STAY PREGNANT to air pollution increases the risk of delayed development of the fetus and of children born with low birth weight

Stay pregnant in the polluted atmosphere increases the risk of delayed fetal development and birth of children with low birth weight
Stay even slightly polluted atmosphere during pregnancy significantly increases the risk of delayed fetal development and birth of children with low birth weight, as evidenced by the extensive European study, published this week in the journal The Lancet Respiratory Medicine. The main author of the scientific work is Dr.

Marie Pedersen (Marie Pedersen), an employee of the Research Center Environmental Epidemiology (CREAL) in Barcelona.

The ratio between staying in a polluted environment during pregnancy and low birth weight is observed even at pollution levels below the air quality standards adopted by the European Union, the study said.

Scientists estimate that an increase for every 5 micrograms of the content of fine particles (PM-2, 5) in a cubic meter of air (5mkg / m) during pregnancy, the risk of having a baby with low birth weight increases by 18%. This increase (5mkg / m) usually occurs in areas of heavy vehicular traffic and the location of industrial enterprises.

The study authors noted that the risk increases even when pollution levels below the average annual air quality standards adopted by the European Union and part of 25mkg / m.

Our research suggests that many cases of children born with low birth weight in Europe could be avoided by reducing the content in the urban atmosphere of fine particles, - says Dr. Marie Pedersen.

Average levels of PM-2, 5 in particular studied the atmosphere of the village ranged from 10mkg / m? to almost 30mkg / m.

Dr. Manolis Kogevinas (Manolis Kogevinas), one of the leaders of CREAL, believes that in reducing the levels of PM-2, 5 to 10 g / m? (Average annual rate of air quality set by the World Health Organization) could have prevented 22% of children born with low birth weight in pregnancies over 37 weeks.

Dr. Pedersen Included in the group of scientists working under the direction of CREAL and the French Institute of Health and Medical Research (INSERM), which explore the effects of lightly soiled atmosphere to have children with low birth weight (less than 2.5 kilograms in gestation for more than 37 weeks).

The reasons for low birth weight is considered respiratory difficulties in childhood, as well as other diseases that people have suffered for their lives.



What to consider when developing legislation

The study authors also analyzed the possible impact of the size of the head in a circle on the development of the nervous system. Using data from the European study epidemiological impact of contaminated air, scientists have brought together the results of 14 epidemiological studies in 12 European countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Lithuania, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Hungary, Italy, Greece and Spain), in which attended by more than 74 thousand women who gave birth between February 1994 and June 2011.

In particular, from Spain in 2623 was attended by mothers with children from Catalonia, Asturias, Guipúzcoa, Valencia and Granada. They participate in the study Childhood and Environment» (Infancia y Medio Ambiente, INMA). According to Dr.

Jordi Sunyer, director of the project and one of the leaders of CREAL, «a massive impact on pregnant women, urban air pollution, harmful substances which is comparable to or even greater than what is described in this study is a clear message to politicians about the need for urgent measures to improve the quality of the air we all breathe.

TOXOPLASMOSIS COMBINATION WILL TREAT statins and zoledronic acid

Toxoplasmosis will be treated with a combination of statins and zoledronic acid
Toxoplasmosis (pathogen - Toxoplasma gondii) are treated with a combination of statins and zoledronic acid.

The combination of these drugs pharmaceutical groups by changing the metabolic processes in the organism Toxoplasma and humans leads to a reliable suppression of infection.

Zoledronic acid inhibits synthesis enzyme sptsificheskogo providing infectious process in Toxoplasma organism and atorvastatin - in humans.

This approach may rasprostratit, the authors believe the opening, and other parasitic infections, such as malaria and cryptosporidiosis.

Examples of statin drugs and zoledronic acid in the U.S. is Lipitor and Zometa.

Do not take for granted heard only because

what you hear.

Do not follow the traditions just because

that many have followed them to you.

Do not follow your teachers out of respect

 Urgings motives

This book, I set out to raise the issue of optimal strategies, primarily in the somatic hospital.

Topic is important because the doctor's estate does not always feel satisfaction with the results of their work.

Manpower and resources, financial, first of all, no matter the state or the patient, in our world today is primarily a patient is not uncommon to spend a lot, and achieved modest results.

Dramatically increased in the past decade, the quality of diagnosis, which has its foundations in the equipment working place ultramodern equipment and technologies are not always supported as a major breakthrough in the approach to the treatment of patients.

No, of course, new drugs, as well as technology, the market appears more and more, but the investment in their development is less compensated for the real impact of practical use.

Pharmacy supplies and more new drugs to facilitate treatment. But here is the approach to treatment remains the same. As a result, there is not that the talk in town out of it.

The reasons are many, but the very first, I dare say, in the misguided philosophy of modern somatic clinics, when the norms of a healthy person without having reason are accepted as the norm for the patient, simply fetishized.

This philosophy has no place human nature. It certainly is postulated that it (his nature) is not perfect. Prove otherwise, if the original hypothesis of modern philosophy somatic clinics reduced, ultimately, to the fact that the evolution of selected disease mechanisms (mechanisms of recovery!) Imperfect.

The idea that the disease, as well as health, too, can be normal, it is extremely rare, and if expressed, why is certainly lost, drowning in the system established dogma.

Diagnosis of sick usually means and prescribe treatment.

Our scientific, methodological, educational and non-fiction can not break out of the shackles of the pathogenetic as if the nature of man is so arranged disease that she disease, continuous violations, deviations, errors that need to frenzy to fight or who as vices, must be eradicated.

If so built our literature, just as we teach our teachers, once these ideas feed off each other, which is to do, how not to fight a disease generated by the nature of man, even at the cost of this very life.

Paints thickened, but in each fraction paint paint.

This book has already forgotten rethinking and myself the old Optimal management of patients with somatic (general approach), published at the end of the last century (1995).

Rethinking, rewriting, I dare say, for myself first of all that in the philosophy of clinical medicine things are there.

We have a strong entered the third millennium, but bequeathed by the founders of the philosophy of medicine wisdom of nature and has not learned to finish.

This philosophy is in its most general form is formulated as a principle of optimality of the disease, and with it you can find in the book of the same name, available online at http://www.medicusamicus.com/index.php?action=bksh-normdisease.

The strong point of the book in the philosophy of the subject, and the weak - in its journalistic nature, when there is no proposal approaches its practical use.

The principle of optimality of the disease is part of the principle of optimality of Nature. According to him, there are optimal ways of the disease, providing in the most severe cases, high-quality and full recovery, and determine the most favorable course in chronic cases, evasion, and that there are those in violation of its flow, its those forms that require intervention, provided the provided to minimize the loss intervention. These interventions are determined, and the optimization of reduced or, in other words, the return (if applicable) of the disease in its track uncomplicated.

A measure of the degree of optimality in the course of the disease in each case there is a charge for the patient's disease. The most optimal variant of the disease - when the payment for it the least. We will not dissemble and not pulling away as the nature of the mechanism of the disease is not healing mechanisms.

Thus, the optimal strategy in the somatic hospital, another attempt reports principle of optimality of the disease to the medical class. This principle is not the discovery of the author, but the application of the Principle of optimality in Nature clinical practice with the integration built on the foundation of his book, great ideas MJ Mudrova, SP Botkin, VH Vasilenko, MI Voyno-Yasenetsky, IV Davydov, N. Rashevsky, R. Rosen, H. Selye, and many other scientists.

I would particularly like to acknowledge the work of N. Rashevsky who formulated the principle of optimal design, and R. Rosen, postulated the principle of optimality in biology, as well as I. Davydov, who constructed a general theory of pathological processes.
