Download or read book Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2001-07-02 with total page 287 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It's obvious why only men develop prostate cancer and why only women get ovarian cancer. But it is not obvious why women are more likely to recover language ability after a stroke than men or why women are more apt to develop autoimmune diseases such as lupus. Sex differences in health throughout the lifespan have been documented. Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health begins to snap the pieces of the puzzle into place so that this knowledge can be used to improve health for both sexes. From behavior and cognition to metabolism and response to chemicals and infectious organisms, this book explores the health impact of sex (being male or female, according to reproductive organs and chromosomes) and gender (one's sense of self as male or female in society). Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health discusses basic biochemical differences in the cells of males and females and health variability between the sexes from conception throughout life. The book identifies key research needs and opportunities and addresses barriers to research. Exploring the Biological Contributions to Human Health will be important to health policy makers, basic, applied, and clinical researchers, educators, providers, and journalists-while being very accessible to interested lay readers.

Download or read book The Male Role in Pregnancy Loss and Embryo Implantation Failure written by Richard Bronson and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-07-15 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Novel topics compiled in this one-of-a-kind volume provide tantalizing hints for clinical application through future translational research. Only recently have we come to ask what role the male might play in pregnancy loss and embryo implantation failure, beyond contributing an abnormal set of paternal chromosomes at fertilization. This volume explores the recent evidence that these conditions might also be related to the transmission of previously unrecognized chromosomal micro-deletions and duplications, or via the epigenetic dysregulation of early embryonic gene function by spermatozoal microRNAs or alterations in sperm DNA methylation patterning, or by DNA damage secondary to either reactive oxygen species or environmental toxicants. In addition, the composition of seminal plasma has been found to be highly complex, containing many factors that play important roles in altering the uterine environment and the female immune system permissive of embryo implantation and trophectoderm outgrowth leading to successful pregnancy. Coverage includes an examination of both spermatozoa and seminal fluid component factors.

Download or read book The Pregnant Man written by Deirdre Barrett and published by Crown. This book was released on 1998 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A student bound for a prestigious writing program is suddenly and inexplicably incapable of reading a single word. A staid society matron, looking to overcome her anxiety about flying, reveals a daredevil past. A young woman trying to come to terms with her sister's suicide is hampered by a poltergeist's mischievous interventions. A man who sets out to end an addiction to nicotine instead develops a false pregnancy. Can hypnotherapy heal a troubled mind? Why is it so compelling and controversial? In The Pregnant Man: And Other Cases from a Hypnotherapist's Couch, Dr. Deirdre Barrett describes how she has used the fascinating discipline known as hypnotherapy to treat these patients and many others. Tracing the voyage of seven patients through her practice, she demonstrates how hypnosis can accelerate and magnify the benefits of psychotherapy--and occasionally its dangers. Several of Dr. Barrett's patients evince disquieting symptoms--hallucinations, multiple personalities, and more--that hypnotic explorations reveal as variations on the universal themes of love, bereavement, envy, and shame. Other patients bring to her couch more mundane complaints--a desire to quit smoking, fear of flying--and in the course of their therapy uncover surprising dramas behind them. The Pregnant Man follows Dr. Barrett's personal evolution as a hypnotherapist, even as it illuminates the art and science of a branch of psychotherapy all too often misunderstood by the general public. She explains how hypnotherapy can offer a deeper window into the workings of the mind and offers expert guidance on deciding whether hypnotherapy is right for you. "From the Trade Paperback edition.

It presents the similarities and differences between expectant Moms and Dads. It explains that knowing these differences can produce a lasting relationship..that will endure for 50 years. This book describes the expectations, changing, challenging and sometimes baffling behaviors, of first time expectant fathers, a foreign and often misunderstood territory filled with myth and misunderstanding. What do men think about during the nine months of pregnancy? What are their concerns and worries? Are they worried about "real" things related to the birth of the baby? Why do some men stray from their relationship and have affairs during this time? Why do some men lose themselves in work, to old friends, hobbies, habits, and almost anything to avoid pregnancy which is when their partner needs them most. How can you detect and avoid your spouse or partner's destructive behavior? Are men more prone to violence with their partners during pregnancy? What changes in behavior are normal for fathers during pregnancy? How frequently do pregnancies result in separation or divorce? Are there early warning signs that a couple's relationship may be in trouble? How can you test and know the strength of your personal relationship? How can you make the pregnant relationship the best you've every enjoyed in your life? What's Your Pregnant Man Thinking? provides readers with a roadmap to understanding the windfalls and pitfalls of their new adventure of having a family. It will help every expectant couple understand their needs during pregnancy and give them a commanding lead toward achieving their dreams as parents. As every pregnancy begins with hope, Dr. Rodriguez fulfills this hope by opening new insights, encouraging tolerance, and providing an understanding of the signs and steps to follow for a blissful tomorrow. Studying the behavior of expectant fathers and couples for over 25 years, the author presents the yearnings, dreams, exploits, confessions, and challenges of expectant fathers during pregnancy. As he clearly writes, they feel deep emotions about the pregnancy. Couples feel deep emotions toward one another. They feel passion for their lives and futures. Each father and couple expressed the wish that they had known more about themselves, their expectations, and how to meet their partner's needs. What's Your Pregnant Man Thinking? grants their request.

Book excerpt: The Pregnant Guy is a humorous look at pregnancy from a male perspective. It aims to provide a road-map to childbirth for the half of the population that has trouble asking for directions. Every expectant dad departs on a nine-month mystery tour to somewhere he has never been, probably never planned to go, and from where he cannot ever return: Parenthood. And men are never ready. Most of us are still too happy behaving like a child to consider actually having a baby. But as long as it involves sex, we're willing to give anything a try. Sure, it's the woman that gets pregnant, but it's the guy who has to live with a person whose hormones are permanently set one notch below rage and who has more mood swings than the Glenn Miller band. Now at least there's some help. A book about pregnancy and childbirth written for the guys, by a guy.
