Missing Out on a Choice: How Older Women Are Less Likely to Receive Menopause-Reducing Drug During Chemotherapy

healthcancerchemotherapymenopauseresearch

When Patsy Mullen was diagnosed with breast cancer, her oncologist mentioned the possibility of chemotherapy leading to early onset menopause. The drug Goserelin reduces this risk by up to 70%, but a new study shows many women in Mullen's position are missing out on this choice. Older women and women with children are less likely to be offered the drug due to doctors assuming fertility is the only consideration. However, early onset menopause can also carry increased risks of osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, and sexual dysfunction. Researchers want doctors to increase discussions and use of Goserelin in all premenopausal women, regardless of their fertility interests.

Get ready for an exciting week in the world of space exploration! Jeff Bezos's Blue Origin is set to launch its new space rocket, New Glenn, on Monday.

Blue Origin, the space company founded by Jeff Bezos, was set to launch its massive new rocket, the New Glenn, on Monday. However, technical trouble forced the company to call off the debut launch. The rocket, named after the first American to orbit Earth, John Glenn, is five times taller than Blue Origin’s New Shepard rocket. The launch was delayed due to an unspecified rocket issue in the final minutes of the countdown. Blue Origin has not yet set a new launch date and will need more time to resolve the problem. The test flight was already delayed by rough seas that posed a risk to the company’s plan to land the first-stage booster on a floating platform in the Atlantic.

Scurvy, a disease of the past, is re-emerging in Australia.** The cost of living crisis, obesity, and ultra-processed foods are being blamed for people not getting enough vitamin C and developing the disease.

People in regional NSW are more likely to put off seeing both GPs and specialists, with 24% of regional residents delaying or not seeing a specialist due to cost in 2024.

How to Watch the Orionid Meteor Shower and What to Expect

spaceastronomymeteor showerHalley's Comet

Get ready for a celestial light show as the Orionid meteor shower peaks this week! Debris from Halley's Comet will streak across the night sky, offering up to 25 meteors per hour. To catch the best view, find a dark spot away from city lights after midnight, allow your eyes to adjust to the dark for 15 minutes, and look towards the constellation of Orion in the east. The radiant, or point of origin, is near the red-tinged star Betelgeuse. Unfortunately, this year's peak will coincide with a bright moon, so viewing may be best later in the week or during the Geminids in December. Despite the moon's interference, this annual shower provides a thrilling glimpse of the comet's beauty for those who miss its rare appearance every 75 to 76 years. Happy stargazing!

NASA's Europa Clipper Launched to Search for Habitable Conditions on Jupiter's Moon

spaceNASAJupiterEuropahabitable

NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft has been successfully launched towards Jupiter on a mission to probe Europa for potential habitable qualities. The solar-powered spacecraft, which is about 30m long, 17m wide and weighs six tonnes, will travel 1.8 billion miles and enter orbit around Jupiter in 2030. It will carry out 49 close flybys of Europa over three years, gathering detailed measurements to investigate the moon. The mission's main scientific goal is to establish whether there are places below the surface of the moon that can harbour life. NASA said: "The mission's detailed exploration of Europa will help scientists better understand the astrobiological potential for habitable worlds beyond our planet."
