 Drugs->Hormones: How Hormones Work

Healthy LivingMost hormones exist in very low concentrations in the bloodstream. Each hormone molecule travels through the blood until it reaches a cell with a receptor that it matches. Then, the hormone molecule latches onto the receptor and sends a signal into the cell. These signals may instruct the cell to multiply, to make proteins or enzymes, or to perform other vital tasks.

 Pregnancy & Childbirth: Self-administered C-section still amazes doctors

Healthy LivingKEYWORDS: self performed C-section medical miracles home childbirth amazing birth story

AUTHOR: Lisa J. Adams

Alone in her one-room cabin high in the mountains of southern Mexico, Ines Ramirez Perez felt the pounding pains of a child insistent on entering the world.

Three years earlier, she had given birth to a dead baby girl. As her labor intensified, so did her concern for this unborn child.

The sun had set hours ago. The nearest clinic was more than 50 miles away over rough terrain and inhospitable roads, and her husband, her only assistant during a half-dozen previous births, was drinking at a cantina. She had no phone and neither did the cantina.

So at midnight, after 12 hours of constant pain, the petite, 40-year-old mother of six sat down on a low wooden bench. She took several gulps from a bottle of rubbing alcohol, grabbed the 6-inch knife she used for butchering animals and pointed it at her belly.

Fetuses and newborns exposed to some common anti-inflammatory drugs may be at risk for lasting changes in brain structure that can affect adult sexual behavior, according to a new study involving rats.

While researchers emphasize that the results might not apply in humans, some scientists say they raise the possibility that during a vulnerable window in pregnancy and infancy, these drugs could alter developing human brains, too.

Known as COX-2 inhibitors, this class of anti- inflammatories includes aspirin, acetaminophen, ibuprofen and indomethacin.

The National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and the Environmental Protection Agency are working together to launch one of the most ambitious biomedical projects in history -- a massive study to identify the biggest threats to children's health called the National Children's Study.

The study would examine a vast array of factors that may affect physical, mental, emotional and developmental health by following more than 100,000 children across the country from before birth until age 21. It will also try to answer such questions as: Does watching television affect behavior? Do vaccines cause autism? How does spanking affect development and emotional health? Is day care harmful or helpful?
