Teratogenicity

Teratogenicity

The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-II

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care. Here are a few more healthcare professionals.
Physical Therapist
A physical therapist (PT) aims to restore function or prevent additional impairment in a patient following an injury or disease. Massage, heat, cold, water, sonar waves, exercises, and electrical stimulation are some treatments used by PTs to treat...

In Vitro Fertilization

In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

Summary

The clinical setting is a sexual space where queer communities form, challenging traditional ethics. Clinical intimacy can foster identification, blurring lines between strangers and friends.

Area of Science:

Medical Ethics
Queer Theory
Sociology of Health

Background:

The clinical and sexual realms are often viewed as separate and opposing.
Queer theory offers a counter-perspective, highlighting the inherent sexuality within clinical spaces.
Traditional medical ethics and sexual ethics often invoke distinct ideals of human dignity.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore the concept of the clinic as a positively sexual space.
To analyze how clinical intimacy can be a form of sexual intimacy.
To examine the potential for forging queer publics within clinical settings.

Main Methods:

Qualitative analysis of queer commentary on clinical and sexual experiences.
Theoretical examination of ethical frameworks in medicine and sexuality.

Exploration of concepts of identification and moral strangerhood in clinical contexts.

Main Results:

The clinic can be a space where queer publics are actively formed.
Barriers between moral friends and strangers may dissolve in clinical encounters.
Enjoyment of identification can challenge conventional ideals of human dignity in both sexual and medical ethics.

Conclusions:

Clinical intimacy possesses a creative, sexual dimension.
The clinic can serve as a site for the constitution of queer sociality.
Ethical considerations must account for the complex interplay of sexuality and clinical practice.
