Gestation

An inverse relation between peroxidase activity and ascorbate content suggests the involvement of ascorbate-peroxidase system in the increased secretion of progesterone resulting from LH action in rabbit. Also the same system renders some evidence for the involvement of this enzyme along with other factors in the process of implantation. Key Words: Reproductive tract, Peroxidase-Ascorbate system Pregnancy & Implantation Introduction: It has been reported that the LH in various species of…

preterm babies born before 26 weeks. Then a sampling frame was established, and a sample population was obtained. (Bruce, Pope, & Stanistreet, 2008). A sample of alive infants born between January 1, 1994, and December 31, 2005, before 26 weeks gestation to mothers with a home address in a specific geographic location (Trent region). The sample was based on people, place, and time (Bruce, Pope, & Stanistreet, 2008). Field et al. (2008) selected to conduct a prospective cohort study, over a…

An abortion is the termination of a pregnancy normally performed within the first 26 weeks of gestation. Abortion has been around since the 1800’s. We shouldn’t change that now. A woman has the right to her body, whether that means having a baby or having an abortion. If you look at this closely enough you will realize that it isn’t a clear decision. 18.6% of births are aborted, that means for every 1,000 births 186 are abortions. But, not every mother or couple has a choice. The mother could…

abortion should first get a sonogram to determine if the pregnancy is healthy and to find out how long they have been pregnant. The first type of abortion is called Aspiration. This type of abortion is done during the first 6 through 16 weeks of gestation. The cervix is numbed and then after it is wide…

hormones which are detected in early stages of pregnancy. β-hCG production can begin as early as the day of implantation and can be detected in as early as 7-10 days after conception. “The level of hCG increases until it peaks at about 60-70 days of gestation and then declines until about 80 days of pregnancy. It remains stable until about 30 weeks and then gradually increases until term” (Lowdermilk, 2012, p. 290). 2. Describe 3 physiologic changes in pregnancy for each organ system below and…

Uttar Pradesh, India. A total of 1118 subjects were enrolled including 559 cases and 559 controls. Cases were defined as mothers (age 18-40 years) of live preterm neonates (birth at less than 37 weeks of gestation). Controls were eligible mothers who delivered a neonate at or after 37 weeks of gestation, consecutive to an enrolled case. Mothers who gave birth to twins or those with neonates having congenital anomalies were excluded from the study. Total 3ml venous blood was taken from each…

with their development. Some foods that are important for pregnant women to eat is eggs, fish, Greek yogurt, fruits, and nuts. These foods should be eaten during pregnancy and they all have their own separate purposes. Eggs should be eaten during gestation because it…

Review Article Treatment of Respiratory Distress Syndrome in Preterm Infants: A Review Keishera Aldonza Candidate for Bachelor, Department of Medical Laboratory Sciences at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Introduction Preterm infants often display signs of respiratory distress syndrome at birth due to the immaturity of the lung structure, with respiratory morbidity decreasing as gestational age increases. Respiratory distress syndrome is caused by a deficiency of surfactants. Surfactants…

shy and self-contained except when mating. Red Pandas become sexually mature at around 18 months and the approximate gestation period is around 130 days. Births typically occur in spring and summer, although the majority occur in June where the female will have anywhere from one to five cubs with the average being two cubs. The size of the litter, however, does not affect the gestation length (Roberts & Gittleman 1984). Several days before giving birth the female will begin to collect materials…

Implanon insertion. Her pregnancy course was unremarkable and all antenatal testing, including the quad screen, were normal. The anatomy ultrasound performed at 20 weeks gestation was significant for an intracardiac echogenic focus and an anterior placenta. The pregnancy resulted in a viable male infant born at 39 weeks and 6 days gestation via spontaneous vaginal delivery following elective induction of labor for social…
