Syndrome be it of any type leads to various physical and mental disabilities. Few Syndromes are genetic however others are a result of a constant development in mental stress when left untreated leads to serious mental health issues. There is no cure, only the quality of life can be improved by taking extra care and training the individual to perform daily essential activities. The real cause of the development of any type of Syndrome is caused due to abnormal cell divisions. Though most types of Syndromes are cured and are researched upon to a very large extent one such Syndrome is still trying to find its place in terms of better understanding by the Courts and most importantly by the society we live in.","PeriodicalId":192226,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health eJournal","volume":"363 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134355876","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The nonrefundable federal CDCC is available to working families with children younger than 13 years old in all states, and nearly half of states supplement the federal credit with their own child care credits. The Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act expanded the federal CDCC in 2003, which led to differential increases in CDCC generosity across states and family sizes. I document CDCC eligibility and expenditures over time and across income and demographic groups. Using data from the March Current Population Survey, I find that a 10 percent increase in CDCC benefits increases annual paid child care participation by 4–5 percent among households with children younger than 13 years old. I also find that CDCC benefits increase labor supply among married mothers. Increases in labor supply among married mothers with very young children suggest that CDCC benefits may generate long-run earnings gains.","PeriodicalId":192226,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health eJournal","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-08-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120963489","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Historians and sociologists often explain this increase by noting that public sentiment called for widespread involuntary institutionalization to avoid the supposed threat of insanity to social well-being. However, this explanation neglects the increased role of rent-seeking within psychiatry and the broader medical field over the same period. In this paper, we argue that increased political influence from mental healthcare providers contributed significantly to the rise in institutionalization. We test our claim empirically by using the taxonomy of medical regulations from 1870 to 1910, as well as primary sources documenting rates of insanity at the state level. Our findings provide an alternative explanation for the historical rise in institutionalization within the US.","PeriodicalId":192226,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122980764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea of a blood child is so deeply rooted in our society that there are technological marvels or treatments developed by humans to solve the problem of infertility. One such technological marvel is Surrogacy, an arrangement in which a woman bears the child of other persons for nine months in her womb. Commercial gestational surrogacy refers to an arrangement when \"the egg of the adoptive mother or an egg donor is fertilized with the sperm of the father-to-be or an anonymous sperm donor in a laboratory to produce an embryo. This embryo is then transferred into the uterus of the surrogate\" (Majumdar 3) this arrangement rejects the popular taboo of sexual relations between the father-to-be and the surrogate and makes it an asexual mode of reproduction. In a popular notion, it is also linked as paid sex work because of the potential intimacy involved with pregnancy. In India, commercial gestational surrogacy is a booming business and becoming part of the international reproductive tourism. Due to the availability of economical treatment options and low-priced surrogates in the country because of the massive supply of Indian surrogates. It serves as a major source of income for the women who belong from the underprivileged section of the society and increases their standard of living. A country like India presents a welcoming outlook towards the surrogates, who bring about happiness in the lives of women longing motherhood. But commercial gestational surrogacy is an awful mechanism that traps women with economic incentives. Commercial surrogacy endangers women belonging from the underprivileged section of society as it firstly, puts unfair societal pressures on already vulnerable women, and secondly, their poverty and illiteracy are used as a mechanism of deceiving them.","PeriodicalId":192226,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health eJournal","volume":"44 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133970856","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One of the great feelings for every woman is begin a Mother, but maternal period is very much susceptible for health issues. Some old illnesses may increases or new illnesses can start during this period. Recently Indian health status has improved. Child mortality rates and maternal mortality are declined in current scenario but when Indian situation is compared with other developed countries it is not so good. Advance in data analytics has become one of the driving forces in multiple fields to turn them into technology dependent ones. One of the fields where this impact is still at lower level is maternal health care. There is a need to analyze the symptoms, take steps towards the precautions and dealing with the complication which women fights during this period.

Our empirical evidence is based on Nepal, which experienced a ten year long civil conflict of varying intensity. We exploit that villages affected by the conflict had the same trend in fertility as non-affected villages prior to the onset of conflict and employ a difference-in-differences estimator. We find that women in affected villages increased their actual and desired fertility during the conflict by 22 percent, while child height-for-age declined by 11 to 13 percent. Supporting evidence suggests that the temporary fertility increase was the main pathway leading to reduced child height, as opposed to direct impacts of the conflict.","PeriodicalId":192226,"journal":{"name":"Women & Health eJournal","volume":"305 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124349099","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
