A new non-invasive prenatal testing method is being launched in India that can detect chromosomal and genetic disorders like Down syndrome through a blood test of the mother, avoiding the risks of invasive testing. Currently 32,000 babies with Down syndrome are born in India each year. A study of 500 pregnant women found the new method was safer and could qualify as an advanced screening option. The testing identifies cell-free fetal DNA in the mother's blood and will help detect intellectual disabilities and other potential diseases in children.

Abstract final
This study analyzed 113 cases of eclampsia at a tertiary health care center in India from 2009-2010. The incidence of eclampsia was found to be 1.52% of total deliveries. Most patients were young (20-24 years old), primigravid, uneducated, and from a lower socioeconomic class. The majority of cases presented as ante partum eclampsia between 28-36 weeks gestation. Caesarean section was the most common delivery method. The study found maternal morbidity to be 7.05% with complications including cerebrovascular accidents, renal failure, and sepsis. The maternal mortality rate was 5.29% primarily due to cerebrovascular accidents

7ème Journée de la Recherche Clinique: Training family doctors to use brief i...Hopitaux Universitaires de Genève
This document describes a cluster randomized controlled trial that assessed the effectiveness of training family doctors to deliver brief interventions addressing excessive substance use in young patients aged 15-24. 600 young patients were recruited from 32 family practices randomized to an intervention or control arm. Doctors in the intervention arm received 5 hours of training in brief intervention techniques. The trial found no evidence that the brief interventions reduced excessive substance use at 3, 6, or 12-month follow-ups compared to the control arm among those who were excessive substance users at baseline. However, the study suggests primary care physicians may still play a role in modifying young people's substance use trajectories over the long term.Diethylstilbestrol (DES) Ethical Violations
This document summarizes a study from the 1940s-1950s that investigated the use of diethylstilbestrol (DES) to prevent miscarriages and complications in pregnancy. The study was conducted at Harvard, Tulane, and the University of Chicago and was found to be unethical as it did not obtain informed consent from participants, exposed women to unnecessary harm, and violated principles of voluntary participation and self-determination. While the data should be used cautiously, the study overall should not have been conducted due to the ethical violations and long term health risks it posed.

The most common cause of visual impairment was refractive errors. The study concludes effective vision screening in schools can help detect correctable issues like refractive errors and minimize long-term visual disability.
MedReg+1 Introduction
This document discusses the challenges women doctors face when returning to clinical practice after parental leave. It notes that women now make up over half of medical students and the majority of doctors in training, but are underrepresented in leadership positions and academic roles. It states that around half of doctors have their first child while in training positions requiring long hours, which can make reconciling parenthood and medicine difficult. Upon returning from maternity leave, some trainees feel a loss of competence, confidence, and familiarity in an unfamiliar work environment. The document explores the practical challenges of arranging childcare, dealing with on-call schedules, and maintaining work-life balance after parental leave for medical trainees.

This research article summarizes a study assessing the quality of neonatal healthcare in Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania. The study reviewed clinical records of 82 ill or premature neonates admitted to 13 hospitals in the region. It found that key health information was missing from many records, including maternal health details and neonatal vital signs. No hospital had a functioning premature baby unit despite over 45% of babies being preterm. While some essential supplies and equipment were generally available, medication dosing errors were common. Staffing levels were also low based on WHO standards. The conclusion is that key aspects of neonatal care in the region were poorly documented and implemented, and quality improvement efforts are needed to help this vulnerable group.

The effect of regular home visits on the development indices of low birth wei...Journal of Research in Biology
The main purpose of the present study was to determine the effect of regular home visits on the developmental indices of low birth weight infants. The present study was an on-site clinical investigation. 90 infants ranging between 1500 to 2500g born in Razi Hospital of Marand town having the entrance criteria to the present study were taken into consideration through the available sampling method and then they were divided into two intervention and control groups. The intervention group has received the whole routine cares since the first to fourth week and then they were visited at home for 45 minutes a week. The control group received the routine cares. The evolutionary indices of both groups were also completed monthly for three months by referring homes. The related data gathering tool was also subjected to the demographic information through registration list and the Persian version of the Low Weight Infant Inventory (LWII) (2 months) that have been completed by the researcher on the birthday, first, second and third months of the birth through the interview. SPSS-15 software and the application of the inferential and descriptive statistical tests (K2 and T-tests) were also applied in order to analyze the related data in this study. The significance level was considered as p<0.05.
More than half of these related research units of both groups had experience (61.5%) and control (55.8%) regarding all women in this study; the mean score of the low weight infants on the first month had not shown any statistical significant difference; but on the second months (p=0.04) and the third months (p=0.001), they had shown statistical significant difference progressively. The healthcare based on home-visit had influence on the recovery indices of the low weight infants. Hence, nurses and other health monitors of the infants should apply for the healthcare programs based on home-visit particularly in caring infants.Warland fm s
- Decreased fetal movement (DFM) is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes like growth restriction and stillbirth. 42.6% of women who experienced late-term stillbirth reported DFM, compared to 9% of controls.
- A large RCT found that asking women to count fetal movements ("count to ten") did not reduce stillbirth rates compared to usual care. However, across the entire cohort, stillbirth rates fell below what was expected.
- Several studies found that decreased fetal movement near term, rather than earlier in pregnancy, increases the risk of stillbirth substantially. Women should contact their provider about any concerns of DFM, rather than waiting.

Arsenic in Drinking water and Birth Outcomes
This study assessed the impact of arsenic exposure on pregnancy outcomes in Bangladesh. Water samples were collected from 2,189 women who gave birth in 2002 to test for arsenic levels. The majority (72%) of women were exposed to arsenic levels above 50 ppb. Rates of adverse outcomes like abortion, premature birth, low birth weight, and neonatal death were higher in women exposed to higher arsenic levels. Statistically significant differences were found for low birth weight, premature birth, and abortion between the exposed and non-exposed groups. Further study is needed to better establish these findings through more precise exposure assessment.
Cancer treatment during pregnancy not unsafe
A new study of over 100 children who were exposed to cancer treatment during their mother's pregnancy in the last two trimesters showed that the children had normal cognitive and cardiac function. The study found no difference in cardiac or cognitive development between children exposed to cancer treatment in utero and a control group. This suggests that termination of pregnancy or early preterm delivery is not necessarily warranted to enable a pregnant woman to receive cancer treatment, as exposure during the later stages of pregnancy appears to pose no additional risks to the child's development.

It proposes activities like needs assessments, advocacy, and targeted technical assistance, as well as implementation research on improving care along the continuum from households to facilities.
Introduction to new born screening
Newborn screening involves laboratory tests, diagnostics, and therapeutic measures aimed at pre-symptomatically identifying infants affected by frequent, severe but usually treatable conditions. It has become one of the best accepted preventive pediatric procedures. The screening is a combination of taking a blood sample from infants 2-5 days after birth, testing the sample for various disorders like phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroidism, and galactosemia, and reporting or recalling babies based on the results within 10 days for optimal health monitoring. Timely sample collection, shipping, laboratory work, and reporting of results is important for newborn screening.

Arsenic in Drinking water and Birth Outcomes
This study assessed the impact of arsenic exposure on pregnancy outcomes in Bangladesh. Water samples were collected from 2,189 women who gave birth in 2002 to test for arsenic levels. The majority (72%) of women were exposed to arsenic levels above 50 ppb. Rates of adverse outcomes like abortion, premature birth, low birth weight, and neonatal death were higher in women exposed to higher arsenic levels. Statistically significant differences were found for low birth weight, premature birth, and abortion between the exposed and non-exposed groups. Further study is needed to better establish these findings through more precise exposure assessment.
Cancer treatment during pregnancy not unsafe
A new study of over 100 children who were exposed to cancer treatment during their mother's pregnancy in the last two trimesters showed that the children had normal cognitive and cardiac function. The study found no difference in cardiac or cognitive development between children exposed to cancer treatment in utero and a control group. This suggests that termination of pregnancy or early preterm delivery is not necessarily warranted to enable a pregnant woman to receive cancer treatment, as exposure during the later stages of pregnancy appears to pose no additional risks to the child's development.

Introduction to new born screening
Newborn screening involves laboratory tests, diagnostics, and therapeutic measures aimed at pre-symptomatically identifying infants affected by frequent, severe but usually treatable conditions. It has become one of the best accepted preventive pediatric procedures. The screening is a combination of taking a blood sample from infants 2-5 days after birth, testing the sample for various disorders like phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroidism, and galactosemia, and reporting or recalling babies based on the results within 10 days for optimal health monitoring. Timely sample collection, shipping, laboratory work, and reporting of results is important for newborn screening.

Newborn Screening
Newborn screening is a public health program that screens infants shortly after birth for treatable genetic or metabolic conditions. The goal is early detection so medical treatment can be promptly initiated to prevent irreversible damage. Conditions commonly screened for include phenylketonuria, congenital hypothyroidism, galactosemia, and maple syrup urine disease. Screening methods have advanced from bacterial assays of individual conditions to tandem mass spectrometry, which can screen for over 50 conditions in a single test.
The importance of screening newborn babies for birth defects
Screenings of newborn babies are designed to pursue early recognition of certain disorders with an aim to prevent serious consequences in the future. However, it is important to know that these screenings are not necessarily confirmatory diagnosis and may demand further investigations.
New born screening
The document discusses newborn screening in India, arguing that it is needed to prevent health issues. It outlines the components of newborn screening programs and principles from Wilson and Jungner. Internationally, most Western countries screen for various treatable genetic disorders. In India, pilot studies found higher rates of congenital hypothyroidism than the West. The document recommends starting screening for congenital hypothyroidism, congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and G6PD deficiency in urban Indian hospitals. It stresses the need for diagnostic confirmation, treatment facilities, and quality assurance before a national newborn screening program is implemented.
Newborn screening
Newborn screening is a simple heel prick procedure done to detect potential metabolic disorders in babies that could lead to mental retardation or death if left untreated. The screening is usually done between 48-72 hours of life and involves collecting a few drops of blood onto a special card that is then sent to a newborn screening center. If certain disorders are detected, early treatment can prevent negative consequences. Parents should ensure their baby receives this screening, as it can help identify disorders that may not yet show symptoms. Those with positive results require follow-up specialist testing and management to ensure the baby's health and development.

Children detected with issues are referred to District Early Intervention Centers for treatment and services. The program aims to reduce child mortality, improve quality of life, and lessen economic burden through systematic screening and timely intervention.
New born screeing
Newborn screening uses blood tests to detect treatable genetic, metabolic, and hematologic disorders in newborns. These disorders can hinder development if not diagnosed early. The first screening tests for phenylketonuria were developed in the 1960s, and screening has since expanded to include over 30 disorders. Blood is collected via a heel prick and tested using techniques like tandem mass spectrometry that can screen for multiple disorders from a single sample. If abnormalities are detected, specialists evaluate and treat the infant as needed.
Expanded Newborn Screening
The document discusses newborn screening for metabolic disorders using tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). It begins with the story of Tyler Wayne who died from undiagnosed galactosemia.

ISPAT Newsletter November 2018
The document discusses newborn screening (NBS), which tests newborns for certain disorders and conditions that can compromise development if undetected. While NBS successfully lowers infant mortality, it has not addressed the increase in disabilities. The document advocates beginning NBS programs in India to detect conditions like congenital hypothyroidism and prevent associated morbidities and financial burdens. NBS programs require epidemiological data, ethical and economical consideration, and availability of screening tests, treatment, and intervention timelines. The document encourages starting regional NBS centers in India to prevent childhood disabilities and mortality from treatable metabolic diseases.

This document discusses water birth, which involves giving birth in a warm water pool. Key points include:
- Water birth can help reduce pain during labor by providing warmth, buoyancy, and freedom of movement. It also helps lower blood pressure and stress hormones.
- Risks are low but include possible water aspiration or infection for the baby. Conditions like breech presentation or infection make water birth inadvisable.
- Most professional organizations support water birth for low-risk pregnancies if protocols for safety, cleanliness and monitoring are followed. Water birth may shorten labor but data is limited on its risks and benefits during the second stage of labor.

Human Sexuality
Human sexuality makes it achievable for people and animals to express themselves as sexual beings. Sexuality is one of the reasons behind the feeling that everyone has the thoughts and the manner in which we behave. Sexuality defines the manner, in which biological reproduction comes about, it goes ahead to describe the sociological and psychological representation of oneself and the way a person is attracted to others especially of the opposite sex. Human sexuality is a sensitive issue across both sexes. It is an issue that is handled with confidentiality respects for individual’s rights and dignity which is an ethical principle. Through sex, children get an opportunity to bond with each other, adolescents get time to flirt and adults go ahead into having babies.
The good sexual and reproductive state can be categorized as a mental, physical and social stability of an individual that is directly related to the reproductive system. This means that people are able to have a satisfied and safe sexual life. They also have freedom when it comes to matters of reproduction and child bearing. They are able to determine when to reproduce, why they need to do so and how often they need to have children. For one to be able to maintain the best sexual and reproductive practices it is important to seek for important information which is accurate pertaining to the use of contraceptives and how regularly they need to use them. It is important for people to be well informed for the purpose of doing away with unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. (Rainwater, 2017).
When women are ready and psychologically prepared to have children, they must be able to access to important advice from physicians make it easy for them to go through the pregnancy period to delivery and thus a healthy baby. When it comes to sexuality and reproductive health everyone must be given a chance to make their own choices. This is respecting other peoples right and dignity. It is applicable by recognizing the worth of the individual through engaging in professional and positive interactions without creating a direct influence of the decisions. Comment by Mccaa Russum: Good statement but what does this have to do with professional behaviors in regard to professional ethical behaviors?
Contraceptives
It took time for people to accept the idea of using contraceptives. Most people in society thought that the use of contraceptives would lead to barrenness and even miscarriages. Through continuous education and campaigns, it has become easy for parents to take up the responsibility and use contraceptives to avoid unwanted pregnancy and to.

Poverty changes dna of people, may make them drug addicts
Living in poverty can cause changes to a person's DNA that increases the likelihood of depression, anxiety, and drug use. Researchers found that teenagers from low socioeconomic backgrounds showed changes to a gene linked to increased activity in the brain's fear and stress response center. This epigenetic change was also associated with lower levels of serotonin and can be passed to future generations. The study examined changes to the SLC6A4 gene in 132 adolescents over two years, finding that those from poorer backgrounds accumulated higher levels of a chemical tag on the gene, making their amygdala more sensitive to fearful stimuli.

This document summarizes the motivation for the CyberSenga project, which aimed to develop an online HIV prevention program for adolescents in Uganda. It notes that while Uganda has had success reducing HIV rates, prevalence among youth is rising. Existing prevention focuses heavily on abstinence over condom use. A 2005 survey found 88% of Ugandan youth had Internet access, mostly at school, and 35% used it for HIV information. The CyberSenga project aimed to develop an online HIV prevention program to engage youth and better promote safe sex practices.Breast cancer stigma.pdf
This study analyzed breast cancer stigma among Indonesian women with breast cancer. The key findings were:
1) Women experienced feelings of fear and shame associated with their breast cancer diagnosis. One woman delayed seeking medical treatment for 3 months due to embarrassment.
2) Most women first sought alternative treatments like "kerokan" (skin scraping) for their breast pain due to financial difficulties and viewing breast cancer symptoms as a cold.
3) Women were usually diagnosed with advanced-stage cancer after eventually returning to healthcare facilities, since early breast cancer symptoms were not well understood and discouraged early screening and treatment. Understanding symptoms better could motivate earlier treatment.
Medical ethics- sex selection
The document discusses the controversy around sex selection. It notes that while some countries allow sex selection for medical reasons, many prohibit it due to social impacts like skewed sex ratios. The document outlines different views on whether sex selection is acceptable for non-medical use or only in cases of serious genetic diseases. It also notes debates around the safety and effectiveness of sex selection technologies as well as the "slippery slope" concern of it leading to designing children for non-medical traits. On balance, the document concludes sex selection should only be used for severe medical purposes.

ABSTRACT- Background: Women of all races and ethnicities are at risk of cervical cancer. India, around 0.95 million new cases are detected yearly with high burden of 0.63 million. India bears about one fifth of the world’s burden of cervical cancer. Although fatality is high but cancers are largely preventable by effective screening programmes. Design: The present quasi-experimental study was conducted among female students studying in degree colleges from Feb. 2013 to Sept. 2013. Intervention: Educational intervention was conducted through sessions of participatory learning approach which included lectures using power-point, chalk and talk and question-answers method. Data was collected twice by administering predesigned questionnaire and conducting focus group discussion. Data Analysis: Data entered and analyzed using Epi Info 2000. To analyze qualitative information Atlas ti software was used. Paired t-test was used to measure the effect of intervention. Results: Total 149 students were the part of the study and successfully followed. Mean age of the participant was 18.5 years. Out of the 149 participants 4.1% had family history of the cancer. In the study it was observed that 18.8% had not ever heard about the cancer. In the post intervention test significant improvement was seen in all three parameters viz knowledge, attitude and practices. Conclusion: Continuing Educational interventions should be started at all level which highlights the importance of screening and prevention of cancer in women. Key-words- Cervical Cancer, Women, Perception Barriers, EffectivenessGoing on the pill may up risk of brain tumour
Taking hormonal contraceptives like the pill for at least five years may increase women's risk of developing a rare brain tumor called a glioma. While little is known about the causes of brain tumors, female sex hormones may increase the risk of some cancer types. However, contraceptive use may reduce the risk of certain cancers in some age groups. The risks are small but scientists warn women about the potential increased risk.

Chikungunya goes viral in capital
An outbreak of chikungunya virus has spread like an epidemic in the capital city this year, with doctors seeing many young patients suffering from acute joint pain wheelchair bound. While only a few labs can test for the virus, it is estimated that 80% of patients presenting with viral fever and joint pain symptoms at some hospitals have tested positive for chikungunya. The outbreak has been attributed to increased mosquito breeding due to heavy monsoon rains. Treatment involves painkillers, though paracetamol often provides little relief from the debilitating joint pain associated with the illness.
Your plastic water bottle could be as dirty as your toilet
Researchers tested four types of reusable water bottles and found that bottles that were used for a week without washing had more bacteria than a toilet seat. Specifically, the slide-top bottle had more bacteria than an average toilet seat, pet bowl, or kitchen sink. Over 60% of the bacteria found on the bottles could make people sick. The cleanest bottle type tested was the straw-top bottle, and researchers also found that stainless steel bottles were healthier options than plastic bottles.

How pizza shops, steakhouses harm environment
Pizza shops and steakhouses that use charcoal or wood burners produce significant emissions and damage the environment in major cities like Sao Paulo, Brazil. A study found emissions from thousands of pizza shops and domestic waste burning contribute to Sao Paulo's air pollution problems despite its green vehicle policies. While vehicles use cleaner biofuels, emissions from over 800 pizza shops using wood burning stoves daily and over 1,000 pizzas produced for home delivery weekly on wood burning stoves negate some of the environmental benefits.

Gm mosquitoes to fight malaria
Bill Gates says that genetically modified mosquitoes may be used to fight malaria within the next five years. Researchers are using a gene editing technique called a "gene drive" to alter mosquitoes so they are resistant to diseases like malaria and dengue. Gates believes this technology could dramatically reduce malaria deaths by suppressing mosquito populations. However, some scientists have raised concerns that unintended mutations in released mosquitoes could have unknown consequences.
Shifting can be hazardous to health
A study from the University of Manchester found that frequent childhood moves, especially during early adolescence, are linked to higher risks of negative outcomes in adulthood such as suicide attempts, criminal violence, mental illness, substance abuse, and premature death. The researchers collected data on all people born in Denmark from 1971 to 1997, documenting every residential move from birth to age 14, and correlated subsequent adverse events in adulthood.
Heart disease, cholesterol not linked
An international team of scientists reviewed 19 previous studies involving 68,000 elderly people and found no link between high cholesterol levels and heart disease in those over 60 years old. The study suggests that 92% of elderly people with high cholesterol lived as long or longer than those with low cholesterol. The authors call for a reevaluation of statin prescriptions for the elderly, but their findings have been criticized by other academics who question the research methods. Some experts say that as people age, many other factors impact health, making the effects of high cholesterol less clear.
India faces diabetes explosion
India has seen a decline in childhood stunting but now faces rising issues with diabetes and being overweight. The number of diabetics in India is projected to increase to over 100 million in the next 15 years. While India has made progress against undernutrition, public health policies now need to also address the growing problems of overnutrition and diabetes. Non-communicable diseases like heart disease also place a large economic burden on Indian families.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Prenatal testing to detect genetic flaws to be launched
- 1. Prenatal testing to detect genetic flaws to be launched 32,000 Babies With Down Syndrome Born Every Yr In India
- 2. Contd.. Now, it may be easier to detect and prevent the birth of children affected with chromosomal and genetic disorder, which account for 30-40% of mental and social handicaps. A revolutionary screening method -non-invasive prenatal testing -is set to be launched in India later this week which will allow safer and definite detection of such disorders in pregnant woman. Chromosomal and genetic disorders cause severe problems such as mental retardation, heart and intestinal diseases. Of these, Down syndrome is the commonest, say experts. Currently , the incidence of Down syndrome is 1:800, which means approximately 32,000 babies with Down syndrome are born ev ery year (the birth rate of India is 25.6 million births).
- 3. Contd.. A new study , conducted at Sir Ganga Ram Hospital in New Delhi, showed that noninvasive prenatal testing qualifies as an “advanced“ screening test. The study , conducted to assess the utility of the test, also depicts it as a safer screening option as compared to existing testing methods which have a risk of abortion. The test was offered to 500 pregnant women during the study . “Non-invasive technology is safer because it can be done by taking the mother's blood instead of putting a needle to take out the fluid as is done in invasive procedure, where there is a risk of abortion of the fetal,“ says Dr I C Verma, head, department of medical genetics, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital.
- 4. Contd.. The non-invasive prenatal testing technology involves testing the cell- free fetal DNA which is present in the maternal blood. According to Dr Verma, the test will bring a paradigm change in diagnostic because it will help detect children to be born with intellectual disabilities and other potential diseases. Intellectual disability affects about 3% of the general population and is associated with series of mental and social handicaps.
