A new study from the Norwegian Institute of Public Health (NIPH) shows that women who have bulimia in pregnancy have more symptoms of anxiety and depression as compared to pregnant women without eating disorders. They also have lower self-esteem and are more dissatisfied with life and their relationship with their partner.

The findings come from the world's first major population study of psychosocial factors in bulimia (bulimia nervosa) during pregnancy, which can have serious consequences for both mother and child.

There are a lot of things about death that don’t get talked about much; the topic is often dumped when it comes up in conversation.

We pause and wonder in silence. As Woody Allen said: "I'm not afraid to die. I just don't want to be there when it happens." Here’s a few bits of trivia to throw out in those moments.

Total ankle replacements (TAR), have been available in the U.S. for more than 30 years, and are continuing to advance through design evolutions. An article in the September 2008 issue of the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons reviews the diverse types of total ankle replacement implants available worldwide, and explains how design improvements are helping to bring relief to arthritis sufferers.

Surprisingly little is actually known about hiccups. The name itself is onomatopoeic, mimicking the abrupt rush of air into the lungs causes the epiglottis to close. In medicine, hiccups is known as synchronous diaphragmatic flutter (SDF), or singultus.

But, basically, when you hiccup, your diaphragm (and the muscles near to it) convulse, causing you to briefly gulp air. This causes the glottis to slam shut which makes the "hic" noise. Once the hiccups start, unless you can stop them right away they usually go on for what seems like forever. The record for longest bout of hiccups is 68 years(1).

Night terrors, also known as sleep terrors, sleep terror disorder, pavor nocturnus and DSM-IV AXIS I: 307.46 are a sleep disorder. Another sleep disorder known as Hallucinatory sleep paralysis (HSP) is often mistaken for night terrors because it has some similarities to night terrors.

Night terrors can run in families. They are not dangerous but what you do during the night terrors can be dangerous such as walking into objects or using kitchen appliances while not alert enough to do so safely. People have even been known to jump out of windows during their sleep.
