On April 27-28, 2022, the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) hosted a workshop to examine the effects of chemical and non-chemical stressors on maternal and fetal adverse health outcomes, discuss diseases specific to women and individuals assigned female at birth, and to assess the role of racial and ethnic disparities in environmental exposures. The concepts of early and lifetime exposures and the correlation between socioeconomic status, hazardous exposures, and communities of color were explored with a focus on the synergistic impacts on women’s health. Current research and knowledge gaps in the context of environmental exposures and women’s reproductive health disparities were examined. This Research Topic reflects the work presented at the NIEHS 2-day workshop or work suggesting critical ways to advance environmental health disparities and women’s reproductive health research, or environmental health equity in public health and clinical practice.
Learn how to navigate your life with endometriosis in this essential and hopeful guide--including tools and strategies to gain a deeper understanding of your body and manage chronic pain through diet, movement, stress management, and more. Endometriosis isn’t just about having “painful periods.” It can be a complex, debilitating, and all-encompassing condition that impacts one’s mental health, relationships, and career.

"The Reproduction of Inequality examines women's work on their bodies during pregnancy and postpartum; while mothers typically focus on the health benefits of their choices about breastfeeding or prenatal diet and exercise, these practices also display and perpetuate status inequalities from one generation to the next"--
Research on the relationship between health and the environment in a postgenomic context is increasingly aimed at understanding the various exposures as a whole, simultaneously taking into account data pertaining to the biology of organisms and the physical and social environment. Exposome research is a paradigmatic case of this new trend in environmental health studies. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach focusing on the conceptual, epistemological, and sociological reflections in the latest research on environmental and social determinants of health and disease. It offers a combination of theoretical and practical approaches and the authors are scholars from a multidisciplinary background (epidemiology, geography, philosophy of medicine and biology, sociology). Crucially, the book balances the benefit and cost of the integration of biological and social factors when modelling aetiology of disease.
Liberal media outlets vilify the anti-vaccine movement but are silent on adverse vaccine effects. That's not accidental. That's intentional. The war against the natural health movement is a polarizing battle between ideologies. Is organic superior to pesticide and GMO based foods? Is veganism better than eating meat? Are dietary supplements a waste of money? Is bottled water better than tap water? Do cell phones cause cancer? Can you overcome infertility by using natural health products? Can you negate electromagnetic pollution by using natural health products? Why is the overall health of the global population getting worse? You'll find the answers to all of these questions in Part V.

Distance learning and remote learning have been developing options within the eLearning and talent training realms for over two decades, yet distance learning has become a significant reality within the past few months, especially as the COVID-19 pandemic has forever impacted the K-12, higher education, and adult training and talent development workforce solutions. Within the rapid shift into remote and distance learning environments, the curricular design and instructional design are understood as necessary. However, there is a need to understand aspects around social learning within eLearning environments. It is important to understand the opportunity of moving towards transformative socia...
This open access book sets out the stress-system model for functional somatic symptoms in children and adolescents. The book begins by exploring the initial encounter between the paediatrician, child, and family, moves through the assessment process, including the formulation and the treatment contract, and then describes the various forms of treatment that are designed to settle the child’s dysregulated stress system. This approach both provides a new understanding of how such symptoms emerge – typically, through a history of recurrent or chronic stress, either physical or psychological – and points the way to effective assessment, management, and treatment that put the child (and family) back on the road to health and well-being.
