Night sweats and sleep disruption are common menopause symptoms
HRT does not impact life expectancy — UK health body
LONDON — Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) does not shorten or lengthen the life expectancy of those taking it to ease menopause symptoms, says UK's health assessment body NICE in updated guidance.Its conclusion comes after a detailed analysis of data on links between HRT and conditions such as heart disease, stroke, some cancers and dementia.The guidance includes a new discussion aid to help GPs give patients the most useful information they can about the drugs and what they do.And it says talking therapy could be offered alongside HRT, to help women cope with symptoms.HRT replaces the hormones estrogen or progestogen, or both, when women's periods stop — normally between the ages of 45 and 55.It is administered using gels, creams, pessaries, tablets or sprays.In updated...

Sandy Duthie jumped at the chance when the lighthouse keeper job opened up
Scot gets dream job as lighthouse keeper on remote Australian island
EDINBURGH — A Scottish man has landed his "dream job" as a lighthouse keeper on a remote Australian island.Sandy Duthie, 42, jumped at the chance when the previous lighthouse keeper decided to retire after 25 years on Gabo Island, off the coast of Victoria.Sandy, from Aberdeenshire, visited Australia five years ago with his partner, and never left. When he went to the small lighthouse island he realised he would love to one day become part of its history.Landing the lighthouse keeper and island caretaker job means he is now spending six months of the year there — one month on and one month off — with a colony of penguins for company.Sandy hails from Kirkton of Durris, near Banchory.He studied ecology at the University of Aberdeen before becoming an arborist.He visited...

As people get richer in South East Asia, parents are increasingly turning to commercial food products to feed their babies
Hidden sugars in Asia’s baby food spark concerns
MANILA — Jennylyn M Barrios’ job as a make-up artist takes her all over Manila – precious time away from Uno, her 10-month-old son.There simply isn’t enough time in the day to make the homemade meals her growing baby needs. But in rapidly developing Philippines, there are increasingly options for busy, working mums like her.“If I need to make something from scratch, I need to work double time before I finish the product,” she explains.“But for Cerelac, I just need to add hot water and prepare the mix. I feed it three times a day – for breakfast, lunch, and then for dinner. It’s easy to feed, available, affordable – all great for working mums.”Jennylyn is one of many mums increasingly turning to commercially available baby food products in recent years: sales of...

Ne'Kiya Jackson, left, and Calcea Johnson have published an academic paper detailing how they proved Pythagoras' theorem
Students discover unexpected proof for 2,000-year-old mathematical theory
WASHINGTON — Louisiana students Ne’Kiya Jackson and Calcea Johnson wowed their teachers in 2022 when they discovered a new way to prove the 2000-year-old Pythagorean theorem in response to a bonus question in a high school math contest. But that was only the beginning.A volunteer at their former school, New Orleans’ St. Mary’s Academy, encouraged them to submit their work on the famous mathematical theory to a professional conference, and in March 2023 they became the youngest people to present at the American Mathematical Society’s Southeastern Sectional conference in Atlanta. Their appearance elicited a wave of media coverage, including a spot on “60 Minutes.” The pair also received symbolic keys to the city of New Orleans and a shout-out from Michelle Obama.Now Jackson and...

There are no pictures of the city but it had pyramid temples similar to this one in nearby Calakmul
Researcher finds lost city in Mexico jungle by accident
MEXICO CITY — A huge Mayan city has been discovered centuries after it disappeared under a jungle canopy in Mexico.Archaeologists found pyramids, sports fields, causeways connecting districts and amphitheaters in the southeastern state of Campeche.They found the hidden complex — which they have called Valeriana — using Lidar, a type of radar survey that maps structures buried under vegetation.They believe it is second in size only to Calakmul, thought to be the largest Mayan site in ancient Latin America.The discovery of the city, which is the size of Scotland's capital Edinburgh, was made “by accident” when one archaeologist browsed data on the internet.“I was on something like page 16 of Google search and found a radar survey done by a Mexican organization for...

Lost Silk Road cities discovered in Uzbek mountains
LONDON — Archeologists have found the remains of two medieval cities in the grassy mountains of eastern Uzbekistan, a discovery that could shift our understanding of the fabled Silk Road.Known for the exchange of goods and ideas between the East and West, the trade routes were long believed to have linked lowland cities.But using remote sensing technology, archeologists have now found at least two highland cities that sat along a key crossroad of the trade routes.One of the cities - Tugunbulak, a metropolis spanning at least 120 hectares - sat more than 2,000m (6,600 ft) above sea level, an altitude thought to be inhospitable even today."The history of Central Asia is now changing with this finding," said archaeologist Farhod Maksudov, who was part of the research team.The team...

In a warming Arctic, polar bears are spending more of their time on land
Polar bears face higher risk of disease in a warming Arctic
WASHINGTON — As the Arctic warms, polar bears face a growing risk of contracting viruses, bacteria and parasites that they were less likely to encounter just 30 years ago, research has revealed.In a study that has provided clues about how polar bear disease could be linked to ice loss, scientists examined blood samples from bears in the Chukchi Sea — between Alaska and Russia.They analyzed samples that had been gathered between 1987 and 1994, then collected and studied samples three decades later — between 2008 and 2017.The researchers found that significantly more of the recent blood samples contained chemical signals that bears had been infected with one of five viruses, bacteria or parasites.It is difficult to know, from blood samples, how the bears’ physical health was...
