A new study has found that teenagers who have abortions are not more likely depressed or have low self-esteem than their peers, their Schwangerschaften end to abortion.

The study, which is a researcher from Oregon State University and University of California, San Francisco, the first of both depression and low self-esteem as results with a national representative sample of young people to use.

The researchers found that young women in the study had an abortion not more likely become depressed or have low self-esteem or within the first year of pregnancy – five years later – than their peers who were pregnant were, but do not have an abortion.

The researchers uses data from 289 respondents on the national longitudinal study of adolescent health (add health) .Daten taken three survey waves from 1994-1995, respondents again a year later and then five years later.The study is available online and will appear in the December issue of perspectives on sexual and reproductive health.

Lead author Jocelyn Warren, post doctoral research associate at the OSU said the study was intended, a large gap in the abortion research to fill.

“We know the most teen pregnancies are not wanted pregnancies and an unwanted pregnancy can very stressful”, said Warren.

“Previous research has shown that adolescents girls, pregnant report more depression and lower self-esteem when compared to those who said they don’t.”What did we not, was whether psychological results for girls are worse to choose abortion.”This study says ‘No’.”

Warren stated that a report 2008 of the American Psychological Association no evidence found that mental health problems prove verursacht.Wegen of a lack of an induced abortion in adult women were draw any conclusions at this stage of the young.Warren said, the results of its study with teen girls with adult women were verified in the APA report consistent with the results of the studies.

“Abortion a very controversial issue and a hot political is obvious,” said Marie Harvey, Professor of public health at the OSU and leading national researchers in the field of health of the Frauen.Harvey was Warren’s thesis advisor and is co-author of the paper.

“The health of women, it is crucial that we the strictest possible studies and evidence-based information to the public, to inform” Harvey said.”This is our objective in the public health research, but can it even more important in areas such as abortion that highly politicized.”

According to the Guttmacher Institute, a nonprofit State abortion policy, monitors require 34 States parental involvement in the youth abortion decisions. also mandate laws in seven States, women are recommended, only the negative psychological consequences of abortion, including “abortion traumatic stress syndrome,” an error not recognized by the American Psychological Association or the American Psychiatric Association.

Warren said it is important to note that individual women can have very different emotional responses to abortion.”But the average abortion seems no important psychological consequences – for adult women or teens.”

“” We have made policies the not evidence-based and have negative consequences for the health of women,”Harvey said.”"Everyone I can not think another type of health practice where a doctor is legally forced a patient have negative consequences to tell that were not proved or examined.”

Harvey said your study had different strengths.For one thing, were data from a national sample and are for young people study standard measures of depression and self-esteem was representative used to 12.Auch classes 7. Finally examines the longitudinal data psychological symptoms before, during, and years after pregnancy, Harvey said.

Abortion causes no depression or low self-esteem in young people is a post from: Eczema Treatment Blog

by bjs on June 24, 2010

The following highlights summarize research articles that are published in the July 2010 issue of The American Journal of Pathology.

Immune Cells and Atherosclerosis

Dr. Einar Eriksson and colleagues at the Karolinska Hosptial, Stockholm, Sweden demonstrate that neutrophils may contribute to atherosclerosis. Their report can be found in the July 2010 issue of The American Journal of Pathology.

Atherosclerosis is a hardening of the arteries due to the build-up of plaques made up of fatty materials such as cholesterol. These plaques may eventually rupture, leading to clots and subsequent arterial narrowing or blockage, which results in insufficient blood supply to tissues and organs.

Although immune cells have been shown to play important roles in the genesis of artherosclerotic plaques, the contribution of neutrophils, the most abundant white blood cell in circulation, remains unclear. Therefore, Rotzius et al examined the role of neutrophils in a mouse model of atherosclerosis. They found that neutrophils accumulate in atherosclerotic lesions, although at lower levels than other white blood cells. Moreover, neutrophils are the predominant immune cells in the high inflammatory shoulder regions of plaques, suggesting that these cells may play a hitherto unappreciated role in the immunological processes of atherogenesis.

Dr. Eriksson’s group concludes that “[their] data provide strong evidence for the presence and invasion of significant numbers of neutrophils in atherosclerotic lesions. These findings call for further investigation of the functional importance of neutrophils and their interplay with complex immunological processes in atherogenesis.”

Alzheimer’s Disease — Some Cells More Prone to Death

A group led by Dr. Andreas Lösche of the University of Leipzip, Germany has discovered that hyperploid neurons, which have greater than the normal number of chromosomes, are more prone to cell death in Alzheimer’s disease. They present these findings in the July 2010 issue of The American Journal of Pathology.

Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form of dementia, affects nearly 19% of people 75-84 years of age. Alzheimer’s disease in incurable and degenerative, and results in death for the patient and considerable burden on the caregiver. Disease progression is associated with neuronal cell death.

Although a low-level of aneuploidy, an abnormal number of chromosomes, may contribute to neuronal diversity, high levels of aneuploidy may result in developmental abnormalities and disease. Ardendt et al explored the effects of hyperploidy, having greater than the normal number of chromosomes, in Alzheimer’s disease pathogenesis. They identified increased numbers of hyperploid cells in preclinical stages of Alzheimer’s disease and showed that hyperploid neuronal cells in Alzheimer’s disease have selectively higher levels of cell death than normal neuronal cells. These results highlight hyperploidy, perhaps as a result of a failure of neuronal differentiation, as critical pathogenic event in neurodegeneration.

Dr. Lösche’s group suggests that “hyperploidy … [is one] critical molecular event … shared between neurodegeneration and malignant cell transformation … [and that these data] direct our attention to a failure of neuronal differentiation as the critical pathogenetic event and potential therapeutic target in neurodegeneration.”

Arendt T, Brückner M, Mosch B, Lösche A: Selective cell death of hyperploid neurons in Alzheimer´s disease. Am J Pathol 2010 177: 15-20

Novel Mechanism of Immune Cell Adhesion

Researchers led by Dr. Claudine S. Bonder of the University of Adelaide, Adelaide, South Australia, Australia implicate sphingosine kinase-1 in neutrophil recruitment to sites of inflammation. They report their data in the July 2010 issue of The American Journal of Pathology.

Neutrophils, which make up nearly 70% of white blood cell in the blood stream, are first-responder immune cells that migrate to sites of infection and inflammation, where they secrete inflammatory molecules and fight pathogens. These and other white blood cells are targeted to sites of inflammation and infection via adhesive molecules, such as integrins, that are upregulated on the surface of blood vessels.

To determine if sphingosine kinase-1, an enzyme that both cleaves and generates important signaling molecules within cells, contributes to integrin-mediated neutrophil recruitment, Sun et al examined inflammatory responses in a model of human blood vessels. Sphingosine kinase-1 was required for integrin activation and subsequent neutrophin adhesion in this system. Taken together, these data support sphingosine kinase-1 as a broad-spectrum target for inhibiting neutrophil recruitment and subsequent inflammatory and immune disorders.

Dr. Bonder and colleagues “suggest that [sphingosine kinase-1 may be the single target required for an effective broad spectrum therapeutic target to combat inflammatory and immune disorders.”

Sun WY, Pitson SM, Bonder CS: Tumor necrosis factor-induced neutorphil adhesion occurs via sphingosine kinase-1-dependent actuaion of endothelial 51 integrin. Am J Pathol 2010, 177: 436-446

Detecting Eye Injury

Dr. Ali Hafezi-Moghadam and colleagues at the Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA have developed a noninvasive imaging technique to detect early stages of eye disease. These results are presented in the July 2010 issue of The American Journal of Pathology.

Uveitis, inflammation of the middle layer of the eye, is the most common form of eye disease, causing up to 10% of visual loss in the United States. Early detection of uveitis could lead to earlier treatment and prevent irreversible tissue damage and loss of sight.

In uveitis, white blood cells accumulate in affected regions of the eye. Therefore, Xie et al used fluorescently-labeled molecules (microspheres) that bind to P-selectin, an adhesion molecule that binds to white blood cells, to identify areas of the eye with uveitis. These microspheres mimicked white blood cell accumulation in an animal model of uveitis, and binding was decreased when these animals were treated with topical anti-inflammatory drugs, allowing for quantification of the immune response. As microvessel accumulation precedes clinical signs of disease, this noninvasive imaging technique may provide a model system for studying the early stages of anterior uveitis.

Dr. Hafezi-Moghadam’s group concludes that “our imaging approach detects the earliest signs of disease, even prior to the occurrence of clinical symptoms, such as leakage, pain, or vision deterioration. Upon subclinical detection of molecular changes, effective treatments could be instituted to halt inflammation, before irreversible structural damage occurs. Besides being a powerful research tool, this versatile imaging approach has a high chance of being translated to the clinical realm and impacting the way medicine is practiced.”

Tips from the American Journal of Pathology is a post from: Eczema Treatment Blog

Eczema is a common skin condition that effects people of all ages and nationalities. If you think you may have a case of eczema, there are a few tell tale signs that will help you be sure. Noticeable reddening and swelling of the skin, followed by an intense itchiness are the first side affects of this disease. It is easy to mistake eczema for other similar skin conditions, so a trip to your local doctor is advisable just to make sure. Once it has been identified a suitable treatment can be given. No matter how bad it may look eczema is not in any way harmful, and usually lasts for a short time before clearing up.

So where does eczema come from? And what are the reasons for my eczema condition?

A: It could be a side affect of another disease.

B: A reaction to chemicals in household products or the rain

C: Your skin could be overly sensitive to outside elements

D: It could be a part of your genetic make up

Unfortunately there is no one single cure all treatment for eczema. Studies have not been able to pinpoint the exact factors that bring it on; so several medicines are available commercially. If you know you’re susceptible to catching eczema then it’s important to practice prevention techniques. For one, stay away from any household chemicals that cause allergic reactions, possibly substitute them with other similar products. It is known that stress may bring on eczema, so find ways to reduce your overall stress levels.

Some people with overly sensitive skin have reoccurring bouts of eczema. These can be reduced; by increasing you knowledge of what triggers an eczema outbreak you will be able to limit you susceptibility to the disease. Be aware of which household products irritate your skin, soaps, shampoos and most commonly washing detergents. Consider buying non-hypoallergenic substitutes, these are available from your local supermarket.  If it is the dye in your clothing that is causing the eczema, replace them with cotton or natural organic substitutes.

In some cases it’s weather conditions that are responsible for brining on eczema. During those long dry seasons your skin becomes overly de hydrated the lack of moisture can cause eczema to begin. One method to solve this is to purchase a good quality natural moisturizing cream, alternatively you could buy a small humidifier that helps re hydrate the air in your home.

Knowledge is key to an eczema free life. Knowing how your skin is effected by outside factors will help you limit reoccurrences of this disease. Don’t let it control you.

How To Reduce The Symptoms of Eczema is a post from: Eczema Treatment Blog

Eczema is the name given to a common skin condition that affects many people of all ages. This disease is known to grow along the main extremities of your body, such as your face, elbows and knees. If you begin to notice areas of reddening, thick and itchy skin, chances are you have a case of eczema.

A similar disease called dermatitis can some times be mistaken for eczema, but they are not to be confused with each other. Eczema is know only to affect young infants, where as dermatitis is a genetic disorder that can be brought on by allergic reactions. If you are still unsure, there are particular visual signs that can help you to diagnose a skin condition. A person with dermatitis will notice a swelling of the skin; on the other hand, eczema causes an obvious reddening of the affected areas.

No one has yet pin pointed what the main cause of eczema is, but it is believed that a weak immune system could be responsible. Though some medical professionals think it can also arise from sweat, or the residues left behind from common household cleaning products. If you think you may have a case of eczema then it is advisable to visit your local doctor. By taking and testing a small sample of the affected area, they will be able to diagnose you and then a suitable treatment can be given.

The areas of skin affected by eczema usually become swollen and itchy, the skin is very sensitive at this point and should not be touched. A doctor will consider your suitability for a specific treatment; those people that have had the disease for a long time will require a different treatment than those of a shorter time. There are many available products out there to help with the conditions; the most popular comes in the form of a topical cream.

Eczema creates a dryness and hardening of the skin, which makes the sufferer very itchy. There are creams available, which contain antihistamines a chemical that reduces this itchiness and hydrates the skin. There are other treatments that make use of an ultra violent light; the type of treatment that you choose will vary depending on the severity of your eczema. Consult your doctor for the most effective solutions.

Background Information on Eczema is a post from: Eczema Treatment Blog

A lot of people are sceptical about the use of organic natural remedies to cure medical conditions. In some cases they have reason to be worried, but there are a few natural alternatives that do work, and may even give better results than commercially bought medicines. When attempting to cure a bad case of eczema, a quick visit to your local grocery store will give you the ingredients to prepare an affective topical ointment at a fraction of the price of pharmacy bought creams. People have reported successful reductions of inflammation and itching to eczema affected areas.

Though don’t be too quick to believe the hype. This natural solution is not a cure for your eczema. It will be able to relieve a lot of the uncomfortable accompanying symptoms. Below are some of the possible natural treatments for eczema.

Alternative Herbal Treatments for Eczema.

1.Chamomile: This herb contains properties that help to relieve much of the itchiness brought on by eczema.

2. Calendula Cream: This aids in decreasing some of the swelling that occurs.

3. Aloe Vera Gel: Known as a popular cure all, this lowers the amount of swelling and acts as an alternative to the commercial medicine that gives users a list of side affects.

4. Chickweed: Use this to make an ointment that will lessen the itching.

5. Oregon Grape Root: A cream made with this root can help absorb a lot of the toxins from eczema affected areas, as well as relieving swelling.

6. Burdock Root: Can be used to make a medicine that protects the affected area, slowing its growth and shortening its active time.

7.  Witch Hazel: This remedy is know to slow down and lessen the amount of swelling.

8. Rosemary: Use this as a bath soak this allows your bodys blood circulation to improve.

9. Oat straw: Again this should be added to a bath to get good results for your skin.

10. Marshmallow root – This root can be made into a cream and used on eczema affected areas to protect from further infections.

Not a lot is know about what causes bouts of eczema but some say that the triggers are a mixture of reasons from stress to bad weather conditions. Whatever they may be, you now have a wider choice of possible short-term natural treatments for your case of eczema. If you are still uncertain as to what is best for you visit a local doctor for a quick consultation.

Treat Your Eczema Without Steroids is a post from: Eczema Treatment Blog

I decided to do a thorough review of the Beat Eczema course in order to show you whether it can in fact help you cure your Eczema. Being an Eczema sufferer, you know how much pain and agony the disease causes and this review will help you make a better decision on how to cure your eczema.

So lets get started.

The Beat Eczema course claims to help people dramatically reduce and even eliminate their eczema completely within 2 weeks. Although I understand that such a claim is a little “out there”, Eczema can at times be cured in such a small time, provided that you undergo the right treatment.

The book mainly talks about using natural treatments to cure your eczema. This is dramatically different from using skin ointments etc in order to suppress the symptoms of eczema, which might come back really soon.

The books lists down the main causes of Eczema and how you can take control of them. Most creams and ointments have to be used very consistently in order to reduce the symptoms of eczema and even with that, they do not provide a permanent cure. These methods cannot effectively work against all the potential causes. The book teaches you how you can strengthen your body’s immunity, which will give it more resources to fight Eczema.

The book also lists down how you can prevent your skin from aging. Eczema takes it toll on the health of your skin, which, apart from many other results, can leave deep scars on your skin. . Many people assume that the health of the skin is directly determined by what kind of ointment etc they use on it. While this can have a positive effect, it is only a small part. On the whole your and your skin’s health is determined by the nutrition that you intake and digest. Along those lines, this book provides you with what you should and should not consume, which dramatically reduces your Eczema problem.

You are also taught the best way to stop the urges to scratch at your skin. Because scratching the skin can result in bleeding and additional agony, a sure-fire method is developed in the book which prevents you from doing that.

The book as a whole provides natural treatments for your Eczema, which will help you lead an Eczema free life. While other treatments have severe side-effects, because the book focuses on natural means to conquer your Eczema, you do not have to worry about any negative effects.

A lot of people have actually used this product and most of them are very happy. On an average, the mass majority of the users of this program showed improvements in their Eczema conditions. That being said, many of the people took more time than just 2 weeks to remedy their Eczema. However, the good point is that the book does follow up on its promise to reduce and even cure your eczema problems, no matter how long it takes.

Apart from getting this ebook, you have a 60 day money back guarantee so the risk is on the vendor and not on you. So try this program for a couple of weeks and if you are not happy, just get your money back. There is also a special price promotion on at the moment.

All in all, this is an excellent program, which will definitely help you out with curing your Eczema.

But before you go further, I want to tell you that if you buy this ebook through the link below, you will get 6 additional ebooks free of charge, which will help in curing your eczema problem further. In order to find out what they are, cehck the link below.

Go here to cure your eczema and avail the 6 ebook bonuses FREE of charge.
