Another problem: there's no proof candling works. A small study a few years ago in the journal Laryngoscope showed that a lighted candle could never create enough suction to draw out wax. The "ear debris" left in the candle's hollows, assumed by aficionados to be proof--however icky--that candling is doing its stuff, is nothing more than melted wax from the candle itself. As for those ear mites, "Dogs and cats have ear mites," says Asher. "I've never seen a human with...
...raised about a link between vacuum-assisted deliveries and injury to a baby's brain, a new study has deemed the procedure relatively safe--i.e., at least as safe as other emergency interventions. After poring over the records of 500,000 births, researchers conclude that vacuum deliveries--using a suction cup-like device that coaxes the baby out--are associated with bleeding into a baby's brain in just 0.1% of cases, about the same rate as caesarean and forceps deliveries...
...mother's pelvis. While caesareans, which peaked at nearly 25 percent of births in the late '80s, were long held to be the best method for preventing such complications, the new research indicates that the procedure is no safer than nonsurgical alternatives, including the use of forceps or suction...
...home. Dad wouldn't, couldn't pay for round-the-clock nurses. Part-time aides came and went, unable to take the hours and the unrelenting attention Mom needed. After she had a tracheotomy and required a tube down her throat, I had to learn how to apply suction to the tube when she felt the saliva backing up--a procedure most of the aides were either unable or unwilling...
...alternative to a caesarean section, employed in an attempt to reduce the number of these births, is removing the fetus from the mother's body with forceps or by means of a suction cup or vacuum extractor. These procedures, the article reported, can be traumatic for the fetus and cause skull fractures, shoulder injuries, retinal hemorrhages and bleeding in the brain...
