TMS 2026: In ARIC, menopause before age 40 was linked to higher CVD and CHD risk, with insulin resistance mediating about 19% of the association. Women who reached menopause before age 40 years had a higher long-term risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and coronary heart disease (CHD), and insulin resistance accounted for nearly one-fifth of that association. The findings come from an analysis of the Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities (ARIC) study presented at the 2026 Annual Meeting of The Menopause Society in San Diego.1,2Early menopause, occurring between ages 40 and 44 years, was not associated with increased cardiovascular risk.2Premature menopause occurs in about 1% of women. Because of estrogen deficiency and a longer postmenopausal lifespan, it has been linked to several adverse health outcomes, including CVD and osteoporosis. The cardiometabolic mechanisms behind the elevated CVD risk, however, have been unclear.1,2Zailing Xing, PhD, of the University of Vermont, and colleagues analyzed data from 4,710 postmenopausal women aged 45 to 64 years in ARIC who had no CVD at baseline.

THE TAKEAWAYA slow-moving system is developing near the Southwest Atlantic. This will cause days of rainfall across Florida and the Bahamas. Level 1 out of 4 flash flood risk has been issued for Friday, while a Level 2 out of 4 risk is in effect for Saturday. A slow-moving system is developing near the Southwest Atlantic as October ends, potentially bringing days of heavy rain, gusty winds and flash flooding to parts of the region. HOW HIGH PRESSURE AND LOW PRESSURE DRIVE THE WEATHERThis comes as an upper-level low becomes cut off from the main jet stream. Meanwhile, a strong ridge is building across eastern Canada and the North Atlantic, which could trap the system offshore for several days, allowing a broad area of low pressure to develop over the warm waters near the Bahamas and the western Atlantic. next North Miami Beach, Florida, pedestrian in crosswalk during heavy rain, downpour.

Across the airfield, parked in front of the Ultima Antarctic Logistics hangar, stood the aircraft that will carry us the rest of the way: six hours south over the Southern Ocean to the Antarctic continent.

For now, Spravato is the only psychedelic treatment on the market approved by the Food and Drug Administration. Because ketamine lost its patent protection decades ago, many of the companies are engaged in what’s known as drug repurposing, the potentially lucrative approach to finding new uses for old medicines. Get Starting PointA guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter EmailRepurposing dramatically cuts the time and expense associated with discovering an entirely new therapeutic compound and establishing whether it’s safe and effective. The protections granted by the FDA essentially give an applicant years of exclusivity on their repurposed compound. Sometimes it’s just a matter of putting an old drug in a new package. Take Ketafree, developed by the company NRx Pharmaceuticals. Ketafree is essentially ketamine without benzethonium chloride, or BZT, a preservative used in scores of drugs. The company is pursuing an unusual, two-pronged approach it hopes will give Ketafree an edge over its would-be competitors.

Nigeria has confirmed an Ebola case in its capital, Abuja, after a woman who arrived from Uganda tested positive for the virus, the health ministry said. The woman began showing symptoms on 7 October and was admitted to a hospital in Abuja four days later, where she was later diagnosed with Ebola. It is unclear when she arrived in Nigeria, Africa’s most populous country. The health minister, Muhammad Pate, said authorities had begun tracing 44 people identified as contacts of the patient. “We are doing everything possible to contain this case by tracing all the contacts the individual may have had,” he said. Uganda’s ministry of health said the patient had only transited through Uganda and that she is a Nigerian woman who had been on a business trip to Congo’s eastern region. The Nigerian authorities have not disclosed her nationality. “Travel through Uganda does not establish that infection occurred here. The location of exposure remains under investigation,” the ministry said in a statement. The ministry insisted Uganda has “no confirmed active Ebola cases”. Nigeria is the latest country to report an Ebola case as the outbreak spreads across the region.

Super El Niño is brewing to bring an impactful winter Winter is near, and super El Niño is forecast to make it quite a winter to remember. FOX Weather Meteorologists Stephen Morgan, Bayne Froney, Britta Merwin and Craig Herrera break down the forecast and talk about past El Niño events similar to this one. Forecasts show this winter could see the strongest El Niño ever recorded, which could have significant impacts on different parts of the U. S. But will it look similar to the Super El Niños of history? According to the FOX Forecast Center, there have been three winters since 1990, which were Super El Niño: 1991-92, 1997-98 and 2015-16. SUPER EL NIÑO FUELED WINTER COULD UNLEASH MORE STORMS, DRIVING MORE ACTIVE PATTERN INTO THE SOUTHWhile 1991-92 and 1997-98 followed very similar patterns, 2015-16 took an entirely different route, proving that just because the climate pattern is the same, doesn't mean it'll have the same effects. Winter 1991-1992 In 1991, El Niño kicked off with a blockbuster snowstorm, a Halloween blizzard that slammed Minnesota and Wisconsin, burying parts of the state under feet of snow.

Bryant Billing / Staff Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth visited Dayton Tuesday, Oct. 20, to declare that those serving on the front line have never depended more on those who toil on the nation’s production lines. Warfighters rely on the technician, the engineer, the welder, the IT professional and their colleagues, Hegseth said in a 24-minute address in the newest maintenance, repair and overhaul hangar built by Sierra Nevada Corp. at Dayton International Airport, in the shadow of a Boeing 747-8i the company has modified for service as an Air Force “Survivable Airborne Operations Center.”“Never forget the direct line you have to those on the front line,” Hegseth told an assembly of hundreds of SNC’s 420 Dayton workers. More workers watched the address remotely from other SNC hangars and offices. The company has built four huge 90,000-square-foot hangars to modify big military planes, adapting them for modern warfare with new communication suites and other upgrades.
