance model induced from well logs and convolution of the reflection coefficients with the source wavelet extracted from the seismic input. P-impedance analysis at reservoir C5000 delineated from the control well gave a near perfect correlation of 0.998109 (≈ 99.8 %) between the original P-impedance log, in...

Prediction of Ionic Liquids Methane Hydrate Average Depression Temperature via COSMO-RS COSMO-RS is a tool used to pre-screen and pair ionic liquids for gas hydrate mitigation. However, the ionic liquids properties estimated from COSMO-RS lack direct connectivity to the determination of the safety margin (hydrate depression temperature) the inhibitor can alter on the hydrate phase boundary conditions. In this study, a parametric function that relates COSMO-RS estimated ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energies to the methane hydrate average depression temperature (∆T) have been presented. The statistical model in this study was developed using multiple linear regression techniques on about 90 data samples at 10 wt.% ionic liquids. The developed model in this work accurately predicts the methane hydrate average depression temperature with standard error of 3.14 and average deviation error of 0.92. Also, the ionic liquid surface area and hydrogen bonding energy contribute t...

 How to Treat Cancer Properly Cancer is one of the deadliest diseases in the world, chemotherapy is effective under some conditions, but has too heavy side effects, and it is not effective to a considerable proportion of cases while the side effects are often life-threatening, drugs (not unhealthy addictive drugs mentioned in reference four, the drug in reference four only mean those makes people addictive but does no good to health, destroying health quickly) are not always available to improve the condition. However, sport is a potential treatment that is effective to cancer before the cancer is disseminated, this gets little attention but is true both in theory and practice. The physical activities that have moderate intensity and duration should have devastating effects on cancer cells, they make the body hot and reduce the nutritional resources that cancer cells can get, also renew the proteins in the body and improve one’s mood, cancer cells are hard to live when one is activ...
