N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is a precursor to reduced glutathione, which appears to play a crucial role in COVID-19. According to an April 2020 literature analysis, glutathione deficiency may be associated with COVID-19 severity, leading the author to conculde that NAC maybe useful both for its prevention and treatment.

Zinc prevents viral replication inside your cells, but is poorly absorbed.

Zinc deficiency impairs immune function.

Preliminary research found COVID-19 patients with plasma zinc levels below 50 mcg/dl at admission had a 2.3 times greater risk of in-hospital death than those with a zinc level of 50 mcg/dl or higher..

Breast ultrasound screening.

Mammogram is the gold standard for breast cancer detection, however it is not always accurate in women with dense breasts. Also the benefits of a mammogram start to outweigh the risks from it with ages 50 and above. Patients below the age of 35 are not recommended for screening mammogram.

Breast self examinations also have its own limitations and usually detect palpable masses which are large.

This is where breast ultrasound screening comes into its own and provides low cost examinations, more readily accessible and no radiation.

Let women decide!

Traditionally there has been a practice of restricting food and fluid to pregnant moms during pregnancy. Research has shown that many women in labor do not feel like eating, but for others the notion of long hours without any food or drink can be anxiety provoking. Previously eating and drinking during labour was considered dangerous and many maternity units operated policies of no eating or drinking during labour, regardless of women's preferences. This was largely due to concerns about possibly fatal damage to the lungs where particles of regurgitated food are inhaled under general anaesthetic during Caesarean sections, but today, caesarean sections are most often performed using regional anesthesia and safer, more modern general anesthesia techniques reduce the risk of aspiration. Women on food and fluid restrictions often do receive ice chips and/or intravenous (IV) fluids but IV fluids themselves come with medical risks.

Large-scale analysis in The Cochrane Library finds no need for these restrictions and supports women eating and drinking as they please. authors, Gillian ML Gyte, M.Phil, of the department of women and children's health at the University of Liverpool in the U.K .suggest that there should be no hospital policies which restrict fluids and foods in labor; nor should formal guidelines tell women to take specific foods, such as energy drinks,".

The findings indicate that most of us are still practicing unproven and probably unnecessary restrictions from the point of view of what is most beneficial for patients.

Exercise during pregnancy must balance the benefits and risks to both mother and fetus.

Maternal benefits are both physical and psychological. Common complaints of pregnancy such as fatigue, varicosities swelling of extremities, insomnia, stress, anxiety and depression impact women who exercise to a lesser extent. There is evidence that suggests that exercise throughout pregnancy can lead to shorter labour and less complications during delivery.
Exercise improves glycemic blood sugar control in women with gestational diabetes and may play a role in preventing this condition. It also has a protective effect on coronary heart disease, increased blood pressure, osteoporosis, as well as a reduced risk of colon cancer, and perhaps breast cancer.
Reasonable goals of aerobic conditioning in pregnancy should be to maintain a good fitness level throughout pregnancy. Activities should be chosen that will minimise the risk of loss of balance and fetal trauma. Adverse pregnancy or neonatal outcomes are not increased for exercising women. Initiation of pelvic floor exercises in the immediate postpartum period may reduce the risk of future urinary incontinence. Moderate exercise during lactation does not affect the quantity or composition of breast milk or impact on fetal growth.
When starting an aerobic exercise programme, previously sedentary women should begin with 15 minutes continuous exercise three times a week, increasing gradually to 30-minute sessions four times a week to daily. It is suggested that a warm up and cool down period be included in any exercise regimen. The good guide to the intensity of the exercise is the so called ‘talk test’, where exercise should take place at an intensity that allows you to maintain a conversation during exercise. A reasonable target heart rate should be between 125-140.
Postpartum women are able to participate in moderate physical activity without compromise to infant breast milk acceptance or infant growth. By strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, the risk of urinary stress incontinence may be reduced. Current recommendations suggest that, if pregnancy and delivery are uncomplicated, a mild exercise programme consisting of walking, pelvic floor exercises and stretching may begin immediately.

Dealing with potential but unproven risks to child health

There is currently no official antenatal advice that informs pregnant and lactating women about potential risks that some chemical exposures could pose. Raising the awareness of the current issues offers an advice for women to make informed decisions that will predispose their baby to have the best possible health.

A recent scientific paper published by the royal college of obstetricians and gynaecologists advises the following:

● use fresh food rather than processed foods whenever possible
● reduce use of foods/beverages in cans/plastic containers, including their use for food storage
● minimise the use of personal care products such as moisturisers, cosmetics, shower gels and
fragrances
● minimise the purchase of newly produced household furniture, fabrics, non–stick frying pans
and cars whilst pregnant/nursing
● avoid the use of garden/household/pet pesticides or fungicides (such as fly sprays or strips,
rose sprays, flea powders)
● avoid paint fumes
● only take over–the–counter analgesics or painkillers when necessary
● do not assume safety of products based on the absence of ‘harmful’ chemicals in their
ingredients list, or the tag ‘natural’ (herbal or otherwise).
