" 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!
