Pregnancy Brain ..... 3 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Pregnancy Brain ..... 3 Posted on 26th June 2018 Clearly, there are many possible concerns that can crowd out a woman's brain during pregnancy, and these thoughts may make it difficult to remember certain things. And if there is a neurological explanation, it might simply be part of the way the body reallocates some resources to the development of parenting skills — shifts that are part of a normal, healthy pregnancy, Pawluski said. What's important, she added, is that even if there's not a strong scientific explanation for why your brain feels foggier, that doesn't mean your experience isn't valid or real. "If you think you're forgetting a lot, but I tell you you're not, that can cause a lot of anxiety," Pawluski said. So, go ahead — acknowledge that you might need a little more help remembering appointments and other ...

Pregnancy Brain....2 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Pregnancy Brain....2 Posted on 26th June 2018 There have been some studies, however, that have assessed the memory skills of pregnant women. In 2008, research out of Australia found that pregnant women performed just as well on memory tasks in the lab as nonpregnant women did, but the pregnant women didn't do as well on similar tasks at home. As the researchers told The Guardian that year, these results made the team think that some of a mother’s forgetfulness could be due to the drastic schedule and life adjustments pregnancy creates. To Marci Lobel, a psychologist who focuses on pregnancy at Stony Brook University in New York, these social explanations for "pregnancy brain" make sense. "I'm always wary about pathologizing women's health experiences, and attributing weaknesses (such as 'forgetting') to pregnancy itself when in...

Pregnancy Brain ..1 Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Pregnancy Brain ..1 Posted on 26th June 2018 Though pregnant women may notice changes in their memory, there's a host of other behavioral adaptions going on that may not be as obvious, such as increased awareness of potential threats. Indeed, pregnancy (and early postpartum) causes huge changes in a mother’s brain. "It is the time in your life [that your brain] is most plastic during adulthood," said Jodi Pawluski, a research associate who studies maternal mental health at the University of Rennes 1 in France. Raising a child and being attuned to their needs requires a parent's brain to forge new neurological connections that support these unfamiliar responsibilities, Pawluski told Live Science. Those changes stick around, too — a 2016 study published in the journal Nature used MRI scans to show that a specific pattern ...

Birth defects.... Parasite infections risk to Pregnant Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Birth defects.... Parasite infections risk to Pregnant Posted in 2013 Parasitic infection(s) during pregnancy have been associated with increased risk of pregnancy complications and adverse outcomes in low resource settings. However, little is known about their influence on pregnancy outcomes. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of parasitic infections and their association with pregnancy complications and adverse outcomes. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using maternally-linked data from Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Center (KCMC) medical birth registry. Birth records from all women who delivered singleton infants from 2000–2011 were utilized. We excluded multiple gestations and rural medical referral for various medical complications. A total of 30,797 births were evaluated. Da...

Birth defects .... Parasites infections Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Birth defects .... Parasites infections Posted in 2013 Although parasitic infections are common throughout the world, most clinicians are inexperienced in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases. Clinicians increasingly are confronted with parasitic infections, such as malaria, schistosomiasis, and trypanosomiasis, because of the increase in international travel and the recent immigration of persons from Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. Many parasitic infections may be encountered in tropical areas, and the effect of these diseases on less developed countries is staggering. Malaria, schistosomiasis, and filariasis affect 600 million people. 1  With an average of 5 million trips abroad each year, the probability that an American traveler may contract a parasitic infection is hig...

Birth defects...Parasite from Cats Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories Birth defects...Parasite from Cats Posted in 2013 The domestic cat and the rise of agriculture have spread a parasite that causes devastating birth defects in humans, according to a study published yesterday. More than a quarter of the world's population is now infected with toxoplasma gondii, a relative of the malaria bug. Infected people with weakened immunity often develop acute toxoplasmosis, which can lead to birth defects, brain inflammation and vision problems. It has also been suggested that the parasite, which invades the brain, may influence behaviour and trigger schizophrenia. An Anglo-American team reported yesterday in the journal Science how the organism came to infest almost all animals. Although it can sexually reproduce only in cats, the creature mutated so it could asexually reproduce...

What are  antibiotics? Brought to U.... http://successgain.us     and    http://successgain.info My memories What are antibiotics? Posted in 2015 What are anitibiotics? The US National Library of Medicine1 says that antibiotics - powerful medicines that fight bacterial infections - can save lives when used properly. Antibiotics either stop bacteria from reproducing or kill them. "Your body's natural defenses can usually take it from there." Before bacteria can multiply and cause symptoms, the body's immune system can usually destroy them. We have special white bloo d cells that attack harmful bacteria. Even if symptoms do occur, our immune system can usually cope and fight off the infection. There are occasions, however, when it is all too much and some help is needed.....from antibiotics. The first antibiotic was penicillin. Such penicillin-related antibiotics as ampicillin, amoxicillin and benzylpenicilllin are widely used today to trea...
