After reading part of @congenitaldisease book and currently in the midst of listening to her podcast, I'm in the depths of Reddit and Wiki looking at Australia's unsolved child murders.

I can't get enough of True Crime, the pages on here, documentaries, not to mention morbidology.com . But there is a large group that draw concern. Those that sexualise serial killers, mass shooters and murderers. It's not okay, no. No. You need to stop. Talk to someone, reduce your input. It's unhealthy and deeply inconsiderate of those personally affected by such topics. Please, take my words as a peaceful message of truth. It is okay to have an interest and almost fascination, but not okay to idolise and respect.

Research shows how infection can pass from mother to baby

Research shows how infection can pass from mother to baby

Us researchers devised a cell-based model of the human placenta that could help explain how pathogens that cause birth defects originating from Zika virus cross from mother to the unborn child. The model can be used to experiment different biological factors to see what might allow an infectious agent to get through the placental barrier to the foetus. “With our new model in the research toolkit,…

What? President blames low Democrat voter turnout on ‘congenital disease’

What? President blames low Democrat voter turnout on ‘congenital disease’

It’s certainly not the first time that the president has blamed cynicism for low voter turnout, which could be devastating to the Democrats in the midterm elections. President Obama took the rhetoric a bizarre step further today at a Manhattan fundraiser, crediting low voter turnout to — get this — “congenital disease.”

Pres Obama…

Spina Bifida is a congenital disorder characterized by the incomplete development of the spina cord and surrounding membranes. There are different types of spina bifida: occulta, meningocele and myelomeningocele. The back may form dimples in the affected area, or cutaneous lesions such as the one shown above. Spina bifida is usually caused by lack of folic acid during fetal development. Vitamin B12 aids in the feotal nervous system development.

Treatment of spina bifida depends on the severity of the disorder. Spina bifida occulta may not require treatment; any other types require prenatal surgery and ongoing treatment for issues resulting in the disorder. in cases of a breech birth, cesarean section is needed.

We have all kinds of defects now, ranging from congenital heart disease to severe physical abnormalities, both in numbers you cannot imagine. We have so many cases of babies with multiple system defects in one baby. We just had one baby with central nervous system problems, skeletal defects, and heart abnormalities. This is common in Fallujah today. There are not even medical terms to describe some of these conditions because we've never seen them until now. So when I describe it, all I can do is describe the physical defects, but am unable to provide a medical term.

Brief Overview of Congenital Disease

The term congenital disease is concerned with cardiac defects in newly born babies. It results due to failure of the structure of heart and blood vessels in the human body. Babies suffering from this kind of disease will face hassles in blood flow from defective blood vessels. It forces the flow of impure blood in the heart and puts an abnormal strain on it. Congenital disease results in an opening in the wall of the heart. It forms a bridge between two arteries near the region of heart. These arteries normally remain separate. This disease is seen as a common birth defect, it can be diagnosed when the baby is still in the uterus. During the fifth month of pre delivery ultrasound screening is done. During the fifth month pregnancy can become problematic due to slow heart development of the fetus. Families having a history of congenital disease also pass it to forthcoming generations as a hereditary defect. The diagnosis of congenital heart disease should be done within a few days after the birth of the baby. The major symptom of this disease in babies is that it has a bluish tinge moreover the baby is not able to breath in a normal way. There are some infections that may cause the same symptoms of congenital heart disease. The doctors of the baby should be careful in eliminating them. It causes difficulties in normal cardiac functions in the baby’s body. Small or common congenital defects are not found during a later period. Whenever a doctor suspects a cardiovascular trouble during a physical examination then the patient will undergo a test echocardiogram or MRI to create an image of the heart. It will also produce an image of heart abnormalities in the heartbeat. Doctors can also use X rays to determine the condition of lungs and heart of the patient during a congenital disease.
