Yet a new study published in the Journal of Behavioral Health Services and Research found that more than 65 percent of working moms with depression don't get adequate treatment.http://www.mainlinehealth.org/diw/gspodcasts/1002wh.mp3Fri, 15 Jan 2010 10:52:28 ESThttp://www.mainlinehealth.org/diw/gspodcasts/1001wh.mp3We've come a long way since women's pelvic conditions were dismissed with a blush as "female troubles." Or have we? A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) found that pelvic problems plague nearly one in four women older than age 20. But all too often women put off calling their doctors for these conditions.http://www.mainlinehealth.org/diw/gspodcasts/1001wh.mp3Tue, 15 Dec 2009 15:41:24 ESThttp://www.mainlinehealth.org/diw/gspodcasts/0912wh.mp3Findings from a new study published in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association suggest that women with metabolic syndrome are at greater risk for peripheral artery disease (PAD), a condition that can lead to heart disease and stroke.http://www.mainlinehealth.org/diw/gspodcasts/0912wh.mp3Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:58:28 ESThttp://www.mainlinehealth.org/diw/gspodcasts/0911wh.mp3Research has shown that obesity increases risk for asthma in adults, especially for women.

But a new study from the journal Cancer found that saving the uterus or one ovary of a young woman with early-stage ovarian cancer can preserve her fertility without compromising survival. This is good news for the 17 percent of U.S. women diagnosed with ovarian cancer at age 40 or younger.http://www.mainlinehealth.org/diw/gspodcasts/0910wh.mp3Tue, 15 Sep 2009 09:58:27 ESThttp://www.mainlinehealth.org/diw/gspodcasts/0909wh.mp3A new study shows that women diagnosed with non-small cell lung cancer may have a higher risk for dying if they use estrogen plus progestin hormone replacement therapy (HRT).
