As women age, their bodies go through a series of changes — many of which are natural parts of the aging process. One of the significant changes that occur in middle-aged women is related to their menstrual cycle. For many, this period of life can bring about heavier menstrual bleeding, which can be both physically and emotionally taxing. Understanding what a heavy period means for middle-aged women is essential for managing health and maintaining quality of life. In this article, we will explore the causes, implications and management strategies for heavy periods during middle age.

One of the most detailed studies yet has cemented the link between  autism and what dwells within the gut.
The new analysis hasn't just studied the bacteria native to the digestive tract, but the fungi, archaea, and  viruses that can be found there, too.



					
			

The team, led by researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, has developed a comprehensive assay that reveals a correlation between changes across the entire gut microbiome composition and diagnosis with  autism spectrum disorder.
While we still don't understand this link, the building evidence offers new ways to both diagnose and understand autism.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

A new study led by researchers at the American Cancer Society (ACS) finds four in 10 cancer cases and about one-half of all cancer deaths in adults 30 years old and older in the United States (or 713,340 cancer cases and 262,120 cancer deaths in 2019) could be attributed to modifiable risk factors, including cigarette smoking, excess body weight, alcohol consumption, physical inactivity, diet, and infections. Cigarette smoking was by far the leading risk factor, contributing to nearly 20% of all cancer cases and 30% of all cancer deaths. The findings are published today in the journal CA: A Cancer Journal for Clinicians.

A recent study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research has unveiled disruptions in the brain connectivity of males with cocaine use disorder. This study found that male individuals with cocaine use disorder exhibit increased and more persistent brain connectivity in specific states, particularly within the default mode network, cognitive control network, and sensorimotor network. This heightened connectivity is linked to greater impulsivity and borderline personality traits, suggesting disruptions in self-regulation and emotional processing.

The mantis shrimp is one tough customer. Beautiful and deadly are two words you don’t typically use to describe shrimp, but the mantis shrimp is definitely in a class of its own; earning a reputation as the ‘savage boxer of the sea’ and one of the most fearsome creatures in the ocean. And, they're right at home here in South Carolina.
