That's what scientists in the Netherlands have done. Reporting in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, they report that a simple blood test, for a hormone called anti-Mullerian hormone (AMH), could help women predict when they will enter menopause, and therefore how to set their fertility timetable. "Predicting menopause itself might not be that interesting," admits Dr. Jeroen van Disseldorp, lead author of the study and a fertility specialist at University Medical Center Utrecht. "But menopause is associated with fertility. So, predicting menopause might become more and more important in the future as women continue to delay...
...then compared these levels to those of over 3,000 women aged 58 to 70 who had undergone menopause. By creating a regression curve, he determined a cutoff level of AMH that triggered menopause, and by placing the young women along this curve based on their AMH levels, could predict when they would hit the Change - and how many more years of fertility they could expect...
Fans of what are known officially as very light jets - sometimes called microjets or "minivans with wings" - predict that this new class of aircraft will democratize private air travel on the Continent much as low-cost carriers opened up commercial aviation to the masses. Microjets start at $1.5 million, a fraction of the $8 million price tag of the cheapest business jets currently on the market. Thanks to their more efficient fuel use, very light jets will also cost some 50% less to fly, allowing air-taxi and corporate shuttle services to sell a seat on one for about...
...elections see the British National Party pick up its first-ever Assembly seats. Promising to "stop immigration", to give "British jobs to British workers" and to "House British people first," the party is hoping its crude populist message will resonate with white Londoners. Some pollsters predict they'll win one or two seats. It's a timely reminder that politics isn't always a laughing matter...
