The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists’ (ACOG’s) Practice Bulletin Number 40 on shoulder dystocia has two pseudo definitions: (1) failure of the shoulders to deliver spontaneously, putting both mother and fetus at risk for injury; and (2) failure of the delivery attendant to deliver the anterior shoulder by gentle downward traction, thus requiring additional obstetric maneuvers. Shoulder dystocia is caused by impaction of the anterior shoulder behind the pubic symphysis. ACOG does not define any cause for brachial plexus palsy; however, moderate or severe downward head traction is implied to be injurious. A downward tilted pelvis is the major cause of anterior shoulder arrest; it is usually relieved or prevented by McRoberts’ position. The mother then spontaneously delivers the shoulders. This is postural shoulder arrest and is not true shoulder dystocia (SD). Failure of the mother in full hip flexion to deliver the shoulders spontaneously is true shoulder dystocia. Various maneuvers are available to correct this situation; all supplement physiological delivery forces and movements that do not increase traction on the brachial plexus. Resuscitation of the child must be pre-planned. Brachial plexus injury is a traction injury caused by pulling the head and neck down and away from the shoulder. Nerves may be bruised, stretched, torn or ruptured; nerve roots may be avulsed from the spinal cord. SD is largely preventable by delivering all patients in McRoberts’ or equivalent position. Brachial Plexus Palsy (BPP) is avoidable by never applying head traction at any delivery and using maneuvers to deliver the shoulders that avoid any tension on the brachial plexus. © Copyright 2005 Pearblossom Private School, Inc.–Printing Division.

Eliza Jane’s lungs did not show an inflammatory response to medically justify a diagnosis of pneumonia. Pneumonia is a term that refers to inflammation and consolidation of the pulmonary parenchyma. Eliza Jane’s death resulted from an acute allergic reaction to amoxicillin, which caused severe hypotension (due to the leakage of significant amount of fluid outside the blood vessels), shock, and cardiac arrest. The autopsy revealed that she had pericardial and pleural effusion and ascites. In addition, her organ weights (lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys) were increased significantly. The weight of Eliza Jane’s lungs, heart, liver, and kidneys were 184%, 131%, 121%, and 146% of the expected average normal weight for her age, respectively. Also, her liver was significantly enlarged and the hepatocytes show micro-and macrovesicular steatosis. Amoxicillin has been known to induce immune mediated toxic changes in the liver. Eliza Jane suffered from an upper respiratory tract infection for about three weeks prior to her death on May 16, 2005. My investigation indicates that her respiratory infection was probably caused by Human Parvovirus B19 (HPVB19) infection. HPVB19 has been known to cause upper respiratory tract infection, encephalitis, and aplastic anemia in children and adults. Eliza Jane had non-specific microscopic lesions in the brain consisting of microglia and multineucleated giant cells. These lesions could be caused by HPVB19.","PeriodicalId":363866,"journal":{"name":"Medical Veritas: The Journal of Medical Truth","volume":"50 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127822955","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}

There are retinoid receptors in cells all over the body. They are in the nucleus of cells; many times a hormone or other messenger will give a signal to a receptor in the cell wall, which then conveys it through another protein called a G-protein; it is then carried out in the center of the cell. So they help translate, in genetic terms, the message that’s given to the cell at the edge of the cell—at the cell wall. Autism may be caused by inserting a G-alpha protein defect, the pertussis toxin found in the DTP vaccine, into genetically atrisk children. This toxin separates the G-alpha protein from retinoid receptors. Those most at risk report a family history of at least one parent with a pre-existing G-alpha protein defect, including night blindness. Natural Vitamin A may reconnect the retinoid receptors critical for vision, sensory perception, language processing and attention. Bethanechol mimics acetylcholine. It gives secretory function back to the gut in that it stimulates muscles around the pancreas and the gall bladder to get everything in the gastrointestinal tract like enzymes to improve food digestion. It gives normal movement of the gut wall, which helps in peristalsis especially if the individual is constipated. © Copyright 2005 Pearblossom Private School, Inc.–Publishing Division.
