Massage helps up Mother-baby bond

Massage helps up Mother-baby bond

I am sure many mothers love to massage their baby. Now a new research proves that massage has to do more than just to develop a baby’s muscles, it also allows the infant to feel and sense his or her mother’s affections via her fingers, says a leading expert.

Health experts have already acknowledged that breast-feeding enhances the bonding between mother and child and also helps the child to grow healthy.

Now, there is another way to simulate and promote a baby’s growth. The answer is by massaging the infant. The development of the infant’s muscles and orientation are crucial towards asisting the child to stand and walk.

Consultant paediatrician Dr Zulkifli Ismail says: “Caressing is a magical touch between a parent and the child. The infant can feel and sense the mother’s affections via her fingers and this works the other way round. The mother can also feel the infant’s response via the touches.”

Pregnant_womanPregnant Woman from Swine flu located areas “Be aware”. This is what the latest thing  swine flu has made the government officials do.

A Study conducted by US medicals finds out that, the swine flu hits the pregnant women 4 times harder than normal population. In other words, they  have a greater risk of adopting the flu than the other.

Now this findings has brought upon serious concern for the government. The reason for that is, the pregnant women who catch this H1N1 virus ends up in complicated case with no recovery from the virus. Which makes it a Must and Necessity to give the pregnant women the swine flu control Vaccine if developed quicker.

The Study that revealed the shocker was conducted on  34 pregnant ladies as mentioned in BBC News. Out of which 6 died reportedly.

Five of the other admitted women underwent caesarean deliveries. Four of the babies have now left hospital, and the fifth, born very prematurely, is doing well. Luckily,none of the babies showed any sign of swine flu infection.

Recession Vs Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery

Ya I know the title is odd. Both of them are irrelavent. But in times of recession and money crunch everything becomes relavent. I am sure by now all of you are gonna expect me to post something that tells plastic surgery is lossing popularity these days due to recession. Nope, thats not the case this time.

Plastic surgeries are still popular and the blood thirsty recession that has managed to have an imapact on every place on this planet, failed to make a change in plastic surgeries. While the recession continues, a poll of 1,000 women carried out this month showed that 63 percent aged 18-34 and 73% of women aged 35-49 thought positivelt of age-camouflaging procedures. Of the younger bracket in favour of cosmetic work, 44% said they consider Botox to be a “routine” precedure, according to a survey.

Looks like money crunch can’t stop looks-obsessed people from spending money on their looks.

Bypass Surgery can be a Killer

Bypass Surgery can be a Killer!

Bypass Surgery can be a Killer!

The popular bypass surgery that has been used on millions of patients worldwide to fix a vein blockage leading to the heart and thus saving millions of lives can actually be an killer. The doctors have so far used endoscope to remove leg veins for heart bypass surgery appears to actually damage veins and make the patients 52% more likely to die within the next three years.

Endoscope is the latest technique that are used by doctors to remove the vien from the the leg with much less pain and scar. Endoscope is a technique in which the doctors use guided cameras into the body and with the help of it remove the vein causing much less scar compared to the traditional method known as the “open harvesting”.

About 70% of bypass patients now have the leg vein removed endoscopically, in part because it produces much less scarring and infection to the leg.

Now doctors have reported that this technique can actually damage the veins and might be responsible for future heart attacks to the patients. The study of 3000 patients found veins removed by the endoscope the technique was significantly more likely to become clogged within a year or so.

At the 12 to 18 month mark, 47% of the patients had at least one of their bypass grafts fail, versus 38% for whom the blood vessels were removed by the older method. Most patients had two or three grafts. The older method does seems to be safe statistically, but its purly dependant on the patient. I don’t think it is right to call the Endoscope Bypass surgery a killer. It is a life safer. It just helps the doctors extend the life of the patient. But untimatelly every one has to die. So extending the life involves risk but it has to be done or else the patient will die  sooner.

Divorced Men Cry more than Divorced Women

Posted by Riz On July - 10 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

weddingFirst  of all the common arguments start between couples, then great fight, then split up and finally Divorce. Many couples mainly Men think they have done the right thing by ditching their spouse. well, if your one of those guys who are deciding to have divorce, then you should be the first to read this post.

A study conducted by Australian Institute of Family Studies, have found out that Divorced Men are not happy and some go on to the extend of hating the purpose of living. Divorced Women in the other hand are found to suffer from low finance. The Men used for the study have kids around the age of 18, it was found that after divorce the men grew more prosperous ever. Men earnings rose a high percent of about 24% whereas women on the other hand have an average of rise in their income of about 1.8%. Both cases are after Divorce.

Now what went wrong for men? why do they hate life after divorce? It is said that the divorced men find it hard to maintain the basic Household work, possibly cooking, cleaning, gardening, looking after kids, which is done greatly by a mother. Few of the men refuse to take help from child support cause they dont wont to pay them.

That is buddy, be careful while taking the most crucial step of your life.

A survey conducted on around 900 people proves that good relationship with the partner help them survive the stress which the couple face. This survey means Business proving the fact clearly about the issues rising around the couple. Ann-Christine Andersson Arnten who is a PhD student interviewed the people during the survey process.

The relationship reduces the negative effects of this kind of stress on our health. But poor relationships will amplify the negative effects“, said Andersson Arnten.

“A positive approach and successful stress-management techniques also help to reduce the negative effects of work-related stress.

“But when there are stressful experiences both at work and in the relationship, the risk of burn-out and poor health increases dramatically,” she added.

Having a bad relationship affects both the man and woman. Woman normally ends up facing Mental stress, sleeping problems, anxiety. On the other hand, a mediocre experience for men will lead them towards anxiety, depression and psychological problem.

This will be opposite to the pair having good relationship. The better way to get a relationship going is  talk with your partner openly on issues that you feel bad. Clear the air on stuff that you need explanation on. Compromise yourself, don’t be egoistic.

Andersson Arnten said: “One explanation can be that people living ith a mediocre relationship take more responsibility to improve he relationship, while those with poor relationships just admit it, and don’t feel they can do anything about it.”

Internet users spend less time with family

Here comes the most known report, the difference is  its proven now with the survey conducted throughout America.   Internet Users throughout America are facing less  Face to Face time with the Family members. There new interest  is in Social Networking, Online Browsing, Chat with new friends, hangout with friends, etc.,

Concentrating so much on social networking sites makes them fail in the family contact, survey reports . It was earlier reported through another  survey that Social Networking reduces the interest of teens  in studies. Now, the latest Survey reports  of  low and decreasing contacts and chats with family members.

This is real bad ah, family is first always  but  its hard  to leave  Internet as it contains so much entertainment. Teenage students also feel not only  in America but throughout the world that  “Without  Internet their life will be like Hell”.

The Survey was conducted by  by researchers at the Center for the Digital Future at the USC Annenberg School for Communication. Its shocking to learn from these reports  that  the rate of increase of  people who say  they are spending less time with family members have been jumped  from 11 percent in 2006  to  26 percent in 2008.

According to Researchers, reports of feeling ignored, at least sometimes, by family members using the Internet also grew by 40 percent over the same period.

Michael Gilbert, author of The Disposable Male and a senior fellow at the Center, says that diminishing family time coincides with the explosive growth of social networks and the importance people place on them, a trend first reported in the Center’s 2007 surveys. The most reports from a family comes from  Women in the family  reporting that they are being ignored most of the time by the internet user of the family.

Gilbert added : “The family is our social foundation, society’s basic building block. We need to guard its health in what otherwise seems to be a boundless digital future.”
