Menopause Symptoms and Complementary Health Approaches

During the years around menopause, some women have hot flashes, night sweats, difficulty sleeping, or other troublesome symptoms. A variety of complementary health approaches have been studied to see whether they can help relieve these problems.

Yoga seems to be at least as effective as other types of exercise in relieving menopause symptoms.

Some studies of hypnotherapy and mindfulness meditation have had promising results. However, research on these approaches is in its early stages.

The evidence doesn't support claims that custom-mixed (compounded) bioidentical hormones are more effective than conventional hormone therapy.

NIAID scientists learned why some people receiving cancer treatments called Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors develop infections caused by Aspergillus fungi. The BTK pathway, which is blocked by the treatment, plays a crucial role in providing antifungal immunity. The scientists say this finding may lead to improved care for people receiving BTK inhibitors. The findings were published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.

The 4th of July is a favorite summer holiday for many. Summer weather, grilling season, festivals, and fireworks can make it a memorable time of year. But while the 4th of July is cherished by many, for others it can be stressful. Autistic children and adults may particularly find the 4th of July challenging due to large crowds, loud fireworks, and overall unpredictability. By taking proactive measures, we can ensure that 4th of July celebrations are inclusive and welcoming to everyone.

A Phase 1 trial of an experimental nasal COVID-19 vaccine is now enrolling healthy adults at three sites in the United States. This is the first time that the vaccine, which was designed and tested in pre-clinical studies by scientists from NIH's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), is being tested in people. The candidate vaccine could provide enhanced breadth of protection against emerging virus variants.
