foetus

Vous écoutez le troisième épisode de Gloria Mama, bienvenue à vous !

Je vous propose aujourd’hui de rencontrer Marie-Hélène, sage-femme à Paris. Nous abordons ensemble le sujet dont « on-ne-doit-pas-prononcer-le-nom », je veux parler des fausses couches. Par pudeur ou parce que ça reste tout de même encore un peu tabou, c’est un sujet dont on ne parle pas assez et qui pourtant concerne un très grand nombre de femmes. On estime qu’il y a en France 200 000 fausses couches chaque année et qu’une femme sur quatre en vivra au moins une dans sa vie. 

Même si de plus en plus de femmes, dont des célébrités ou des politiques, commencent à l’évoquer ouvertement, il est important d’en parler toujours plus, à voix haute et haute voix, pour atténuer peut-être le sentiment de solitude qui y est associé.

Dans cet épisode, on parle de ce qu’est une fausse couche et de ce qui se passe. De la manière d’accompagner au mieux une femme, un couple, qui traversent cette épreuve. Des phrases « bateau » qu’on entend trop souvent et qui ne remontent pas du tout le moral mais renforcent au contraire un sentiment d’incompréhension et de solitude. 

On parle de la fausse couche du point de vue de la femme qui la vit dans son corps, de son compagnon mais aussi des soignants.

Une chose est sûre, la prise en charge de la fausse couche par les soignants ne peut pas être que médicale et sanitaire. Elle soit aussi être pyschologique pour permettre à la femme et au couple d’envisager une future grossesse de manière sereine. 200 000 fausses couches chaque année, c’est avant tout 200 000 histoires personnelles qui nécessitent un suivi personnalisé et non standardisé.

Je vous souhaite une bonne écoute !

Join us at the first combined educational event in Timonium, MD on June 21, 2019 presented in collaboration between Winn Feline Foundation (Winn), The International Cat Association (TICA) and the Cat Fanciers' Association (CFA).

This podcast is presented by Dr. Jody Gookin, a distinguished professor at North Carolina State University. The first part of the presentation discusses bacterial causes, in particular E. coli, of diarrhea and mortality in kittens. The latter half of her talk covers information about the parasite, Tritrichomonas foetus, that causes large bowel diarrhea in kittens and cats. Dr. Gookin covers information about her research on these significant causes of diarrhea in cats.

Please join Winn Feline Foundation's 40th Annual Symposium on June 28th, 2018 with our speaker, Katie Tolbert, DVM, PhD, DACVIM from the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.

Trichomonosis is a rapidly emerging infectious disease of cats that is caused by the parasite, Tritrichomonas foetus. Unfortunately, little is understood about how this parasite causes disease and what methods can be used to treat it. Dr. Tolbert will discuss why infectious diarrhea such as that caused by T. foetusis such a concern for catteries and shelters. She will also share the results of her Winn-sponsored research investigating therapies for the treatment gastrointestinal ulceration in cats.

Hosts: Ed Brown, Dr. Shayne Joseph, Penny Dumsday, Lucas Randall, Dr. Mick Vagg.

The Ig Nobel Prizes honour achievements that first make us laugh, then make us think. We take a look at this year’s winners: from cats in jars to disgusting cheese!

You can watch the award ceremony here.

00:01:30 The Physics Prize was awarded to French scientist Marc-Antoine Fardin, "for using fluid dynamics to probe the question 'Can a Cat Be Both a Solid and a Liquid?'"

00:06:20 The Peace Prize went to four doctors and one patient from Switzerland, Canada, The Netherlands and the USA "for demonstrating that regular playing of a didgeridoo is an effective treatment for obstructive sleep apnoea and snoring".

00:10:19 The Economics Prize was presented to Australian Nancy Greer and American Matthew Rockloff "for their experiments to see how contact with a live crocodile affects a person's willingness to gamble".

00:17:56 The Anatomy Prize was won by James Heathcote from the UK, for his medical research study "Why Do Old Men Have Big Ears?"

00:20:59 The Biology Prize went to two scientists from Japan, one from Brazil, and one from Switzerland "for their discovery of a female penis, and a male vagina, in a cave insect".

00:25:27 The Fluid Dynamics Prize was awarded to South Korean Jiwon Han, "for studying the dynamics of liquid-sloshing, to learn what happens when a person walks backwards while carrying a cup of coffee".

00:29:53 The Nutrition Prize was presented to three scientists from Brazil, Canada, and Spain "for the first scientific report of human blood in the diet of the hairy-legged vampire bat".

00:34:46 The Medicine Prize went to five scientists from France and the UK "for using advanced brain-scanning technology to measure the extent to which some people are disgusted by cheese".

00:40:40 The Cognition Prize was awarded to four psychologists from Italy, Spain, and the UK "for demonstrating that many identical twins cannot tell themselves apart visually".

00:45:00 The Obstetrics Prize went to a team from Spain "for showing that a developing human fetus responds more strongly to music that is played electromechanically inside the mother's vagina than to music that is played electromechanically on the mother's belly".

In this episode, we talk about mental health, suicidality and abortion. If you are triggered, please seek the support of caring people. In Australia, you could call Lifeline on 13 11 14.

While Katie was at university, she became pregnant. Having children is something that Katie takes very seriously. It is not something to undertake lightly.

Katie carefully considered all her options, thought them through, discussed them with appropriate people, and came to the conclusion that an abortion was the best choice for both her and for the potential life of the foetus. She was simply not the right person, at that time, to raise a child.

Katie, a community lawyer and co-host of the Progressive Podcast Australia (https://progressivepodcastaustralia.com), is deeply committed to the values of justice and compassion.

In this episode, we talk about how a person who is supportive of early abortion and a person who is opposed to early abortion may, in fact, hold very similar values.

In issues that are potentially very polarising, we talk about the importance of seeking a balance of emotions and reasoning, of listening to people who do not share the same beliefs as us, and of acknowledging the truth, or validating, of experiences of people from all perspectives.  

Dr. Vicki Thayer, Executive Director of Winn Feline Foundation, interviews Dr. Jody Gookin of North Carolina State University about her recently funded 2016 research project (W16-053), Efficacy of a new treatment for cats with ronidazole-resistant Tritrichomonas foetus infection. 

Tritrichomonas foetus (TF) is a parasitic infection that causes foul relapsing bouts of diarrhea in cats from every corner of the world. Only the drug ronidazole has been identified as effective in treating TF infection but 36% of cats fail to clinically benefit from the drug and others suffer from drug toxicity. An alternative drug has been identified that is 10 times more effective than ronidazole at killing feline TF. The aim of this study is to examine the effectiveness and safety of this alternative drug for treatment of cats with TF infection and diarrhea and that failed prior treatment with ronidazole.

Winn Feline Foundation's Executive Director, Dr. Vicki Thayer, interviews a currently funded researcher, Dr. Katie Tolbert of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville, about a protozoal organism called Tritrichomonas foetus that causes chronic diarrhea in cats. 

Dr. Tolbert describes her two ongoing studies on this disease and how this research might provide answers on diagnosing and possibly preventing this frustrating condition in cats.

She also follows up with her plans for future research she believes would be valuable for improving cat's lives and she hopes that Winn will be able to fund in future years.

The interview was conducted after Dr. Tolbert spoke at the American Animal Hospital Conference in Austin, TX for the Winn Feline Foundation sponsored CE track.

On today's show I talk to musician Christian Gibbs. Originally from San Diego, Christian has had a pretty varied musical career. He's played lead guitar in the UK band Modern English (who you might remember for their hit "I Melt With You"), played with J.G. Thirlwell's band Foetus, fronted the rock trio Morning Glories, as well as the chamber-rock group Lucinda Black Bear. While Christian has seen a lot of tragedy in his life, he's never allowed it to conquer him, and his latest album - C. Gibbs Sings Motherwell Johnston - is pretty great.
