Types of Congenital Heart Defects

Thrombocytopenia is a bleeding disorder. People with the condition usually have fewer platelets in the blood than those without thrombocytopenia. Platelets are a type of blood cell that the marrow produces. They help stop bleeding by helping with blood clotting. When a person has a low platelet count, their blood may have issues with clotting, which may cause spontaneous and internal bleeding, rashes, and bruising. In this article, we look at common causes of thrombocytopenia, lifestyle risk factors, symptoms, treatment options, and whether the condition is preventable. Three factors can lead to a low platelet count. Each potential cause of thrombocytopenia may therefore fall under one of three areas : The body not making enough platelets A person's body might not create enough platelets if stem cells in the bone marrow become damaged. It is the stem cells that eventually develop into platelets. The following factors can cause stem cells to become damaged and platelet production to...

James S. Brady Press Briefing Room 12:23 P.M. EST MS. PSAKI:  Hi, everyone.  Okay.  I just have two items for all of you at the top.  As you all saw, today the President delivered remarks on his administration's work to increase the supply of semiconductors, boost manufacturing in America, and rebuild our supply chains here at home.  These are steps that are going to help slow price increases, create good-paying manufacturing and construction jobs across the country, and strengthen our economy. For three decades, America has lost semiconductor manufacturing to countries like China, but since President Biden took office that tide has turned.  He's prioritized investing in critical supply chains like chips, and set out a clear plan to do so with his executive order.  And he brought together labor and business to get it done. In doing so, we've catalyzed the industry's outlook and gave them conf...

Nicole Xu for The Boston Globe In March 2018, Mississippi enacted legislation banning abortions, with rare exceptions, after 15 weeks. In December 2021, the US Supreme Court heard arguments in a case stemming from that law and questioning the constitutionality of any legislation prohibiting abortions before a fetus is "viable" at 24 weeks, the statutory standard set by Roe v. Wade and upheld many times over the subsequent five decades. While the Court won't rule until early summer, the political and legal commentariat was swift with its opinion: the justices appeared poised to permit the Mississippi law, clearing the way for similar restrictions across the country. Whether or not Roe is also overturned, the prospect of such restrictive laws almost ensures that the debate over a woman's right to choose moves (back) into the dithering chambers of power — courts and legislatures. For several decades now, that debate has raged and simmered on sidewalks and in churches, a ...

Hot flashes, mood swings and other signs of menopause can cause women to quit their jobs. Here's how some handle symptoms while working. Menopause — and the years leading up to it — can disrupt women's lives in so many ways, including, new findings suggest, by upending their livelihoods. A British survey of 2,000 women between the ages of 45 and 67 reported last week that one in four women experiencing symptoms of menopause were unhappy in their jobs because of a lack of support, and that nearly one in five were considering quitting because of it. These concerns are probably shared by women around the globe. Each year, an estimated 1.3 million U.S. women, typically those in their early 50s, enter menopause — meaning that they have not had a menstrual period for at least 12 months. Millions more each year begin perimenopause, the period before menopause when a woman's body begins producing less estrogen. It is during perimenopause — which can last for four to eight years — t...
