Public discussions of birth control were criminalized under the Comstock Act of 1873 because people believed it was immoral. Margaret Sanger, who had opened the first birth control clinic in 1916 in spite of the Comstock Act of 1873, was a feminist and advocate of eugenics. After serving prison time, Sanger returned publicly and illegally with drive to present a strong argument that defended the moral use of birth control. Prior to her morally controversial 1921 speech, Sanger was arrested in New

Miriam Webster Medical Dictionary defines a viable fetus is capable of living outside the human uterus, weighing 500 grams or more, and the pregnancy is of 20 weeks in gestation. Not all pregnancies go as planned as more infants are born before full term, and sometimes between 22-24 weeks of gestation. These infants are at the verge of viability and sometimes resuscitation can lead to morbidity or mortality. Whether health care providers resuscitate or not is an ethical dilemma which all health

of Massage Therapy on Preterm Infants Taryn L. Metz Winona State University The Efficacy of Massage Therapy on Premature Infants According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2013) 500,000 infants are affected by preterm births each year. A preterm infant is born prior to 37 weeks’ of their gestational age (Smith, 2012) and can be classified as very premature (less than 32 weeks’ gestation), premature (born between 32 and 34 weeks’ gestation) or late premature (born between

"Up to 12% of deliveries in developed countries are preterm." This is approximately 500,000 premature births per year. In 2009, my cousin was born ten weeks prematurely, weighing merely two pounds, four ounces. After spending a copious amount of time in and out of the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) with my family over the course of a month, I developed an interest in its operation. Being a neonatologist became my leading occupation of interest. I chose to further research this topic in hopes

participate in the study. One father declined participation; therefore, seven mothers and six fathers participated. One couple had twins. The infants were born at twenty three weeks and five days to twenty seven weeks and 6 days gestational age, with birth weights ranging between 492 and 1044 grams. All of whom required ventilator support, for different periods of times. The parents were interviewed at least one week after the infants were transferred from an intensive care room to another type of room

infants’ birth in multiple ways. Maternal smoking during pregnancy impairs fetal growth and decreases gestational age thus, increasing several risk factors in the neonatal population. These risk factors are low birth weight (LBW), and premature birth. There is a strong correlation between both risk factors as it relates to neonatal long-term morbidity and also mortality. Infants who are born preterm accounts for a large percentage of early neonatal deaths and studies have exhibited that low birth weight

College November 25, 2015 Often times in today’s world we take certain luxuries for granted.

The case was on the debate of whether or not the use of

Improving Feeding Outcomes in the NICU: Establishing an Infant-Driven Feeding Pathway Laura Pabich BSN, RN The University of Iowa College of Nursing   Improving Feeding Outcomes in the NICU: Establishing an Infant-Driven Feeding Pathway The most common reason preterm infants face prolonged hospitalization in a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a delay in acquiring full oral feedings (Shaker, 2013). The purpose of this project is to improve feeding outcomes for preterm infants at Blank Children’s

In the early 20th century, Eugenics grew popular among mainstream scientists, physicians and the general American public. These Eugenicists

Birthmark. Aylmer, the main character of the story, is a brilliant scientist/alchemist. He possesses a belief in "man's ultimate control over nature", and thinks there is nothing man can't overcome (Harun). His obsession with his wife Georgiana’s small birth mark, which resembles a hand, begins after they’re married. Aylmer is fixated with the idea of Georgiana's perfection; he believes that in order for him to experience perfect love, he must have a perfect woman to love (Norman). His obsession and distaste
