About twin pregnancy
Down syndrome continues to be the most common chromosomal disorder. Each year, about 6,000 babies are born with Down syndrome, which is about 1 in every 700 babies born (CDC report 2017). Screening tests, such as an ultrasound or a blood test during your first or second trimester can help show if the developing baby (fetus) is at risk for Down syndrome. But these tests sometimes give false-positive or false-negative results. Diagnostic tests, such as chorionic villus sampling or amniocentesis can show if a baby has Down syndrome. You may want to have these tests if you have abnormal results from a screening test or if you are worried about Down syndrome. Anti-D (Rhogam) is given when the mother is Rh negative and had the potential exposure to Rh positive blood from the baby such as may occur during miscarriage, trauma, or delivery. So, if you are Rh negative and the fetus from your last miscarriage was Rh positive, then your doctor would give you Anti-D (Rhogam). READ MORE
No peristalsis, floppy colon- what can help?
People with redundant colon or floppy colon have more colon length for digested food to travel and may be more likely to experience constipation. Consuming a diet high in fiber can reduce constipation. The added fiber will increase the stool’s bulk, stimulating the colon to move the stool more quickly. Examples of high-fiber foods include: beans fruits lentils vegetables whole-grain breads The more processed a food is, the less fiber it likely has. The recommended daily amount of fiber is roughly 20 to 25 grams per day if you eat a 2,500-calorie diet. If you eat much less, slowly increase your intake. Drinking plenty of water also helps to soften stools, making them easier to pass. If you continue having difficulty with constipation, talk to your doctor. He or she can recommend an additional fiber-containing supplement or determine the need for a laxative. If these methods don’t work, I recommend seeing a colorectal surgeon. Maybe there is a way to reduce the size of the colon. READ MORE
Vasovagal syncope getting worse
Vasovagal syncope occurs when you faint because your body overreacts to certain triggers, such as the sight of blood or extreme emotional distress. It may also be called neurocardiogenic syncope. The vasovagal syncope trigger causes your heart rate and blood pressure to drop suddenly. That leads to reduced blood flow to your brain, causing you to briefly lose consciousness. Fainting can be a sign of a more serious condition, such as a heart or brain disorder. You may want to consult your doctor after a fainting spell, especially if you never had one before How to prevent it? You may not always be able to avoid a vasovagal syncope episode. If you feel like you might faint, lie down and lift your legs. This allows gravity to keep blood flowing to your brain. If you can't lie down, sit down and put your head between your knees until you feel better. READ MORE
Eggs and flu shots
Most flu shots and the nasal spray flu vaccine are manufactured using egg-based technology. Because of this, they contain a small amount of egg proteins, such as ovalbumin. However, studies that have examined the use of both the nasal spray vaccine and flu shots in egg-allergic and non-egg-allergic patients indicate that severe allergic reactions in people with egg allergies are unlikely. A recent CDC study found the rate of anaphylaxis after all vaccines is 1.31 per one million vaccine doses given. READ MORE
