Abortion In Arkansas
Wikipedia
The term elective abortion or voluntary abortion describes the interruption of pregnancy before viability at the request of the woman, but not for medical reasons. [1] Anti-abortion advocates tend to use terms such as "unborn baby", "unborn child", or "pre-born child", [2] [3] and see the medical terms " embryo ", " zygote ", and " fetus " as dehumanizing . [4] [5] Both "pro-choice" and "pro-life" are examples of terms labeled as political framing : they are terms which purposely try to define their philosophies in the best possible light, while by definition attempting to describe their opposition in the worst possible light. ... At the same time, a 2011 study by Center for Reproductive Rights and Ibis Reproductive Health also found that states with more abortion restrictions have higher rates of maternal death, higher rates of uninsured pregnant women, higher rates of infant and child deaths, higher rates of teen drug and alcohol abuse, and lower rates of cancer screening. [8] The study singled out Oklahoma, Mississippi and Kansas as being the most restrictive states that year, followed by Arkansas and Indiana for second in terms of abortion restrictions, and Florida, Arizona and Alabama in third for most restrictive state abortion requirements. [8] According to a 2017 report from the Center for Reproductive Rights and Ibis Reproductive Health, states that tried to pass additional constraints on a women's ability to access legal abortions had fewer policies supporting women's health, maternal health and children's health. ... (b) For the stage subsequent to approximately the end of the first trimester, the State, in promoting its interest in the health of the mother, may, if it chooses, regulate the abortion procedure in ways that are reasonably related to maternal health.

Psychotic Depression
Wikipedia
The HPA axis appears to be dysregulated in psychotic depression, with dexamethasone suppression tests demonstrating higher levels of cortisol following dexamethasone administration (i.e. lower cortisol suppression). [2] Those with psychotic depression also have higher ventricular-brain ratios than those with non-psychotic depression. [2] Diagnosis [ edit ] Differential diagnosis [ edit ] See also: Depression (differential diagnoses) Psychotic symptoms are often missed in psychotic depression, either because patients do not think their symptoms are abnormal or they attempt to conceal their symptoms from others. [2] On the other hand, psychotic depression may be confused with schizoaffective disorder . [2] Due to overlapping symptoms, differential diagnosis includes also dissociative disorders . [8] Treatment [ edit ] Several treatment guidelines recommend either the combination of a second-generation antidepressant and atypical antipsychotic or tricyclic antidepressant monotherapy or electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) as the first-line treatment for unipolar psychotic depression. [9] [10] [11] [12] There is some evidence indicating that combination therapy with an antidepressant plus an antipsychotic is more effective in treating psychotic depression than either antidepressant treatment alone or placebo. [13] Pharmaceutical treatments can include tricyclic antidepressants , atypical antipsychotics , or a combination of an antidepressant from the newer, more well tolerated SSRI or SNRI categories and an atypical antipsychotic. [10] Olanzapine may be an effective monotherapy in psychotic depression, [14] although there is evidence that it is ineffective for depressive symptoms as a monotherapy; [10] [15] and olanzapine/fluoxetine is more effective. [10] [15] Quetiapine monotherapy may be particularly helpful in psychotic depression since it has both antidepressant and antipsychotic effects and a reasonable tolerability profile compared to other atypical antipsychotics. [16] [17] [18] The current drug-based treatments of psychotic depression are reasonably effective but can cause side effects, such as nausea, headaches, dizziness, and weight gain. [19] Tricyclic antidepressants may be particularly dangerous, because overdosing has the potential to cause fatal cardiac arrhythmias. [10] In the context of psychotic depression, the following are the most well-studied antidepressant/antipsychotic combinations First-generation Amitriptyline/perphenazine [20] Amitriptyline / haloperidol [21] Second-generation Venlafaxine / quetiapine [22] Olanzapine/fluoxetine [15] Olanzapine / sertraline [23] In modern practice of ECT a therapeutic clonic seizure is induced by electric current via electrodes placed on an anaesthetised, unconscious patient. ...

Epileptic Spasms

The International League Against Epilepsy (ILAE) recommended in 2011 to abandon these terms [5] [6] for reasons of clarity and instead try to place individual cases into one of the following 3 groups: genetic, structural/metabolic, and unknown. ... Although not all children can become entirely free from attacks with medication, children with Down syndrome are less likely to go on to develop Lennox-Gastaut syndrome or other forms of epilepsy than those without additional hereditary material on the 21st chromosome . The reason why it is easier to treat children with Down syndrome is not known. [ citation needed ] If, however, a child with Down syndrome has seizures that are difficult to control, the child should be assessed for autistic spectrum disorder . [7] Cryptogenic [ edit ] When a direct cause cannot be determined but the child has other neurological disorder, the case is referred to as cryptogenic West syndrome. ... These include the Aristaless related homeobox ( ARX ) and cyclin dependent kinase like 5 ( CDKL5 ) genes. [8] The ARX gene in particular seems to be responsible for at least some of the X linked cases. [9] Variants in the KCNT1 gene (also known as SLACK potassium ion channel gene) can result in West syndrome https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK525917/ Idiopathic [ edit ] Occasionally the syndrome is referred to as idiopathic West syndrome, when a cause cannot be determined. ... Children with this form of the syndrome are less likely to go on to develop other forms of epilepsy; around two in every five children develop at the same rate as healthy children. [ citation needed ] In other cases, however, treatment of West syndrome is relatively difficult and the results of therapy often dissatisfying; for children with symptomatic and cryptogenic West syndrome, the prognosis is generally not positive, especially when they prove resistant to therapy. [ citation needed ] Statistically, 5 out of every 100 children with West syndrome do not survive beyond five years of age, in some cases due to the cause of the syndrome, in others for reasons related to their medication. Only less than half of all children can become entirely free from attacks with the help of medication. ... Ole Daniel Enersen. ^ "NINDS Infantile Spasms Information Page" .

Abortion In North Macedonia
Wikipedia
Although some changes from the original harsh draft of the law were made, due to opposition from the public and NGOs, several restrictions remained – restrictions which complicate the access to abortion. [6] [7] The new law enacted includes: mandatory filing of a written request for the termination of unwanted pregnancy by the woman to the appropriate health institution, mandatory counseling about the potential advantages of continuing the pregnancy, as well as about the health risks for the woman from undergoing an abortion, and a mandatory waiting period of three days after counseling before medical intervention is conducted to terminate the pregnancy. [8] The original form of the law also stipulated that the woman's partner had to be informed about the abortion – a provision which drew severe opposition and was consequently withdrawn. [9] The law, as well as the anti-abortion campaigns, have been criticized as stigmatizing women and being contrary to women's rights . [10] The 2019 Law on Termination of Pregnancy [ edit ] A new law was enacted in 2019, overturning the obstacles which made access to abortion difficult under the former law.

Catalepsy

It is also a characteristic symptom of cocaine withdrawal, as well as one of the features of catatonia . [ citation needed ] It can be caused by schizophrenia treatment with anti-psychotics , [3] such as haloperidol , [4] and by the anesthetic ketamine . [5] Protein kinase A has been suggested as a mediator of cataleptic behavior. [6] Unsuggested waxy catalepsy, sometimes accompanied by spontaneous anesthesia, is seen as an indicator of hypnotic trance. [7] Suggested or induced rigid catalepsy, of extended limbs or even the entire body, sometimes tested with heavy weights, has been a staple of stage hypnosis shows and even academic demonstrations of hypnotism since the late 18th century, as proof of extraordinary physical abilities possible in trance states. [ citation needed ] Such demonstrations have also been performed by Asian martial artists to prove the presence of "ki" or "chi" power, a kind of psychological or spiritual resource. [ citation needed ] Historical cases [ edit ] Armand D'Angour suggests that reports (such as that recounted in Plato's Symposium) of Socrates , in about 429 BC, standing perfectly still for hours on end during the Athenian campaign against Potidaea while seemingly deep in thought, are 'too extreme to be considered wholly a matter of rational choice,' and that 'it is reasonable to suppose that it was the symptom of an underlying physiological or psychological condition', such as catalepsy.
