Both Peter Berger, in his book “The Sacred Canopy” and Durkheim in his book “The Elementary Forms of Life” understand religion as a phenomenon that provides a frame of reference within which humans order the universe. Though some may say that the sociology of religion deems too many societal phenomena as religious, the issue is not a problem of method, but of definition. If religion is defined as man’s way of orienting himself within the world, then it follows that everything he does, makes, and

How does the knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the uterus inform midwifery practice in the postnatal period? The researcher seeks to inform the reader information based on the anatomy and physiology of the uterus and how it informs midwifery practice during the postnatal period, whilst providing an outline of other structures of the female reproductive system and their functions. The essay will also provide information and knowledge relating to Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) Royal

Abortion in the United States The United States Government should illegalize abortion for many different reasons including, a potential life has ended before given a chance remains evidence enough for most people to understand why a person should never have a choice of whether a baby lives or dies. Studies also show that mothers who choose abortion have a higher health risk rate after the abortion and also have more psychological problems after the abortion as well. Not only is it proven that

4/5/7 inhibitor). MSCs secret cytokines that act via paracrine effect to exert anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory properties. Identification of MSCs in almost all postnatal tissues (bone marrow, adipose tissue, umbilical blood, menstrual blood, placenta and pre-/post-menopausal endometrium) have made it possible for women to choose to source MSCs from for autologous use. In addition, surface markers such as CD271, Stro-1 and SUSD2 have been identified that enrich highly clonogenic MSCs beneficial

Within this essay, I will reflect on an event that I witnessed during clinical placement, focussing on the process of non-directed donation (RCOG, 2006) of umbilical cord blood via the onsite NHS Blood and Transport (NHSBT) team, as well as the related issue with the antenatal communication and subsequent consent to utilise the service. In order to maintain confidentiality in accordance with the Nursing and Midwifery Council’s Code of Conduct (NMC, 2008) and The Data Protection Act (1998), the hospital

threat in pregnancy. This often happens when blood crosses the placenta from the foetus to the mother. If the foetal blood has Rh-positive blood and the mother has Rh-negative blood and if the foetal blood leaks into the mother’s blood through a tear in the placenta, the mother’s immune system recognizes the antigen from the foetal blood as foreign and starts producing anti-Rh antibodies. These antibodies can then cross the placenta and causes agglutination on antigen D present in the foetal blood

of opioids such as an increased risk of intrauterine passage of meconium and neonatal aspiration, preterm labor and birth, fetal growth restriction, as well as fetal distress or demise (Keough & Fantasia, 2017). There is also an increased risk of placenta previa, placental abruption, premature rupture of membranes, and postpartum hemorrhage, all maternal high-risk factors (Shaw et al., 2016). Therefore, it is detrimental to educate woman of the child-bearing age of these dangers prior to their attempt

gy 2) All plants and animals are made up of cells and all cells are surrounded by a membrane. Any ion or molecule that the cell needs to either use or get rid of requires the ability to move through the cell membrane. Diffusion in plant and animal cells is the spontaneous net movement of ions and molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, this is also referred to as moving down a concentration gradient. The movement of molecules and ions during diffusion is known

infected with the disease their body will recognize it and release antibodies to fight against it. In contrast, passive immunity does not result from the person themselves receiving the vaccination but rather from antibodies a baby receives through the placenta from its mother. Passive immunity generally lasts from a few months to a year at the most which will cover children until they are able to receive their own immunizations. Children are the on the front line when it comes to spreading and preventing

The article, Birth outcomes after induced abortion: a nationwide register-based study of first births in Finland. A positive association between IA and risk of preterm birth or a dose-response effect has been found in some previous studies. Limited information and conflicting results on other infant outcomes are available. It is poorly understood if there are specific ages at which adverse outcomes during pregnancy and childbirth start to increase (threshold-ages). The purpose of this study was to
