A Time to Man-Up: Supporting the Menopausal Women in Your Life
Destigmatizing menopause starts with knowing the facts.
In so many of my daily conversations with patients, colleagues, and friends, there is almost always a moment when someone exclaims “I wish men knew how to support their female partners better when it comes to menopause.” From those conversations, I’ve discovered a constant theme: women living through menopause just want to know they are not alone, that they can speak about their experiences openly with their partners, and that they will be supported and loved. Normalizing menopause is the most important way a man (or anyone, really) can support a partner or the women in their life going through it, and there are myriad ways to treat many of the infamous symptoms caused by menopause that have unnecessarily and unjustly shrouded mid-life women in silence and shame.

Researchers use bacterial strains to measure host gene expression in mouse model
The bacteria Streptococcus pneumoniae colonizes the nasopharynx and can cause pneumonia. Then, it can spread from the lungs to the bloodstream and cause organ damage.
This opportunistic pathogen commonly infects young children, those who are immunocompromised and the elderly. In 2015, S. pneumoniae infections worldwide killed an estimated 192,000 to 366,000 children under age 5.
To understand how this pathogen adapts to different locations in the body, and also how the host responds to the invading microbe, researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the University of Maryland School of Medicine and Yale University School of Medicine measured bacterial and host gene expression at five different sites in a mouse model the nasopharynx, lungs, blood, heart and kidneys using three genetically different strains of S. pneumoniae.
