It ’s Surprisingly Common To Misremember Where You Were On A Specific Time And Date
By Emma Young
Where were you at 8am two Tuesdays ago? If it’s a little tricky to recall, what if I presented you with a map with four location flags to choose from, each about 3-4 km apart, with one marking your actual location on that time and date? Are you confident that you’d pick the right one?
If you are confident, the good news from a new paper in Psychological Science is that you’re more likely to be right than if you’re not too sure. The bad news is that when a group of students in Melbourne, Australia was tested in this way, they picked the wrong location 36% of the time. The study shows that this...

Ebstein ’ s anomaly and pregnancy
Ebstein’s anomaly and pregnancy
Ebstein’s anomaly of tricuspid valve was first described by Wilhelm Ebstein in 1866 [1]. It is characterized by distal displacement of the septal and posterior leaflets of tricuspid valve. Anterior leaflet is elongated and sail like. A portion of the right ventricle is ‘atrialized’ due to the distal displacement of the tricuspid valve. Right atrium is often grossly dilated. Right to left shunting occurs across a patent foramen ovale producing cyanosis of variable extent. Ebstein’s anomaly is one of the cyanotic congenital heart diseases in which survival to adul...

5 myths about endometriosis
While endometriosis is a common condition, affecting as many as one in every 10 American women, it is complex and often misunderstood. Endometriosis occurs when tissue much like the tissue that normally lines the uterus — called the endometrium — starts to grow elsewhere in the body. These growths may cause pain, scarring, and, in some instances, infertility.
One study shows it can take up to seven years for a woman to get a diagnosis of endometriosis because symptoms may mimic other common conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome or pelvic inflammatory disease. And misconceptions about the disease, including the f...

Should you take the Covid-19 Vaccine if You ’re Pregnant?
The FDA took an important step on Friday by authorizing the Emergency Use for Pfizer-BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine.
Recognizing the risks inherent in COVID-19 infection can be significant, while those identified to date for its vaccine appear to be low, they have not advised against vaccination during pregnancy. However, its important to note that have they not specifically approved the vaccine for use in pregnancy. That’s because we have neither animal or human data on use of the COVID-19 vaccine during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
This is incredibly frustrating to those of us who care from women of repro...

Making sense of early pregnancy scans - part 2
When you can see your baby on the vaginal ultrasound scan, you are going to be very excited , because you are one step closer to your dream of having your own baby.However, the truth is that not every pregnancy results in a baby - and this is as true of IVF pregnancies as bedroom pregnancies. About 15% of all pregnancies will miscarry, and IVF does not reduce the risk of a miscarriage. These are usually first trimester miscarriages. Sometimes we can see the baby, but can't see a heartbeat. Please don't panic ! This is quite normal when the scan is done early, because the baby is very small, and it takes time for the h...

Making sense of early IVF pregnancy scans
IVF patients are very excited when their beta HCG is positive - they are finally pregnant, and can now start dreaming of holding their longed-for baby in their hands in a few months.

We See You
Loss comes in all kinds of intensity and darkness that can be both fleeting and stagnant.
Many of us in our time of grief seek support from family and friends and perhaps other resources. But it astounds me that even in this day and age, parents who suffer miscarriage often feel like they have to mourn in silence. This speaks to what we refer to as disenfranchised grief. It translates to an experience of loss that is at best rarely acknowledged and at worst, dismissed. When there isn’t an actual person for others to know on the outside, it’s challenging for their loss to be acknowledged. Well-intentioned comments like ...

Obstetrics and Gynecology Needs Palliative Care
by Nathan Riley " Can you all, please, just leave us alone? "One particular experience with the death of a newborn stands out in my mind. Moments after birth the baby was breathless, and the neonatology team could not intubate. All of the kingdom ’s pediatric surgeons and other specialists rushed to labor and delivery to no avail. The baby was born with a four centimeter gap in his trachea, an irreparable condition. The mother sat there, holding her dying baby as he took his last breaths while physicians, nurses, and residents were busy as usual. Click-clacking away on computers. Adjusting blankets. Asking questions...

The Bible and abortion
Republicans are rushing to confirm a replacement for Ruth Bader Ginsberg because they want a Supreme Court that will be friendly to them in any litigation over the coming election. But they also want to please conservative Christians who care about overturning Roe v Wade more than any political issue. In fact, for many of them, it ' s the only issue that matters.I have always been puzzled about why pro-choice advocates never seem to point out the obvious: nowhere in the Bible, Old Testament or New, is there any condemnation of abortion. I recently heard an anti-abortion voter interviewed on the radio and she said that the ...
