Drugs and the brain
This document discusses how drugs and alcohol work in the brain by interacting with neurotransmitters like dopamine and serotonin. It explains that drugs can mimic neurotransmitters, stimulate their release, or prevent their reuptake. While drugs may temporarily change mood or perception, they can also cause long-term brain damage and addiction. However, natural activities like exercise, meditation, helping others, and hobbies can also elevate mood through neurotransmitters without harm. Making natural highs a regular part of life may help reduce reliance on drugs and alcohol for their perceived benefits.

Music and development
1. The document discusses how music is processed from a very early age, even in the womb. Studies show fetuses can distinguish different sounds and types of music, and may learn and develop preferences.
2. Research on prenatal music stimulation provides evidence that it can positively influence fetal development and newborn behaviors. Babies exposed to music in the womb tend to be more advanced in motor skills, language, and cognition.
3. While prenatal music exposure may provide benefits, experts caution that overstimulation should be avoided. Creating a low-stress environment with mild, relaxing music is generally recommended.
Nursery rhymes
The document lists the titles of over 50 classic English nursery rhymes and children's songs. Some of the rhymes mentioned include "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", "Mary Had a Little Lamb", "Humpty Dumpty", "Jack and Jill", "Old MacDonald", and "Ring Around the Rosie".
NURSING THEORY Martha Rogers - The Science of Unitary Human Beings
- Martha Rogers developed the Science of Unitary Human Beings (SUBH) nursing theory, which views humans as indivisible energy fields that continuously interact with the environmental energy field.
- The major concepts of SUBH are energy fields, openness, pattern, and pandimensionality. The principles of homeodynamics are integrality, resonancy, and helicy.
- SUBH emphasizes assessment of the human-environment energy field pattern, mutual patterning to establish harmony between the fields, and reevaluation of patterns. It informed nursing education, practice using non-invasive modalities, and research.

It also discusses the history of early childhood music education and approaches from thinkers like Rousseau and Montessori. Additionally, it outlines the role of music and movement in child development and how music programs can be created and presented in a developmentally appropriate way.
Teratology
Teratology is the study of abnormal development and birth defects. It examines the causes, mechanisms, and patterns of abnormal development. There are four main types of congenital anomalies: malformations, disruptions, deformations, and dysplasias. Teratogens are environmental agents that can disrupt normal development and cause birth defects when a pregnant woman is exposed. Common teratogens include alcohol, cigarettes, medications like Accutane and certain antidepressants, radiation, retinoic acid, and the infamous thalidomide drug scandal of the 1950s. James Wilson proposed six principles of teratology to describe susceptibility factors, developmental windows of vulnerability, mechanisms of action, access of influences, manifestations of effects, and dose-
Teratogens1 1
Teratogens are agents that can disrupt prenatal development and increase the risk of birth defects. The timing of exposure to teratogens is critical, as each organ system develops most rapidly at different times. Thalidomide, taken in the late 1950s to treat morning sickness, caused limb deformities when taken during the period of limb development between weeks 3 and 4 of pregnancy. While some effects depended on the specific week of exposure, thalidomide demonstrated that the timing of exposure is important for the type of birth defect caused. Many common substances like alcohol, nicotine, pesticides and other chemicals can be teratogenic if the mother is exposed during pregnancy.
6-Birth-Defects.ppt
Birth defects are abnormalities present at birth that can cause disabilities or death. They range from minor to serious and affect about 150,000 babies born in the US each year. Common birth defects include spina bifida, caused by inadequate folic acid during early pregnancy and clubfoot. Spina bifida occurs when the bones of the spinal column do not fully close, leaving an opening. Early prenatal surgery may help repair some birth defects. Fetal alcohol syndrome, caused by drinking during pregnancy, can result in physical deformities and neurological issues. Cerebral palsy is caused by brain injury before or during birth and results in difficulties with movement and posture. Down syndrome, caused by an extra 21st chromosome, leads to intellectual

The document discusses National Indoor Toxic Mold Awareness Month and provides information about molds and mycotoxins. It notes that over 200 mold species can be found indoors and outdoors, some of which produce toxic mycotoxins. Exposure to mold spores and mycotoxins can cause various health issues, from skin irritation to respiratory illness to cancer. It is estimated that mold exposure causes 500,000 deaths per year in the U.S. The document provides references and links for additional information.
The Dormant Threat Of Smallpox
The document discusses the history and threat of smallpox. It caused major outbreaks for centuries until being eradicated in 1980. However, concerns remain about its potential use for bioterrorism given its high contagiousness and lethality. The smallpox vaccine played a key role in eradicating the disease, but controversies remain over mandatory vaccination policies. Any new outbreaks could have major public health impacts given most populations no longer have immunity.
Wifi - a thalidomide in the making - who cares
This document discusses the health risks of Wi-Fi exposure, particularly for pregnant women and children. It cites several studies that found Wi-Fi exposure was linked to increased rates of miscarriage, fetal abnormalities, and genetically damaged children. Exposure to Wi-Fi by young girls could damage their future children's DNA through irradiation of their ovarian follicles. Several government studies dating back to the 1980s documented health risks from low-level microwave radiation like Wi-Fi, but this evidence was suppressed to protect industry profits.
Thalidomide
Thalidomide is a sedative that caused severe birth defects in the 1960s when prescribed to pregnant women for morning sickness. It was discovered to be a potent teratogen, causing babies to be born with phocomelia (flipper-like limbs) and other malformations. While no longer prescribed for pregnancy, thalidomide is still used today under strict controls to treat cancers, leprosy, and other conditions. Several famous individuals were born with defects due to their mothers taking thalidomide, including musicians Thomas Quasthoff and Terry Wiles.
Mutatio
1. Progeria is a rare genetic disorder that causes accelerated aging. Children with progeria typically die of age-related diseases like heart attack or stroke by age 13. It is caused by a mutation in the LMNA gene and symptoms include rigid skin, baldness, bone abnormalities, and a characteristic nasal shape. Progeria is studied to help understand the aging process.
2. Uner Tan syndrome is a controversial condition where people walk on all fours. It was proposed by Turkish biologist Uner Tan after studying a family in Turkey with this trait. They have primitive speech and brain impairment. Tan believes it represents a backward stage in human evolution caused by a genetic mutation.

What We Know - New Science Linking our Health and the Environment
This document summarizes new scientific research linking environmental contaminants to human health issues. It discusses findings from biomonitoring studies that found hundreds of industrial chemicals in newborns and high levels of flame retardants in breast milk. Certain health problems like breast cancer, heart disease, endometriosis and fertility issues may be linked to environmental exposures. Minority populations often face disproportionate burdens of disease from environmental factors. The information provides context on definitions of terms like environmental contaminants and chemicals.
Chapter 19-respiratory-distress-syndr
Respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) affects premature infants who are unable to produce enough surfactant in their lungs. Surfactant allows the small air sacs in the lungs to remain open for breathing. Through research in the mid-20th century, scientists discovered that a lack of surfactant caused RDS. The development of surfactant replacement therapies dramatically reduced mortality from RDS. However, extremely premature infants are still at risk of chronic lung disease due to complications from RDS and its treatment. Ongoing research focuses on better prevention, treatment and management of RDS and its long term effects.
Environmental hazards & Human Health
A risk is the probability of suffering harm from a hazard that can cause injury, disease, death, economic loss, or damage.
Probability—a mathematical statement about the likelihood that harm will be suffered from a hazard.
“The lifetime probability of developing lung cancer from smoking one pack of cigarettes per day is 1 in 250.” This means that 1 of every 250 people who smoke a pack of cigarettes every day will likely develop lung cancer over a typical lifetime

The document discusses congenital anomalies (birth defects) that can occur during fetal development. It defines congenital anomalies as structural abnormalities present at birth, which can be caused by genetic factors like chromosomal abnormalities or gene mutations, or environmental factors like infections, radiation, chemicals, and maternal diseases during pregnancy. The most common types of abnormalities are malformations affecting organ formation, disruptions of formed structures, and deformations from mechanical forces. Prenatal screening techniques like ultrasound and tests of maternal serum can detect some anomalies, while invasive tests on amniotic fluid or placenta like amniocentesis or CVS allow for chromosomal analysis. Fetal therapy during pregnancy may help treat some conditions.

The drug causes terrible birth defects and the children of pregnant women taking the drug were often born with horrible malformations including shortened arms, hands extending directly from the shoulder, and the absence of the thumb and the adjoining bone in the lower arm. 15,000 children worldwide were born with these serious defects before the drugs were pulled off the market. http://www.voxpublica.org/archives/freddie.jpg

- 7. Ozone The ozone layer reflects or absorbs 99% of damaging UV rays from the sun, preventing them from reaching the earth’s surface. However, pollution is compromising the ozone layer allowing more and more of the UV rays to reach the earth’s surface. The ozone layer is a protective covering that surrounds most of the earth and protects us from harmful UV rays. It has three oxygen atoms, rather than two oxygen atoms like the form of oxygen we breathe during respiration. There are a number of activities and events that cause ozone destruction. Hydrogen bomb testing CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons) in aerosols and refrigerants Exhaust gases from supersonic aircraft Fertilizers and Volcanic eruptions.
