Aptitlöshet är ett brett begrepp som kan vara olika för varje person, men definieras generellt som att man inte har samma lust att äta som man brukar. Den här förändringen kan komma plötsligt och orsakas av något uppenbart, som en mage, eller så kan det bero på ett antal saker som är mindre direkta.

Om du har tappat aptiten kan du få oavsiktlig viktminskning, en allmän hungerförlust och du kan känna dig illamående vid tanken på att äta mat.

Är aptitlöshet normalt?

Kortvarig förlust är vanligt när man bekämpar infektioner eller i tider av plötslig stress. Men längre perioder av oförklarlig förlust kan indikera ett allvarligare hälsotillstånd och bör diskuteras med en läkare.

Vanliga orsaker till aptitlöshet

Det kan vara tillfälligt eller långvarigt beroende på orsaken. Här är de vanligaste orsakerna att överväga.

Ciertos medicin

Du kan tappa aptiten medan du bekämpar en infektion, och vissa mediciner kan förvärra symtomen. Mediciner som digoxin, fluoxetin, kinidin och hydralazin kan orsaka aptitlöshet hos vissa människor.

Det är alltid viktigt att diskutera plötsliga förändringar i aptit, särskilt om de är långvariga och orsakar oönskad viktminskning, med din läkare. Dina

Accessible, authoritative advice from the creators of the award-winning KidsHealth website

PROGRAM: Envisioning the Later Phase of Your Career: Using the Past to Inform the Future --
a FOCUS program opportunity for senior women faculty

Approaching the last 5-10 years of a career in academic medicine offers an opportunity to develop a future with new rewards and fulfillment. It can, however, be challenging to allow yourself the time to pause and focus on developing a vision that takes full advantage of your accomplishments while pruning responsibilities that are no longer energizing.  Using self-reflection and peer group work to advance each participant’s unique vision for their own career/life trajectory, participants explore pathways for creating the most rewarding, productive and enriching paths forward.  Through a series of small cohort-based workshops, each participant is guided in developing a personalized plan for the next phase of life/career. Participants are encouraged to reflect on their past accomplishments and challenges, strengths and weaknesses, current goals, values, realities and opportunities.  There are exercises at each session, and homework between sessions, to explore and experiment with potential opportunities for reinvigoration.

Abstract

Background:

Feminizing hormonal therapy (FHT) and HIV potentially alter cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in transgender women (TW).

Methods:

TW were enrolled in Los Angeles, CA and Houston, TX and frequency-matched to Multicenter AIDS Cohort Study cisgender men (CM) on age, race, substance use and abacavir use. Biomarkers of CVD risk and inflammation were assessed via ELISA. Wilcoxon rank sum and Fisher’s exact tests compared TW and CM. Multivariable linear regression assessed factors associated with biomarker concentrations.

Results:

TW (HIV+ n=75, HIV− n=47) and CM (HIV+ n=40, HIV− n=40) had mean age 43–45 years; TW/CM were 90%/91% non-Hispanic Black, Hispanic, or Multi-racial, 26%/53% obese, and 34%/24% current smokers; 67% of TW were on FHT. Among PLWH, TW had higher median extracellular newly-identified receptor for advanced glycation end-products (EN-RAGE), lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2 (LpPLA2), oxidized LDL (oxLDL), soluble TNF receptor type (sTNFR) I/II, interleukin (IL)-8 and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI)-1, but lower soluble CD14, von Willebrand factor (vWF) and endothelin (ET)-1 levels than CM. Findings were similar for participants without HIV (all p<0.05). In multivariable analysis, TW had higher EN-RAGE, IL-6, IL-8, P selectin, PAI-1, oxLDL and sTNFRI/II concentrations, and lower vWF, independent of HIV serostatus and current FHT use. Both being a TW and a PLWH were associated with lower ET-1.

Conclusions:

Compared to matched cisgender men, trans women have altered profiles of biomarkers associated with systemic inflammation and CVD. Further work is needed to decipher the contributions of FHT to CVD risk in TW with HIV.
