Our group project is on menopause and our goal is for menopausal women to be able to identify coping mechanisms and alternative therapies to help them with signs and symptoms they may experience. Menopause is a normal transition that all women will experience at some time in their lifespan. During the transition phase it can affect cognitive (verbal memory), affective (verbal learning), and psychomotor (fine motor skills) in the first year after their last menstrual period (Anderson, 2013). It is important to teach our menopausal women that the memory problems that they experience is not because of sleep disruption or depression; it is because of hormonal fluctuations they are experiencing during the changes of life (Emling, 2013). At times …show more content…
According to Erickson’s Psychosocial Stages this encompasses both the stages of Generativity vs. Stagnation and Ego Integrity vs. Despair. The teaching strategies may vary depending on the patient and care needs to be individualized as signs and symptoms of menopause may vary from woman to woman. We will use a variety of teaching strategies that will help women learn to cope effectively with the symptoms of menopause. They will include role playing (as demonstrated in the skit we will perform), visuals such as poster boards, as well as various items that we will pass around to the audience so that they will be familiar with them. By using a variety of different teaching strategies, menopausal women can learn that there are various ways to cope with the symptoms and with effective teaching they will realize that menopause is a natural part of the ageing process in …show more content…

Menopause is the time in a woman’s life when the ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone, and menstruation ceases. The absence of hormones and a monthly period prevents pregnancy from happening. Though many women mistake the years leading up to their last period as menopause, this, is perimenopause, the term used for the transition. Women may assume that pregnancy is not possible at any stage leading up to menopause, but this simply is not true. If you are still producing hormones to ovulate there is a chance of pregnancy, and contraception is still necessary. It is important that women at this stage in their reproductive health seek the advice of an OBGYN to discuss the need
The world around us has many current issues that relate one way or another to family and consumer science. I recently read an article written by Joan R. McFadden and Kay T. Rawson Swan, entitled “Women During Midlife: Is It Transition or Crisis?”. The article talked about how women go through the different stages of menopause also known as mid-life crisis to some. With a mid-life crisis it is stated to involve a feeling of loneliness, a period of wanting to find one’s self in the world, a time to reinvent yourself, to live outside of a woman’s everyday life style, and to experience changes in health and family roles. For many women these statements are said to be true, but not all women are the same.

A woman goes to the pediatric Eemergency Ddepartment with her four-month old daughter following her pediatrician’s phone recommendation. The infant has been extremely irritable and has not been breastfeeding as usual for the past 24 hours. The mother’s last three attempts to feed the baby were followed by vomiting of whitish, serous fluid. The perinatal history is unremarkable and she received antenatal care. The patient was born by spontaneous vaginal delivery with no complications. Apgar scores were 8, and 9 at 1 and 5 minutes of life. The patient is up to date with her vaccines. Prior to this event, she could raise her chest while lying on her stomach, follow moving objects and smile at the sound of her mother’s voice; she could babble and imitate facial expressions. Physical examination is significant for an ill-looking and irritable
Navigating menopause doesn’t have to be a horrible experience. When you have a team like North Coast OB/GYN on your side, you have access to a group of professionals who understand the ins and outs of managing hormonal balances. Even if you’re not in the Elyria, OH, area, or a patient of North Coast OB/GYN, these 3 tips for managing menopause related hormone shifts can make all the difference:

The researchers emphasized the need for a closer investigation of progesterone effects in postmenopausal women, but continue to exclaim that it is potentially so much better than synthetic progestin or estrogen. Results from previous studies were not operationalized to be used within means of this study. Often, throughout the paper, the researchers use terms such as variable, general, almost uniformly, or mostly, to describe results. However, it is difficult to distinguish the significance of the references they are using because the claims are generalized. The few studies they
Mainly in women by oophorectomy or natural menopause, decrease in ovarian hormonal output have low concentration of estrogen and progesterone and experience a cognition decline. Estrogens have several established neural actions that are predicted to contribute its theorized protective role against cognition decline. These neuroprotective actions fall into three general categories: (1) improved cognition via regulation of various processes including spine density, long-term potentiation, and neurotransmitter systems, (2) protection against neuron cell death, and (3) inhibition of select aspects of AD neuropathology including Aβ accumulation and tau hyperphosphorylation. The ability of estrogens to reduce Aβ accumulation may be their most important neuroprotective action against cognition decline. As mentioned previously, Aβ formation from APP mediated by two pathways either amyloid genic or non-amyloid genic routes. If the production of low levels of soluble APP alpha by non-amyloid genic route and factors influence amyloid genic processing of APP or a reduction in the Aβ clearance pathways can lead to accumulation of Aβ, which in turn promotes assembly of the Aβ peptides into toxic oligomers and large insoluble fibrils that can affect brain neurons. This process can be prevented by estrogen and following menopause the decline in estrogen may then result in cognition decline due to the deposit of insoluble Aβ
There is no difference between the words "naked" and "nude", in my opinion the words are pretty much interchangeable. The only thing that is different is how one interprets the words. A "nude" or "naked" body can be represented in a variety of ways. Most people will use the word "naked" when referring to a body presented in an arousing or sexual way, "naked" has a raw connotation, whereas many people use the word "nude" when referring to a body presented in an artistic way, which focuses on the form and shape of the body. I believe that it is the presentation of the "naked" or "nude" body that makes the difference, not which word is chosen to describe it. For example, if a strip club uses the phrase "all nude dancers" one does not
As we progress through life, it seems that simple things become difficult to recall. The question is does memory decline with age. There have been numerous debates about whether age has any correlation with memory deterioration or if our lapse in the recollection of our memories is contributed to stress we are experiencing. Another important factor that we must consider is the illnesses that are linked to memory loss such as Dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. How does a researcher examine memory decline in humans in respect to age? Biology plays a key role in aspect to memory loss and the illnesses associated with memory loss; gender also seems to be a significant factor when discussing memory deficits.
Pregnancy is a basic time of versatility whereby fetal improvement might be fundamentally affected by natural components, for example, maternal supplements and hormones, and in addition the acquired hereditary profile. There is a solid potential for these elements to apply an enduring effect on the posterity's development and wellbeing into adulthood.
Women’s health in the United States has advanced greatly in the last 200 years. From the Popular Women’s Movement in the early to mid-1800s, where reforms were largely centered on the elimination of corsets, to Roe vs. Wade and the creation of the Office of Women’s Health Research, women’s health has come a long way and is still evolving1. In the practice of physical therapy, women’s health has progressed from gynecological care to a whole-person, holistic approach to women’s health. "The realm of women 's health really looks at physical therapy for a woman throughout her life span," says Wendy Featherstone, PT, president of APTA’s Women’s Health Section and owner of Specialty Physical Therapy in New York2. Researchers have long known that sex plays a role in health. Therefore, research in women’s health is key to advancements in personalized medicine for both sexes.
Imagine that a government purposefully denied over 1,000 rights and benefits from one group of people who haven 't broken any laws, would you support that government? Years ago, homosexuality was unacceptable. Most that were gay hid it from others and did not act upon it. In the United States, same-sex couples are denied legal marriage. Gay marriage in the United States is a big conflict nowadays and we as the people have to do something to fix it. We need to fight for equal rights guaranteeing marriage rights to same sex couples.The fight for the allowance of same-sex marriages has been a long process, and just recently the issue is coming more into the light of current politics. In a country where there is separation between church and
