Bed-rest pregnant moms may need therapy

CLEVELAND (UPI) — A pilot study is testing a set of exercises and programs to help new mothers who had to be confined to bed during pregnancy, a U.S. nursing professor said.

Judith Maloni of Case Western Reserve University’s Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing in Cleveland is exploring interventions that may help the nearly 1 million pregnant women annually sent to bed near the end of their pregnancies to prevent pre-term labor or other pregnancy complications.

These mothers often do not understand why they suffer back problems and muscle aches and are fatigued, while other new mothers seem to bounce back after giving birth.

“Putting people in bed is not a benign kind of thing,” Maloni said in a statement.

Following delivery of children, women who had been confined to bed during pregnancy may need physical therapy and other help to overcome long-term effects such as bone loss, decreases in body mass, fluid loss, depression and muscle weakness.

Maloni is in the process of recruiting 80 women in good physical and mental health with at least 21 days or more of bed rest prior to their baby’s birth to participate in the study.

Health and Beauty Tip

Strengthen your nails

Before you go to bed every night, use a nail-strengthening cream on your nails (and under, if they’re long). This also keeps them hydrated, which is essential for healthy nails.

How HRT is linked to breast cancer

COLUMBIA, Mo. (UPI) — Hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, may play a role in promoting cancer tumor cell proliferation, U.S. researchers suggest.

The study, published in Cancer Research, found tumor cells exposed to progestin — a hormone used in HRT — was linked to an increase in growth factor promoting new blood vessels in tumors.

The researchers also found using an antibody that prevents new blood vessel formation in tumors — known as PRIMA — re-activated the protein p53. When p53 was activated within tumor cells, the number of breast cancer cells reduced significantly.

“As women age, many develop tiny lesions in their breasts,” study leader Salman Hyder of the University of Missouri-Columbia said in a statement. “The majority of the time, these lesions never expand. We think this might be due to p53s. We found in our study that when the protein is active, it reduces the number of breast cancer cells in the body by inhibiting the growth factor that supplies blood vessels to the tumor.”

However, when the cells of these lesions are exposed to progestin in a body that does not have an active p53 protein, the researchers found that the cells might start expanding and turn into tumors, Hyder said.

Paschal is the fundamental and most important festival of the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches. Every other religious festival on their calendars, including Christmas, is secondary in importance to the celebration of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. This is reflected rich Easter-connected customs in the cultures of countries that are traditionally Orthodox Christian majority. Eastern Catholics have similar emphasis in their calendars, and many of their liturgical customs are very similar.

This is not to say that Christmas and other elements of the Christian liturgical calendar are ignored. Instead, these events are all seen as necessary but preliminary to the full climax of the Resurrection, in which all that has come before reaches fulfilment and fruition. They shine only in the light of the Resurrection. Pascha (Easter) is the primary act that fulfils the purpose of Christ’s ministry on earth—to defeat death by dying and to purify and exalt humanity by voluntarily assuming and overcoming human frailty. This is succinctly summarized by the Paschal troparion, sung repeatedly during Pascha until the Apodosis of Pascha, which is the day before Ascension:
Christ is risen from the dead,
Trampling down death by death,
And upon those in the tombs
Bestowing life!

Preparation for Pascha begins with the season of Great Lent. In addition to fasting, almsgiving, and prayer, Orthodox Christians cut down on all entertainment and non-essential worldly activities, gradually eliminating them until Great and Holy Friday. Traditionally, on the evening of Great and Holy Saturday, the Midnight Office is celebrated shortly after 11:00 pm (see Paschal Vigil). At its completion all light in the church building is extinguished. A new flame is struck in the altar, or the priest lights his candle from a perpetual lamp kept burning there, and he then lights candles held by deacons or other assistants, who then go to light candles held by the congregation. Then the priest and congregation process around the church building, holding lit candles, re-entering ideally at the stroke of midnight, whereupon Paschal Matins begins immediately followed by the Paschal Hours and then the Paschal Divine Liturgy. Immediately after the Liturgy it is customary for the congregation to share a meal, essentially an Agápē dinner (albeit at 2:00 a.m. or later). In Greece the traditional latenight dinner is mageiritsa, a hearty stew of chopped lamb liver and wild greens seasoned with egg-and-lemon sauce. Traditionally, Easter eggs, hard-boiled eggs dyed bright red to symbolize the spilt Blood of Christ and the promise of eternal life, are cracked together to celebrate the opening of the Tomb of Christ.

The day after, Easter Sunday proper, there is no liturgy, since the liturgy for that day has already been celebrated. Instead, in the afternoon, it is often traditional to celebrate “Agápē Vespers”. In this service, it has become customary during the last few centuries for the priest and members of the congregation to read a portion of the Gospel of John (20:19–25 or 19–31) in as many languages as they can manage.

For the remainder of the week (known as “Bright Week”), all fasting is prohibited, and the customary Paschal greeting is “Christ is risen!,” to be responded with “Truly He is risen!”
