A team of experienced journalists write non-bias news about major health news issues. A New light for moms struggling with postpartum depression has surfaced Tuesday. The Food and Drug Administration has finally approved its first drug aimed directly at treating this condition, called Brexanolone, or Zulresso.

Brexanolone is a miracle because it is a synthetic form of the hormone allopregnanolone, a progesterone derivative, in it. Typically the hormone increases during a women&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s pregnancy and then depletes rapidly after the woman gives birth, a primary reason for why most women develop postpartum depression.

&#226;&#8364;&#339;This can potentially transform women&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s lives and that of their families,&#226;&#8364;&#157; announced Dr. Steve Kanes, chief medical officer of Sage Therapeutics, the Cambridge, Mass., biopharmaceutical company that developed Brexanolone. &#226;&#8364;&#339;It&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s not just the mother who suffers when there&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s postpartum depression. It&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s the newborn. It&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s the other people in their family.&#226;&#8364;&#157;</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 Mar 2019 11:51:10 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Hangover Remedies</title><link>https://www.sundaymorninghero.com/</link><description>So, how exactly does the Sunday Morning Hero Kit A.K.A.

History of Ketamine

An organic chemistry professor working for Parke Davis Laboratories first synthesized ketamine in 1962. Within four short years, ketamine was being patented as an anesthetic for animals and humans. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration, under President Richard Nixon&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s administration, approved ketamine as an anesthetic for humans. It was quickly implemented during the Vietnam War as a field anesthetic for American soldiers. In addition, veterinarians began using ketamine as an anesthetic and sedative for domesticated and wild animals.

Ketamine&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s psychoactive properties made it a favorite of illegal drug users in the 1970s. A dissociative anesthetic causing hallucinations when taken in larger than normal doses, ketamine was used in alternative psychotherapies at the time, along with psilocybin and LSD. Both psilocybin and LSD have since been banned from psychotherapeutic use. However, it is still legal for doctors to use ketamine for non-anesthetic purposes.
How Does Ketamine Affect the Brain and Body?

What is ketamine used for?Ketamine blocks (antagonizes) NMDA receptors in the brain, and in high doses produces anesthetic, hallucinogenic and dissociative effects. When administered in low doses, ketamine exerts an antidepressant effect that is still not fully understood. Some recent studies seem to indicate ketamine may work as an antidepressant by inhibiting a part of the brain called the lateral habenula, or the &#226;&#8364;&#339;anti-reward&#226;&#8364;&#157; center of the brain.

Ketamine&#226;&#8364;&#8482;s anesthetic and analgesic properties result from antagonism of NMDA receptors preventing sensitization of certain neurons. The desensitization of neurons interferes with the transmission of pain signals coming from the spinal cord. Additionally, ketamine reduces nitric oxide production in the bloodstream. Nitric oxide is a gasotransmitter implicated in the perception of pain.

Ketamine also increases heart rate and blood pressure by stimulating the sympathetic nervous system. In about two in 10 people given ketamine, nausea and vomiting may occur. All individuals taking ketamine experience minor bronchodilation which increases airflow in and out of the lungs.</description><pubDate>Thu, 09 Apr 2020 18:42:10 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>https://www.macujomethod.com/</title><link>https://www.macujomethod.com/</link><description>This method involves the use of corrosive substances and may cause damage to your hair or/and scalp. If you have experienced an inflammatory reaction to a substance on your skin or scalp in the past, then you should not be using this method. However, if this is not the case and you are confident you will not experience an allergic reaction (after double checking the ingredient set of each product you will be using), then you should commence at your own risk while being cautiously prepared for using this method to detox your hair/scalp.  We are not recommending a method, we are just describing methods online users have claimed helped them to shield their privacy of their bodily fluids from overstepping authorities.</description><pubDate>Thu, 21 Apr 2022 14:18:33 GMT</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
