Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

3.9K
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...

Disorders of the Female Reproductive System

3.8K
The female reproductive system can be affected by several disorders, including Premenstrual Syndrome (PMS), Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), endometriosis, and various forms of cancer. PMS and PMDD are cyclical conditions that cause physical and emotional distress, with symptoms that include edema, mood swings, and food cravings. PMDD is a more severe form of PMS characterized by increased symptom severity that peaks during the luteal phase and tends to improve or resolve shortly after...

Cancer Prevention

Several factors can increase the risk of cancer in an individual. About 50% of cancer cases can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle, regular exercise, eating healthy, and following a modest cancer prevention diet. Epidemiological studies have consistently shown that populations with vegetable and fruit-rich diets have reduced the incidence of cancer. On the other hand, populations who have a diet rich in animal fat, red meat, junk food, or high calories are predisposed to cancer.

Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

3.1K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Cancer Survival Analysis01:21

Cancer Survival Analysis

624
Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Psychoneuroimmunology: Diabetes and Cancer

401
Chronic stress has been linked to both the onset and progression of serious health conditions, including Type 2 diabetes and cancer. Type 2 diabetes, a widespread chronic illness, is closely associated with obesity and insulin resistance, both of which often worsen under stress. Studies indicate that men experiencing high levels of chronic stress face a 45% higher risk of developing diabetes compared to those with minimal stress. Stress triggers physiological responses that elevate blood...

Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Health
  • Oncology
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Background:

  • Cancer diagnosis during pregnancy presents unique challenges.
  • Understanding the lived experiences of these women is crucial for supportive care.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore the personal meanings of cancer diagnosis during pregnancy.
  • To understand the impact on the transition to motherhood.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal, interpretive phenomenological design.
  • Three in-depth, semi-structured interviews.
  • Interpretive/hermeneutic analysis of data from ten women.

Main Results:

  • Identified three major themes: Embodied Understandings, Pregnancy Disrupted, and Early Motherhood Disrupted.
  • Women experienced a collision of mothering identities and capabilities with cancer.
  • Cancer led to disrupted expectations for pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood.

Conclusions:

  • Healthcare professionals need to provide anticipatory guidance for disrupted mothering expectations.
  • Tailored support, education, and interventions are essential.
  • Balancing cancer management with pregnancy and postpartum care is vital.
