Teratogenicity

2.5K
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...

Asthma-I: Introduction

2.6K
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment that requires careful management due to its varying symptoms and influencing factors. It is characterized by airway inflammation, bronchial hyperresponsiveness, and reversible airflow obstruction, leading to symptoms like wheezing, shortness of breath, chest tightness, and coughing. The symptom frequency and intensity may vary considerably over time. It is also linked to immune system responses to allergens and irritants, highlighting the complex...

Global Climate Change

24.4K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics01:23

Upper Respiratory Drugs: Antitussives, Expectorants, and Mucolytics

301
Respiratory symptoms, such as congestion and cough, commonly accompany respiratory tract conditions. Various medications, such as antitussives, expectorants, and mucolytics, play crucial roles in providing relief.
Antitussives include codeine, dextromethorphan (Robitussin), and benzonatate (Tessalon). Codeine and dextromethorphan exert their effects centrally by suppressing the cough reflex center in the medulla.  Benzonatate operates peripherally within the respiratory tract by...

Threats to Biodiversity01:50

Threats to Biodiversity

22.4K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Health
  • Perinatal Epidemiology
  • Climate Change Impacts

Background:

  • Ambient air pollution is a known risk factor for adverse perinatal outcomes.
  • Climate change is increasing the frequency and intensity of wildfire events.
  • Wildfire smoke is a significant source of air pollution with emerging evidence of perinatal health risks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of the existing literature on wildfire smoke exposure during pregnancy.
  • To examine the association between wildfire smoke and adverse perinatal outcomes.
  • To highlight the public health implications of wildfire smoke in the context of climate change.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies investigating wildfire smoke exposure and pregnancy.
  • Analysis of epidemiological data on perinatal outcomes in relation to wildfire events.
  • Synthesis of current scientific understanding on the topic.

Main Results:

  • Emerging data indicate a negative impact of wildfire smoke on perinatal health.
  • Specific adverse outcomes associated with exposure are being identified.
  • Further research is needed to fully elucidate the risks.

Conclusions:

  • Wildfire smoke represents a growing threat to perinatal health.
  • Pregnant individuals exposed to wildfire smoke may face increased risks.
  • Continued research and public health strategies are crucial to mitigate these risks.
