C'est un phénomène discret mais spectaculaire : depuis les années 1980, la France — comme la plupart des pays développés — connaît une hausse marquée du nombre de naissances de jumeaux et jumelles. On parle même d'un « baby boom des jumeaux ». Selon une étude publiée dans la revue Human Reproduction en 2021, le taux de naissances gémellaires a augmenté de plus de 30 % en quatre décennies dans les pays à revenu élevé. Mais d'où vient cette explosion ? Et surtout, quelles en sont les implications médicales ?PMA, FIV : des jumeaux de laboratoire ?La première cause identifiée, c'est l'essor des techniques de procréation médicalement assistée (PMA), notamment la fécondation in vitro (FIV), depuis les années 1980. Lors d'une FIV, il est courant que plusieurs embryons soient implantés dans l'utérus pour augmenter les chances de réussite. Résultat : les grossesses multiples sont plus fréquentes. Et même lorsque la stimulation ovarienne est utilisée sans FIV, elle peut favoriser la libération de plusieurs ovules, augmentant le risque de conception gémellaire.Des mères plus âgées… et plus grandesMais la technologie ne fait pas tout. Un autre facteur important est l'âge de la mère. À partir de 35 ans, les femmes ont plus souvent des cycles où plusieurs ovocytes sont libérés en même temps. Or, l'âge moyen de la première maternité n'a cessé d'augmenter en France, passant de 26 à près de 31 ans entre 1975 et aujourd'hui.La taille et le poids de la mère jouent également un rôle. Les femmes plus grandes ou ayant un indice de masse corporelle (IMC) plus élevé ont un risque légèrement supérieur d'avoir des jumeaux. Il ne s'agit pas ici de juger ces facteurs, mais de constater une tendance biologique.Et la génétique ?Côté hérédité, les jumeaux dizygotes (issus de deux ovules fécondés séparément) sont plus fréquents dans certaines familles. Si une femme a déjà eu des jumeaux ou si elle a des antécédents familiaux, ses chances en sont augmentées. À l'inverse, les jumeaux monozygotes (issus d'un même ovule divisé en deux) semblent répartis plus aléatoirement dans la population.Une grossesse à risquesMais cette hausse n'est pas sans conséquences : les grossesses gémellaires comportent plus de risques, à la fois pour la mère (hypertension, diabète gestationnel) et pour les bébés (prématurité, faible poids à la naissance). Les médecins recommandent donc un suivi renforcé pour ces grossesses multiples.En somme, le « baby boom des jumeaux » est le fruit d'une rencontre entre progrès médical, évolutions sociales et facteurs biologiques. Une aventure à deux… qui demande parfois deux fois plus de précautions. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

According to a study published in Human Reproduction in 2021, there are around 1.6 million twins born each year, with an average of one in every 42 newborn children being a twin. The research also revealed that the global twinning rate had increased by a third since the 1980s. It's fair to say that twins have long fascinated scientists, and society as a whole. Some people portray twins as kind of identical clones with supernatural powers. They suggest that twins are capable of communicating telepathically and experiencing each other's emotions, even from great distances.   Do twins really share a special bond ? Have twins similar behaviors ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the last episodes, you can click here: Why do people say that black cats bring bad luck?

In this episode of Conscious Fertility, host Dr. Lorne Brown engages in an enlightening conversation with Dr. Jerilynn Prior, a trailblazing endocrinologist and professor at the University of British Columbia. Dr. Prior shares her 40+ years of research on the importance of progesterone in women's reproductive health, the reality of hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause, and how understanding ovulatory disturbances can promote lifelong well-being. This episode is a must-listen for women seeking to optimize their fertility, manage perimenopausal symptoms, and gain deeper insights into their menstrual health.Key takeaways:The importance of balancing estrogen with progesterone for reproductive and overall health.Ovulatory disturbances are common and adaptive but need attention when persistent.Perimenopausal symptoms are often linked to fluctuating estrogen levels and insufficient progesterone.Regular ovulation predicts better bone, heart, and lifelong health.Progesterone therapy effectively reduces menopausal symptoms like night sweats and sleep disturbances.Dr. Jerilynn Prior Bio: Jerilynn C. Prior is a 40+ year University of British Columbia Endocrinology Professor. An award-winning Clinician-Scientist (Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, 2019), her innovative concepts are changing women's reproduction. Progesterone needs to be in balance with estradiol for well-being and fertility during the premenopausal years and for lifelong good health. She founded the UBC Centre for Menstrual Cycle and Ovulation Research (CeMCOR, 2002). Prior is an internationally recognized thought leader on menstrual cycles, ovulation, perimenopause, menopause, osteoporosis prevention and night sweats treatment with an H-Index of 75. Her controlled trials show progesterone decreases menopausal VMS and increases bone formation. Prior grew up in Alaskan fishing villages, got an honors MD from Boston University (1969) and became Canadian (1983) due to her belief in universal health care.

Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses the impact of ultra-processed food (UPF) consumption on sperm quality, referencing a study from the journal Human Reproduction. Findings indicate higher UPF intake is linked to lower sperm count, concentration, and motility in Spanish men. Leyla also explores a study on the effects of a lifelong vegetarian diet on male fertility in Loma Linda's Blue Zone population. She emphasizes that ultra processed foods and higher body mass index (BMI) correlate with deteriorating sperm quality, suggesting whole foods as a healthier dietary choice to improve fertility.

We've all heard of IVF - invitro fertilisation - but what about IVG ? In vitro gametogenesis involves making human eggs and sperm in the laboratory from any cell in a person's body. This means IVG could see same-sex couples have genetically related children.

SummaryWhat are the main benefits of a network structure, where power, authority, and leadership are dispersed and shared across regions, from an effectiveness perspective? What are the most important enabling habits, practices and behaviors that go with that, as a change leader?And what are the most valuable network-related frameworks, concepts, resources, and tools at work in moving towards this structure?In this NGO Soul+Strategy podcast episode, I interview Anu Kumar, President and CEO at Ipas, on the why, the what, and the how of changing an organization from a hub and spoke to a horizontal NGO model. Anu's Bio:President and CEO at IpasFormer Chief Strategy and Development Officer as well as Executive Vice President at IpasSenior Program Officer, Program on Global Security and Sustainability, Population and Reproductive Rights, MacArthur FoundationProgram Officer, MacArthur FoundationSocial Scientist in Human Reproduction, WHO We discuss: Ipas is the leading technical org that advocates for access to contraception and abortion services, globallyTraditionally, Ipas has had a hub-and-spoke organizational model, like many traditional NGOsA strategy change – for Ipas to contribute to a sustainable global contraception and abortion access ecosystem – demanded that countries would take over much of the lead in Ipas. So form followed functionIpas started its change towards a network model by defining what decentralization meant for itselfIt then defined shared leadership as its management model, and articulated change behaviors, practices, and management set-up as required next stepsSubsequently, it changed its structure to that of a network in which the US no longer was the primary member, and a Network Leadership Group, a Staff Community Council, and a NetCare group were formed -- the latter nurtures the networkIpas explicitly chose not to become a (con)federated organization and to remain a corporate hierarchical structureAs a next step, it adopted horizontal decision-making for some of its decision-making on budget aspects and recruitmentAdopting a horizontal management approach does *not* mean there is no hierarchy anymore: the CEO, CFO, and a few other executive leaders still have some positional power, but their  realm of decision-making is now reducedDecentralized decision-making means faster decision-making; more cross-country collaboration is also happening that's not involving the US.Role clarity is still an issue to be improved upon. On the other hand, global coherence was facilitated through a codified collaboration agreementIpas' board, still based in the US, retains fiduciary responsibilities, so compliance continues to be important Resources:Anu's LinkedIn ProfileIpas WebsiteLinkedIn article on Ipas change approach by Anu KumarBridgespan consulting group article on Re-imagining Multi-Country NGO Operating ModelsSamantha Slade's book was informative for Ipas's change journey: Going Horizontal YouTube 

In this podcast, we frequently delve into the realm of third-party reproduction. However, today we're taking a fresh perspective on the pregnancy journey. Donor conception isn't the perfect fit for everyone, and for some, it simply isn't an option. So, let's explore an alternative approach. Meet Dr. Gleicher and Dr. Barad, partners at the Center for Human Reproduction in New York. Their focus over the years has gravitated towards women categorized as having an "advanced maternal age". In this episode, they generously share insights into the strategies that have brought success to their patients. What's reassuring is their commitment to ensuring informed consent. They steer clear of empty promises and quick fixes. Instead, they lay out the reality, often modest success rates for women in their 40s, empowering patients to make informed decisions about their treatment paths. Despite embracing some unconventional methods, their research garners respect within the medical community. If you, or a loved one, want to attempt pregnancy at an advanced maternal age, you will find this episode very helpful.     If you are interested in any of the topics discussed in this episode...

Why would God create someone whom he knows will reject him? Will we be bored in heaven if everything is perfect? These and other questions are discussed by Dr. Craig.

According to ACOG's CO 773 from 2019, “Currently, serum antimüllerian hormone levels are not part of the accepted diagnostic criteria for polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)”. But medicine moves fast, and that statement is no longer valid, at least it isn't valid from the ASRM July 2023 Standpoint. Yep, once considered experimental, AMH has now entered the PCOS diagnostic algorithm. Nonetheless, some important limitations and facts must be understood for its use in this way. In this episode, we will highlight the recommendations from the 2023 international, evidence-based guideline for the assessment and management of polycystic ovary syndrome, focusing on the role of AMH. We will also discuss the condition in adolescents and why this diagnosis is DIFFERENT in this group, and the update to the number of follicles per ovary (FNPO) recommended for the diagnosis. This guideline has been co-published in Fertility and Sterility, Human Reproduction, European Journal of Endocrinology, and The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism.

Sorry, folks, it's official: it's the end of sex.* Henry “Hank” Greely, Professor by courtesy of Genetics at Stanford School of Medicine, Deane F. and Kate Edelman Johnson Professor of Law, and Director of the Center for Law and the Biosciences, is very interested in how new biomedical technologies impact assisted reproduction. He's authored two books: The End of Sex and the Future of Human Reproduction in 2016, and CRISPR People: The Science and Ethics of Editing Humans, which published in 2021, and is Chair of the Steering Committee of the Center for Biomedical Ethics, among other impressive mouthfuls. In this episode, Ruby, Anne, and Hank dive into the changes that are already happening in human reproduction — and the possible changes to come. In addition to the scientific challenges, what are the ethical and legal questions we'll need to tackle as the landscape changes? Many of us became aware of genetic questions with Dolly the cloned sheep and the controversy over stem cells and how they might be used to repair damaged bodies. But Hank took the question even further, asking, What happens when we can make eggs and sperm from skin cells? Does that signal the end of human reproduction as we know it? Hank can pinpoint the origin of his curiosity to October 19, 2010 in Muenster, Germany — a conference talk on how induced pluripotent stem cells (iPscs) could be used to make other cells, including, the speaker said off-handedly, sperm and eggs. Wait, what? Science fiction? Maybe not. If you're curious about the possible future of fertility (and sex), this is the episode for you. Be sure to check out the book as well. There's not only theory about what the future could hold but also a well-researched history of how we've gotten here  As always, please rate and review, and most of all, share the episode and show with anyone you think could benefit.  *Spoiler: New technologies might mean the end of sex for reproduction and the start of sex purely for pleasure.

One of the most cutting-edge and controversial fields of biomedical research right now is the quest to create eggs and sperm in the lab for anyone with their own DNA. And now, private companies have jumped into the race to revolutionize the way humans reproduce.In vitro gametogenesis, or IVG, would enable infertile women and men to have children with their own DNA instead of genes from the sperm and eggs of donors. It would also provide queer couples the opportunity to have children biologically related to both partners. NPR health correspondent Rob Stein reports on the excitement and concerns this new technology has fueled.In participating regions, you'll also hear a local news segment to help you make sense of what's going on in your community.Email us at considerthis@npr.org.

In this episode of the IJGC podcast, Editor-in-Chief Dr. Pedro Ramirez is joined by Drs. Diego Raimondo and Giulia Rovero. Dr. Raimondo works as medical director and assistant researcher at the Division of Gynecology and Pathophysiology of Human Reproduction, Bologna, Italy, directed by Prof. Renato Seracchioli. He received his PhD on new technologies for endometriosis surgical removal from the University of Bologna in 2021. He is an Advisory Board Member of the ESGE (European Society for Gynaecological Endoscopy) and member of the Special Interest Group in Robotics. His research interests are focused on minimally invasive surgery (laparoscopic, robotic and hysteroscopic) for endometriosis and endometrial cancer. Dr. Giulia Rovero graduated in Medicine in 2017 at the University of Florence. She is currently a fifth-year resident at the Division of Gynecology and Pathophysiology of Human Reproduction, Bologna, Italy, directed by Prof. Renato Seracchioli. In 2022/23 she spent twelve months at the Lariboisiere Hospital in Paris focusing on gynecologic oncology. She is developing her research activity in collaboration with Dr. Raimondo in the field of minimally invasive surgery for endometrial cancer.    Highlights: In endometrial carcinoma (EC) patients, the rate of sentinel lymph node (SLN) mapping failure ranges from 20% to 25%. Pooled data assessing predictive factors of SLN mapping failure in EC patients undergoing SLN biopsy through the cervical injection of indocyanine green (ICG) are lacking. ICG dose 30 kg/m2, menopausal status, adenomyosis) nor surgical history is significantly associated with SLN mapping failure in EC patients. Deep myometrial invasion, FIGO grade 3, non-endometrioid histotype, and lymphovascular space invasion are not significantly associated with SLN mapping failure in EC patients.

Today on Midday on Ethics, a discussion about advancements in technology that change the way humans reproduce. Tom's guest is Dr. Jeffrey Kahn, the director of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics. He is also Professor in the Dept. of Health Policy and Management of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. In a 2016 book, a researcher named Henry Greely predicted that in a few decades, most people will make babies by methods other than sex. And a recent article in The New Yorker from writer Emily Witt looks into the booming,multi-billion-dollar industry that's driving advances in reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization, or IVF. And now, IVF may eventually give way to a procedure known as IVG, or in vitro gametogenesis. That's just one of several new methods by which babies can be made, and the reproductive clock for women can be extended.

Huberman Lab Podcast Notes Key Takeaways The same key hormones are involved in male and female puberty and reproduction: GnRH, LH, and FSHOvulation & menstruation is about creating the opportunity for fertilization to occur if sperm is within close enough proximityMen: if you want to conceive in the next 90 days, avoid elevating body temperature (e.g., hot tubs, hot baths, sauna, etc.) to optimize testes temperature and sperm healthMany miscarriages, trisomy abnormalities, failures at fertilization, and birth defects occur because egg and sperm chromosomes are not properly pulled apart into haploidsThere is evidence that heat from laptops and electronics on the lap are negatively impacting sperm countFrequency of intercourse for conception: abstain from intercourse 2-3 days before ovulation; then on the day prior to ovulation or the day of ovulation, have as much intercourse as you can/want Successful fertilization largely depends on the quality of the egg Err on the side of conservative when trying to conceive and talk to OB/GYN at the onset of your desire to have children; the probability of conceiving naturally decreases throughout 30s due to the diminishing quality of eggsRead the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgIn this episode, I discuss the mechanisms by which human eggs and sperm are generated, the ovulatory/menstrual cycle, the conception process and overall fertility in males and females. I also explain how, regardless of whether you seek to conceive children, optimizing egg and sperm health is directly related to vitality and longevity. I cover the nutrition-based, behavioral, supplement-based and prescription approaches to optimizing egg and sperm health, the ovulatory/menstrual cycle and fertility. In addition, I explain lifestyle choices that greatly assist or harm fertility—several of which are very surprising. I provide science-based protocols for those trying to conceive children. The tools and principles I discuss can also improve overall vitality and longevity in all people, regardless of age.  For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.

The assignments students do in STS modules today are nothing like what they used to be. These days, they build portfolios with all sorts of things: short writing, long writing, posters, blogs, in-class presentations. Add to these, projects like podcasts, film clips, campaign strategies, briefing papers, debates, and proposals. Research of different kinds. Creativity. And Challenge. We diversify our curriculum because we know the future for our students holds work as varied as we can imagine. Today's episode offers a sampler of student-made podcasts. These were created by year 3 undergraduates in our science journalism module, run by Dr Jean-Baptiste Gouyon. The assignment is straightforward: create a three-minute news feature about a recent piece of research at UCL. The piece must be suitable for use on as a news segment for radio or podcast. Students start with a recent press release from the UCL Press Office, and they go from there. The piece must include a short interview segment with a researcher. They have a tight deadline, and they have to work pretty much with the tools they have through a laptop and phone. This is real world work as a freelance journalist. For today, I've brought together eight of the ones I like a lot. They're varied, and they deliver the assignment is different ways. Think of it as a sampler.

New X-ray Tech Promises Better Diagnostics for Heart Disease, Gracie Enticknap This newscast introduces a new-to-research x-ray technology called HiP-CT which images organs at multiple scales with better clarity than previously achievable. I discuss HiP-CT with a researcher who is using it to study the evolution of congenital heart disease in blue baby syndrome and children with one heart ventricle. We discuss the aims of his research, and eventual clinical application and hospital usage of this technology, which could have revolutionary benefit to the understanding, diagnosis and treatment of heart diseases.

Covid-19 Impact on Gut Microbiome, Marcus Chow It is well established that the digestive system, its microbiota, and the immune system are linked and influence each other. With COVID-19 coming to an endemic, much of the research interest now lies in how it can shape the microbiota and how the microbiota can influence the patients' symptoms and long term effects. Wong et has investigated how COVID-19 interact with and in the gastrointestinal tract to better understand the implications of disease management, transmission, and infection control. In this article, we review the important gastrointestinal aspects of the disease.

Marketing Infant Formula against Breast Feeding, Nadya Rauch Let's take a critical look at infant formula marketing, which the WHO recently condemned for misleading parents and undermining breastfeeding. Breastmilk has key benefits for infants that can't be replicated in formula milk, such as stems cells and antibodies that help protect infants from infection. We talk to infant formula expert Dr. Fewtrell from UCL's Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health to debunk some myths on whether infant formula can improve cognitive outcomes for children.

New guidelines on the diagnosis and treatment of endometriosis, Sofia Sancho The European Society of Human Reproduction and Embryology have recently released 200 pages of new, comprehensive guidelines for the diagnosis of endometriosis. A major change in the new version is that laparoscopy is no longer deemed the gold standard for diagnosis, which will lead to more patients being accommodated for, and hopefully the long wait for diagnosis being decreased. I speak to Dr Ertan Saridogan, who co-authored the new guidelines, about their significance and how they can lead to improvements in endometriosis research.

Minimally invasive image-guided ablation (MINIMA), Yingnan Chen Proof-of-concept for MINIMA is recently published. Compare to traditional ways of removing tumours, MINIMA is not as invasive and has fewer side effects, hence, the patients can recover quicker. Moreover, MINIMA can preserve the function of infected organ as much as possible. I have invited the lead author, Rebecca Baker, to talk about how MINIMA works and its potential as a cancer treatment. She also discussed the limitations and what needs to be done before moving on to clinical trials.

Covid's impact on student experience at UCL, Juwairiyah Aftab The podcast explores a research study conducted by Dr Waugh, alongside other individuals, titled ‘Impacts of the Covid‐19 pandemic on the health of university students'. The study, based at University College London (UCL), explores the physical and mental health consequences of the pandemic on students, with mention of the importance of this study and its relevance. Furthermore, the study mentions cases of racism and discrimination, followed by an evaluation of how trustworthy the research is and brief future recommendations.

How Do We Slow Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease, Eloise Jarvis Dr Toryn Poolman talks about non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), leading cause of liver transplants that effecting up to one-third of the British population. It's a medical condition that's on the rise owing to changes in diet: more sugar, more alcohol, and more processed foods. He explains what NAFLD is, what it can progress to, what the causes are, and how it can be avoided or reversed.

Applied Linguistics studying pain descriptions associated with endometriosis, Dan Sharpe Listening more carefully to the words patients choose to describe their symptoms can help doctors identify more complex medical conditions, says Zsófia Demjén. She reports on new research into specific patterns of words patients use to describe their symptoms. This might lead to earlier diagnosis of endometriosis and other serious chronic conditions. Just listening more carefully can make all the difference.

Redacted with Natali and Clayton Morris (3:23 to 6:46) EXCLUSIVE: UNDERTAKER EXPLAINS “MYSTERIOUS” CLOTTING PHENOMENON! | Louder with Crowder (8:17 – 26:00)   Green tea and resveratrol reduce Alzheimer's plaques in lab tests Tufts University, November 2, 2022 Tufts researchers are working to understand what might slow progression of Alzheimer's disease. They have tested 21 different compounds in Alzheimer's-afflicted neural cells in the lab, measuring the compounds' effect on the growth of sticky beta amyloid plaques. These plaques develop in the brains of people with Alzheimer's. The researchers found that two common compounds—green tea catechins and resveratrol, found in red wine and other foods—reduced the formation of plaques in those neural cells. And they did so with few or no side effects. The researchers reported their findings in the journal Free Radical Biology and Medicine. Some of the 21 compounds tested reduced the disease progression by acting as anti-viral agents—slowing Alzheimer's induced by the herpes virus. But finding a compound “that could diminish the plaques regardless of the virus component would be ideal, because that would show that regardless of the cause of Alzheimer's, you might still see some kind of improvement,” says Dana Cairns, GBS12. Cairns is a research associate in the Kaplan Lab in the School of Engineering and led the research. The initial screen found five compounds had “really robust prevention of these plaques,” she says. In addition to the green tea compounds and resveratrol, they found curcumin from turmeric, the diabetic medication Metformin, and a compound called citicoline prevented plaques from forming and did not have anti-viral effects. “We hoped to find compounds that would be harmless and show some level of efficacy,” she said. Green tea compounds and resveratrol met that standard. “We got lucky that some of these showed some pretty strong efficacy,” Cairns said. “In the case of these compounds that passed the screening, they had virtually no plaques visible after about a week.” The discovery is significant because there is no cure for Alzheimer's or a way to prevent its progression, aside from several potential drugs developed by pharmaceutical companies that are still in trials, Cairns says. Compounds like these two that show some efficacy and are known to be safe and easily accessible could be taken as a supplement or consumed as part of one's diet, she adds. High fiber, yogurt diet associated with lower lung cancer risk Vanderbilt University Medical School, October 28, 2022 A diet high in fiber and yogurt is associated with a reduced risk for lung cancer, according to a study by Vanderbilt University Medical Center researchers published in JAMA Oncology. The benefits of a diet high in fiber and yogurt have already been established for cardiovascular disease and gastrointestinal cancer. The new findings based on an analysis of data from studies involving 1.4 million adults in the United States, Europe and Asia suggest this diet may also protect against lung cancer. Participants were divided into five groups, according to the amount of fiber and yogurt they consumed. Those with the highest yogurt and fiber consumption had a 33% reduced lung cancer risk as compared to the group who did not consume yogurt and consumed the least amount of fiber. “This inverse association was robust, consistently seen across current, past and never smokers, as well as men, women and individuals with different backgrounds,” she added. Shu said the health benefits may be rooted in their prebiotic (nondigestible food that promotes growth of beneficial microorganisms in the intestines) and probiotic properties. The properties may independently or synergistically modulate gut microbiota in a beneficial way. Yoga Practice Beneficial to Patients With COPD All India Institute of Medical Sciences Oct. 28, 2022 Patients with COPD who practice yoga can improve their lung function, according to a study by researchers at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Department of Pulmonary Medicine and Sleep Disorders. The study found that lung function, shortness of breath, and inflammation all showed significant improvement after patients completed 12 weeks of training. An estimated 24 million Americans may have COPD, which includes chronic bronchitis, emphysema, or both. Patients with COPD have trouble pushing used air out of their lungs, making it difficult to take in healthy new air. Although there is no cure for COPD, a patient's quality of life can be improved by controlling symptoms, such as shortness of breath. The study included 29 stable patients with COPD who received yoga training in a format that included the use of physical postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), cleansing techniques, (kriyas), meditation, and a relaxation technique (shavasan) for 1 hour, twice a week, for 4 weeks. Following the 4-week period, patients were trained for 1 hour every 2 weeks, with the remaining sessions completed at home. Patients were evaluated on assessment of lung function, breathing, quality of life, and inflammation status. A repeat assessment was done at the end of the 12-week training session. All parameters showed significant improvement at the end of the 12-week period. “We found that yoga can be a simple, cost-effective method that can help improve quality of life in patients with COPD,” stated Dr. Guleria. Iron proposed as cause of heart failure in many heart attack patients Indiana University School of Medicine, November 2 2022. A study published in Nature Communications revealed the discovery of a cause for chronic heart failure that occurs in approximately half of the people who experience a heart attack. “For the first time, we have identified a root cause of chronic heart failure following a heart attack,” lead researcher Rohan Dharmakumar of Indiana University School of Medicine's Cardiovascular Institute announced. Using large animal models, the research team found that in heart attacks in which bleeding within the heart muscle occurs upon restoration of circulation, scar tissue is gradually replaced by fat. The inability of fat to effectively propel blood from the heart can lead to heart failure in survivors of this type of heart attack. “Using noninvasive imaging, histology and molecular biology techniques, and various other technologies, we have shown that iron from red blood cells is what drives this process,” Dr Dharmakumar reported. “When we removed the iron, we reduced the amount of fat in the heart muscle. This finding establishes a pathway for clinical investigations to remedy or mitigate the effects associated with iron in hemorrhagic myocardial infarction patients.” The finding led to a clinical trial to determine the effect of iron chelation therapy to remove excess iron in patients with hemorrhagic heart attack. “While advances across populations have made survival after a heart attack possible for most, too many survivors suffer long-term complications like heart failure,” Indiana University's Cardiovascular Institute physician director Subha Raman, MD noted. “Dr Dharmakumar's breakthrough science illuminates who is at risk and why and points to an effective way to prevent these complications.” DHEA supplementation associated with improved sexual function in women Center for Human Reproduction (New York), October 6, 2022 A report published in the journal Endocrine revealed improvements in sexual function among older premenopausal women who supplemented with the hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). In their introduction to the article, authors Vitaly A. Kushnir of the Center for Human Reproduction in New York and colleagues describe their use of DHEA in the treatment of infertile women who had low levels of androgen hormones. “In the process of treating thousands of so-affected infertile women, we noticed that many spontaneously reported improvements in libido, sexual desire and, sometimes, even pain status, leading to the paradoxical situation of women refusing to discontinue DHEA supplementation once they conceived,” they remarked. “When we, in a review of the literature, were unable to find a study that investigated the effectiveness of DHEA on female sexuality in older premenopausal women, this study was developed.” The study included 50 infertile premenopausal women whose age averaged 41 years. The participants supplemented with oral DHEA for a minimum of six weeks prior to starting any other fertility treatments. Serum androgen hormone levels, including DHEA and testosterone, were shown to increase following DHEA supplementation. In comparison with pretreatment scores, FSFI index scores improved by 7%, including a 17% increase in desire, a 12% increase in arousal, and an 8% increase in lubrication. However, among women whose scores were among the lowest 25% of the group, total FSFI scores increased by 34%, which included a 40% increase in desire, a 46% increase in arousal, and a 33% increase in lubrication. Women in this group also experienced a 54% increase in orgasm, greater satisfaction, and less pain in comparison with pretreatment values. Trauma during childhood triples the risk of suffering a serious mental disorder in adulthood, study finds Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute (Spain), November 2, 2022 A study led by researchers at the Hospital del Mar Medical Research Institute links psychological trauma in childhood with an increased risk of developing some kind of mental disorder years later. Suffering psychological trauma during childhood significantly increases the risk of developing a mental disorder in adulthood. Specifically, as much as three times, according to a recent study, published in the journal European Archives of Psychiatry and Clinical Neuroscience. The study analyses the fourteen reviews and meta-analyses published to date in specialized journals on this issue, and is the first to take into account the full range of existing mental disorders. In total, the studies analyzed incorporate more than 93,000 cases, revealing a direct link between suffering psychological trauma at a pediatric age and the risk of developing a mental pathology later in life. “It is the strongest evidence to date that psychological trauma really is a risk factor for suffering a mental disorder later on,” says Dr. Benedikt Amann, lead author of the study The most common childhood traumas are emotional, physical and sexual abuse, as well as emotional or physical neglect and bullying, although there are many others. Suffering one of these situations damages the brain, causing physical as well as psychological consequences in the form of various disorders. In the case of emotional abuse, the most frequent trauma is associated with the most prevalent disorder in the population, that of anxiety. But there is also a relationship between childhood trauma and other pathologies, such as psychosis, which is linked to all traumas, obsessive-compulsive disorder or bipolar disorder. The risk of suffering from borderline personality disorder increases up to fifteen times in the case of having experienced trauma during childhood. Trauma in adulthood is also associated with a four-fold increase in the risk of a later mental disorder. The researchers point out, however, that there is less evidence for this type of pathology.

In Growing Older Living Younger, we discuss how small changes in lifestyle and habits can have a big impact on your health and vitality as you age. Using healthy aging strategies, tools and products, you can favourably alter your aging at the cellular level by changing gene expression, and differentiating your biological age from your chronological age. The impact of the explosion of genomic research on our understanding of biomarkers and our ability to alter biological aging, has been huge. One development has been the creation of measures of biological age that can tell you if you are physiologically younger or older than your chronological age.  Precision Medicine  or Precision Health is an approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person As a practicing endocrinologist in Manhattan, today's guest, Dr. Florence Comite, embraces Precision Medicine for both prevention and treatment. She graduated from The Yale School of Medicine, founded Women's Health at Yale, and was on the faculty at Yale Medical School for 25 years. An endocrinologist with multidisciplinary training in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Gynecology, and Andrology, she has conducted seminal clinical research at Yale and the NIH Institute of Child Health and Human Reproduction, in Reproductive Endocrinology and Metabolism, Adult and Pediatric Endocrinology, Gynecology and Andrology. She is the founder and CEO of Groq Health, bringing Precision Medicine to the mobile phone.   Our conversation about preventative medicine, genes and environment took several  interesting turns, into discussion of how external or environmental factors can change the aging of identical twins, how low fat, carb rich diets can cause severe reactive hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and 5 key predictive biomarkers we should check.

Researchers from the University of Texas report that the herbal blend could improve the status of nitric oxide in the body – nitric oxide (NO) is a potent vasodilator, or compound that promotes the dilation or relaxation of blood vessels, thereby easing blood pressure and boosting heart health. “The strategy of formulating a combination of natural products and botanicals chosen specifically for their NO activity shows promise in restoring NO [control] in human subjects at risk for cardiovascular disease for use as a dietary supplement,” wrote researchers in Nutrition Research. Dr Bryan explained what makes the combination unique is beet root and hawthorn play a unique and critical role.” Beetroot was chosen because it was found to contain high levels of nitrate, while hawthorn berries have a high activity of the enzyme nitrite reductase, which converts nitrite to nitric oxide. (Next) Vitamin D needed for male fertility Copenhagen University Hospital The journal Human Reproduction reported the finding of Danish researchers of a role for vitamin D in sperm motility:  the movement of spermatozoa that is necessary for fertilization. Martin Blomberg Jensen of Copenhagen University Hospital and his associates evaluated motility in sperm samples from 300 Danish men.  Blood samples were analyzed for 25-hydroxyvitamin D, parathyroid hormone and other factors. Forty-four percent of the subjects were found to have insufficient vitamin D levels, which were inversely correlated with parathyroid hormone.   Increasing vitamin D levels were associated with greater sperm motility as well increased progressive motility, which is the highest grade of sperm motility, applied to sperm that swim rapidly in a straight line. In an in vitro experiment utilizing sperm samples donated by 40 men, vitamin D3 was demonstrated to increase intracellular calcium via vitamin D receptor-mediated calcium release, improve sperm motility, and induce the acrosome reaction, which is needed for fertilization of the ovum. “Our study uncovers some of the functions of vitamin D and generates new hypotheses. This is an intriguing finding, because it suggests that vitamin D has an effect on sperm movement and function.” (Next)  Aromatherapy can reduce post-surgical opioid use by half, preliminary US study finds University of Pittsburgh Aromatherapy reduces post-surgical opioid use by half in hip replacement patients anxious before their operation, according to a new preliminary study being presented at the annual meeting of the European Society of Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care (ESAIC) in Milan. Previous research has shown that anxiety, depression and catastrophising (patients who believe they are going to die during surgery) increase post-operative pain and opioid use by up to 50%. Aromatherapy, the use of essential oils to enhance wellbeing, has been used for thousands of years and a number of recent studies have found that lavender and peppermint aromatherapy, in particular, can reduce anxiety.1 Participants are randomised to an active treatment (aromatherapy) or placebo group. Those in the active treatment group are given a lavender and peppermint “aromatab”, an adhesive patch that slowly releases essential oils when stuck onto clothes, skin or a hospital gown, to wear from at least an hour before their operation. The patches are changed every 12 hours and are worn for 72 hours after surgery. Those in the placebo group wear a patch which emits sweet almond oil – an oil not credited with anxiety-lowering qualities. Total opioid use in the first 48 hours after surgery was 50% lower in the aromatherapy group (12 OME) than in the placebo group (24.75 OME).  (OME, oral morphine equivalent, is a measure that allows comparison between different drugs and methods of administration). (Next) Coffee consumption link to reduced risk of acute kidney injury, study finds Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine If you need another reason to start the day drinking a cup of joe, a recent study by Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers has revealed that consuming at least one cup of coffee a day may reduce the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) when compared to those who do not drink coffee. The findings, published in the journal Kidney International Reports, show that those who drank any quantity of coffee every day had a 15% lower risk of AKI, with the largest reductions observed in the group that drank two to three cups a day (a 22%–23% lower risk).

Summary by author Meghan: By studying attitudes toward infertility between Chinese and American cultures, I realized that infertility is not a difficult topic to broach and infertility deserves the care of society. People with infertility should not be pressured by alternative visions because of their gender. Americans are more open to the problem of infertility than Chinese. Chinese women are far more likely than American women to suffer from infertility. Men and women in the infertile population should receive the same testing and treatment. There is something to be learned from America's attitude toward infertility.

I discuss human reproduction, and rant about people being stupid about it.

In this episode I chat to Professor Joyce Harper, Professor of Reproductive Science at the Institute for Women's Health, University College London. She is also Director of Education at the IfWH, Director of the Centre for Human Reproduction, co-founder of the UK Fertility Education Initiative and Founder of the International Fertility Education Initiative.    I met Joyce at the Fertility Fest last year and have been a fan of her work ever since. She has worked in the fields of fertility, genetics, reproductive health and women's health for over 30 years and shares so many interesting facts in this episode.    In this episode we discuss:  - Joyce's personal fertility journey to have her children - Fertility Education and the book Joyce is currently writing about The Fertile Years - The UK Fertility Education Initiative and getting fertility on the UK national curriculum  - The fact that we can no longer accurately use the term 2.4 children due to the change in the current statistics - Egg freezing, the legislation surrounding it and why you might want to consider embryo freezing as an alternative - Why you might not want to wait for the right man to come along after age 35 if you definitely want children - The 9 point fertility education poster being shared worldwide - The importance of understanding our menstrual cycle - Why women in the media getting pregnant in their late 40s and 50s can be quite misleading - The research that has been carried out on solo motherhood and how to share donor conception with donor conceived children   And lot's more!   I don't want the details shared to scare anyone, but feel it is important to get these fertility facts out there. If anyone feels anxious about what they have heard, please feel free to reach out to me.    You can find out more about Joyce and her work on her website.  You can also follow her on Instagram and Twitter   Be sure to subscribe on your favourite podcast player to ensure you don't miss an episode!
