Ontario is additionally attempting to dependably grow the extent of training for maternity specialists to enable them to endorse more meds to customers. This change will give more noteworthy decision and accommodation to families and lessen time that patients hang tight for meds and treatments.

Psychological trauma after miscarriage is more likely in women using assisted reproduction

2019-07-29

Unnatural birth cycle is the most widely recognized inconvenience of pregnancy influencing 20% of all clinically perceived pregnancies. This investigation, directed at Queen Mary Hospital, The University of Hong Kong, planned to distinguish the mental effect following a first trimester premature delivery (under 12 weeks of development). Specialists looked at the pressure and tension wretchedness levels between ladies who considered normally and the individuals who required helped propagation. Altogether 150 ladies, 75 in the common origination gathering and 75 in the helped proliferation gathering, were checked between 2008 - 2010.

A new method for developing artificial ovaries

2019-02-28

A artificial ovary would enable ladies to fall pregnant, in spite of experiencing disease and the solid medicine utilized during chemotherapy that can unfavorably influence patients' ripeness. Established researchers has been exploring how best to reproduce female ovaries in the lab and which materials to use for quite a while. An interdisciplinary group of specialists made up of designers and materials researchers at the Chair of Bio materials at FAU and gynecologists and normal researchers at the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at Universitätsklinikum Erlangen is currently giving new methodologies.

Researchers explain muscle loss with menopause

2019-07-18

The examination explores mice whose ovaries were carefully evacuated just as mice without the estrogen receptor in their muscle undifferentiated organisms and assessed muscles' capacity to recover. It found that the loss of estrogen or hereditary cancellation of the estrogen receptor in muscle undifferentiated organisms prompted a 30 to 60 percent drop in muscle immature microorganism (otherwise called satellite cell) numbers crosswise over five unique muscles. The enduring cells had serious trouble recreating themselves and producing new muscle after damage. The investigation additionally incorporated a coordinated effort with researchers in Finland who performed muscle biopsies in ladies in the blink of an eye when the change to menopause. This demonstrated in people, the quantity of satellite cells related emphatically with changing serum estrogen levels. "This is the main work to demonstrate that estrogen insufficiency influences the number just as the capacity of satellite cells," said Lowe.

For decades, the medical field has dismissed female health concerns. Women have been told that they’re imagining signs of heart attacks and other life-threatening ailments and had few resources devoted to researching their medical problems, but, at last, that seems to be changing.

Minimally invasive uterine fibroid treatment safer and as effective as surgical treatment

2019-08-13

UFE is a minimally-invasive treatment for uterine fibroids that is less painful, preserves the uterus and allows women to get back to their lives sooner than surgical options. However, past research suggests U.S. women, a majority of whom will experience uterine fibroids by age 50, are largely unaware of UFE despite more than 30 years as an evidence-based treatment.

More women using cannabis daily before and during pregnancy, research finds

2019-08-20

self-reported cannabis use among 276,991 pregnant women (representing 367,403 pregnancies) in Northern California over 9 years and found that cannabis use has increased over time. From 2009 to 2017, the adjusted prevalence of self-reported cannabis use in the year before pregnancy increased from 6.8% to 12.5%, and the adjusted prevalence of self-reported cannabis use during pregnancy increased from 1.9% to 3.4% (rates were adjusted for demographics). Annual rates of change in self-reported daily, weekly, and monthly-or-less cannabis use increased significantly, though daily use increased most rapidly.

Migraine increases the risk of complications during pregnancy and childbirth

2019-08-24

The study shows that pregnant women with migraine more often have complications in connection with their pregnancy and childbirth than women who don't suffer from migraine. Newborn babies whose mothers suffered from migraine during pregnancy also have an increased risk of complications such as respiratory distress and febrile seizures," says Nils Skajaa, BSc, who is the study's lead author. He is employed as a researcher at the Department of Clinical Epidemiology, Aarhus University and Aarhus University Hospital.

Mother's age, race, weight affect hormone concentrations in pregnancy

2019-08-27

The researchers looked at the concentrations of estrogens and testosterone in 548 healthy women in the first trimester of pregnancy in relation to their lifestyle to better understand what drives elevated sex hormones during fetal development. "Hormones in early development play a key role in human health and disease risk. Since we are unable to directly measure hormones in fetuses as they are developing, the next best way is to study the mother's hormones since they can be transferred to the fetus," said Emily Barrett, an associate professor at Rutgers School of Public Health and a faculty member at Rutgers Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences Institute.

Editorial: Trump’s abortion rule is devastating to women’s health

2019-08-28

Slowly but surely, day by day, Donald Trump and abortion foes are winning their War on Women in America. They are rapidly grinding down hard-fought victories achieved half a century ago for a woman’s right to choose, access to birth control and basic family planning services. Their ultimate goal is to re-create a Dark Ages of reproductive rights at the expense of America’s 120 million women — a health care system in which the Trump administration dictates what’s best for women. At issue is federal funding from Title X, a family-planning program signed into law by President Nixon in 1970 to provide birth control and other reproductive health care services for women. The Trump administration has issued a new rule prohibiting providers who receive Title X money from referring patients to an abortion service even upon request.

Preventative antibiotics after assisted childbirth almost halve maternal infection rate and reduce overall antibiotic use

2019-09-05

The first randomised trial of its kind in the UK involving 3,420 women from 27 obstetric units, published in The Lancet, also found that for every additional 100 doses of antibiotic given prophylactically, 168 doses could be avoided due to fewer postdelivery infections -- meaning that a policy of universal prophylaxis after birth could help to reduce antibiotic use by 17%. Infection rates after assisted vaginal birth without antibiotic prophylaxis are around 16% worldwide, and up to 25% after caesarean section. In 2016, an estimated 19,500 women died because of pregnancy-related infections globally. Even in high-income settings, infections account for 1 in 20 maternal deaths, and as many as 1 in 8 in the USA. For every woman who dies from pregnancy-related infection, another 70 women develop a severe infection and survive often with long-term health consequences.

Uterine fibroids

2019-09-09

Fibroids may be removed simply by means of a hysterectomy, but much more favourably by a myomectomy or by uterine artery embolization, which preserve the uterus. Fibroids, particularly when small, may be entirely asymptomatic. Generally, symptoms relate to the location of the lesion and its size.Important symptoms include abnormal gynecologic hemorrhage, pain, urinary frequency or retention, and in some cases, infertility.During pregnancy they may be the cause of miscarriage, bleeding, premature labor, or interference with the position of the fetus. Very few lesions are or become malignant.Signs that a fibroid may be malignant are rapid growth or growth after menopause.

A simpler way to choose the sex of offspring by separating X and Y sperm

2019-09-18

The authors found that almost 500 genes are active only in X-bearing sperm, of which 18 genes encoded receptors; because of their functions to response to ligand stimuli this made them good candidates for manipulating the sperm. They focused on a pair of receptors called Toll-like receptor 7 and 8 (TLR7/8) and found that a chemical that bound to the receptors slowed sperm motility without impairing either sperm fertilization ability or viability. They showed the effect was due to impaired energy production within the sperm and could be reversed by removal of the chemical from the medium. Treatment of mouse sperm with this X-retarding chemical, followed by in vitro fertilization with the fastest swimmers, led to litters that were 90% male. When the slower swimmers were used instead, the litters were 81% female.

A simpler way to choose the sex of offspring by separating X and Y sperm

2019-10-16

Most cells from male mammals contain both an X and a Y chromosome, but during sperm development (spermatogenesis), the X and Y chromosomes are segregated into different cells so that an individual sperm will carry either one or the other, with an X chromosome giving rise to daughters and a Y chromosome to sons. Unlike the Y chromosome, which carries very few genes, the X chromosome carries many, some of which remain active in the maturing sperm. This difference in gene expression between X- and Y-bearing sperm provides a theoretical basis for distinguishing the two.

Point-of-care diagnostic for detecting preterm birth on horizon

2019-10-29

A new study provides a first step toward the development of an inexpensive point-of-care diagnostic test to assess the presence of known risk factors for preterm birth in resource-poor areas. The study found that measuring levels of TIMP-1 and D-lactic acid in vaginal secretions may be a noninvasive, cost-effective way to assess the risk for preterm birth due to a short cervix and microbiome composition.

Point-of-care diagnostic for detecting preterm birth on horizon

2019-12-10

Complications of preterm birth account for roughly a third of the world's 3.1 million neonatal deaths each year. For years, clinicians have known that a short cervical length and depletion of Lactobacillus species in the vaginal microbiome are significant risk factors for preterm birth. In prosperous countries, most pregnant women undergo a transvaginal ultrasound at 18 to 24 weeks gestation, to determine cervical length, and women with a short cervix are treated with progesterone, a cerclage, or a cervical pessary, to reduce the likelihood of premature delivery. Similarly, women who show signs of bacterial vaginosis, by microscopy of Gram-stained smears or various diagnostics based on gene amplification, are given antibiotics to restore dominance of lactobacilli and reduce the risk of preterm birth.

DNA Damage to Breast Cells from chemicals in some cosmetics, sunscreens

2020-01-17

A new approach to studying the effects of two common chemicals used in cosmetics and sunscreens found they can cause DNA damage in breast cells at surprisingly low concentrations, while the same dose did not harm cells without estrogen receptors.
