Early Menopause Test!!!

Hello Everyone! Today I'm going to talk about an articule related with the menopause.
Test could warn women of early menopause: http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2010/oct/18/test-women-early-menopause
The Scientists are developing a test to diagnose the early menopause in women younger than 35 years through a blood test. Among the advances that have allowed give a focus on developing this test, is the identification and understanding of 4 genes relevant to early menopause. This test would be beneficial for those women trying to become pregnant and who can’t conceive due to early menopause. Researchers from Exeter University' Peninsula Medical School and the Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) examined the four genes. The Dr Anna Murray, says "It is estimated that a woman's ability to conceive decreases on average 10 years before she starts the menopause, and "Therefore those who are destined to have an early menopause and delay childbearing until their 30s are more likely to have problems conceiving. These findings are the first stage in developing an easy and relatively inexpensive genetic test which could help the one in 20 UK women who may be affected by early menopause." The published study in the journal “Human Molecular Genetics” is the first investigation, and with the collaboration of some organizations, pretends to keep track of 100,000 women over the next 40 years to determine lifestyles, environmental and genetic factors that make some women susceptible to most common cancer in women. The fertility experts said that genetics test prevents women who postpone childbearing to age 30 and realize they can’t conceive a pregnancy, and suddenly they find suffering from early menopause. As today there are more women who delay childbearing, this test can tell you in advance to women who carry genes that suffer from early menopause and that after to start the menopause is not there return. In my opinion this test is an excellent solution for women with early menopause, and who delayed motherhood for reasons such as personal fulfillment and work, enabling them to keep in mind who are carriers of genes. So, of this way, they can decide to have children earlier and avoid feeling frustrated with the idea of motherhood.

Dealing with stress =S

Hello Everyone! Today I'm going to talk about the dealing with stress.

Stress is a physiological reaction mechanism where they act mechanisms of defense against threatening situations. It is a natural response but today is confused with a disease because it can cause damage in the human body. When this natural response is given in excess during an overload of stress affects the body and can cause the onset of disease and pathological abnormalities that prevent normal development and functioning of the human body.

The trigger situations of stress or "stressors" can be any stimulus that affects the body's internal balance. There are 8 major categories of stressors, and are: situations that force to process information quickly, harmful environmental stimuli, perceptions of threat, disruption of physiological functions, isolation, locking of the interest, pressure and frustration.

Some symptoms of stress are anxiety, constant pressure, confusion and haste, irritability and sadness, physical symptoms such as stomach problems, headaches and chest pains, allergic reactions such as eczema and asthma, sleep disorders, excessive drinking, overeating and depression.

On the other hand, the “Work Stress” can be defined as a set of adverse reactions, both physical and emotional, that attend when work demands exceed the capacity, resources or needs of the worker. Job stress can lead to psychological and even physical illness.

I will be a midwife, and in the future I will be faced with stressful situations that I will have to overcome. Some situations that may occur are, for example, a hospital with many patients and with few professionals, where there are to give the attention to the people quickly and effective, causing a lot of pressure on the professionals in that situation.

So, How to manage stress?
Some ways of dealing with stress are, for example, sleep good, breathing exercises and relaxation, make some sports, lead a healthy lifestyle and learn to solve problems.
