It is a surgical emergency that most commonly affects infants between five and nine months of age. SOURCE However, neonatal intussusception is a very rare entity and is not well described. It represents 3% of the causes of neonatal intestinal obstruction and 0.3% of all cases of intussusception. 1, 2 The presentation of neonatal intussusception can be vague and misleading due to the rarity of the disease and the non-specificity of its symptomatology3. It is usually in the form of vomiting and abdominal pain that can mimic necrotizing enterocolitis and may lead to delay in diagnosis.

Task B A.) Personal factors Health, a child who has ill health may spend time in hospital and miss schooling, this would affect the child in education on all levels including emotional & social aspects of making friends etc. also conditions like asthma which can be triggered by certain conditions could affect a child’s physical development. Influences before and at birth, a babies development can be affected whilst still in the womb of the mother i.e. if the mother smokes, drinks or abuses drugs the baby could be harmed at this time or even if the maternal anxiety & stress could influence development.
The cysts may become infected. Some patients experience backache, deep pelvic pain, and constant vaginal discharge. Salpingitis - inflammation of the fallopian tubes. If the fallopian tubes become blocked the egg will not be able to pass along or enter the fallopian tube. There is a significant increase of ectopic pregnancy.
o Increase anxiety and stress Question 2 Common causes of difficulties with continence include: o Increased age o Weak or damaged pelvic floor muscles o Nerve damage (caused by child birth. surgery) o Increased abdominal pressure (caused by pregnancy or weight) o Lack of oestrogen (more common after menopause) o Medication side effects o Obesity o Neurological conditions (Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis) o Health conditions (urinary tract infection, cancer, tumour, bladder stones, enlarged prostate gland, bladder fistula) o Constipation o Family history o High intake of alcohol or caffeine o Spinal cord injury Question 3 It is important that health professionals recognise, respect and understand both personal and religious beliefs and values when assisting and managing continence care, in order to ensure individual choice specific
There are many factors that lead to developmental delays in children. These factors are divided into genetic influences and environmental influences. Children who come from households with low socioeconomic status are more at risk for developmental delays (Dunlap, 51-53). Prenatal (before birth), perinatal (during birth), and postnatal factors (after birth) also play a role in these delays. For example, an infant may be born prematurely, be exposed to drugs in the womb, or experience maternal deprivation.
It has been found that there are many emotional aspects of an abortion that can psychologically affect the wellbeing of the women. These emotions can include guilty feelings, anxiety, depression, loss, anger, and even suicide. There are many things that could ultimately go wrong with an abortion. Short term you can have clotting, cramping, hemorrhage (sudden, severe bleeding), incomplete abortion, perforated uterus, infection, bladder of bowel injury, cervical laceration, death. Long term effects chronic infection, ectopic (tubal) pregnancy, higher risk of future miscarriage or premature birth, increased risk of future birth defects, future labor complications, hysterectomy, sterility (unable to conceive), cervical cancer, breast cancer, hepatitis, mental and psychological
One of the reasons for this is "cervical incompetence". During an abortion the cervical muscle is hastily stretched open, and hence can be rendered too weak to stay closed for another pregnancy. Another complication is ectopic pregnancy, a life-threatening situation in which, due to scar tissue in the womb from the scraping of the abortion, a fertilized ovum is blocked from entering the uterus and so begins growing in the fallopian tube and eventually ruptures it. Since abortion was legalized, ectopic pregnancies have risen 300%. Many other physical complications can arise, as the chart below shows.
Some babies are born with growth deficiencies due to the alcohol consumption during pregnancy. They are short in length, under weight, and have small heads (Wong). Facial abnormalities include small eye openings, drooping eyelids, skin folds across the inner corners of the eyes, a flattened or missing bridge of the nose, underdeveloped philtrum, thin upper lip, cleft lip, and cleft palate (Wong). There are major organ defects, especially of the heart such as septal defects, tetralogy of Fallot, and patent ductus arteriosus (Wong). They may have problems with their respiratory system such as apnea, pulmonary hypertension and SIDS.
The woman may feel guilt, anger, anxiety, depression, and even suicidal thoughts may occur after the woman has an abortion. Physical side effects can include abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and/or spotting and bleeding. More serious physical side effects that may occur include infection, heavy bleeding, damage to the cervix, scarring of the uterine lining, damage to other organs, and even death. In some cases, infertility can occur causing the woman to not be able to have a child later in life (Susquehanna Valley Pregnancy
