Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the evolution of the infertility industry in New York since the Baby M case, highlighting the rise of gestational carrier pregnancies and compensated surrogacy in various states due to advanced reproductive technologies.
- It notes that the USA has become a popular destination for international couples seeking surrogacy, driven by strong medical care, available gestational carriers, and citizenship benefits for children born through these arrangements.
- The author critiques the Child-Parent Security Act of 2021, pointing out the lack of strong regulations that protect gestational carriers and donor-conceived offspring, raising concerns about health risks, informed consent, and the market-driven nature of compensated surrogacy.
Objective: Although a majority of women (80%) at menopause experience hot flashes, the symptoms' physiological trigger has yet to be identified. To determine the relationship between glucose availability and hot flashes in menopausal women, hot flash frequency was compared between intervals while the subjects were fasting and/or infusing in a sample of menopausal women (38-55 years of age).
Design: An experimental study was conducted in 10 postmenopausal women taking hormone therapy (HT) between the ages of 38 and 55.
