We start prescribing antiviral drugs like acyclovir (Valtrex) to pregnant women with a history of herpes around 36 weeks to lower the chance of experiencing an outbreak close to birth. This lessens the amount of virus that is shed in the vaginal region close to labor.

If a mother arrives to Labor and Delivery during labor or for a prearranged induction, we will thoroughly inspect the perineum to check for lesions and do a speculum exam to check for cervical lesions.

In order to assist avoid the infant from coming into touch with any sores, we will advise a C-section if we notice anything suspect. An important risk factor for infection is contact with active lesions. The chance of passing it to her unborn child during birth is less than 1% if she had a history of herpes before becoming pregnant but no sores at the time of delivery.

Reducing shedding also lowers the likelihood that active lesions would be present during birth, which may enable us to forgo a C-section.

Which surgery do you think would have the most profound effect on digestion
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Removal of the pancreas would have the most severe effects on absorption because most chemical digestion occurs in the small intestine. Absorption requires the action of pancreatic enzymes, making the pancreas the most important.

Hope this helps! :))

1. How do your eyes work? What is the difference between focal vision and peripheral vision?
Olin [163]

Answer:

1 When light hits the retina (a light-sensitive layer of tissue at the back of the eye), special cells called photo receptors turn the light into electrical signals.

These electrical signals travel from the retina through the optic nerve to the brain. Then the brain turns the signals into the images you see.Focal vision is involved in examining and recognizing objects related with the macular area of the retina whereas peripheral vision is vision resulting in stimulation of the retina outside the macula. An example of peripheral vision would be looking straight ahead while also being able to see on the side by the eye.

Explanation:

2The pituitary gland is enveloped by dura and sits within the sella turcica of the sphenoid bone. The sella turcica is a saddle-shaped depression that surrounds the inferior, anterior, and posterior aspects of the pituitary.When a pituitary tumor pushes the optic chiasm, it causes visual loss in both eyes. In addition to the optic nerve, which brings vision from the eye to the brain, there are also several other nerves near the pituitary gland that travel to the eyes and help them move normally.
