“…Studies have also shown that maternal stress during pregnancy can result in changes in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal-axis and elevated levels of stress hormones (particularly cortisol) with premature labor, shortened pregnancy length, low-birth weight and impaired fetal brain development as a consequence ( Obel C et al 2005;Sandman CA et al 1994;Wadha PD et al 1993;Gitau R et al 1998;Copper RL et al 1996;Weinstock M 2005;Diego MA et al 2006;Field T et al 2006). In this study we did not sample salivary cortisol among the participants before and after treatment sessions which would have been interesting.…”

Methods: Thirty pregnant women with blood-and injection phobia according to DSM-IV took part in an open treatment intervention. A two-session cognitive behavior group therapy was conducted. As controls, 46 pregnant women with untreated blood-and injection phobia and 70 healthy pregnant women were used. Repeated measures ANOVA were performed. Results:The scores for the CBT treatment group on the "Injection Phobia Scale-Anxiety"were reduced both after each treatment session and postpartum (p<0.001). Anxiety and depressive symptoms were also reduced (p<0.001). Conclusion:Cognitive-behavior group therapy for pregnant women with blood-and injection phobia is effective and stable up to at least 3 months postpartum. It seems also to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms during pregnancy.

“…cognitive effects in the child. Women with high antenatal anxiety or stress are more likely to have premature and low birth weight babies (Copper et al, 1996;Wadhwa et al, 1993Wadhwa et al, , 1998Field et al, 2003). Prenatal maternal stress is also suspect of affecting infant development and promoting a range of adverse temperamental effects (O'Connor et al, 2002(O'Connor et al, , 2003Field et al, 2003;Huizink et al, 2004;Laplante et al, 2004;Van den Bergh et al, 2005;Talge et al, 2007;Glover et al, 2010).…”

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 ...
