If a mother has Rh-negative blood and her baby has Rh-positive blood, her immune system sees the baby's Rh-positive cells as foreign and makes antibodies to fight them. These antibodies can cross the placenta and destroy the baby's red blood cells.
Rhesus disease can mostly be prevented with an injection of anti-D immunoglobulin.
This helps avoid a process called sensitisation, which happens when a woman with Rh-negative blood is exposed to Rh-positive blood and develops an immune response to it.
Rh-positive blood has a molecule called the RhD antigen on the surface of red blood cells.
The injection of anti-D immunoglobulin works by destroying any RhD positive blood cells that may have entered the mother's bloodstream during delivery. This prevents her immune system from making antibodies against them, which reduces the risk of her next baby developing rhesus disease.

It usually takes about 6 weeks to recover from your c-section but this will depend on your individual situation. If you had any problems during or after your c-section, or if you’re looking after other children at home, you may feel you need more time to recover.
The female reproductive system is a very complex system. And as with any system, occasionally, things go wrong. When treatments and therapies can't fix an issue, sometimes surgery is required. Surgery to remove a woman's uterus or womb, a major component of this system, is called hysterectomy
An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy. It's also sometimes known as a termination of pregnancy. The pregnancy is ended either by taking medicines or having a surgical procedure. The decision to have an abortion is yours alone.
Some women may be certain they want to have an abortion, while others may find it more difficult to make a decision.
All women requesting an abortion can discuss their options with, and receive support from their care provider, if they wish.
Vaccines help prepare the body to fight foreign invaders (pathogens such as bacteria or viruses), to prevent infection. All vaccines introduce into the body a harmless piece of a particular bacteria or virus, triggering an immune response. Most vaccines contain a weakened or killed bacteria or virus. However, scientists have developed a new type of vaccine that uses a molecule called messenger RNA (or mRNA for short) rather than part of an actual bacteria or virus. Messenger RNA is a type of RNA that is necessary for protein production. In cells, mRNA uses the information in genes to create a blueprint for making proteins. Once cells finish making a protein, they quickly break down the mRNA. mRNA from vaccines does not enter the nucleus and does not alter DNA.
Pregnancy is a period that places great physiological stress on both the mother and the fetus. When pregnancy is compounded by endocrine disorders such as hypothyroidism, the potential for maternal and fetal adverse outcomes can be immense. While a lot of attention has been focused on the adverse fetal outcomes consequent to hypothyroidism, attention is also being gradually directed towards the adverse maternal outcomes of this disorder. Role of antibody positivity in influencing outcomes in a euthyroid woman, also needs further clarification. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism in pregnancy is very essential. Subclinical hypothyroidism also needs to be detected and treated to prevent adverse outcomes, especially maternal. Since women with hypothyroidism during pregnancy, especially of the autoimmune variety might have a flare up of the disorder post-partum, or might continue to require thyroxine replacement post-partum, adequate follow-up is mandatory. While targeted case finding is generally practised, recent evidence seems to indicate that universal screening might be a better option. In conclusion, routine screening, early confirmation of diagnosis and prompt treatment. Allied with regular post-partum follow up, is required to ensure favourable maternal and fetal outcomes.
Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder affecting red blood cells. Normal red blood cells contain hemoglobin A. People with sickle cell disease have red blood cells containing mostly hemoglobin S, an abnormal type of hemoglobin. These red blood cells become sickle-shaped (crescent-shaped), and have difficulty passing through small blood vessels. There are several different types of sickle cell disease; the most common types are homozygous sickle cell disease (SS disease), and sickle-cell beta thalassemia (Sß+ or Sß0 disease).
Gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) forms a group of disorders spanning the conditions of complete andpartial molar pregnancies through to the malignant conditions of invasive mole, choriocarcinoma and the veryrare placental site trophoblastic tumour (PSTT). There are reports of neoplastic transformation of atypicalplacental site nodules to placental site trophoblastic tumour.If there is any evidence of persistence of GTD, most commonly defined as a persistent elevation of beta humanchorionic gonadotrophin (βhCG), the condition is referred to as gestational trophoblastic neoplasia (GTN).
This section introduces menstrual health and hygiene as a global opportunity to advance gender equality and human rights. Menstruation affects 1.8 billion girls, women and transgender persons globally each month, yet many lack dignified and healthy ways to manage their periods due to gender inequality, poverty and lack of basic services. This negatively impacts lives and restricts opportunities. Investing in menstrual health and hygiene yields benefits for individuals, future generations and society.

Though in some cases it comes as a blessed relief, in others it can be a bit more complicated than that.
There is general inconsistency in the nomenclature used to describe abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) classification system for AUB, which has been approved by the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) Executive Board as a FIGO PALM-COEIN classification system.
Placenta previa is a condition that may happen during the second or third trimester of pregnancy. It's one of the most common causes of vaginal bleeding during these trimesters. It happens when the placenta implants in the lower part of the uterus. This causes the placenta to block part or all of the opening of the cervix to the vagina (birth canal).

Molar pregnancy is one of a group of uncommonly occurring conditions called gestational trophoblastic disease (GTD) that occurs when a pregnancy does not develop properly. There are two types of gestational trophoblastic disease:
Nausea and vomiting of pregnancy commonly occurs between 5 and 18 weeks of pregnancy. Between 50 and 90 percent of women with normal pregnancies have some degree of nausea, with or without vomiting. The severity of these symptoms can vary and can last for various periods of time.
"Morning sickness" is the term often used to describe mild nausea and vomiting that occur due to pregnancy (and not due to other illness), even though symptoms may occur at any time of day. "Hyperemesis gravidarum" is the term used to describe a more severe condition. Hyperemesis may cause you to vomit multiple times throughout the day, lose weight, be unable to consume food and liquids, and typically requires evaluation in the hospital and treatment with medication(s).

Lecture 1 Introduction history and institutes of entomology_1.pptxArshad Shaikh
*Entomology* is the scientific study of insects, including their behavior, ecology, evolution, classification, and management.
Entomology continues to evolve, incorporating new technologies and approaches to understand and manage insect populations.
The insect cuticle is a tough, external exoskeleton composed of chitin and proteins, providing protection and support. However, as insects grow, they need to shed this cuticle periodically through a process called moulting. During moulting, a new cuticle is prepared underneath, and the old one is shed, allowing the insect to grow, repair damaged cuticle, and change form. This process is crucial for insect development and growth, enabling them to transition from one stage to another, such as from larva to pupa or adult.

Understanding Vibrations
If not experienced, it may seem weird understanding vibes? We start small and by accident. Usually, we learn about vibrations within social. Examples are: That bad vibe you felt. Also, that good feeling you had. These are common situations we often have naturally. We chit chat about it then let it go. However; those are called vibes using your instincts. Then, your senses are called your intuition. We all can develop the gift of intuition and using energy awareness.
Energy Healing
First, Energy healing is universal. This is also true for Reiki as an art and rehab resource. Within the Health Sciences, Rehab has changed dramatically. The term is now very flexible.
Reiki alone, expanded tremendously during the past 3 years. Distant healing is almost more popular than one-on-one sessions? It’s not a replacement by all means. However, its now easier access online vs local sessions. This does break limit barriers providing instant comfort.
Practice Poses
You can stand within mountain pose Tadasana to get started.
Also, you can start within a lotus Sitting Position to begin a session.
There’s no wrong or right way. Maybe if you are rushing, that’s incorrect lol. The key is being comfortable, calm, at peace. This begins any session.
Also using props like candles, incenses, even going outdoors for fresh air.
(See Presentation for all sections, THX)
Clearing Karma, Letting go.
Now, that you understand more about energies, vibrations, the practice fusions, let’s go deeper. I wanted to make sure you all were comfortable. These sessions are for all levels from beginner to review.
Again See the presentation slides, Thx.
