Fatherhood Evolution and Human Paternal Behavior is a book written by Peter B. Gray and Kermyt G. Anderson. The book explored different aspects of fatherhood from evolutionary and cultural perspectives. It discusses the role of fathers across different cultures and how the socio economics and mating variations determine men’s parental care and the decision to produce a certain number of children. The book presents evidence on how fatherhood alters a man’s life. The psychological and sexual…

proven paid leave can increase the duration of breastfeeding, which not only benefits infants, but mothers as well. Many mothers report a feeling of joy while nursing their infants, which is due to a release of positive hormones such as oxytocin and prolactin. Additionally, breastfeeding has proven to…

Congenital optic nerve hypoplasia (ONH) is a condition in which one or both optic nerves are not fully developed, giving the appearance of abnormally small, pale optic nerve heads upon fundus examination (AAPOS, n.d.). In comparison to the size of the disc, the retinal blood vessels appear larger than normal, when in actuality the vasculature is of normal caliber (Kaur et al, 2013). This non-progressive developmental abnormality is typically characterized by a combination of neurological,…

The endocrine system is one of the major systems in the body, it is one of the two systems established for regulating the body to achieve homeostasis. This system plays a role in long distance intercellular communication, coordination, and homeostasis control (Rice University-Open Stax, 2016). It is made up of a collection of glands which produce hormones, regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, mood, in addition to a plethora of other…

DDT, a white tasteless and almost odorless crystalline solid, is an organochlorine contact insecticide that kills by acting as a nerve poison. DDT is categorized by the WHO as Class II "moderately hazardous". DDT was first synthesized in 1874; it was first used as pesticide in 1937 and for epidemic prevention in the US Army during the Second World War (Eriksson & Talts 2000). Its insecticidal properties were first discovered by Paul Müller in 1939, and it acts on the nervous system through…

female’s bodies during the birth process and nursing. Larry Young, a behavioral neuroscientist at Emory University, “oxytocin released during pregnancy have a role in motivation and feelings of connectedness to a baby.” (Young) Another hormone called, prolactin, the promotion of milk due to lactation promotes child care behaviors in mothers. In the research study of evolutionary economists Ingela Alger and Donald Cox, they state,“lactation have been found to be strongly implicated in…

Rationale for NDDS (1500): NDDSs are being developed to overcome several limitations of conventional drug delivery systems. Although oral risperidone has superior efficacy to older antipsychotics and has remarkably less side effects (5), the greatest limitation with the use of risperidone for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder is non-compliance such as partial dosing or infrequent dosing by patients (6) Three quarter of all patients with schizophrenia are not compliant to their oral…

Maternal-baby holding is a fundamental procedure which starts in early stages and proceeds throughout the following couple of years. The holding process has huge ramifications for both mother and youngster and is influenced by numerous components. Holding issues happen and the family specialist can distinguish these potential issues before pregnancy, amid pregnancy, and in the baby blues period, and organize help so the holding procedure can develop typically (Can Fam Physician, 1). Holding is…

accessible it is to the person who would be taking it, the side effects, how often it is taken, and how well it works on the schizophrenic’s symptoms. While both the new and the older antipsychotics, the older drugs may cause a higher production of prolactin. This affects “sex drive, mood, menstrual cycles, and growth of breast tissue in both men and women” (WebMD 1). With the prolonged use of either drug, old or new, there is a very high chance of developing tardive dyskinesia. This a movement…

The hormone has the ability to lower core body temperature, modify brain levels of monoamine neurotransmitters, stimulate prolactin secretion and induce sleepiness (Bowen, 2003) so on long haul flights during the delay in sleeping allows for melatonin to be released at random and not normal times which means that the body temperature when in a different environment at night will…
