]]> Regional > Europe > United Kingdom > Business and Economy > Computers and Internet {EUROPE > NEWS AND MEDIA} - 'Road map' test can predict when the menopause will start http://articles.world-of-newave.info/regional/europe/united-kingdom/news-and-media/road-map-test-can-predict-when-the-menopause-will-2008115541.htm http://articles.world-of-newave.info/regional/europe/united-kingdom/news-and-media/road-map-test-can-predict-when-the-menopause-will-2008115541.htm Sun, 02 Nov 2008 00:03:06 GMT A test to predict when a woman will go through the menopause has been developed by scientists who believe it will provide a 'road map' of fertility for older would-be mothers.The breakthrough will also help women prepare mentally for losing their fertility and allow those in their late 30s and 40s who are considering trying for a baby pinpoint just how long they have left to conceive.One of the country's leading experts in fertility and women's health last night welcomed the test as a genuine and important breakthrough. 'The menopause is not an illness. But it is a big life event which has big implications for women's lifestyle and quality of life,' said Bill Ledger, a professor of obstetrics and gynaecology at the University of Sheffield. 'This test seems to be reasonably predictive of menopause. Lots of people want to know when it's going to happen so that they can plan their life and work and their children, if possible, and this test would give them an idea of that. 'It would give them an idea of where their body is in relation to the menopause, how soon it's coming.'We live in an era when people want to know more about their bodies and what can go wrong with them, and this test reflects that. This test could let women plan how they are going to cope with menopause and help them understand what's happening in their own body.'The test measures three hormones in a woman's blood to calculate how many eggs are left in her ovaries. International researchers led by MaryFran Sowers, a professor of public health at the University of Michigan, found that changes in the levels of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH), the follicle-stimulating FSH and inhibin B concentrations, in more than 600 women studied, foretold when they would enter menopause. The team found AMH fell to a very low or non-measurable level five years before a woman has her final period. By then she is likely to have so few eggs that her fertility is increasingly questionable, says the study published in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and MetabolismThe findings are significant, because while these hormones have been measured before doctors have not been able to connect diminishing levels of them to fertility or to the menopause because of a lack of data. Between 400,000-500,000 women a year in Britain experience the onset of menopause, many with symptoms including hot flushes, mood swings, disturbed sleep and a loss of libido. 'The information [in the test] provides a road map as to how fast women are progressing through the different elements of their reproductive life,' said Sowers. 'People really want information about "how long do I have?" and "when will I have my final menstrual period?"'Now we are beginning to say, "If you have a specific FSH level, combined with your age, this is the likelihood that you are in this reproductive stage". We finally have numbers from enough women evaluated over a long time period to describe the reproductive ageing process.' About 200,000 women in Britain at any one time are suffering from menstrual dysfunction in their 40s. Some 2,000 get such severe problems that they have a hysterectomy or similar procedure. If the test proves successful, it could mean at least some of them can avoid surgery.Medical researchHealthWomenguardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds Guardian.Co.Uk 'Road map' test can predict when the menopause will start {new window}   Www.Guardian.Co.Uk - A test to predict when a woman will go through the menopause has been developed by scientists who believe it will provide a 'road map' of fertility for older would-be mothers.The breakthrough will also help women prepare mentally for losing their fertility and allow those in their late 30s and 40s who are considering trying for a baby pinpoint just how long they have left to conceive.One of the country's leading experts in fertility and women's health last night welcomed the test as a genuine and important breakthrough.

Of course, this is all very frivolous and has nothing to do with the current campaign. But like Barack Obama's high school basketball footage, it's a little glimpse into the early life of a highly-visible national figure. In the first part added to YouTube, he posted the portion from the swimsuit competition, prefaced by a brief introduction mentioning the demand for the "88 minutes of Alaska Gold." Update: The original video was removed, but I managed to save a copy of the relevant footage without Richard's original intro.

Sarah says that she wants to prepare for a career in television broadcasting by majoring in Telecommunications and Political Science. It's no wonder that she has also been recognized by Who's Who, since she has explained her leadership in all areas, from academics to student politics to athletics, having led her basketball team to the championship at the state tournament. Ladies and gentleman, contestant #8, Sarah Heath." Richard's promised to post the video from the talent competition next, in which Sarah Palin plays the flute. YouTube currently lists only 2,173 views for the video, but I expect this will blow up soon. I'm tracking the growth stats, so will be able to see how quickly it spreads over the next few weeks.
