Menopause Is Finally Going Mainstream
Kathryn Clancy wrote an entire book about menstrual cycles. But even she was surprised by some of the pre-menopausal symptoms she recently began to experience at age 44.
“A lot of things that have to do with my uterus, ovaries, and breasts, I have been massively underprepared for as a Ph.D.-level expert in this field,” says Clancy, a professor at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. “That should tell you how even more underprepared most people are.”

NIH funds brain PET imaging technology
A group led by researchers at the University of Arizona has received a $4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop multitracer brain PET imaging technology.The technology could allow clinicians to detect multiple biomarkers at once and improve the spatial resolution of brain imaging for applications in cancer as well as neurodegenerative disease, according to principal investigator Lars Furenlid, PhD, a professor of medical imaging at the University of Arizona.In PET imaging, radiotracers that bind to specific disease targets are injected into the body and detected by PET cameras as the tracers...

A Surgeon General Report Once Cleared the Air About Smoking. Is It Time for One on Vaping?
NEW YORK — Sixty years ago, the U.S. surgeon general released a report that settled a longstanding public debate about the dangers of cigarettes and led to huge changes in smoking in America.
Today, some public health experts say a similar report could help clear the air about vaping.

Microplastics in Bottled Water At Least 10 Times Worse Than Once Thought
Pure, natural spring water, just as nature intended. Well, not exactly.
Bottled water has long been marketed as a safer alternative to what comes out of the tap—if it doesn’t come straight from a mountain spring, it’s at least purified and chemical free.
