Intra Ovarian Muse Cell Injection for Perimenopause Symptom Relief and Ovarian Function Restoration (MUSE-OVARY)

This observational study examines the safety and effects of injecting Muse cells (a type of naturally occurring stem like cells found in adult tissues such as fat or bone marrow) directly into the ovaries of women aged 28 to 70 who are going through peri-menopause. Perimenopause is the transition time before menopause when hormone levels fluctuate, periods become irregular, and many women experience symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, sleep problems, mood changes, and reduced energy. Current treatments mainly manage symptoms but do not restore natural ovarian function. Muse cells have special properties: they can help repair tissues, reduce inflammation, support cell energy production, and promote a healthier environment in the ovaries. In this study, women who choose to receive ultrasound guided Muse cell injections into their ovaries as part of their own regenerative care will be carefully followed. Researchers will monitor safety, hormone levels (such as FSH, estrogen, and AMH), ovarian follicle counts via ultrasound, menstrual patterns, and quality of life improvements using questionnaires. The study does not assign treatment - participants and their doctors decide on the procedure, and information is collected in a standardized way over 24 months (with longer safety follow-up). The goal is to gather real world data on whether this approach can help stabilize hormones and support ovarian tissue during perimenopause. No placebos or experimental drugs are used in this observational study.

Proof-of-Concept Trial to Assess the Efficacy and Safety of Fezolinetant in Improving Vasomotor Symptoms in Men With Prostate Cancer Undergoing Androgen Deprivation Therapy

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if fezolinetant can treat hot flashes (vasomotor symptoms) in men with prostate cancer undergoing androgen deprivation therapy. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does fezolinetant improve the frequency and severity of hot flashes? * Does fezolinetant cause any harm to the liver? * Does fezolinetant improve quality of life, sleep quality, fatigue, mood, sexual function, and metabolic parameters? Researchers will compare how people respond to fezolinetant versus a placebo, which does not contain any active medicine. Participants will: * Take fezolinetant or a placebo every day for 4 weeks * Visit the clinic once every 2 weeks for checkups and tests * Keep a diary of the number of times and intensity that they experience hot flashes

Impact of Lean Pork on Endothelial Function in Perimenopause

The goal of this study is to examine the impact of a diet high in fresh lean pork, compared to a plant-based diet, on cardiovascular function and vasomotor symptoms in perimenopausal women with overweight and obesity. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. How does a diet high in pork, compared to a plant-based diet, affects blood lipids, endothelial function, and blood pressure? 2. How does a diet high in pork, compared to a plant-based diet, affects blood nitrate, cardiometabolic biomarkers, inflammatory biomarkers, and vasomotor symptoms? Researchers will compare the diet high in pork to a plant-based diet to see if pork helps improve cardiovascular and mesopause symptoms. Participants will: * Consume both of the diets, each for 4 weeks, with a washout period between 2 and 6 weeks in between the diets trials * Visit the clinic 5 times with weekly meal pick ups during the diet trials * Undergo testing procedures including: weight and body composition, blood pressure and pulse, endothelial function using ultrasound of upper arm, microvascular blood flow, blood draws, physical activity measurements, and questionnaires.
