Is combination of caregiving stress and hormone replacement therapy associated with prolonged platelet activation to acute stress among postmenopausal women?
Chronic dementia caregiving stress in combination with HRT may impair recovery of platelet activation after acute mental stress (i.e., activation levels do not quickly return to resting levels), thereby potentially increasing cardiovascular risk among CG who take HRT.
The single-operator method for DBE was as efficient as the dual-operator DBE without any higher risk of complications and, therefore, could replace the conventional dual-operator method in the future.
