From the ovarian sex steroids, the role of diminishing estrogen levels is questionable, since the levator ani muscle fibers do not express estrogen receptor alpha [ 2 26 ] . It is not known if estrogen receptor beta is expressed, but levator ani muscle fibers show nuclear expression of progesterone and androgen receptors [ 26 ] . Altered ovarian function in the premenopause can be observed as early as age 43 years, and includes hyperestrogenism and hypergonadotropism, accompanied by decreased progesterone secretion [ 27 ] . During the transition from pre- to postmenopause both estrogen and androgen levels also decline [ 28 ] . These hormonal alterations may well be responsible for the increased gynecological morbidity that characterizes this period of life, including structural and molecular changes in levator ani muscle and increasing incidence of pelvic floor disorders.
The only studies to perform repeated echocardiograms (separated by one year in both) in large numbers of unexposed persons found either no net progression or net regression in their control groups [ 24 25 ] . Because these studies did not report usable direct measures of incidence, we made several assumptions to estimate unexposed incidence using raw data from the Framingham study and from the studies reviewed here.

In patients undergoing conventional anticancer therapy without BMT, the data focusing on EBV, CMV or HHV-6 infection are scarcely documented and mostly reported as individual cases [ 16 17 18 19 ] . With combined diagnostic approach of serology and viral DNA detection we performed a prospective study of children undergoing non-BMT therapy for cancer to demostrate the incidence of LH infections.
A substantial body of published scientific literature recognizes a correlation between elevated fine particulate matter and increased incidence of illness and premature mortality.
