Researchers from the University of Iowa (UI) and University Hospitals Cleveland Medical Center report that offspring can be protected from the effects of prenatal stress by administering a neuroprotective compound during pregnancy. The team published its study “Maternal P7C3-A20 Treatment Protects Offspring from Neuropsychiatric Sequelae of Prenatal Stress” in
Antioxidants & Redox Signaling.
Working in a mouse model, Rachel Schroeder, a student in the UI Interdisciplinary Graduate Program in Neuroscience, drew a connection between the work of her two mentors, Hanna Stevens, MD, PhD, UI associate professor of psychiatry and Ida P. Haller Chair of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, and Andrew A. Pieper, MD, PhD, a former UI faculty member. Pieper is now Morley-Mather Chair of Neuropsychiatry at Case Western Reserve University and Investigator and Director of the Neuro
Most women between the ages of 25-65 should have regular cervical cancer screenings.
In many cases, there are no early warning signs of cervical cancer, which is why screenings are so vital.
Even women who are finished having children or who practice “safe” sex should follow screening guidelines set by the American Cancer Society.
It’s a story that should have had a different ending. In 2014, Rachael Foley, 43, had a Pap Smear, just like she was supposed to. She was told the results were normal, and went on with her life per usual… only the results really weren’t normal. Three years later, she was diagnosed with cervical cancer and had to have a hysterectomy.
