The Hidden Struggles of Menopause: A Woman’s Candid Experience

The Hidden Struggles of Menopause: A Personal Journey

“For me, I started having symptoms when I was in my mid-to-late 30s. The first symptoms were night sweats, and then it was radical mood swings followed by bouts of unprovoked rage. My whole perimenopause experience was miserable. I can’t identify one worst symptom because I had so many, but I would say the relentless insomnia is the one that nearly broke me.”

“I finally finished the menopause process at age 57 1/2. For about 18 months after my final period, I could still tell you exactly when my period would have been in those months because I still got mild cramps, low mood, and fatigue. Post-menopause, weight gain has been a constant issue. I’ve always carried extra weight in my butt and thighs (classic pear shape), but menopause has changed my body shape, and now I have abdominal fat that I never carried before. Also, I always had minimal body hair and never any facial hair like a mustache or whatever. I plucked my eyebrows a few times as a teen and never again because the hair never came back. Early in perimenopause, all of my body hair below my neck went away.

I would get the occasional random single hair on a shin, but otherwise, no hair on my arms or legs. Post menopause, it now seems i’m growing sideburns.”

Vienna (OTS/SK) 23 years ago today, on April 2, 2001, Black-Blue I decided to introduce ambulance fees in the National Council. “The ambulance fees are an example of the anti-social and inhumane policies of the ÖVP and FPÖ.

RSV vaccine reduces hospital admissions by 82%

Public healthcare is the set of initiatives organized by the public administration to preserve, protect and promote the health of the population. From the Territorial Health Service, in the last Area Health Council held recently, the situation of the incidence of acute respiratory infections, the 2023-2024 vaccination campaign against influenza and covid-19 and the activities and services developed during the the year 2023.

The incidence rate of acute respiratory infections as a whole (week 11/24) has stabilized in recent weeks at around 700 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. No noteworthy flu activity (2 cases per 100,000) or covid-19 (10 cases per 100,000).

In the 2023-2024 vaccination campaign against influenza and covid-19, as of March 11, 2024, 46,319 influenza vaccinations were registered, with a vaccination coverage of 38% in children under 5 years of age, 11% in those under 60 years of age , 62% among those aged 60 and over and 70% among those aged 65 and over. As of March 8, 2024, 34,123 covid-19 vaccines have been registered, with vaccination coverage of 24% in those aged 12 and over and 51% in those aged 60 and over.

Innovative Strategies to Combat Obesity and Diabetes: The Importance of Lifestyle Habits

At today’s symposium on “Innovation to Redefine the Treatment and Management of Cardiometabolic Diseases”, Professor Lim Soo of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital said the most effective way to reduce obesity and diabetes is improve lifestyle habits.

[현대건강신문=여혜숙 기자] A warning has been issued: we must prepare for the increase in cardiovascular disease complications due to diabetes, which is called a national disease, and obesity, which has recently been rapidly increasing.

The Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Institute for Healthcare Industry Development organized “Novo Nordisk Partnering DayTM- Korea 2024” at El Tower in Seoul on the 4th.

At today’s symposium on “Innovation to Redefine the Treatment and Management of Cardiometabolic Diseases”, Professor Lim Soo of Seoul National University Bundang Hospital said the most effective way to reduce obesity and diabetes is improve lifestyle habits.

Professor Lim, who presented on “Unmet Medical Needs for the Management of Cardiometabolic Diseases”, highlighted that the prevalence of obesity and diabetes is increasing significantly in Korea, largely due to the poor environment and unhealthy lifestyle habits.

In particular, the main reasons for the increase in obesity and diabetes were the increase in consumption of sugary drinks, changes in eating habits such as high-fat diets and the decrease in physical exercise due to changes in living environment.

Professor Lim said: “Consumption of sugary drinks and a high-fat diet have been fou

Longevity is not (just) a thing for the rich. Doctor Ongaro: “My method studied for ESA astronauts available for everyone in the pharmacy”

The business of longevity is not just for the rich, as advancements in medicine and technology have made it more accessible to the general public. Doctor Filippo Ongaro, a pioneer in anti-aging medicine and functional medicine, has developed the “Ongaro method” to promote healthy longevity for everyone.

Ongaro, who previously worked as a crew doctor for the European Space Agency, has applied his research on the accelerated aging process experienced by astronauts to develop strategies and tools for healthy

You are cold? It’s all the protein’s fault

In winter we blame the cold, in summer we curse the heat. Cold and heat, two perceptions, individual and opposing. But it is also the result of a complex mechanism of which a further detail is now known: the protein that allows mammals to sense the cold has been identified.
The authors of the discovery were researchers from the University of Michigan who, coordinated by the neuroscientist Shawn Xu, professor of the Sciences Institute, published the results on Nature Neuroscience. This could be the key to deciphering the mechanism by which we perceive the cold in winter and, also, to understanding the reason why some patients, in particular pathological conditions, feel it differently. The protein with the acronym GluK2 (Glutamate ionotropic receptor kainate type subunit 2) has already been renamed “cold sensor” because it allows us to perceive temperatures below 15 degrees.

Sleep, ice and floating: this is how champions recover from fatigue

by Elvira Naselli

The experiment in the laboratory

“Temperature sensors were identified over 20 years ago – explains Shawn Xu – with the discovery of a heat-sensitive protein, Trpv1. Then, thanks to subsequent studies, proteins that detect hot, warm and even cold, but we were unable to confirm the one which detects temperatures below 60° Fahrenheit (15° centigrade)”.
The research involved a mouse model, but, the authors point out, even if mice respond normally to heat and stimuli, “they show a deficit in detecting cold but not very cold temperatures”.

In a worm many answers

The story starts from a 2019 study, when in Xu’s laboratory the first cold-sensing receptor protein was identified in a worm just one millimeter long, Caenorhabditis elegans, used as a model to understand sensory responses. GluK2 is found mainly on the neurons of the brain, from which the chemical signals suitable for communication between the neurons themselves arrive. Mainly but not only, given that the protein is also expressed in sensory neurons of the peripheral nervous system (i.e. outside the brain and spinal cord).

Preventing HPV Transmission: Importance of Washing Hands Before Using the Toilet

2024-04-04 04:00:00

Washing hands after using the toilet is a well-known hygiene habit to reduce the risk of spreading viruses, bacteria, and fecal contamination. However, some doctors remind that the human papillomavirus (HPV virus for short), which increases the risk of cervical cancer, may also be contracted through finger contact, so it is best to wash your hands before going to the toilet. If you do not form a habit, the virus may be transmitted. If you give it to a female partner, you may be infected with the HPV virus that can cause cervical cancer!

Do you wash your hands before peeing?You may be infected with HPV by touching doorknob germs

Zheng Chengjie, director of Taipei Xiu Chuan Hospital and an obstetrician and gynecologist, shared in an interview with the media that the HPV virus may be transmitted through hand contact. The doorknob of the toilet contains a lot of germs, and some of them may be hidden there. with HPV virus.

When a boy touches the toilet door handle and touches the HPV virus, and then holds his genitals to urinate, he may be infected with the HPV virus and transmit it to his female partner again through close contact. Dr. Zheng Chengjie explained that even if there is no intimate connection, the virus may still infect the cervix if you just caress the female partner’s lower body and have finger intercourse. When teaching students in medical school, he would repeatedly emphasize the importance of washing hands before and after urinating.
