Giving anesthesia to pregnant women does not affect the development of the baby, study says

-

Researchers have found in a new study that giving anesthesia to pregnant women for emergency surgery has nothing to do with child development problems.

 

 

According to study author Stephen Rex and his colleagues and head of anesthesiology at the University Hospital Lowen in Belgium, the results of the study will not change the suggestion that only necessary operations should be performed during pregnancy. The results of the research will reassure women who will need surgery during pregnancy.

 

Low blood pressure may lower risk of dementia: Study

 

Although surgery and anesthesia are usually avoided during pregnancy, up to 1% of pregnant women may need it for unexpected health emergencies, such as appendicitis.

 

The study, published october 25 in the journal Anesthesia, involved more than 500 children between the ages of 2 and 18, and compared the neural development of children whose mothers had been given anesthesia due to a medical emergency before birth to children whose mothers did not experience such a situation.

 

The researchers examined behavioral control, psychosocial problems, and learning problems with psychological assessments.

 

The researchers found no statistically significant differences between the two groups of children. The results showed that the effects of anesthesia were exactly the same as those of other factors such as parental education and the mother's age at childbirth.

Exposure to anesthesia during emergency surgery was not associated with clinically meaningful impairments, mothers who underwent anesthesia with modern medications and techniques, making the findings relevant today, the study authors said in a journal news release.

 

Past analysis of animal studies showed that general anesthesia during pregnancy can damage the fetal brain and impair learning and memory.

 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration published a warning in 2016 that repeated or prolonged use of general anesthesia during the third trimester of pregnancy could lead to developmental disorders in the fetus.

 

Delaying surgery is sometimes not an option. In the case of appendicitis, for example, a delay in treatment can lead to miscarriage or sepsis for the mother.

India instructs VPN companies to collect and store data for five and hand over to the government.

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ

Brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad

-
 The government’s crackdown on PTI workers and supporters made it clear that they have decided to stop PTI’s Independence March at all cost. News reports say more than 1,000 PTO workers and activists have been arrested.  The government has called in the Rangers to maintain law and order in Islamabad and other major cities of the country, including Karachi. All entrances and exits to and from Islamabad were shut down, as was traffic between Lahore and the Twin Cities. The government has also instructed transport companies not to offer buses, cars, or vans to PTI workers. The manner in which Shahbaz and its allies are using state apparatus to prevent people from participating in the march is not acceptable.  The #WeAreComingKaptaan hashtag tells us that brutal crackdown by the government could not deter people from coming out of their homes and heading towards Islamabad.  Look what this government is doing spreading broken glasses on the road.

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two channels, it means it can double t
