Osphena is an estrogen agonist/antagonist, also known as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM). This medication attaches to estrogen receptors (binding sites). In certain tissues, Osphena will promote estrogen-related pathways. In other tissues, however, Osphena may block estrogen-related pathways. So, Osphena’s estrogen effects are tissue-specific. Osphena is available as a prescription tablet. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has a black box warning of an increased risk of blood clots and stroke for Osphena....

“The National Hockey League mourns the passing of Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk. The words ‘passion’ and ‘commitment’ define the man who has owned the Ottawa Senators since 2003,” NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said in a statement released on Monday. “Whether it was in the boardroom with his fellow governors, at the rink with his beloved Senators or in the community with his philanthropy, he cared deeply about the game, about his team and about bettering the lives of those in need, particularly underserved children, organ donation and, most recently, with his commitment to his parents’ home country of Ukraine....
