GCSE Biology – Is Your Lifestyle Really a Personal Choice? – Lifestyle & Risk Factors #22

injuries No Comments »

Risk factors are things that increase the chance that a person will develop a certain disease. Lots of these are lifestyle choices that we make everyday. Learn the links you need to know, and how disease can affect society at large.

Read the full research online:http://www.bmj.com/content/347/bmj.f6398

Lucy Chappell and colleagues identify certain lifestyle factors that make it more likely for a woman to have a normal pregnancy.

They include increasing fruit intake before pregnancy, being a healthy weight, reducing blood pressure, stopping drug and alcohol misuse, and being in paid employment during pregnancy.

Although further work is needed to determine whether these associations have causal importance, this study implies that targeted interventions that encourage women to make healthy choices before and during pregnancy “may increase the likelihood of normal pregnancy outcomes,” write the authors.

Previous research has focused on the association between risk factors and subsequent adverse pregnancy outcomes, but little is known about factors associated with subsequent healthy pregnancies.

Researchers from the UK, Ireland and New Zealand therefore carried out a study to identify factors at 15-20 weeks’ gestation associated with a subsequent uncomplicated pregnancy. Their aim was to highlight those factors amenable to change before pregnancy, thereby informing decisions about interventions that could increase the likelihood of a normal outcome.

A total of 5,628 healthy women with singleton births (and no previous pregnancies) were recruited to the Screening for Pregnancy Endpoints study between November 2004 and August 2008 (3196 from Australia and New Zealand and 2432 from the UK and Ireland).

The primary outcome was uncomplicated pregnancy defined as a “normotensive pregnancy, delivered at more than 37 weeks resulting in a live born baby who was not small for gestational age and did not have any other significant pregnancy complications”.

Of the 5,628 women, 3,452 (61%) had an uncomplicated pregnancy. A lower proportion of women in the UK and Ireland had an uncomplicated pregnancy (58%) compared with women in Australasia (63%).

The most common reasons for a complicated pregnancy in the mother were gestational hypertension (8%) and pre-eclampsia (5%) and in babies was being small for gestational age (11%) and spontaneous preterm birth (4%).

Factors amenable to improvement that reduced the likelihood of an uncomplicated pregnancy (that is, were detrimental) were increasing body mass index and blood pressure and misuse of drugs (including binge drinking) in the first trimester.

Factors amenable to improvement that increased the likelihood of an uncomplicated pregnancy (that is, were beneficial) were high fruit intake in the month before pregnancy and being in paid employment 15 weeks into pregnancy.

Detrimental factors that could not be altered were being in a lower socio-economic group, high blood pressure before pregnancy while taking oral contraceptive pills, family history of high blood pressure in pregnancy and bleeding during pregnancy.

Lifestyle recommendations already exist for non-hypertensive people to optimise their blood pressure through physical exercise, weight reduction, limiting salt intake and alcohol consumption, and consuming a healthy diet, explain the authors. “Our study suggests that adoption of these choices seems to be beneficial in determining uncomplicated pregnancy.”

For example, a 5 mm Hg reduction of maternal systolic blood pressure would increase the proportion of uncomplicated pregnancies by 3% equating to 24,674 more UK women having an uncomplicated pregnancy. They say, however, that this requires demonstration in a randomised controlled trial.

They point to a “growing interest” in promotion of health and normality, rather than a focus on adverse outcomes and say that, if confirmed, “this study should inform development of interventions to increase normal pregnancy outcomes.”

What is BRIGHT'S DISEASE? What does BRIGHT'S DISEASE mean? BRIGHT'S DISEASE meaning & explanation

What is BRIGHT’S DISEASE? What does BRIGHT’S DISEASE mean? BRIGHT’S DISEASE meaning – BRIGHT’S DISEASE definition – BRIGHT’S DISEASE explanation.

Source: Wikipedia.org article, adapted under https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ license.

Bright’s disease is a historical classification of kidney diseases that would be described in modern medicine as acute or chronic nephritis. It was characterized by edema, the presence of albumin in the urine and was frequently accompanied by high blood pressure (hypertension).

The symptoms and signs of Bright’s disease were first described in 1827 by the English physician Richard Bright, after whom the disease was named. In his Reports of Medical Cases, he described 25 cases of dropsy (edema) which he attributed to kidney disease. Symptoms and sign included: inflammation of serous membranes, hemorrhages, apoplexy, convulsions, blindness and coma. Many of these cases were found to have albumin in their urine (detected by the spoon and candle-heat coagulation), and showed striking morbid changes of the kidneys at autopsy. The triad of dropsy, albumin in the urine and kidney disease came to be regarded as characteristic of Bright’s disease. Subsequent work by Bright and others indicated an association with cardiac hypertrophy, which was attributed by Bright to stimulation of the heart. Subsequent work by Mahomed showed that a rise in blood pressure could precede the appearance of albumin in the urine, and the rise in blood pressure and increased resistance to flow was believed to explain the cardiac hypertrophy.

It is now known that Bright’s disease is due to a wide range of diverse kidney diseases; thus, the term Bright’s disease is retained strictly for historical application.

Bright’s disease was historically ‘treated’ with warm baths, abstinence from alcohol, cheese and red meat, blood-letting, squill, digitalis, mercuric compounds, opium, diuretics, and laxatives. Most of these treatments are in fact harmful to the patient. The disease was diagnosed frequently in diabetic patients. Arnold Ehret was diagnosed with Bright’s disease and pronounced incurable by 24 of Europe’s most respected doctors. He finally designed the The Mucusless Diet Healing System and cured himself. William Howard Hay, MD suffered from the illness and it is claimed cured himself using the Hay diet.

Bright’s disease was a plot element in one of the early Dr. Kildare films (1945, Between Two Women). Sally (Marie Blake), the hospital switchboard operator, falls ill to a mysterious ailment and, fearing it is cancer, avoids treatment until Dr. Randall “Red” Adams (Van Johnson) correctly diagnoses it and operates on her kidney.

In chapter 11 of Dashiell Hammett’s 1929 novel Red Harvest, a minor character, Myrtle Jennison, is “in the hospital … dying of Bright’s disease or something.”
