Dificult issues

In our society there are topics that nobody talks. As health professional we must have our opinion about these topics. Abortion for example. Is the premature termination of pregnancy that causes the death of the fetus. Doctora Lorena Binfa talks us about that. In our country is illegal. Previously allowed only if the mother was at risk of life, but don't in this days. The mother says that this is her decision, the church sayd that the abortion it's against god says, and the goverment says that is illegal. The fact is, The genetics reveals that since the union of egg and sperm there is a new human being with all the genetic information necessary to develop there we have a being with it's own identity of the father and mother, with a genetic code not only determined to be a human being, but also has it's own characteristics, even if you have trained eyes, and has established what will be its shape, color, fingerprints, sex, etc. We add that 40 days there and records brain waver of the embryo.Psychologists have found that emotions can affect an unborn baby, which perceives the emotional state of his mother. It has even been shown that in many cases experince lengthy agonizing pain when aborted, so much so that in the U.S. have introduced bills to require abortionists to anesthetize the unborn child before killing him. I against abortion. Also the Doctora talk about contraceptive in Chile. In our country is accepted all kind of contraceptive methods. The government promotes the use of contraceptives. Finaly I think that is very good talks all these topics in our university life.

The stress, the enemy of our body

We as health professionals must take care about the stress in the life of people. But first what's the stress. the stress is a physiological reaction of the body against a threat. This actives many body's defense mechanisms. But the stress is a natural reaction. But a terrible problem if the stress continue a long time. the same natural defense mechanisms begin to damage the body. As I said before the stress can be caused by any external o internal situation (physical,chemical, auditory or somatic and sociocultural) that directly or indirectly conducive to destabilize the dinamic equilibrium of the body( "homeostasis"). For example situations that force to process information quickly, harmful environmental stimuli, threat perceptions, alteration of physiological funtions ( illness, addiction, etc) , isolation and confinement, blocks in our interests, peer pressure , and frustration. The symptoms of stress are a lot. The main symptoms are predominance of sympathetic nervous system ( pheripheral vasoconstriction, mydriasis, tachycardia, tachypnea, slowing intestinal motility, etc), release of catecholamines ( adrenaline and noradrenaline), cortisoland enkephalin, and increase in the amount circulating blood glucose clotting factors, free amino acids and immune factors. The consequences of stress are the people become depressed, don't think clearly, easily irritated, is ill at ease, they feel pain in their bodies. Most people suffer stress in this days. In Chile the rate the stress in the population increase. Especially job stress. But how to deal with stress. To combat stress is often recommend breathing exercises. The goal si to exercise voluntary control over breathing, so we use it as a painkiller when we overhelm the stress. Also, chewing gum in times of pressure, reduce stress levels five times lower than those perceived in normal conditions and also improve short-term memory.
