  8. Birth Defects and the Toxic Legacy of War in Iraq

    Kali Rubaii 09.22.2020

    "Depleted uranium is one of the most widely discussed contaminants in relation to birth defects. The World Health Organization released a report in 2003 entitled 'Potential Impact of Conflict on Health in Iraq,' which suggested that depleted uranium might be related to reports of increased #cancers, birth defects, reproductive health problems and renal diseases in the Iraqi population since 2003.
    US bases in Iraq used burn pits to incinerate everything from computers to tires in large open-air pits that burned day and night for years.

    "International activists accused the US Department of Defense of negligence for using a weapon in Iraq that distributes toxic waste to where civilians live, grow food and draw water. Studies of American veterans hit by friendly fire with depleted uranium shrapnel have also demonstrated links between #uranium and perturbations in reproductive hormones, including #infertility."

  9. Happy #PharmPhriday!

    #Hormones can be confusing, so let’s break down some of their functions, starting with progesterone. One important role is maintaining a pregnancy (hence why #mifepristone, a progesterone blocker, is an #abortion drug).

    #Progesterone can be administered intramuscularly (in oil, PIO) or vaginally; oral has been shown to be less effective.

    If you don’t want a daily 💉🍑 through 1st trimester, talk to your doc about vaginal progesterone! #OBGynodon #Fertility #Infertility #IVF
