Parents are Stress Make Easy Children Taxable Pulmonary Disease

Stress was not only affect ourselves but also others around you. The new study shows that children living with parents who stress more easily suffer from lung disease.

The study, by scientists at the University of Southern California showed that children who live in households that stress is more susceptible to lung damage from traffic pollution.

"Stress will lead to greater pollution effects on children, but I was surprised that the increased air pollution has no effect on children from homes with low stress," explained Dr. Talat Islam from the University of Southern California, author of the study, as reported by Health24, Tuesday (07/26/2011).

It is unclear what underlies the relationship between pollution, household stress and lung function, but Dr. Talat said that the stress and pollutants are both associated with inflammation and tissue damage.

"That makes sense. The body wear and tear caused by stress can make individuals more susceptible to the effects of traffic-related air pollution," explained Dr. Jane Clougherty from the University of Pittsburgh who was not involved in the study.

In the study, researchers assessed lung function nearly 1,400 children who live in southern California. Researchers also estimate the amount of traffic pollutants in nearly 1,000 different areas.

Specifically they are looking for nitrogen oxides form when fuel is burned. According to the American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, nitrogen oxides can damage lung tissue and make asthma worse.

Six years earlier, the children's parents filled out questionnaires about stress levels. Questions asked for example about how often they felt able to deal with personal problems or control it.

The result, for children who live in homes with high levels of stress is, any increase in 22 ppb of nitrogen oxides, their lung function decreased by 4.5 percent.

Research conducted at the University of Missouri shows, women who diligently breakfast are more likely when a young pregnant gave birth to a baby boy. The difference is not too large, only about 5 percent, but significant for those who desperately wanted a boy.

Factors that differentiate between women who diligently breakfast with breakfast is often forgotten your calorie intake. The researchers, Dr. Cheryl Rosenfeld explained that the higher the calorie intake during early pregnancy tends to make the embryo grow into men.

Therefore, in addition diligent breakfast, young women who are pregnant should choose foods that are high in calories if you want to have a boy. Course should be limited, because if the calories are too high then it will lead to obesity and other health problems.

"A diet high in calories making pregnant women more likely to deliver a boy, by contrast with the low-calorie diet gave birth to a daughter the opportunity is greater," said Dr. Rosenfeld in a report in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, quoted from Indiavision, Sunday (24 / 7 / 2011).

According to Dr. Rosenfeld, high-calorie diets actually play a role in shaping the durability of the fetus while in the womb. Female fetuses are more strongly tended to survive despite a lower caloric intake, while the male fetus more who die in a state of caloric deficiency.

The results of this study, and identifies the trend in many countries, namely the birth of baby boys tend to decline and it is feared will lead to gender imbalance because many pregnant women who skipped breakfast.

Working Mother Left Will Not Make Children Hyperactive

During this career women are often anxious to leave their children at home, because children are not accompanied by his mother feared prone to behavioral disorders. But according to the study, children still grow normally even though his mother works.

Researchers from University College London, Dr Anne McMunn reveal it after making observations on 13,000 children in England. Children from different backgrounds that parental work were observed at birth, then his behavior is observed again at age 3 and 5 years.

Hailnya, there was no significant difference in the behavior of children whose mothers work compared with children whose mother was always home. This conclusion is reassuring 64 percent of career women in the United States that were still under-fives.

Even according to the study, development of behavior in children who are always left work by both parents actually better than if both parents are unemployed. This is further influenced by factors within the family income.

Although generally not affected by the work of parents, especially mothers, boys are more prone to behavioral disorders if the mother is unemployed. The same was experienced by girls, who are prone to be hyperactive if his father had no job.

"Women's careers do not have to feel guilty when leaving their children at home, as long as there is care of it. It is precisely the career of a mother giving a positive influence on family finances and also set an example for his children," said Dr. McMunn is quoted from WebMD on Monday (25 / 7 / 2011).

Previously, many believe that a mother could make a career displaced and vulnerable children have behavioral disorders, among others GPPH (Concentration of Attention and Hyperactivity Disorder). But with this new research, mothers need not worry for running career while still raising children.

The results of this study published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health.

Whitish in Pregnant Women Can Make Babies Born Premature

bacterial infection is the cause of vaginal discharge that is not only causes itching and odor. In pregnant women, the infection must be detected early because it can cause premature birth on the baby.

Whiteness is one of the symptoms of vaginal infection called bacterial vaginosis. These infections occur because there is an imbalance of normal flora in the vagina, among others, triggered by the use of douches or vaginal excessive cleaning.

Excessive vaginal cleansing causing bacteria Lactobacillus in the vagina is supposed to die, too. The reduced population of Lactobacillus triggers an increase in the number of anaerobic bacteria, which causes the vagina susceptible to inflammation.

Up to now really is not known exactly how the bacterial vaginosis can cause premature birth. However, various studies conducted so far has shown consistent results that all types of infections, especially in the vagina can lead to premature birth.

"More than 50 percent of premature birth was triggered by an infection. Well, kind of infection that most often the trigger is a vaginal infection that is triggered by bacteria," said Dr. Ari Sungkar, SpOG, obstetricians from the Faculty of Medicine, University of Indonesia (Faculty of medicine) after sworn in as a doctoral Salemba FKUI on campus on Thursday (07/14/2011).

Vaginal discharge caused by bacterial vaginosis is characterized by an increase of pH or acidity level. Normally the vaginal fluid pH range at 4.5 to the bottom, whereas in case of infection bacterial vaginosis the pH will rise to near 7.

For now, the pH probe is still difficult to do by yourself so much better pregnant women immediately see when experiencing vaginal discharge. The whitish to watch, among others, in case of changes in odor and color of the mucus and lead to itching.

Prevention of bacterial vaginosis is necessary because the costs to be incurred in case of premature birth is very large. Besides increasing the risk of death by 40-fold, fragile premature infants born with cerebral palsy, cognitive impairment and blindness.

Meanwhile, if detected early, bacterial vaginosis is easily treated with antibiotics that cost is very inexpensive because generic versions are widely available. Dr Ali suggests, pH probe as an early detection of bacterial vaginosis is important since the second trimester of pregnancy.

Signs of Children Experiencing Learning Difficulties

Children who experience learning difficulties often make parents stress and get a bad seal at the school. But parents need to realize that children who have difficulty learning is not a disease and this can be handled.

"The difficulty of learning is not a disease but a sign of brain development that is still less than optimal," said Ike R Sugianto, Psi, a child psychologist in the release of Development Disorders Identification seminar.

Ike tells us there are several traits that indicate children experiencing learning difficulties, namely:

1. Grades up and down

2. Difficult set of activities or goods

3. Easy to forget

4. Often loses things

5. Daydreaming

1. Scold, punish or humiliate

2. Labeling or negative designation

3. Increase training and tutoring

4. Lure prize

"But parents need not worry as learning difficulties can be addressed," said Ike who has been awarded the International Licensed Brain Gym International and has been the RMT International Consultant.

What can parents do?

1. Accept the existing situation, in this case is not silent, bukang deny, stop blaming yourself, others or God, and stop crying over yourself

According to Reyes, understand how the health of mothers affects the respiratory health of children is important in developing effective strategies to prevent asthma.

Study participants were 279 women with African-Americans and Hispanics was conducted before, during and after birth. These findings support the growing body of research which states that exposure may influence the risk of children developing asthma.

The results of this study have been published in the Annals of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, the scientific journal of the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology (ACAAI).
