“…The pregnancy experience is affected by the variety of roles that women play in their life. The roles demands, and concerns about pregnancy, make a stressful event for someone, because beyond the tensions of the day by day, thoughts about the pregnancy course and childbirth itself, the concerns and expectations about the health of the baby can be considered stressors 8,9,15,16 .…”

“…The experimental group was evaluated in the third trimester of pregnancy. This time was established according to the authors [14][15][16] , who suggest that the strongest effect of anxiety in the prenatal period is the first and last quarter. The post test was administered three months after partum.…”

It is assumed that 25% of patients with epilepsy are women of fertile age and 0.3% to 0.6% of all children are born of mothers with epilepsy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality of life on pregnant with epilepsy and compare with non-pregnant women with epilepsy. We evaluated two groups (Experimental Group -29 pregnant women with epilepsy and Control Group -30 women with epilepsy); they were attended at the HC/ UNICAMP. The patients had three meetings to carry out and implement the anamnesis and the application of QQV-65. There were no significant differences in the measurement of quality of life when comparing both groups. However, when we analyzed individually in the pre-and post-partum periods, we observed significant differences in health aspects (p=0.0495), physical (p=0.02868) and emotional (p=0.0253) dimensions in QQV-65. This study shows that pregnancy could be interpreted as a stressor. In late pregnancy when this stressor was removed, women with epilepsy had improvement in their quality of life. Key words: women, pregnancy, quality of life, epilepsy.Qualidade de vida em gestantes com epilepsia versus mulheres com epilepsia RESUMO Admite-se que 25% dos pacientes com epilepsia sejam mulheres em idade fértil e que 0,3% a 0,6% de todas as crianças nascidas sejam filhas de mães epilépticas. O objetivo do presente estudo foi avaliar a qualidade de vida em gestantes com epilepsia e compará-la com a de mulheres com epilepsia não grávidas. Foram avaliados dois grupos (Grupo Experimental -29 gestantes com epilepsia e Grupo Controle -30 mulheres com epilepsia) atendidos no HC/UNICAMP. As pacientes foram submetidas a três encontros para a realização de anamnese e a aplicação do QQV-65. Não encontramos diferenças significativas na avaliação de qualidade de vida ao comparar ambos os grupos. No entanto quando avaliados individualmente no período pré e pós-natal, observamos diferenças significativas nos aspectos: saúde (p=0,0495), físico (p=0,02868) e emocional (p=0,0253) no QQV-65. Este estudo mostrou que a gravidez pode ser interpretada como um estressor. No final da gravidez, quando este estressor foi removido, mulheres com epilepsia mostraram melhora na qualidade de vida. Palavras-chave: mulheres, gravidez, qualidade de vida, epilepsia.

“…Estudios sobre estrés y fases precoces del embarazo, han determinado que las consecuencias de este fenómeno emergen en múltiples niveles, desde una reducción en el número sitios uterinos de implantación del blastocisto cuando el estresor aparece en el período pre-implantacional 4 , hasta un mayor riesgo de aborto espontáneo en embarazadas que presentan niveles de cortisol elevado 5 ; efectos posteriores serían la prematuridad y el bajo peso al nacer 6,7 . Es por esto que el estrés materno es considerado actualmente como un verdadero teratógeno del desarrollo fetal 8 .…”

“…Recent studies have demonstrated that anxiety, depression and anger that somehow reflect the maternal stress, have an adverse impact on the foetal weight, the time of gestation and neonatal behaviour [6][7][8]. Without a doubt, they are important factors that could mark the psyche of the women in their first years of life, the genetic predisposition and the phenotype of the women that are prone to preterm birth [9]. Finally, Hobel Calvin J.…”

SummaryIndependent of the clinical syndrome that results in chronic inflammation, there is an overlap of the different etiopathogenic factors in the most common diseases of the modern era. Its pathogenesis also has similar pathophysiological mechanisms. Independent of the clinical syndrome that results in chronic inflammation, there is an overlap of the different etiopathogenic factors in the most common diseases of the modern era. Its pathogenesis also has similar pathophysiological mechanisms. These two facts prompt us, independent of the particular therapeutic connotations for each disease, to establish certain measures of prevention and treatment, also common, where precisely the holistic treatments that seek to Systemic homeostasis, are appropriate. These are the biological treatments, where the homo-toxicology, without a doubt, stands out as one of the best therapeutic alternatives.The universal concept of inflammation allows us to understand more than just the symptom and going beyond a therapeutic protocol, unfortunately a lasting solution is not in our hands and may be the anthropology, sociology and ecology, the sciences involved in the definitive solutions. In the meantime, to understand that the chronic disease of the adult may have originated during gestation or before the same. We have to look at humanity in full, in its family nucleus, interacting with an environment, in a dynamic process, involutionary and evolutionary at the same time, but it will be the knowledge of our own nature which will allow a better pathogenetic and therapeutic approach.At the end of the first millennium and the start of the second a new profile in sicknesses made itself evident and it would be naive as to think that there was no epidemic relationships between the illnesses that made them up. In today's society, the analysis of each individual sickness, without taking into account the biological changes surrounding the environment in the development of modern day life, would isolate man as a strange object in his own universe and perpetuate the reductionist concept of the Cartesian medicine where the dismembering of the human body in its sickness makes an important part of its philosophy. Under the integration prism of the environmental conditions we shall analyse the epidemic variants in the prevailing illnesses. And in one medical concept we will integrate the environmental changes with the psycho, neuro, endocrine and immunological alterations of the organism, which is the origin of almost all human disease.Keeping in mind the environmental conditions for thousands of years in the life development were relatively stable. Evolution made a permanent adjustment that allows the successful existence of life on the planet. Unfortunately, in the last few decades, human life and its relation with the stability of nature around it have changed in such a violent and extreme manner that the human being, from the biological point of view, is not prepared to defend and prosses the information which an adverse environment supplies ...
