Oral complications are rare in women taking medications for postmenopausal osteoporosis, according to a study published in the Endocrine Society’s Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Down syndrome is the most common birth defect, occurring once in every 700 births. However, traditional non-invasive prenatal tests for the condition are unreliable or carry risks for the mother and fetus. Now, researchers have developed a sensitive new biosensor that could someday be used to detect fetal Down syndrome DNA in pregnant women’s blood. They report their results in the ACS journal Nano Letters.
When faced with painful gallstones, pregnant women should consider postponing surgical treatment until after childbirth, new Journal of the American College of Surgeons study results show.
The pill could be blurring your social judgement - but perhaps not enough so you'd notice. By challenging women to identify complex emotional expressions like pride or contempt, rather than basic ones like happiness or fear, scientists have revealed subtle changes in emotion recognition associated with oral contraceptive pill (OCP) use.

This study is the first to report a possible mechanism for the enhancement of Zika virus progression during pregnancy in an animal model.
A new study in mice reveals that omega-3s, a type of fat found in fish oil, reduces fetal and neonatal deaths, suggesting they could prevent some miscarriages in women.
Pregnant women face a much greater risk of having a fatal, but less common, type of stroke caused by bleeding into the brain, according to results of two studies presented by The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston (UTHealth) at the International Stroke Conference 2019.
Using a leading-edge technique, UC San Diego School of Medicine researchers defined the cell types in both newborn and adult human testes and identified biomarkers for spermatogonial stem cells, opening a path for new strategies to treat male infertility.
Kasey Buckles, Brian and Jeannelle Brady Associate Professor of economics at the University of Notre Dame, and her co-authors, Melanie Guldi at the University of Central Florida and Lucie Schmidt at Williams College, found that the number of births that were likely unintended has fallen 16 percent since 2007.

Women with risk factors for heart disease like diabetes and a family history need to begin a prevention plan in their 30s and 40s so they can get ahead of the disease when they hit menopause
One of the first large prospective studies of its kind reveals the potential—and limitations—of a new form of genetic testing in pregnancy.

A list of screening tests for women recommended by family medicine specialist Lili Ann Lustig, DO, of University Hospitals.
A collaboration of scientists including Professor Jean Patterson, Ph.D., of Texas Biomedical Research Institute, is working on a new way to detect Zika virus that will help guide clinicians in their treatment of patients with the disease. The test uses optofluidic chips to screen bodily fluids (blood, urine, semen) for the presence of the virus. This new approach will also help pinpoint the stage of the disease. Researchers at the University of California at Santa Cruz, Brigham Young University, and the University of California at Berkeley developed the technology being tested.
A multi-institutional research team will develop and evaluate a pregnancy-specified Artificial Pancreas
Loyola Medicine is participating in a landmark trial of a new radiation treatment for patients with glioblastoma. After the tumor is removed, a high, focused dose of radiation is delivered directly to the tumor cavity to kill any microscopic cancer cells left behind.
A 2018 Supreme Court case was framed as a debate over abortion rights, but a new analysis led by NYU College of Global Public Health published in the American Journal of Public Health finds that the Court was silent on one of the case’s key issues: deceptive speech.
CLEVELAND, Ohio (January 23, 2019)--It has been said that a good personality can help one succeed in life. But can it also guard against disease risk?

Results are published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
