Love really is like a drug :)


Hi everyone!

Today I will comment on an article that I found very interesting and pretty.The name of this article is "Love is like a drug really."Well, the article says that love partially blocks the pain in the same manner in which it operates an opioid analgesic and other illicit drugs.

This is link to visit it

http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2010/oct/13/love-drug-pain-relief-cocaine

A team of neuroscientists investigaron on 15 American students who admitted to being in the passionate early stages of a relationship showed that feelings for their partner reduced intense pain by 12% and moderate pain by 45%.

The study consisted in showing eight women and seven men a photo of their partners, while applied dose of pain in your hands with hot probes. At the same time the students had their brains connected to a scanner. After the test, students rated the intensity of pain they felt.

The test results revealed that sentimmientos that picture was generated with their partners acted as a potent analgesic. In addition, brain scans showed that these feelings cause more brain activity than it has produced drugs such as morphine and cocaine.

This study also assessed whether the distraction of students is decreasing pain, for this was given as a simple mental tasks such as naming sports that do not involve a ball.The brain scans showed that the love and distraction are used for reduce pain although they act in different pathways in the brain

From my point of view, I think this study is very important and is reflected in our professional future, and we know the company by a partner during the childbirth significantly reduces the pain of the mother, which could be a theory to support this beautiful and important study.

Hope you enjoyed it as much as me.
Take care!

" Stress"


Hi everyone!
Today I will comment about the stress.
In our society it is very common to find people who go through a state of stress, this can be reflected mainly in people who serve in jobs that generate the most stress. For example, people who work in hospitals or restaurant jajajajaja.
In hospitals, we can find different stress situations in patients and health professionals.
Considering the general causes of stress include: hard work, personal or family problems, fights, discussions, indeed, any factor that may influence physical and emotional in the people. These causes produce symptoms that are identifiable in people with stress. Symptoms can be expressed in anxiety, depression, aggression, sleep disturbances, etc. and in cases where the stress is too high it can generate a disease that has a medical license as a solution or treatment with a psychiatrist or psychologist.
Stress can lead to significant consequences, which can worsen mood of the people. For example, among the most important consequences of stress are changes in the gastrointestinal, cardiovascular and immune systems.
In our country, the rates are very high stress. This can be reflected in that 30% of medical licenses in Chile are working stress. Furthermore, the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified this disease as the "epidemic of the century".

From my point of view I think stress is a very common disease especially in young people and adults, because they are constantly subjected to much study or work. This has shown me my college life. But I think we should face life with humor and joy to avoid being subjected to stress. In conclusion: enjoy life!!

See you soon
Bye!

" Levonorgestrel"


Hello again!
Today I will comment on the talk of Dr. Valenzuela made the day last Thursday. He talked on "Postovulatory effects of Levonorgestrel in Emergency Contraception".
In my opinion, the presentation was very interesting and especially important for our future as midwifery.

Well, in the principle of the presentation did not understand much because I arrived late and was difficult to insert myself into what Dr. Valenzuela said, but after a moment I understood the presentation. The presentation was quite clear and I could integrate some knowledge about "levonorgestrel" that I did not have. For example that "Levonorgestrel" is the main compound of emergency contraception, which in Chile is known as the " the pill of the after day".

In the presentation Dr. Valenzuela told us that "Levonorgestrel" is not an abortive , as its effects are preovulatory.
The administration of the pill must be between 0 and 24 hours after intercourse or maximum 5 days after intercourse. However, their effects decrease if consumption is later.

Well, I understand "abortion" to premature termination of a process of gestation. I also know that there are different types of abortion including spontaneous and induced abortion.
You can define as ectopic pregnancy to a fetus begins to develop in tissue other than the uterine wall either in the fallopian tube, ovarian or cervical canal.
According to the difference between anticonceptive and contraconceptive , I think that mean the same as both terms are aimed at the prevention of pregnancy.

In short, my opion about whether or not I supported the use of levonorgestrel I think it depends on the ethics and the concept of life of each person. Therefore the use of this drug is the criterion of who would use it.
see you soon
Bye!

"Horus"


Hello!
In this blog will write about a free theme, I chose to talk about one of my favorite bands. They are "Horus." Subjectively is my favorite because the band are some very dear friends jajajajaja.

"Horus" is a band of our country that was created seven years ago. This band was born in the commune of Peñaflor, in the city of Santiago.
After an intense search for his own musical identity, in 2007 adopted a musical style strongly influenced by the Funk / Rock. In the same year the band participated in the second festival of bands "Jumbo Plug and Play" where they were semifinalists to level of the whole country. The current members of this band are 5. Among them is Nicolas Diaz (vocals), Cristobal Olate (guitar), Diego Riquelme (guitar), Eduardo Ortiz (drums) and Javier Meneses (bass).
Currently the band is constantly involved in gigs and musical events.
From my point of view, I consider that "Horus" is a very interesting band. I have witnessed several musical events, and each time I see me produce feelings of fun and motivation to do many things. I think that happens to most people who listen, because in the shows of "Horus" all the people dance and jump without stopping until everything ends.
The last event they had was last Saturday at the theater "Cariola" street San Diego. A lot of people attended this event even though the entrance was a bit expensive.
Currently "Horus" has recorded most of their songs and are waiting for a record label to support it to record their first album.

I hope you like it!
See ya!
kisses

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland


Hello everyone!

I will comment on this blog about my favorite book. My favorite book is Alice in Wonderland. The author of this book is Lewis Carroll.
Well, this book became my favorite book because it tells the story of a girl who lives several adventures in a strange place with different characters that make the book something really fun and interesting.
I read this book when I was 12 years and then I reread it in March before the premiere of the movie.
This book came to my hands on the recommendation of a friend. When I finished reading it, I recommended it to all my friends and family and even offered them to my cousin of 15 years for him to read.
Well, the truth is that this book does not teach concepts unlike many others, but provides too much fun and imagination. In my opinion "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" increases creativity from anyone to read it.
The plot developed in this book is about a girl who has an amazing imagination that creates many strange things that happen on an adventure. At the end of the book all the product of a dream of Alice.
She was in the park with his sister, Alicia suddenly fell into a deep sleep. In his dream he saw a white rabbit and decided to follow him, suddenly came to a den and began his intense adventure.

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" is a really interesting book, I think it was very important in the development of my adolescence.
I sincerely recommend reading it, because it is a book for all ages.

Blogs :)

Hi everybody!
Today is my last day writing blogs and guess what? This blog is about blogs and how was my experience with them.
Well, from my point of view, the methodological strategy of blogs is very good, because it is participatory and entertaining for students. Besides, it is fast and easy and you can add pictures, it you can not do when writing in a copybook.
With blogs I've learned enough vocabulary and grammar rules. However, the topics covered are sometimes a bit boring jajajaja, I would like to comment on things less related to the career or health issues

My experience with blogging has been good and bad. Good because it is very entertaining and quick to use the computer for homework and bad because sometimes I not have enough creativity to write about different topics.
I think the blogs of my classmates are very good and entertaining to read, for example when we had to write a story, Pia Suarez wrote a very entertaining that for me was pleasant reading. Also when we read the other blogs we know they will do our classmates in the future.

Well, in conclusion, my experience with blogs has been very helpful and pleasant, because the way of learning English in this way is very entertaining.

Thanks!

See you next semester

Well, once finished my career as a midwife, I want to work in the Hospital's Penaflor or Talgante Hospital.
One reason I like working in this hospitals is because they are close to my home and also because they are very nice. Both belong to the public health care system, which is where I want to develop as a professional.

I would like to work in childbirth. If so would have important resposalibilidades such as teaching to the expectant mother throughout this process and the first care that be given to your baby.
Regarding the schedule, I would like to work in comfortable times, the truth is that I never liked the theme shifts.
I would like to work from Monday to Friday, to rest over the weekend and share with my family.

These hospitals are very nice and attends for people who come from different localities as "Isla de Maipo", "El Monte", "The Paico" etc.
Most of these people live in the countryside, therefore are much more tender and loving. What generates these hospitals maintain a friendly atmosphere between all its component . This is the biggest motivation for wanting to work in these hospitals, which makes my ideal job.
