Dr. Sharon Karr, Dr. Jin Park, Dr. Annette Ansong, and Dr. Sarah Chambers are specialists in fetal cardiology with Pediatric Cardiology Associates, P.C. These services are offered at each of our office locations. Our highly skilled fetal cardiology physicians offer specialized evaluations and quality care for our families and patients. Today, most congenital heart defects can be diagnosed before birth. While it can be overwhelming for a family to receive the news that the babys heart is less than perfect, prenatal diagnosis allows valuable time to consider options, make informed choices and plan intelligently for the future. Recognizing the difficulty of taking in the complicated new information, we allow dedicated time with the fetal cardiologist to explain the findings and answer questions. Our physicians can also help the family decide if the cardiac findings would suggest that other diagnostic studies, such as amniocentesis, are indicated. Fetal heart anomalies can usually be diagnosed at about 16 to 18 weeks gestation, using fetal echocardiography. We also perform fetal echocardiograms at 12 and 14 weeks gestation for specific high-risk pregnancies, if appropriate after discussions with a fetal cardiologist. This safe, noninvasive ultrasound procedure enables the cardiologist to assess the structure, function and heart … Continue reading

The 3 Stages of Eczema and Their Causes

Posted: Published on August 6th, 2018

Eczema is a term that's often used to describe certain skin conditions. As research progresses, scientists are learning more and more about what actually causes it and the various stages of eczema. This has led researchers to split eczema into two group: atopic and non-atopic. Whether or not eczema is atopic or non-atopic depends on whether certain parts of the immune systemare overactive. There are a few subtle differences between the appearance of atopic and non-atopic eczema, but the two conditions generally look the same, depending on how long the rash has been present. Both types of rashes can cycle through the three different stages of eczema the longer they persist. The three stages of eczema are the acute stage, the subacute stage, and the chronic stage. Certain treatments work better during different stages of a rash. All three stages respond well totopical steroidsand antihistamines, like Benadryl and Zyrtec. If bacteria have invaded the skin during any stage, an oral antibiotic such ascephalexin or dicloxacillin is useful. Learn more, below, about each of the stages of eczema. "Acute" refers to an eczema rash that has just started. Some characteristics of the stage of acute eczema include: An over-the-counter hydrocortisone cream … Continue reading

Posted: Published on August 6th, 2018

Eczema comes and goes over time. It results in very dry and sensitive skin, and can be made worse by exposure to many different things, including allergens such as pet dander or dust mites. Other common triggers include soaps, detergents and lotions with heavy fragrances. Exposure to perfumes and cleaning products can also irritate eczema. For some people, weather changes (especially dry winter air) make eczema worse. Eczema is particularly common in infants, and an estimated 10 to 20 percent of children have eczema. It is not contagious and is often hereditary. About 60 percent of those with eczema will experience symptoms by age 1, and another 30 percent will experience symptoms by age 5. Children born into families that have a history of allergic diseases such as asthma or hay fever are at an increased risk for developing eczema. Eczema, also known as atopic dermatitis, is a chronic, non-contagious, inflammatory skin condition characterized by severe itching, redness, oozing, and scaly rashes. Allergy plays a role in selected patients with eczema. Eczema comes and goes over time. It results in very dry and sensitive skin, and can be made worse by exposure to many different things, including allergens such as … Continue reading

Paraventricular nucleus of hypothalamus – Wikipedia

Posted: Published on August 6th, 2018

The paraventricular nucleus (PVN, PVA, or PVH) is a nucleus in the hypothalamus.[1] It is a group of neurons that can be activated by physiological changes including stress. Many PVN neurons project directly to the posterior pituitary where they release oxytocin into the general circulation. While the supraoptic nucleus releases vasopressin. Both the PVN and the supraoptic nucleus do produce small amounts of the other hormone, ADH and Oxytocin respectively. Other PVN neurons control various anterior pituitary functions, while still others directly regulate appetite and autonomic functions in the brainstem and spinal cord. The paraventricular nucleus lies adjacent to the third ventricle. It lies within the periventricular zone and is not to be confused with the periventricular nucleus, which occupies a more medial position, beneath the third ventricle. The PVN is highly vascularised and is protected by the bloodbrain barrier, although its neuroendocrine cells extend to sites (in the median eminence and in the posterior pituitary) beyond the bloodbrain barrier. The PVN contains magnocellular neurosecretory cells whose axons extend into the posterior pituitary, parvocellular neurosecretory (neuroendocrine) cells that project to the median eminence, and several populations of peptide-containing cells that project to many different brain regions including parvocellular preautonomic cells … Continue reading

Ulcerative Colitis Diet Plan: 19 Foods to Avoid

Posted: Published on August 6th, 2018

What is ulcerative colitis? Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic condition that causes inflammation of the large intestine (colon) and the rectum and sores (ulcers) on the inner lining of the large intestine. Ulcerative colitis is thought to be an autoimmune disease, that is, one where the body attacks itself. It is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is not the same as Crohn's disease, another type of IBD, which can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract whereas ulcerative colitis only affects the colon and rectum. It is also not the same as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), which affects how the colon functions and does not cause inflammation. Ulcerative colitis is estimated to affect nearly 600,000 Americans, and it affects males slightly more often than females. The disease is most commonly diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 40. What causes ulcerative colitis? The cause of ulcerative colitis is unknown but it is believed to be caused by a combination of several factors including an overactive immune system, genetics, and the environment. Physical or emotional stress, and certain foods do not cause ulcerative colitis, however, they may trigger symptoms in a person who has ulcerative colitis. Treatments … Continue reading
