Many women are surprised by how much pain they experience during a medication abortion, a study published Tuesday in the journal BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health found. In the study, researchers looked at survey responses from about 1,600 women in the U.K. who had undergone a medication abortion and then answered questions about the experience. Women are often told to expect cramping akin to strong menstrual cramps during a medication abortion, both in the U.K. and in the U.S. “It’s important to be realistic about what women experience during medical abortion in order to provide meaningful patient-centred care.”Medication abortions involve taking two pills. Medication abortion will not work for an ectopic pregnancy, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

However, age-related cognitive decline is quite different from Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias and should not be confused with those, experts say. During the course of the research, however, over 1,000 of the participants had an acute myocardial infarction, or heart attack. Past studies found linkThis isn’t the first study to find a connection between accelerated cognitive decline and heart attacks, Smith and Silbert noted. As in the new study, people with heart attacks or angina (chest pain) had annual rates of cognitive decline before the attack similar to those of people who never had a heart attack, but then experienced accelerated cognitive decline, they added. Possible explanations may include depression after having a heart attack, which has been linked to dementia, they said.

For decades doctors have been telling their patients that high levels of HDL, otherwise known as “good cholesterol,” could protect them from heart disease. But a new study suggests that having a lot of so-called good cholesterol doesn’t mean a lower risk of heart attacks. The new findings surprised the researchers, who originally designed their study to understand how cholesterol levels in Black and white middle-aged adults without heart disease affected their future risks. Previous research on "good" cholesterol and heart disease consisted of mostly white adults. Low HDL levels were associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease in white participants, but not Black participants.
