For the first time since 2014, the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has updated its guidelines for the treatment of symptoms commonly associated with menopause. The doctor's group, known as ACOG, recommends hormone replacement therapy alongside certain antidepressants, nonhormonal medicines, and other treatments to address symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia and mood swings. "What's changing is the breadth of options that we now have … And the benefit of that is that we are better equipped to be able to take an individualized approach for patients," said Catherine Cansino, MD, MPH, an obstetrician/gynecologist, chair of ACOG's Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines and co-author of the new guidance.

Christina Koch, the first woman to travel to the Moon: ‘We saw blue flashes when we closed our eyes’ - EL PAÍS English
Astronaut Christina Koch, 47, is the first woman to travel to the Moon. She is also one of the four people who have ventured the farthest into space, serving as a specialist on the Artemis 2 mission. An engineer and physicist, Koch is the first civilian scientist astronaut — with no ties to her country’s military — to achieve all those milestones; she also holds the record for the longest continuous time spent in space by a woman and took part in the first all-female spacewalk. In this video interview with EL PAÍS, Koch revisits some of the most intense moments of her historic mission to the Moon last April and reflects on what lies ahead in the race to the Moon and Mars. The astronaut also discusses her future: she believes her time in space is behind her and that she is ready to pass the torch to a new generation of astronauts who will be called on to colonize our satellite and prepare for the first missions to the red planet. Koch says humanity is fully prepared for that goal, both physically and mentally. The scientist and astronaut is due to visit Spain later this month to receive the Princess of Asturias Award for Concord alongside the rest of the Artemis 2 crew. Question.
