Heatwaves, cold snaps may raise preterm birth risk

 
 

05/09/2016

Being pregnant during a heatwave is far from the most pleasant scenario for a woman, but new research finds such extreme temperatures may do more than make expectant mothers uncomfortable; they could increase the risk of preterm birth. 

In a study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, researchers from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that exposure to extreme cold or intense heat during pregnancy increased women's preterm birth risk by up to a fifth. 

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in 2014, around 1 in 10 infants in the United States were born preterm - defined as the birth of a baby before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Preterm birth is the leading cause of infant death in the U.S., and it is also a primary cause of long-term disabilities and neurological disorders, such as cerebral palsy and developmental delay. 

There are a number of known risk factors for preterm birth, including a history of preterm delivery, smoking, alcohol, and drug use, and certain medical conditions, such as urinary tract infections and high blood pressure. 

Now, senior author Pauline Mendola, Ph.D., of the NIH's Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), and colleagues suggest extreme temperatures could also be a risk factor for preterm birth and early birth - delivery at between 37-38 weeks of pregnancy. 

Mendola and team reached their findings by analyzing the medical records of 223,375 women from 12 medical centers across the U.S. who gave birth between 2002-2008. All women had singleton deliveries. These data were then linked with hourly temperature data - obtained from the Weather Research and Forecasting Model - for the regions surrounding each of the 12 medical centers, in order to determine whether temperatures influenced the women's risk of preterm birth. 

Up to 21 percent greater preterm birth risk with extreme heat exposure 
For the study, extreme heat was defined as above the 90th percentile of average temperatures, mild temperature was defined as between the 10-90th percentile, while extreme cold was defined as below the 10th percentile. 

Overall, the team found that women exposed to extreme heat throughout the duration of pregnancy were 6-21 percent more likely to give birth at 34 weeks or 36-38 weeks of pregnancy, compared with those exposed to mild temperatures. 

Compared with women who were exposed to mild temperatures in the first 7 weeks of pregnancy, those who were exposed to extreme cold were 20 percent more likely to give birth before 34 weeks of pregnancy, were 9 percent more likely to give birth at 34-36 weeks, and were 3 percent more likely to give birth at 37-38 weeks. 

Women exposed to extreme heat in the first 7 weeks of pregnancy were 11 percent more likely to give birth before 34 weeks and 4 percent more likely to deliver at 37-38 weeks, compared with those exposed to mild temperatures. 

The link between extreme cold and preterm birth diminished after 7 weeks, though exposure to extreme heat at 8-14 weeks of pregnancy increased women's risk of giving birth at 37-38 weeks by 4 percent. 

Additionally, the researchers found women exposed to extreme heat between 15-21 weeks of pregnancy were 18 percent more likely to give birth at 34 weeks and between 34-36 weeks, and they were 4 percent more likely to give birth at weeks 37-38. 

Pregnant women 'should minimize exposure to extreme temperatures' 
The researchers are unable to conclude why exposure to extreme cold after 7 weeks of pregnancy did not increase preterm birth risk, but they suggest it is because the effects of cold weather are easier to escape - through seeking shelter, for example - while extreme heat is harder to avoid. 

While it is unclear why extreme cold and heat appear to affect preterm birth risk, the team speculates that extreme temperatures might impair placental development or blood flow to the uterus, which can trigger early labor. 

The researchers say further studies are needed to gain a better understanding of how extreme temperatures raise the risk of preterm birth, though these current findings should act as a warning for expectant mothers and healthcare providers.

Air ionizer Iventus210

74.50 €

Telpām līdz 20 kv.m. Ierīce jonizē gaisu, izmantojot elektronu jonizācijas plazmas sistēmu. Tai nav nepieciešams nomainīt filtrus, tāpēc to lietot ir ļoti vienkārši. Smalkais jonizatora dizains iekļausies jūsu interjerā. 

Gaisa jonizators attīra gaisu telpās, bagātina gaisu ar negatīvi lādētiem aerojoniem. Tas attīra gaisu no putekļiem, ziedputekšņiem, sēnītēm, vīrusiem, mājdzīvnieku blaugznām un apmatojuma pūkām, kukaiņu mikrodaļiņām, tabakas un citām nepatīkamām smakām.  Novietots tuvu elektrostatisko lauku avotiem (ieslēgtiem televizoriem, datoru monitoriem) jonizators 5-10 reizes samazina pozitīvo lādiņu spriegumu, ko radījuši šie avoti. Tāpēc jonizatoru vajadzētu novietot 0,5 -1,0 m no šiem avotiem.

Jonizatora izstarotie ultravioletie (UV) stari, iznīcina baktērijas un mikrobus, dezinficē telpu.

Ierīcei ir 3 darba režīmi:

-       gaisa jonizācija,

-       UV stari,

-       gaisa jonizācija + UV stari.

Ierīce neaizņem papildus vietu, jo tās kontaktdakša ir iemontēta tieši korpusā, kas ļauj to novietot tieši pie sienas. 

Ekonomiska – patēre tikai 8W elektriskās enerģijas.

   

Depoforēzes ierīce MAGIS

1640.00 €

Depoforēze MAGIS
- ierīce endodontiskai ārstēšanai ar vara-kalcija hidroksīda Depoforēzes metodi

Depoforēžes metodes pamatā ir vara-kalcija hidroksīda izmantošana pateicoties izteiktām dezinficējošām īpašībām un efektīvai aizsardzībai ne tikai pret baktērijām un to sporām, kā arī pret sēnītēm un to sporām. Turklāt varam piemīt kaulu audu augšanu stimulējošas īpašības, kam seko osteocementa veidošanās un sakņu kanālu aizpildīšanās.

Depoforēze ar vara-kalcija hidroksīdu (turpmāk – Cupral®) balstās uz permanenti sterilas sakņu kanālu sistēmas veidošanu, tostarp sakņu dentīnu, kā arī daudzu atvērumu kaulu obturāciju.
