    In Tennessee, our legislators this session have promoted and pushed bills to intimidate women seeking abortions and terrorize their doctors, to enact restrictions on abortion providers in the name of “safety” that have nothing to do with women’s actual safety, to subject women and other welfare recipients to needless drug tests rooted in racism and classism, and to potentially violate the privacy and even make criminals of women who are victims of crime or who have miscarriages. All over the country, it’s the same story. Instead of working to improve education, the…

  • Powerful function of single protein that controls neurotransmission discovered

    ScienceDaily: Women's Health News
    13 May 2012 | 1:45 pm
    Scientists have discovered that the single protein -- alpha 2 delta -- exerts a spigot-like function, controlling the volume of neurotransmitters and other chemicals that flow between the synapses of brain neurons. The study shows how brain cells talk to each other through these signals, relaying thoughts, feelings and action, and this powerful molecule plays a crucial role in regulating effective communication.

  • Welcome to Tennessee – Try Not to Be a Woman While You’re Here

    Rachel
    15 Apr 2012 | 10:47 am
    The last few weeks have seen Tennessee on several “worst of” lists for women. The popular iVillage ranked us #40 among the “worst states for women” – for our lower rates of college degree completion, lower earnings, low levels of representation of women in state government, poor health, attacks on women’s rights, and other factors. This week, Forbes named Knoxville, TN (home of Stacey Campfield) #3 in its list of Most Unfair Cities To Be A Working Woman because of disparities in pay between men and women. And I missed this last month, but the blogger at…

  • An Update on Tennessee’s HB 3808, Another Legislative Attempt to Limit Access to Abortion

    Rachel
    8 Apr 2012 | 12:03 pm
    HB 3808, the so-called “Life Defense Act,” would have threatened the safety of women and abortion providers by releasing identifying information and potentially making them targets for anti-abortion extremists. The bill has since been amended and passed in the House, and is currently on the Senate Judiciary Committee calendar for the coming week, April 10. Tennessee folks, write your state Senators now. The bill was amended by removing the requirements related to collecting and releasing information on the women getting abortions and their providers. However, it has the following,…

  • An Open Letter on HB 3808, a Tennessee Bill to Intimidate Patients and Abortion Providers

    20 Mar 2012 | 11:30 am
    Here’s the letter I’m sending to relevant politicians in Tennessee regarding a bill to collect very specific abortion data, with little consequence for those who disclose it illegally, and creating targets for violence out of women, their children and spouses, and providers, their families, coworkers, and other patients. I am writing to express my opposition to HB 3808, the so-called “Life Defense Act,” which requires the collection and reporting of detailed data about women having abortions and their providers. Data is already collected about the number of abortions…

  • Molecule found that inhibits estrogen, key risk factor for endometrial and breast cancers

    9 May 2012 | 11:36 am
    Researchers have discovered a molecule that inhibits the action of estrogen. This female hormone plays a key role in the growth, maintenance and repair of reproductive tissues and fuels the development of endometrial and breast cancers. The molecule, discovered in animal studies, could lead to new therapies for preventing and treating estrogen-related diseases in humans.

  • Long-term Use of Bisphosphonates Not Helpful for Most Women

    Rachel
    15 May 2012 | 9:43 am
    Last week, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) published a perspective piece on the long-term use of bisphosphonates for reducing bone fracture risk in the New England Journal of Medicine, describing findings from the agency’s September 2011 review of these drugs. The agency had reviewed data from a few studies on longer term (>3 years) use of the drugs, including whether they increased bone mineral density and decreased bone fractures. We wrote about that review in more detail here. Essentially, the agency reported that long-term safety of these drugs was still something…

  • What Mothers Really Want: Right to Care for Family Members and Selves

    OBOS
    13 May 2012 | 9:00 am
    by Ellen Bravo My favorite Mother’s day gifts from my sons were their original stories, songs and poems. But what I needed when they were infants and toddlers was something children can’t deliver: affordable time off when they were born and when they were sick. So for all those candidates and elected officials interested in the women’s vote and eager to prove their support for motherhood and families, here’s a sampling of what mothers want and need, not just one day a year but every day: The right to care for a sick child or personal illness without losing our…

  • New CDC Report Finds Trends Toward More, Better Contraceptive Use Among Sexually Active Teen Girls

    Rachel
    9 May 2012 | 3:06 pm
    The CDC recently released a report on sexual experience and birth control use among female teenagers in the United States. The agency used data from the National Survey of Family Growth for 1995, 2002, and 2006-2010 to look at sexual activity and birth control use among girls ages 15-19. The percentage of teen girls who reported that they had never had vaginal intercourse rose from 48.9% in 1995 to 56.7% in the 2006-2010 period. Of the girls who had had sex in the month before the interview, 59.8% used a highly effective contraceptive method (IUD or hormonal contraception), 16.3% used a…

    For years scientists have searched for a magical ingredient that would help people shed fat. In 2008, Dr. Shalamar Sibley of the University of Minnesota put 38 obese people on an 11-week diet where they consumed 750 calories less than their estimated daily need. Study participants whose blood levels of D were higher at the study's start lost more weight than participants whose blood levels of D were lower. They actually lost a lot more—70 percent more, to be exact. Based on the results of this study, by fueling your body with the D-rich nutrients it needs to stay out of a fat-storage…

  • Preventing Heart Disease in Women

    30 Dec 2011 | 6:00 pm
    By Mari Cartel, Lifescript Entertainment Editor Do you understand the causes and symptoms of heart disease in women? Probably not – and what you don’t know could hurt you, says renowned cardiologist C. Noel Bairey Merz, M.D. In an exclusive Lifescript interview, she explains that because most heart research has been done on men, you could have a heart attack and not even realize it… If you had chest pains, you’d probably guess right away you were having a heart attack.

Birth control pills are one good choice because they contain very low levels of estrogen, though you may need more insulin because the hormones might make you a bit more insulin resistant. Two types of birth control pills exist – those with a combination of the hormones estrogen and progestin, and those with progestin only. A combination pill that contains norgestinate and a synthetic estrogen is more likely to cause changes in blood glucose control, so a…

Transient Human Papillomavirus (HPV) infections are common (80% of people) and associated low-grade pre-cancer is high.  Most of these will lesions will regress within 1 to 2 years.

    Osteoporosis is a condition that affects women and causes the bones to become porous and thin. It is a serious and painful disease that will make your bones weak and brittle over time. There are little to no symptoms early in the disease and by the time symptoms begin presenting themselves, the disease may have already progressed. That’s why it is important to have bone density screenings before you start to suffer from the discomforts of bone pain and tenderness, lower back pain or neck pain, fractures with little impact, a stooped posture and a loss in height.

    6 Adsense Advert Code This might seem like a strange question to ask on a website about hysterectomy but, in fact, it’s highly appropriate. When I founded the Hysterectomy Association over 15 years ago the biggest complaint that most women had about their experience was the lack of information to help them make an ‘informed choice’ about their health and their bodies. It is a sad, but true, fact that this complaint is STILL the most common one made by women. In the original research I talked about the NHS here in the UK and their commitment through what is called ‘The…

  • Fibroids, Hysterectomy and Facing the Fear: Miranda’s Story

    6 Adsense Advert Code I just wanted to say a big thank you for all the hints, tips, website and personal responses to my emails.  I can’t tell you how well supported I have felt throughout what was a very harrowing lead up to my op.  You may remember I had fought this op for 3 years and was terrified, so much so I had felt like doing something really stupid.  I am 47 and had fibroids the size of cricket balls. I had my op as planned on 3rd April at 5pm and was back out in Recovery at 7:15pm.  My surgeon said the uterus was monstrous and he didn’t know how I had coped with it…

  • According to Swedish researchers – early menopause linked to fracture risk

    Linda PH
    1 May 2012 | 9:00 am
    6 Adsense Advert Code Researchers in Sweden have reported that undergoing the menopause before the age of 47 can result in an increased risk of both mortality and fractures at the age of 77. They followed 390 women who had their bone mineral density measured at the age of 48 and again at 77. The team also collected data on mortality rates and the number of fractures until the women reached the age of 82. The researchers noted whether the women had gone through the menopause at the time of their original study defining it at 12 months continuously without a period (bleed); they were then…

  • Clot risk of contraceptive patch examined

    11 May 2012 | 11:55 am
    Conclusion This large study provides valuable information on the rate of VTE that may be experienced among users of hormonal contraception. However, the findings are not completely surprising. Oestrogen-containing hormonal contraceptives are already known to increase the risk of VTE, and medical professionals already consider this potential side effect when prescribing contraception and monitoring patients. Instead of revealing some new or major danger, this study provides a good indication of how the risks compare for a variety of different contraceptive methods. The oestrogen-containing…

    9 May 2012 | 10:00 pm
    Uterine arteriovenous malformation and arteriovenous fistula are rare vascular lesions that have only recently been described in literature. They are two differentials in reproductive-age women with acute onset of abnormal vaginal bleeding. The sonographic and clinical presentation of these two pathologies can be both varied in appearance and impossible to distinguish from each other. However, a detailed history along with specific sonographic investigation using color and pulse-wave Doppler, as well as a transvaginal scanning technique, can lead to strong suspicion of these vascular…

  • The link between endometriosis and clear cell carcinoma ovarian cancer?

    9 May 2012 | 10:02 am
    6 Adsense Advert Code Endometriosis is a common disease amongst women and is thought to occur in between 7 and 10% of the female population. And whilst it is known that the vast majority of these women will never go on to develop any form of cancer, the work that has been done recently in demonstrating a link between endometriosis and particular types of ovarian cancer could provide an easier way to provide the necessary screening for a disease which is notoriously difficult to diagnose. A team of researchers from Ovarian Cancer Association Consortium (OCAC) have recently revisited a set of…

  • Halofuginone prevents estrogen‐deficient osteoporosis in mice

    11 May 2012 | 10:11 pm
    AbstractOsteoporosis is characterized by enhanced activity of osteoclasts relative to that of osteoblasts. Thus, the principal means of treating the most common form of osteoporosis, namely that attending menopause, is inhibition of osteoclast formation or function. We have demonstrated that the inflammatory cytokine, IL‐17, mediates estrogen‐deficient osteoporosis, in mice, and that genetic blockade of its function prevents ovariectomy‐induced bone loss. We herein report that the febrifugine derivative, halofuginone, a small molecule drug, reduces abundance of Th‐17 cells in mice and…

A postmenopausal woman has an approximately 50% lifetime risk of suffering an osteoporotic fracture with hip fractures carrying the highest morbidity and mortality. Non-pharmacological prevention strategies focus on attainment and maintenance of a high peak bone mass and include a healthy lifestyle, nutritious and balanced diet, maintenance of optimal vitamin D level and physical exercise with skeletal mechanical loading. Pharmacological interventions include hormone replacement therapy in women with early menopause…

    is a fast paced environment that provides a push for innovation, creativity and intensity. With intensity comes the need to pause. The reason you need to pause is that the body and mind are designed to function optimally when they have gaps, pauses, breaks, time-outs or whatever you’ll call them. If the body and brain do not get this then it begins a rapid sequence of breaking down. First the energy breaks down and when the energy breaks down the body will have the tendency to get sick more easily. Second the brain loses its elasticity. Often it seems the rebels are young and…

Our chatter with the store clerks is fleeting. The emails we send are filled with our wants, needs, desires and demands. Where is the communication that is filled with goodness and intention? We say our intention is to communicate with love and kindness, but is that really true? If that were so true then our own inner voices would be much kinder and loving. The thought towards someone who is homeless would be of gratitude that they have the…

    Hyperparathyroidism is an excessive production of the parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid glands. The parathyroid glands are found in the neck and are attached to the back part of the thyroid gland. They produce the parathyroid hormone which is the one that controls the phosphorus, calcium and the Vitamin D levels in the blood and also the bone. When the levels of calcium are too low the body would react by increasing the content of parathyroid hormone. This increase causes more calcium to be absorbed by the bone and also the kidneys and intestines. When the level of calcium returns to…

  • Behind the Counter in the UK

    Margaret Polaneczky, MD
    4 May 2012 | 8:17 am
      While waiting at Heathrow for our flight home from London, my mother in law Irene, recalling the turbulence on our ride over, decided to get herself something for motion sickness. Off we headed to the airport pharmacy, where we discovered that motion sickness drugs are sold behind the counter in the UK, along with cough and cold syrup, paracematol (Tylenol) and many other drugs that we Yanks can scoop up freely from the pharmacy shelves here in the USA. Upon questioning Irene about her health and other medications she was taking, the cheerful and helpful pharmacy tech called over the…

  • Asparagus with Mustard Vinaigrette

    Margaret Polaneczky, MD
    3 May 2012 | 8:16 pm
    A quick post and pic for a quick and delicious asparagus recipe from yesterday’s New York Times. Perfect for using the chives that have had their annual rebirth in my terrace garden. We added some sliced avocado, otherwise made it as written. The gorgeous thin spring asparagus are from Fairway.  We had enough vinaigrette leftover to use tomorrow in something else – I’m thinking of trying it with chopped eggs as an enlightened egg salad.  

  • April in London (Part 4) – Shakespeare ‘s Birthday Tour

    Margaret Polaneczky, MD
    2 May 2012 | 10:35 pm
    By sheer coincidence, our visit to see my daughter during her semester studying Shakespeare at RADA occurred during the week of the Bard’s birthday, making her class production of All’s Well That Ends Well seem even more special than it already was for us. Even more coincidental was the fact that we had tickets to see King John in Stratford-Upon-Avon on the day that town was celebrating their most famous son, and chanced upon the Globe Theater’s birthday celebration the following day while heading to the Tate Modern! If we had joined a Shakespeare’s Birthday Tour group…

    Margaret Polaneczky, MD
    1 May 2012 | 7:46 am
    It’s not Portobello Road, but it’ll have to do for this trip. On other days Old Spitalfields Market is a mix of new, crafted and retro chic in the midst of a neighborhood known for its trendy shops – a destination for those in search of whats hip and what’s hot. But on Thursdays, it’s just antiques. And that’s hot enough for me. Believe it or not, I bought nothing. Having arrived at the end of the day after a late lunch across the street at St John’s Bread & Wine, some stalls were already beginning to close. So I decided to just putter around…

    TweetWhen colleagues in the Phoenix area aren’t teaching Dahn Yoga classes, you might find them cleaning up your countryside.  These Dahn Yoga Community members, fueled by a common appreciation of the Earth, are taking action by volunteering. That’s why ten members of the Glendale and Tempe Dahn Yoga centers joined with people from the City of Peoria, the City of Glendale, the Salt River Project electric company and various other groups who share a respect for the earth helped clean up trash in and around dried river beds. Despite the largest Arizona fire in history last year,…

    TweetArizona yoga studios offer stretches that cover all sorts of physiological territory. Classes often teach yoga for headaches, backaches, joint pain or low mood. There are stretching exercises for seniors, cyclists, runners and swimmers. And believe it or not, you can often find classes that will help you with your golf swing. Just ask Katherine Roberts, who recently started a program called Yoga for Golfers. As she told ABC News 15 Phoenix, holistic exercises are particularly good for people who spend a lot of time on the fairway – since, as she believes, golf is "90 percent…

    16 Apr 2012 | 12:33 pm
    TweetSpring has sprung. Flowers are in bloom, the days are warmer, the sun is up longer and everything is green. If you're like most Americans, springtime entails some mixed emotions – on the one hand, you're delighted to see the seasons change, and, on the other, you have the overwhelming urge to get away from your cubicle and into the sun. Rather than playing hookey, though, consider doing Dahn Yoga for your health. Online magazine Feelgood Style recently addressed the antsiness that comes with warmer weather. The news source called the feeling "spring fever" and…

    TweetAs a sport, a hobby, a pastime and a way of life, yoga is becoming more and more prominent. From kids to the elderly, everyone loves the holistic health system! In fact, seniors seem particularly taken with it – and the federal government has picked up on this. Recently, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services decided that Medicare will now cover some yoga for health problems. According to CNN, the federal social insurance program will now reserve funds for certain yoga regimens, like that provided by the Dean Ornish Program for Reversing Heart Disease. On average, these…

On the contrary, the holistic system is so good for your body and mind that it can help keep you healthy well into your golden years.

    In June 2011, The USDA released a replacement for its current food pyramid that was first constructed in 1992.  The Obama administration took on a simpler approach to healthful eating and called it ‘My Plate’.  Instead of making sure people ate multiple servings of grains, ‘My Plate’ broke down the diet into an easy visualization of what Americans should each at each meal.  Half of the plate consists of fruits and vegetables.  The other half includes whole grains and protein.  An additional recommendation included a cup of low fat milk serving.  The four parts of the plate are…

  • Fibroid Tumors

    Dr. William Jewell Jr.
    4 Apr 2012 | 5:17 am
    The uterus is designed for one function and one function only: to allow women the unique and special ability to develop, nurture, and eventually deliver human life. To facilitate this function, the uterus is composed of two types of tissues: Endometrium – lining of the uterus, that allows a suitable environment for a pregnancy to implant and grow Myometrium – muscle layer, that enables the uterus to contract during labor. Unfortunately, these tissues can deviate from their intended functions and cause various problems. One of the most common problems are fibroid tumors, or the…

    Have you ever had that feeling? The pain with urination, the feeling that you still have to go to the bathroom right after you’re done? Does it seem like it happens all the time? The terms bladder infection, urinary tract infection (UTI) or cystitis are used interchangeably in the medical world. They all refer to a bacterial infection that has occurred in your bladder. Most women have at least one bladder infection some time in their life. However, when it occurs 2 or more times over 6 months or 3 or more times in a year it is considered a recurrent UTI. These are actually more common than…

    Does your teenage daughter complain of painful menstruation every month? At times is she even missing school because of these painful periods? Did you know that this is the most common gynecologic complaint of adolescent females? Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and backache can even accompany the painful cramps that many young women have with their periods. These symptoms can be a large problem for young women, as many as 60-93% of them, and many of these symptoms result in limitations of daily activities. Unfortunately, only 15% of young women actually seek medical advice in…

  • Managing Stress with Yoga – A Proactive Approach

    admin
    7 May 2012 | 10:23 am
    At age 21, I was working 60 hours a week bartending, waitressing and teaching aerobics all to put myself through college and avoid the strings attached to my ultra-conservative parents’ help. I was in a relationship that was going nowhere, but breaking it off seemed to be more stressful then just enduring the status quo. I was burning the candle at both ends and managing stress was impossible as my anxiety levels were at an ultimate high. Long and frequent nights of partying were my favorite escape and my sure fire way to blow off steam. Gratefully, I was lucky to have maintained…

    According to data released by the American Burn Association, in 2011 alone, over 450,000 patients in the United States were treated for burn injuries.  That same year there are was an estimated 3500 burn deaths with approximately 3000 accounted for by residential fires and 500 from other sources.  Add to this a total of 45,000 patients hospitalized for burn injuries and the figures are shocking. And while these numbers themselves are impressive, they don’t begin to tell the story of the burn survivors who, while they do survive their initial injuries, are left with scars that can act as…

    Sometimes you meet someone in your life and everything just clicks. There is so much excitement simply in the anticipation of being together and you both feel better when you are with each other. Your soul mate has finally arrived and you are ready for an adventure. At first, everything is great. You both get along better than you thought you could with any other person. You laugh at their silly jokes, while they seem to love your cute idiosyncrasies about keeping your shoe rack meticulously organized.  And the attraction factor is magnetic.

    Your covers feel like a refuge of peace and solitude.  A wave of sadness and despair wash over you like a warm summer mist.  A mist, that seems to provide a sanctuary of separation.  A sanctuary, that does not leave room for criticisms, insults, rejection, feelings of inferiority, vulnerability or accusations.  Unfettered thoughts roam freely through your mind; “I am blue. I am sad.  I am empty.  I am depressed.” The Difference Between Feeling Low and Suffering a Real Disorder Most of us have occasions when we feel low and fatigued by life.  However, there is a distinct difference…
