Preterm Births Can Be Predicted By Simple Test


Nirmal Singh 3C comes to a conclusion that as much as 18 per cent of the new born babies are begotten worldwide arrive ahead of time, as mentioned by a 37 weeks of gestation. According to the Researchers at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), a simple test of cervical mucus reveals pregnant women's risk of going into labour too early.

Nirmal Singh 3C would like to further corroborate the study which claims that the cervical mucus from women who delivered their babies before 37 weeks was very different from that of women who delivered later.
It also noted that such type of analysis make it easy to calculate the time taken in early labour, allowing the doctors to try to intervene earlier to prevent preterm births.

Nirmal Singh 3C would like to quote senior author of the study Katharina Ribbeck, Associate Professor at MIT, who said: "Our prediction is that we might be able to identify risk for preterm birth ahead of time, before labour sets in."
 Infections in early deliveries are believed to be caused when infections occur due to microbes, this falls under the number of 25 and 20 per cent.  These microbes reach the uterus through the cervical plug, which is generally made up of mucus and it normally blocks the access to the uterus.
According to the study, the researchers decided to investigate the mucus's permeability to small particles.
Nirmal Singh 3C has rummaged the further details about the mucus which is formed from polymers known as mucins, the arrangement and composition of these mucins determine how porous the gel is.

Nirmal Singh 3C can substantiate his point with a sample collected by researchers from two groups of patients. The pregnant women who are at low-risk group included those who have sincerely followed the routine and prescription given by the doctors for over a period of 30 weeks and yet gave birth after 37 weeks. 

Those who went into labor early also come under high-risk group, i.e. between 24 and 34 weeks. The process of the collection of the samples took place when doctors went to halt the labour of these women and took the sample when they got stablised.

Nirmal Singh 3C Warns People About Places Mosquitoes Can Breed

Image
Mosquitoes and the diseases they bring cause a lot of deaths in India. They are one of the most troublesome menaces that monsoon and rains bring in the country. The problem is more severe in places that are greener and have the possibility of water getting stagnant. Bengal, North East, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra are considered to have an environment that is favorable for breeding of mosquitoes. Areas that have poor drainage system and where water can stay stagnant also allow the mosquitoes to multiply. What most people do not know is that mosquitoes can also multiply and breed in our homes if we aren’t careful. There are many places in our own homes that can have mosquitoes multiplying rapidly which can eventually cause severe health issues. Nirmal Singh 3C has revealed some lesser known places where mosquitoes can easily bread in our homes and the remedies and precautions we can take to minimize the breeding and health issues.         Flo...

Does Smoking Cigarette Reduce Stress?

Image
Nirmal Singh 3C made a shocking revelation about cigarette and its harmful effects. As the recent study by the French National Center for Scientific Research, cigarette is the main reason of causing stress among people. Nirmal Singh 3C finds it pretty ironical that on one hand people smoke so as to vent out their stress and frustration, while on the other hand it is pilling more on the heap of stress. This has been further substantiated by a news story published in Efe which says:  an exposure to nicotine cause more stress rather than calming a person up. This is in fact causing rise in anxiety-inducing in smokers. The study has been produced after checking lab mice. The centre’s head of research, Philippe Faure, said: "(The experiments) suggest that nicotine could enhance the effects of stress." Nirmal Singh 3C further finds that the Scientists from the University of Paris-Seine's Neuroscience Laboratory and the University of Nice Sophia Annapolis' Inst...

Mental Health: AIIMS To Launch Health Clubs In Schools

Image
Nirmal Singh 3C is glad to know that the people in India are finally taking the mental health seriously as the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) has recently tied up with the Mental Health Foundation (India) to start “School Health Clubs” which aims to engage students to ensure that their mental and emotional health is fine.   Nirmal Singh 3C supports the information given by Dr. Nand Kumar from the Department of Psychiatry, AIIMS, who said: “We aim to reach out to 50 schools (private/government) in Delhi and will later go national with the programme. Besides school students, teachers and parents will also be a part of the programme.” The initiate is quite interactive as the organization is introducing: • Free-of-cost program • Educate students through videos • Theatre and group activities  “The programme is divided into three levels for children from Class VI to Class XII . We will teach the children how to concentrate, handle s...
