Diabetes and alcohol


A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, says that moderate alcohol consumption has heart-healthy properties.

According to researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, people with type 2 diabetes who drink one or two glasses of an alcoholic beverage with less risk of coronary heart disease, the leading cause of death among diabetics.

The doctors came to this conclusion after following for more than 1 1 years to nearly 2,500 diabetic patients. According to their observations, participants who drank one or two glasses daily of alcoholic beverage had a lower risk of myocardial infarction.

Diabetes Vaccine

Over 120 million people suffer, and over 20 of them could benefit from the vaccine, "says its inventor Noel Maclaren, a scientist born in New Zealand studying the subject for over 30 years.

Diabetes, as is known, is a disease whose characteristic is the high concentration of sugar in the blood and can lead to damage to blood vessels, with a risk of blindness, gangrene and even coma. Usually, the disease was controlled with insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, but when this body can not produce in sufficient quantities or not the factory, diabetes occurs.

For some 25 years, Maclaren found in the blood of anti-diabetic individuals: the weapons are targeted by the immune system against cells in the pancreas responsible for producing insulin. Since then we know that diabetes is an autoimmune disease (an attack against the body itself).

The vaccine is still under investigation, but scientists say that this vaccine is not for diabetics who are already insullnodependientes but for people who might develop the disease or who-knows-end to be compulsory for all people. Still we have to wait.

Gestational diabetes, and prevention tips

Some pregnant women have a nasty surprise when they visit the gynecologist: analysis report that have an excess of glucose. With diabetes. This occurs between one and two per cent of expectant mothers. Doctors call this disorder that arises and disappears with pregnancy, gestational diabetes.

This disease is a disorder of carbohydrate metabolism, caused by a partial or total deficiency of insulin, a hormone that makes blood glucose into cells. There is used as an energy source.
Obviously, this changes the development of pregnancy. Excess blood glucose is a risk to the unborn child and requires a thorough control. The risks of not doing so are serious because diabetes may in some cases to produce several congenital malformations: kidney disorders, heart disease, spina bifida, hydrocephalus ...

Adequate diet
The future mother with gestational diabetes should be monitored throughout pregnancy by an endocrinologist. In some cases, the specialist will advise you
follow a strict diet to control their excess glucose. Sometimes will prescribe insulin injections (tablets are contraindicated because of teratogenic effects, ie, they may cause serious harm to the fetus). Food plays an important role in controlling the disease, pregnant women must rely on insulin, will need to ensure that their menus are varied, with plenty of fruit and rich foods with plenty of fiber. In addition, avoid dishes with saturated fat and cholesterol, and forget about the products that contain sugar or honey and soft drinks and alcohol.
But do not just follow a proper diet, one should also be ordered with meal times and make the six days: three major and three minor. These are allocated as follows: one mid-morning, another in the afternoon and the last shortly before bedtime.

A small effort in the diet will help the disease does not affect fetal development.
Learned that diabetes is often distressing for the patient. However, when dealing with gestational diabetes and the doctor warns that disappear after birth, the diagnosis is well received by the future mother. Women with this problem is very caring, are still indications of a specialist obstetrician and literally, and he or she has no sequel.
But, generally, the position of women suffering from gestational diabetes changes dramatically after birth, most pregnant women with diabetes to monitor their absolute rigor while growing up in the small uterus, are not subject to any control after delivery. But back to the endocrinologist is essential to prevent the onset of this condition in future pregnancies.

Prevention
In addition, these women should ensure a proper diet, avoid by all means more of the kilos and getting tested from time to time. A second reason for not ever forget this transient alteration between 20 and 30 percent of women who have suffered, may be diabetic over the years.

There are some facts that suggest that diabetes appears during pregnancy, have a diabetic family history, having undergone abortions, giving birth to large babies, which changes have occurred in the amniotic fluid in a previous pregnancy and to be obese. In all these cases the best solution is to make a curve of glycemia before conception to dismiss a prior condition.

In medicine, more is never repeated, it is important to prevent. If not monitored there is the slightest sign of diabetes before pregnancy, and followed the gynecologist and endocrinologist in case of suffering from this disease during pregnancy, there is nothing to fear.

Benefits of vegetables prevent disease

When grain legumes
Frequent consumption of vegetables, such as chickpeas, lentils and beans, prevents cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, diabetes, hemorrhoids and diverticulosis. This is his interesting nutritional profile.

• caloric intake.
Between 280 and 400 calories per 100 grams. Soybean and lupine are the most energy.

• Protein.
The protein content of dried vegetables, 20 to 25 grams per 100 - sometimes exceeds that of meat, but it's proteins are nutritionally higher quality. Rich in amino acid licina, legumes are deficient in methionine, an essential amino acid that if sulfur is abundant in cereals. That's why. The combination of legumes and cereals increases the quality of the protein intake: for example, a serving of peas with rice equivalent to a medium steak.

• Carbohydrates.
Their proportion ranges from 26% to 60% of soya bean, largely in the form of starch. The skin or skin of vegetables is generous in fiber-cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin. Hence, their intake promotes intestinal mobility and avoid constipation, as well as increased cholesterol.

The so-called soluble fiber is transformed into a gel that absorbs water and increases the volume of faeces, apart from capturing the cholesterol and bile acids in bowel, which prevents its absorption. The other type of fiber, insoluole, has a greater effect as a laxative and regulator of the intestines, increasing the speed of intestinal transit.

On the other hand, the glycemic index of vegetables is low and therefore did not shoot the blood glucose. This makes them a food suitable for diabetics. In addition, the legume produces feelings of satiety, which helps to control weight.

• Fat.
Legumes are poor in unsaturated fat or healthy, which ranges from 1 to 6%, except lupins (15%) and soybeans (20%). Among its fatty acids beneficial to health include oleic, the linoteico and alpha-linoleic.

• Vitamins and minerals.
They are a good source of vitamins B and have a notable contribution of calcium, zinc, potassium, phosphorus and magnesium. All vegetables contain two to three times more iron that came, but iron is a "non-heme" worst absorption of the animal. How to use it is combined with peppers, tomatoes and citrus, which carry the vitamin C needed for the takeover.

• Fitiquímicos.
The vegetables are rich in saponins, isoflavones and filatos, plant compounds very beneficial for health.

The benefits of sport

Menstrual disorders
In dives studies have shown that menstrual discomfort is increased by symptoms of stress and those that are pallida by exercise, as it decreases the states of stress and improves mood.

Diabetes
In this case, exercise does not affect the process of the disease but it is important as a means of alleviating the symptoms. Often diabetic patients who perform exercise can reduce their insulin dose.

Cancer
Lately is also pointing the possibility that the practice patterns of regular exercise can prevent the emergence of different types of cancer.

Anxiety
It has shown that the fiscal physicist helps reduce high levels of anxiety, especially if the exercise is not very intense.

Stress
It seems that the exercise provides a better tolerance to stress stimuli generators, reducing the symptoms of stress, whether psychological or physiological.

Depression
In people suffering from depression has been shown that moderate exercise may be suitable as a therapeutic. But this is so only in people who have a positive attitude towards the exercise. There are still no studies regarding its possible preventive effect.

Cognitive skills
The exercise conducted in a moderate way the tasks favor congnitivas through an increase in the attention. There are also studies that suggest that physical activity can increase the creative capabilities of the person who practices.
It seems that this improvement in cognitive abilities is particularly in the elderly.

Exercise for diabetics

Doctors often advise men suffering from diabetes type I and type II omit the exercise when your blood sugar levels are high. However, new studies suggest that men with diabetes may be exercised even in the days on which their levels of blood sugar are high.

"A most important factor is the amount of insulin present in your body to control blood sugar," says Dr. Robert Hanisch, a researcher on diabetes and the exercise physiologist. A study by the Center for the Treatment of Diabetes Hospital of Columbia, Hanisch discovered that measuring a urine sample to locate ketones (secondary products of metabolism liver), is a much more appropriate to check the possibility to exercise that measure only sugar from the blood.

"More ketones means less insulin to control blood sugar. If you do not have ketones and your blood sugar level is high, our studies show that exercise can do without problems." Strips to measure ketones can be purchased at many pharmacies.

Advances in controlling diabetes

U.S. scientists have developed what they call a bomb computerized insulin, a small device the size of a pocket watch that is implanted under the skin, providing the necessary amount of insulin according to the quantity and type of food that is ingest.

This mechanism is scheduled to work with six different types of food, slightly up from a rich in sugars. The patient only has to indicate via a transmitter what kind of food is going to consume, and a microcomputer in this unit will be responsible for regulating the expulsion of insulin in the correct amount and the right time. Asimismio, this apparatus has the ability to bring such a concentrated amount of insulin, which the patient can eat freely for almost three months and it is possible to fill it again without having to remove the body.

It should be noted that today this device is still a period of experimentation, so it does not reach the market. However, it is certain that if it ends to verify their effectiveness by regulating the level of blood sugar of diabetic certainly lessen the severity of diabetic complications, such as gangrene and blindness. We also continue to varied studies designed to create methods to consume oral insulin; studies have been tested in laboratory mice with moderately satisfactory results.

On the other hand, is considering the possible transplantation of "Islets of Langerhans (the site where the pancreas produces insulin), but you have to first solve the problems of rejection that are presented in such transplants. Every day the investigations are more stimulating and envisions a future filled with hope for a more practical and effective control of diabetic patients.

What should eat the diabetic?

The daily diet is a vital aspect for controlling diabetes. British partnership against diabetes, as well as other international health agencies, have reached the consensus to recommend the following points to prevent or control diabetes as the case may be:

• Avoid at all costs the simple sugar. In other words, stop eating foods such as chocolates, candies, cakes and soft drinks.

• Try that 60 percent of your diet is made up of complex carbohydrates such as bread, pasta, potato, rice, cereals and tortillas.

• It reduces the consumption of animal fats such as in the case of butter, mayonnaise, lard, sausage, cold meat, bacon and other foods high in fat. It is also highly recommended to use little oil to cook your food.

• Reduce salt consumption.

• Alimentato frequently with foods rich in fiber such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains.

• Eat lean cut of meat (no fat), chicken and fish. Besides bean, peas, beans and chickpeas.
As you may have noticed, the above recommendations are the same for a diabetic than for a healthy person, this is because these items represent the basis of a healthy diet.

The practice of physical exercise is also largely beneficial for the diabetic, because it appears that the level of sugar in their blood tend to be controlled better and be burned to reduce a larger number of calories. However, you must always do so under the supervision of a physician than those submitted for sudden changes in levels of blood sugar and results for the year are counterproductive.

We recommend blood tests conducted on a regular basis during adulthood (every two to five years), to monitor levels of blood sugar, and to take any anomaly in the letters before they present diabetes.

Recalls that it can begin as a simple hypoglycemia (abnormally low levels of blood sugar) which indicates that there is a problem in controlling sugar in the body and insulin secretion. Correcting time, it is feasible to spend more years without being present or without diabetes who never actually do so.

Symptoms of diabetes

What are your symptoms and how it is diagnosed
The most common symptoms of diabetes include excessive thirst, increased frequency of urination or impulse to urinate (especially at night), weight loss and blurred vision. If your presentation at least two of these symptoms, it is very important that as soon as possible acudir to consult your doctor so you can make the necessary evidence and discard or confirm the diagnosis, whatever the case.

A test that is performed to diagnose diabetes is known as "test glucose tolerance", and consists of chipping with a lancet the thumb or index of the person to be fasting, to review their blood sugar levels in the blood test before food. In healthy people, these levels should be less than 100 milligrams of glucose in a deciliter of blood.

Takes enough vitamin E
Recent studies have found lower concentrations of vitamin E in patients with diabetes than in healthy subjects completely. A new study conducted by the school of medicine at the University of Naples, said that taking daily supplements of the vitamin may improve the action of insulin in diabetes patients and in healthy men. Corn oil, wheat germ and nuts are rich sources of vitamin E.

Subsequently, it gives the person to swallow a drink containing 75 grams of glucose, it becomes to take another blood sample an hour, and then, within two hours. If the new person does not exceed 200 milligrams per deciliter of blood in the first hour, and 150 milligrams in the second, then is considered a normal state of health.

A diagnosis of diabetes must be confirmed positive, if at least two of three readings are abnormal.
If only one reading is abnormal, then it is possible that there is some sort of impaired glucose tolerance without this mean you want to be diabetes. But nevertheless, this implies that the person tends to introduce diabetes in the future and therefore it is advisable to begin to take care of now.
Another consideration that may make your doctor is the urine, which notes the possible presence of sugar in it.

If you have questions or want to know where to turn in the event that these symptoms above, it is more advisable to consult a doctor or endocrinologist, a nutriólogo, which can tell what to do in the event that your diagnosis proves positive.

Although diabetes can not prevent as such because there is a genetic predisposition to the disease, there are measures in the lifestyle of people who can reduce the risk of that disease. A balanced diet that contains few children from sugars (candy, cakes, ice cream, soft drinks, etc..), High in fiber (whole grains, fruits and vegetables), water and practice of physical activity throughout life, are factors that alone helps to have normal levels of blood sugar.

What is diabetes?

Diabetes, medically known as diabetes mellitus, is a universal health problem that afflicts at least 40 million people worldwide. Only in Mexico, affecting nearly 3 per cent of the population, indicating that more than 2.5 million people affected and representing the eighth leading cause of death in this country, before being cardiovascular disease, cancer and accidents .

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a chronic state of hyperglycemia (high blood sugar), which occurs as a result of genetic and environmental factors-abuse of drugs and not wearing a proper diet, among others.

But mainly to a lack of insulin (a hormone produced in the pancreas whose function is to regulate the use of energy in our body), through the introduction of carbohydrates, fats and amino acids in the cells, enabling them to synthesize protein and essential substances, ensuring the proper functioning of our metabolism.

When this hormone is absent, sugar and other nutritional components remain outside the cells, and therefore in the bloodstream, causing a rise in abnormal blood sugar.
Diabetes is not a benign disease and currently there is still no cure for it, but can be controlled at hundred percent, which is critical, because when it is not controlled so because, presents acute complications resulting levels blood sugar so high that there is a "shock hiperglucémico", which can degenerate into a coma and even death.

Among the chronic complications of diabetes, can submit a gradual loss of sight, diseases associated with kidney and nervous system and a high tendency to suffer arteroesclerosis and heart disease.

1 Year without doing physical exercises - Its effects

How you care.
If you feel you've lost flexibility when you stretch collect an object from the floor, or feel an extreme tiredness after having risen only three floors down the stairs, then you're faced with two symptoms you indicate that your physical condition has fallen to a point where probably avoid as much as possible the exercise because you get tired more, so you move less.
With this, your muscles and bones weaken, while you lose the benefits of being in shape: reducing the risk to various diseases, feel better and more alert and combat stress.

How to recover.
Begin exercising gradually, in line with your current capacity, if you exceed, you can jeopardize your heart and your joints, muscles and tendons. Ejercítate at least twenty minutes, three times a week, and vary the intensity of your exercise gradually.

If you have access to a road, you can raise your speed gradually. It starts the first days walk four kilometres to step fast, once you've become accustomed, travels the same distance, but Trot. Then you will run. To achieve aerobic exercise have recommended, you need your heart to work to 70 percent of its maximum rate. To work at this rate you should subtract your age to 220.

You can also use a watch with a heart rate meter put that on your wrist, to constantly measure and motivate. How long you take. If train seriously, you could run a marathon after five or six months. But after the first three months you're fit.
Never too late, and among younger you are, the faster gain physical condition. If you have more than 35 years of age and have a history of high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes or asthma, visit your doctor so you can make a medical examination before starting your routine.

Diet of pregnant diabetic

There is a particular clinical form of diabetes, known as "gestational", which is one that first occurs during pregnancy.

These are women, unsuspected of contracting this disease, which usually give birth to babies with great weight and a higher incidence of fetal perinatal mortality (towards the end of pregnancy and in the first days of life).

So important is this problem of modern obstetrics, from different forums of scientific opinion has suggested the desirability of conducting an "overload test glucose" to all pregnant women to average the second trimester of pregnancy.
If it is a known diabetic, the criteria for treatment (especially dietary measures) and monitoring, are similar.

In cases where a positive result, diet therapy is indicated for the immediate treatment as a fundamental element of this evil.
It should indicate regimes no more than 1,800 calories daily, or just over half of what is normally administered to a pregnant. And split into six daily meals input from these caloñas to avoid abrupt changes of dosajes blood sugar.

Of course, in any way, be included sugars in the diet of pregnant diabetic. There is no contraindication for some synthetic sweeteners (saccharin or cyclamates) or natural (aspartano).

The diet should not contain more than 50 per cent contribution of carbohydrates, complemented by a moderate physical exercise and not obtained the expected reduction in blood glucose (blood sugar), should begin treatment with insulin in early . If controlled properly, can lead to diabetic pregnant term and give birth to a normal baby.

The family history of diabetes, babies born large and perinatal deaths, are signals to suspect the possible presence of this disease.

Positive effects of milk

The fermented milk products have positive effects on the immune system, especially in pregnant women, infants, adolescents and elderly.

Even the children of mothers who drink this milk have a lower risk of allergies. There are also studies showing that the fresh yogurt is more beneficial to our defenses that the pasteurized, some experts believe it has little influence or anything about the immune system.

On the other hand, food prebiotics. especially fermentable fiber and prebiotic, are interesting in the prevention of evils such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity, and are useful in controlling osteoporosis.

Problems in the heart

It is a very sensitive to changes and the ageing of other organs, especially the veins and arteries.
For the 35 has served about half of its life cycle, and therefore can begin to give problems, especially combined with hypertension, diabetes, physical inactivity and obesity.

The risk of stroke or stroke increases from 55. Precisely, microinfartos brain are responsible for onset of senile dementia at age 70.

Diabetics and Celiacs

People with risk of diabetes or celiac disease-intolerance to gluten-may follow a normal diet, thanks to a new drug developed by the University of Baltimore and the company Alba Thera-peutics, USA.

Known as AT 1001. The drug acts on the zonulina, a protein that regulates intestinal permeability and appears at higher levels in diabetics and Celiacs.
It is expected that the AT 1001 is marketed in 2006.

On the other hand, diabetics could forget the invecciones with a new device from the U.S. company Ara paradigms. allowing them to inhale the hormone.

Care of the diabetic feet

If you are diabetic, you should have present that your feet are much more susceptible to infections that those of any other person. Hence, you are important that you revise them daily, besides following these instructions to avoid any lesion:

1- Not use bag for hot water, since your sensibility is much smaller and you could suffer serious burns.

2- Not walk barefoot in any place, less in the beach. You remember that that same decrease in the sensibility that we have mentioned you, could make you suffer wounds or burns.

3- You use appropriate shoes, without seams that can injure and as much as possible of circular tip.

4- You always use stockings, you don't import the station.

5- Before putting on shoes, you revise the interior of the footwear to detect abnormalities or objects that can damage your feet.

6- Don't exceed you in the bathrooms of feet, since they macerate and they soften the skin.

7- Not forget to browse your feet daily.

8- Dry your feet with a towel of soft shag and sole right for your feet. Dry very well the field that are among your fingers.

9- You damp your feet daily with a moisturizing cream. Due to the neuropathy the diabetic's foot has tendency to the anhidrosis (very dry skin).

10- You cut your nails in a direct way, you don't curve, since it can cause wounds. You are preferable to converge to a podólogo that are specialist in diabetes.

11- Not use chemical removedores of callosities.

12- Not use cures or leucoplasto since it can damage the skin.

Having in present these advice and maintaining well controlled your diabetes, you will be able to enjoy without suffering any nuisance.

The feet in the diabetics

The diabetes incidence in the world has increased to an epidemic rhythm. You are 240 million diabetics in the world and for next years it is suspected that that number will ascend to 380 millions. To all ésto, you are to mention that, regrettably, the diabetics possess frequent problems in your feet, that which you/they should take care a lot.

You are different factors that make that the diabetic's foot is particularly susceptible to wounds and infections:

- Vascular alterations
The high blood sugars (sugar in the blood), affect the blood vessels clogging up them. Plus still if you associate with dislipemia (alterations of the cholesterol and triglycerides) and the tabaquismo. You take place a decrease of the flow of blood then that you arrive to the feet, reason why the wounds can take in healing and the infections to take in curing. He/she can even give when walking similar pain to that of a cramp in calves that he/she calm down with rest and you are what are known with the "intermittent claudication" name.

- Neuropathic alterations
The high blood sugars maintained in the time, affect the nerve roots of the legs and you are what are known as diabetic neuropathy. This you are characterized to be distal and symmetrical in both inferior members. He/she can give as symptoms pains urentes (as ardor or to feel a fire) in the plant of the feet or desensitization. This takes to that the patient can show up big lesions without feeling pain. Hence, you are very important to substitute the tact for the view, that is to say, the diabetic should inspect your feet daily, searching marks of the footwear or erosions. If you end up finding some of them, you should continue browsing your shoes inside. Many times you ends up finding a nail, a stone or a seam like the responsible for this lesion. The fact of to detect ésto precociously and to solve it, avoids the production of serious lesions.

- Other very common lesions are those caused by the bag for hot water. The diabetic should have clear that cannot use this element, since it can suffer serious burns for the desensitization.

- Infections
The diabetic with descontrol is much more susceptible to the infections.

Sciatica

You are qualified, generically of sciatica, a painful syndrome of the sciatic consecutive ledge to an infection of the same one, of your medullary roots or of the corresponding plexus. The whole syndrome turns around the symptom pain that are of acute, intense character, terebrante and continuing, with frequent increases caused by the mobilization dle trunk or of the extremities or, simply, for the cough, contractions of the abdominal press, etc. Such increases to the effort are characteristic of the sciatica for injury radicular, that is to say, of the root of the ledge. You begin in the lumbar area, the inferior member continues, with longitudinal distribution until reaching the later face of the knee or, more frequently, the ankle or the extraneous edge of the foot. The pnto reached by the pain, as well as the features of the same one, constitute important elements in the diagnostic topographical lesional that rely on the appearance of clinical such signs as the positividad of the tests of Lasègue and other that are expressive of the sensibility of the roots of the sciatic ledge to the bare traction. In all the cases, the pain is not only referred to the member's interior, but also to the skin that cover it.

The syndromes doorosos of the sciatic ledge are consecutive to the aggression of this ledge at level of your roots (radiculitis), of the lumbar (plexitis) plexus or of the proppio trunk of the sciatic one. The ciatalgias is almost always of vertebral origin, and you are exceptional the neuritis of the trunk of the sciatic one.

The vertebral injuries that study preferably with sciatic syndrome are the called hernias of the pulpy core or hernia discal, and the protusions of the fibrous annulus. As you are known, the vertebral bodies are separated to each other by your elasticity, the movements of the bony vertebral segments; you are formed by a fibrous annulus that skirt the extraneous part of the surfaces of the vertebral bodies and you contain, in your center, the call pulpy core. The excessive and not well directed efforts of the spine, associate or not to degenerative states of the fibrous annulus, they can cause the break of this and the prutión or extruding of the disk that, in turn, you injure or you irritate the nerve root that emerge at level of the injured disk. Although this is the mechanical most frequent lawsuit in the citalgias, the nerve roots can be injured by toxic processes and infections. Among the most important lawsuits in sciatica, apart from the hernia discal, we can mention the toxic share of the alcohol, the tobacco plant, the diabetes, syphilis, etc.

The treatment should be guided fundamentally in two addresses: the deletion of the lawsuit that cause the pain and the treatment of this. For you are indispensable to establish an etiologic correct diagnostic. In the hernia discal, the therapeutical objective consists on avoiding the conflict arisen between the disk and the root. You are gotten with preservative methods, such as rest physique, management of relaxants, vertebral tractions, etc., or surgical that decrease to the extirpation of the disk herniado. The surgical treatment is urgent in the sciatic paralyzing calls, in those that the pain goes accompanied by debility or paralysis of the corresponding muscle groups. The treatment against the pain can be put before the antinflamatorio, and you consist on the corticosteroides management, butazolidina, muscular relakantes, termoterapia, vitaminoterapia of the complex B, among other.

Abnormal Pregnancies

It should be considered abnormal pregnancy the one that ends up in premature childbirth; that is to say, before the final dela gestation and with a viable fetus. They can be classified of immature the fetuses that weigh between 600 grams and 1250; and those that weigh from 1250 up to 2500 grams, of premature. The lawsuits are usually the same ones that drive to the abort, alterations of the egg in the moment of their formation; big fissures of the neck of the matrix; you position bad of the uterus; inflammations or infections of the same one; you cause general, as acute infections with fever (it seizes, diphtheria, fever of Malt, typhoid, etc.); nutritious and endocrine bugs; and finally, have an accident or violent traumatisms. the difference with the abort, is that in the abnormal pregnancies, the lawsuits usually show up in a later time. In these cases, it is necessary the pediatrician's collaboration with the obstetrician, being very useful the oxygen management to the mother in delivery, because it favors the respiration and the boy's ventilation. In the opposed end you must consider the prolonged pregnancy. The pregnancy usually lasts about 273 days; but, in 2% of women, the 300 days they are surpassed. In the clinic many women are observed that they come closer to the 10 ullages, but the reality is that many of them mistook their accounts or they were embarrassed in the ovulation that preceded to a retarded menstruation. the difficult thing is to predict with surety when a gestation is truly prolonged and if the fetus will damage, because, against that that habitually is believed, this is not the communio thing. With prolonged pregnancies we can find: fetuses of features and normal weight; of excessive and generally healthy (25%) weight; and of normal or inferior weight, but with hipermaduros features that offer a dehydrated aspect, skin fat wrinkled, scarce tissue, face of old and features of debility, being these the fetuses that you/they generally die. One of the prolonged pregnancy lawsuits is, in fact, the diabetes: of there the necessity is to insister about the importance of the control of the pregnancy.

Another class of this nature is the ectopic pregnancy, where the implantation of the egg outside of the uterus, being able to him to make and the trumpets, in the ovary and even inside the abdomen. For each 350 normal pregnancies one can exist ectopic. An or two ullages exist, with pregnancy symptoms that begin any day to enter vaginal petty haemorrhages and pain in a side of the first floor stomach. The symptoms resemble those of the abort; but any pregnant woman that enters blood losses, be these petty or big, you/he/she should, in an unwarranted way, to go to the expert that is the only one enabled to establish a correct treatment.

Finally the placenta praevia, is the vicious implantation of the placenta inside the uterus, so that it plugs the hole of the uterine neck and it impedes the exit of the fetus in the moment of the childbirth. The current obstetrics can solve this case favorably, most of the times by means of a caesarian operation.
