We expect that over a period of 6 years, 500 older hypertensive women will be screened, 200 of them will be enrolled, and 100 will complete the entire project.
Aim 1: To test the hypothesis that chronic heat therapy combined with an antihypertensive drug is superior to drug treatment alone in

PROJECT TITLE: Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Growth Hormone Deficiency Following Transsphenoidal Surgery for Nonsecreting Pituitary Adenomas.
BACKGROUND Recently, an awareness of the risks of hypopituitarism in adults has been raised by epidemiological studies demonstrating its
OBJECTIVES:
- To assess the effect of rosiglitazone maleate on the core biochemical parameter, 24-hour urinary free cortisol levels, in patients with recurrent or uncured pituitary-dependent Cushing disease. (Group 1)
- To assess the effect of this drug on corticotropin-releasing hormone-stimulated
SCD is an inherited blood disorder. Symptoms include anemia, infections, organ damage, and intense episodes of pain that are called "sickle cell crises." SCD is caused by an abnormal type of hemoglobin, which is a protein inside red blood cells that carries oxygen. In people with SCD, the abnormal
