Ellie again questions herself and her actions when she blows up a lawnmower to save her friends. She battles with her decision and believes she is a murderer. Although the choices she makes may deliver pain and trauma to others, her human spirit shines through the chaos to help her succeed. Through the characters in ‘Tomorrow When the War Began’, Marsden shows the human spirit’s ability to grow and triumph. Ellie’s decisive ability and her morals are thrown into chaos when she arrives at the family house and finds her dogs dead.
Biological is inside of Margret’s womb can have a massive influence on the development of Jacqueline’s development. For example if Margret was smoking during her pregnancy this will have major effects on the foetus’s development. Nicotine can limit the amount of blood and nutrition that reaches the foetus. Also when Margret gives birth to Jacqueline, she would weigh less which means she is more able to catch infections as she is very weak. This could also affect Jacqueline later in life when she is in education because she would have diffulcilites regarding attention and leaning in school, Margret’s smoking could also affect Jacqueline’s womb in later life.
Travelers whom travel to countries that have an increased risk of measles outbreak need to protect themselves by getting vaccinated before traveling, this could help to prevent bringing the illness back home with them. Children younger than five and older than twenty are the most likely to suffer the greatest complications from the virus (CDC, 2015). Complications from the measles virus include high fevers, rash, conjunctivitis, ear infections and in severe cases pneumonia and encephalitis (CDC, 2015). Pregnant women risk having a baby with low birth weight or giving birth
The vaccination programme is only temporary to deal with the heightened risk of whooping cough infection during this outbreak. A similar programme is already under way for pregnant women in the US, although the evidence for its effectiveness is still unclear. Dr Mary Ramsay, the head of immunisation at the Health Protection Agency (HPA), welcomed the measure. "We have been very concerned about the continuing increase in whooping cough cases and related deaths. "It's also important we continue to remind all parents to ensure their children are vaccinated against whooping cough to continue their protection through
Patients with drug induced lupus have symptoms that affect the joints, heart and lungs. Neonatal Lupus occurs with antibodies cross the placenta in pregnancy from the mother to the child. Children that are born to women who test positive for the antibody SSA/RO are at greater risk of developing lupus, although this occurring is rare. The children who do end up with neonatal lupus will see symptoms like skin rashes and even liver underdevelopment. There is an even rarer chance that they could develop a life-threating heart condition called congenital heart block or
Abortion is the termination of the entire pregnancy yet selective reduction is performed to improve the survival rate of the remaining fetuses and also the mother. Selective reduction is performed early in the pregnancy, normally between weeks 9 and 12, it is most often performed when there are four or more fetuses present, can be used to reduce triplets to twins, and with a fetus with severe defects (www.webmd.com). Infants born part of a multiple pregnancy are at increased risk of prematurity, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, slow language development, behavioral difficulties, chronic lung disease, and death (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013). These risks play an important role in a mother’s decision to utilize selective reduction. Maternal risks of a multi-fetal pregnancy include hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and postpartum hemorrhage (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013).
Marcus also shows signs of learning difficulties, and limited communication skills. These problems could have developed by Tiffany smoking habit while pregnant. This paper will discuss the risks and developmental complication, the long-term disorder, potential issues for the child during later development, and the relationship between my findings and the developmental history case. Risks and Developmental Complication During Tiffany pregnancy she smoked at least four cigarettes a day, she informed me in the interview she tried several times to quick smoking but fail at every attempt, she was aware of the complications that could happen to her unborn child. Nicotine exposure has been shown to increase risk for inattention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity (Massaro, Rothbaum & Aly, 2006).
Maternal periodontal infection may pose a possible risk factor for preterm deliveries, low birth weight babies, and preeclampsia (Guideline on Perinatal Oral Health Care, 2011). Expectant mothers with poor oral health and high levels of Mutans Streptococci (MS) and Lactobacilli (LB), the bacteria which generate acids from fermentable carbohydrates responsible for causing dental caries, pose a greater risk for infecting their children thus increasing the risk for childhood caries at an early age (Young, Buchanan, Lubman, and Budenz, 2006). The opportunity to improve perinatal oral health care for high risk mothers increases our ability to prevent dental disease in the expectant mother, to provide for optimal pregnancy and birth outcomes, and to decrease the potential for early childhood caries. The National Guideline Clearinghouse (2010) developed a guideline to “provide recommendations for perinatal oral health care, including risk assessment, anticipatory guidance, preventive strategies, and appropriate therapeutic interventions to be
What’s even worse is that although there are four warnings from the surgeon general on every cigarette box emphasizing the potential dangers of lighting up, these deaths still occur. “SURGEON GENERAL’S WARNING: Smoking Causes Lung Cancer, Heart Disease, Emphysema, and May Complicate Pregnancy” (CDC). Congress passed a law requiring these warnings on all packages and advertisements regarding tobacco products to help discourage the use of this nasty substance. In fact, many prevention and deterrence programs are in place to dissuade the use of tobacco products. You would think that the alarming number of tobacco-related deaths or the menacing warning labels would be enough to scare away users, but excuses such as addiction and stress keep them using no matter what they see or hear.
