Prolonged childbirth
Delay delivery beyond 39 weeks of pregnancy in women gilts would be associated with an increased risk of maternal complications.
This arises from a secondary analysis of data from a study of fetal pulse oximetry in women without previous births and spontaneous labor or induced at 36 weeks gestation or more. Is usually considered the normal period of pregnancy is 40 weeks.
In American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, to Dr. Alan Thevenet N. Tita of the University of Alabama at Birmingham, says that as gestational age increased from 39 weeks to 41 or more, so did significantly more risk arising from a maternal complication such as uterine atony, transfusion blood or infection in the peripartum.
Researchers say that “the risk of maternal morbidity and cesarean delivery, neonatal morbidity but not increased significantly from 39 weeks of gestation.” And they say that “improve maternal and perinatal outcomes when considering the delivery immediately after 39 weeks of gestation.”
However, argue that the practice should be modified only by this and other observational studies, “taking into account their limitations.” This and other results, “demonstrate the need for a randomized trial of elective delivery approach of the attainment of week 39 (of gestation) versus the traditional approach of expectant management until Week 41.”
“This study is important due to increased labor inductions in the U.S. and decreased 48 percent in 1990 to 33 percent in 2007 of women who give birth after 40 weeks.”

Laryngeal Papilloma
The snuff and alcohol have traditionally been the main triggers of tumors of the oral cavity (mouth, pharynx and larynx). However, in recent years, another ‘villain’ has been gaining ground in this area. It is the human papilloma virus, a sexually transmitted pathogen whose role in cervical cancer is well known.
In America, this virus is now considered the main cause of a type of oral carcinoma and its prevalence is striking from the experts. Above all, it is particularly high among men.
This is demonstrated by the results of the last work done on the subject, which looked at 5,579 men and women aged between 14 and 69 years. According to his data, published in the latest issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association ‘, oral infections of the virus affecting 10.1% of men compared to 3.6% of women, giving a prevalence overall about 7%.
These data underscore the researchers in the medical journal, call for greater public attention to the health implications that has the advancement of this virus. Especially if one considers that 16 of the pathogenic subtype-undoubtedly the most aggressive and more often associated with subsequent development of cancer, was the most common virus affected the sample.
A sexually transmitted infection
To carry out their work, these scientists led by Maura L. Gillison, University of Ohio (USA), each participant underwent a personal interview about their habits and their socioeconomic profile, and a laboratory test to test for oral papillomavirus.
Apart from the prevalence of the pathogen, one of the details were clearer in the research is that sexual behavior was closely linked with the likelihood of infection. Thus, sexually active people who had had more partners over their lives who most likely had to introduce the virus. On the other hand, apart from the inner life, smoking is also demonstrated as an important risk Read the rest of this entry »
