Lait maternel humainLe 'lait maternel humain' est produit par le corps de la femme et permet d'alimenter un bébé. Il est produit par les glandes mammaires contenues dans les seins de la femme. En fonction de l'âge du bébé, on distingue trois types de lait : Le colostrum est produit par les seins dès le troisième trimestre de grossesse puis 2 à 3 jours après l'accouchement. Il contient une proportion importante (12 g/L) de sucres rares, les oligosaccharides. On en a dénombré plus de 130 espèces différentes.
Ménopause prématuréeLa ménopause prématurée ou insuffisance ovarienne primaire (IOP, aussi dénommée insuffisance ovarienne prématurée) est la perte partielle ou totale de la fonction reproductive et hormonale des ovaires avant l'âge de 40 ans, en raison d'un dysfonctionnement folliculaire (le follicule est la zone de production d'œufs) ou d'une perte précoce d'ovaires. L'IOP peut être considérée comme faisant partie d'un continuum de changements aboutissant à une ménopause anormalement précoce, passant par l'apparition de symptômes et le retour sporadique à une fonction ovarienne normale.
Pre-existing disease in pregnancyA pre-existing disease in pregnancy is a disease that is not directly caused by the pregnancy, in contrast to various complications of pregnancy, but which may become worse or be a potential risk to the pregnancy (such as causing pregnancy complications). A major component of this risk can result from necessary use of drugs in pregnancy to manage the disease. In such circumstances, women who wish to continue with a pregnancy require extra medical care, often from an interdisciplinary team.
Beginning of pregnancy controversyControversy over the beginning of pregnancy occurs in different contexts, particularly as it is discussed within the debate of abortion in the United States. Because an abortion is defined as ending an established pregnancy, rather than as destroying a fertilized egg, depending on when pregnancy is considered to begin, some methods of birth control as well as some methods of infertility treatment might be classified as causing abortions.
Corneal endotheliumThe corneal endothelium is a single layer of endothelial cells on the inner surface of the cornea. It faces the chamber formed between the cornea and the iris. The corneal endothelium are specialized, flattened, mitochondria-rich cells that line the posterior surface of the cornea and face the anterior chamber of the eye. The corneal endothelium governs fluid and solute transport across the posterior surface of the cornea and maintains the cornea in the slightly dehydrated state that is required for optical transparency.
Estrone (medication)Estrone (E1), sold under the brand names Estragyn, Kestrin, and Theelin among many others, is an estrogen medication and naturally occurring steroid hormone which has been used in menopausal hormone therapy and for other indications.

It can also be taken by mouth as estradiol/estrone/estriol (brand name Hormonin) and in the form of prodrugs like estropipate (estrone sulfate; brand name Ogen) and conjugated estrogens (mostly estrone sulfate; brand name Premarin).

Female body shapeFemale body shape or female figure is the cumulative product of a woman's bone structure along with the distribution of muscle and fat on the body. Female figures are typically narrower at the waist than at the bust and hips. The bust, waist, and hips are called inflection points, and the ratios of their circumferences are used to define basic body shapes. Reflecting the wide range of individual beliefs on what is best for physical health and what is preferred aesthetically, as well as disagreements on the social standing and purported "purpose" of women in society, there is no universally acknowledged ideal female body shape.
