Current perception threshold increases during pregnancy but does not change across menstrual cycle.
It is well known that pregnancy reduces anesthetic requirements in response to various noxious stimuli. However, there have been no detailed reports concerning functional changes in nerve fibers during pregnancy. Using a Neurometer, a recently available commercial quantitative sensory monitor, we measured current perception threshold (CPT) values for three frequencies corresponding to the stimu...

Background: Early diagnosis of appendicitis is important during pregnancy. Unlike omentom, cecum and appendix are not likely to be displaced by the growing uterus, so the concept of position change of the appendix during pregnancy is questionable. Objective: To determine the anatomical location of appendix during pregnancy. Methods: In a prospective study from October 1995 to March 1999, 291 w...
متن کاملPreferences for symmetry in faces change across the menstrual cycle.
Symmetry in human male faces may be a cue to heritable fitness benefits and is found attractive. Preferences for facial masculinity, another proposed marker of genetic quality, have been found to vary in ways that may maximise evolutionary relevant benefits and masculinity is found to be of increased attractiveness at peak fertility across the menstrual cycle. Here we show that women prefer mor...
متن کاملDo women’s preferences for symmetry change across the menstrual cycle?
In many species, symmetry enhances physical attractiveness of the face and body. In humans, facial attractiveness is also enhanced by symmetrical decoration in the form of facial paint [Cárdenas, R. A., & Harris, L. J. (2006)]. According to the good-genes hypothesis [e.g., Thornhill, R., & Gangestad, S. W. (1999)], symmetry is preferred because it is associated with mate quality. According to t...
متن کاملStress during first pregnancy increases seizure threshold in adult male offspring
Objective(s): Stress induces many homeostatic aberrations which are followed by lifelong allostatic responses. Epilepsy is developed or influenced by different environmental factors, i.e. prenatal stress which makes many contradictory developmental changes in seizure threshold and intensity. We investigated the potential seizure response of the rat offspring to prenatal stress; the stres...
