  Gavin McComack in his study explained, "so many parents are often worried about why their  children don't write even at age 4". And we have seen parents accusing school teachers of not doing a good job because their kids still can't write eligibly thereby transferring these children from school to school, what they don't know is that consistency is better than pursuing a particular developmental milestone. The picture explains why. You may think your toddler is relatively dependent and that the things they do around the house don’t matter, but you’d be wrong. Simple actions parents take at home can have a long lasting impact on the way your child enters and is in their first years of school. Up until 6years old, children hands are still in tue developing stageand not fully formed.  Children requires a progressive in their hands before grasping, holding of things and developing their writing skills. Children muscles needs to be trained, strengthened workout...

Researchers at San Giovanni Calibita Fatebenefratelli Hospital in Rome reported finding microplastic particles in the placenta of four women who had normal pregnancies and births. The babies were delivered using a plastic-free protocol to prevent contamination. The particles were found on both sides of the placenta and in the chorioamniotic membranes , most of them 10 microns in size, which means they are small enough to enter and travel through the bloodstream. The microplastics may have emanated from packaging, paints, or cosmetics that were either used, consumed , or inhaled by the mothers. Globally, more than 300 million tons of plastics are produced each year. While only 9% of plastic waste is recycled, the majority ends up in landfills and waterways, polluting the environment.  Previous studies have found mi...

A baby girl named Itzmara was born through a cesarean delivery, and 24 hours later, doctors performed a C-section on her too , because she had absorbed her twin in the womb, Mamás Latinas reported in March . When the mother, Mónica Vega of Barranquilla, Colombia, had an ultrasound at seven months pregnant, doctors discovered she had two umbilical cords inside her. One connected baby Itzmara to Vega, but the other connected Itzmara to a mass that was her parasitic twin. Ultrasound image of a term pregnancy When doctors noticed this, they diagnosed Itzmara with "fetus in fetu," a rare condition where a malformed fetus is found in the body of its twin. The doctors said they needed to deliver Itzmara right away through a C-section so they could then operate on the baby. They were worried that if they didn't remove the parasitic twin inside Itzmara, the mass could grow and injure the baby's organs. So after delivering Itzmara via C-section, the doctors p...

As 'Pink-tober' comes to an end, I'd like to take the opportunity to share my story and educate our nursing group about the kind of cancer I had: inflammatory breast cancer (IBC). For the oncology nurses in the group, you may have heard about this rare and very aggressive form of breast cancer but, what you might not know, is that there is a specific treatment protocol, much different from other breast cancer treatments. It is based on research from MD Anderson in Houston, and it is helping decrease mortality rates all over the world... I noticed a small red spot on my left breast, about the size of a thumbprint in late 2014. I thought I had bumped into something and dismissed it as nothing. A month later, it was still there and hadn't changed so, I scheduled my mammogram which was due anyway. With Thanksgiving, family visits, Christmas, the New Year, and starting a new job, I didn't give the results much thought until I received them in the mail:...

Harlequin ichthyosis is a severe genetic disorder that mainly affects the skin. Infants with this condition are born with very hard, thick skin covering most of their bodies. The skin forms large, diamond-shaped plates that are separated by deep cracks (fissures). These skin abnormalities affect the shape of the eyelids, nose, mouth, and ears, and limit movement of the arms and legs. Restricted movement of the chest can lead to breathing difficulties and respiratory failure. The skin normally forms a protective barrier between the body and its surrounding environment. The skin abnormalities associated with harlequin ichthyosis disrupt this barrier, making it more difficult for affected infants to control water loss, regulate their body temperature, and fight infections. Infants with harlequin ichthyosis often experience an excessive loss of fluids (dehydration) and develop life-threatening infections in the first few weeks of life. It used to be very rare for affected...

Few years ago, 2014, during the Goodluck Jonathan (the erstwhile President of Nigeria) administration the west sent a biological weapon to Africa, Nigeria was a major target. A human being loaded with EBOLA virus came into this country landed in Lagos the most populous state in the country for to attend an oblivious conference. That man was diagnosed of Ebola and would not cooperate with the care givers. It took one brave woman Dr. Ameyo Adedevoh , who dealt him a defeating closeline and single handedly restrained him to the bed. She is said to be the greatest grand daughter of Nigeria's foremost founding father of the Nigerian state, Ajayi Crowther. She is credited with having curbed a wider spread of the Ebola virus in Nigeria by placing the patient zero , Patrick Sawyer , in quarantine despite pressures from the Liberian government. When threatened by Liberian officials who wanted the patient to be discharged to attend a conference, she resisted the pressu...

Umbilical cord length varies, with a range of 35–70 cm at birth being regarded as normal. Both shorter and longer cords are associated with increased rates of intrapartum complications. UC length is thus a significant factor when assessing fetal risk. Antenatal estimation of cord length is however extremely difficult. Traction force produced by fetal movements in the first trimester is assumed to be the crucial growth stimulus of the cord. A short UC is thus associated with reduced fetal movement and all its respective causes (e.g. malformation, myopathies, neuropathies, oligohydramnios). What is a short umbilical cord? An umbilical cord is considered short if it is less than 35 cm at term, although some researchers and clinicians consider 40 cm or even 45 cm to be short. Complications of short umbilical cords for the baby including: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) Cerebral palsy Umbilical cord rupture Breech presentation Miscarriage/sti...

Stories has it that nomads of sub-saharan Africa has a rite or culture of having sex with their cattle's. The veracity of this claim is yet to be verified. Recently somewhere in northern Nigeria, certain sheep was found to have delivered of what looks like a human baby with animal features. There's great suspicion that this could be a product of bestiality. Bestiality is a word describing sex between a human and an animal. There are few things stranger or more repulsive than bestiality, but this is the worse form of human relations. When you say bestiality, you can hear the word beast, which is a good clue to the meaning. People who are into bestiality like having sex with animals. It doesn't matter what animal is involved: if someone is having sex with something alive that's not a person, it's bestiality. Bestiality is illegal and usually considered very wrong and harmful to everyone involved. In the 1970s, world ren...
