How much of their current content do you think would exist if they didn't share ad revenue with creators? 20%? 50%? 80%? Indeed, it might be that 80% of YouTube's highest-quality content wouldn't be made in the first place. New kinds of businesses will appear, creating new forms of content that previously didn't exist. So in other words, those “kicks” you’re feeling might really be gas, but pregnant-you got so used to baby kicks that your brain thinks that’s what they are.With a revenue share model like this, billions of dollars will be paid to publishers. However, this heightened sense of awareness then gets misattributed after delivery to normal body functions, most commonly digestive function like the movement of bowel gas,” Woodus adds. “With this theory, the pregnant mother becomes conditioned to a heightened sense of awareness of fetal movement as it is an important marker of fetal health and well-being. Phantom kicks may also be attributed to normal body functions. Heightened awareness of normal bodily functions “This theory suggests the normal remodeling process that the body undergoes to restore the muscle and connective tissue to the pre-pregnancy state gets phantom kicks,” she explains. Woodus says another theory points to a misattribution of postpartum recovery. Gaither also says phantom kicks may be causally related to an increased risk of mental health disorders, and more specifically, depression and anxiety. Basically, the nerves in your stomach are on auto-pilot, giving you the sensation of phantom kicks, even without the baby. ![]() So walking without looking where your feet are or touching your nose with your eyes closed. Proprio-what? This is your body’s ability to sense its location and movements without consciously thinking about it. While the mechanism behind flutter kicks is unknown, researchers believe it may be related to changes in the somatosensory homunculus or proprioception during pregnancy. This is similar to phantom missing limb pain, when amputees continue to experience sensation after the limb is removed. “When this happens, nerve receptors continue to fire or be stimulated to the extent that the brain thinks there is fetal movement - clearly even when none is present,” explains Kecia Gaither, MD, MPH, FACOG, double board-certified in OB-GYN and maternal fetal medicine, director of perinatal services at NYC Health + Hospitals/Lincoln. Stretching of the uterine cavity or abdomen in pregnancy increases the growth of nerve receptors. Nevertheless, experts do have some theories that could explain the cause of these mysterious flutters. While we know some women experience phantom kicks, we don’t know with any certainty why they occur. ![]() With that in mind, further research is needed to determine the role phantom kicks play in the postpartum period. She also points to the inherent associated bias of self-selection and recall bias. First, the data is based on one small sample and hasn’t been reproduced. While the information from this survey gives us something to go on, Woodus says it’s important to note the many limitations of this research. Researchers also discovered that 25 percent of the women described the experience as positive, while 27 percent felt upset or confused by the phantom kicks. On average, the women surveyed felt phantom kicks for 6.8 years postpartum. Of the 197 women surveyed, 40 percent said they experienced phantom kicks after giving birth for the first time. That said, we do have data from a small survey that asked women about their experiences with phantom kicks.Īccording to an online survey conducted by Disha Sasan and colleagues at Monash University in Australia, women can experience phantom fetal kicks for several years postpartum, with one woman feeling these flutters up to 28 years postpartum. This is mainly due to a lack of studies and research regarding phantom kicks. When asked if they’re normal, Woodus says, “it’s hard to make a determination as to whether or not these sensations are normal, as we do not have a clear understanding of what they are or what causes them.” In other words, they’re the light, quickening movements you may feel in your stomach days, weeks, months, or even years after childbirth. Still, when these flutters continue to happen long after the postpartum period, many mamas begin to wonder if something else (other than pregnancy) is going on.Īccording to Tiffany Woodus, MD, FACOG, an OB-GYN in Texas, phantom kicks are the continued perception of fetal movement in the abdomen by a mother after pregnancy. Women expect to feel pint-size baby kicks when pregnant. ![]() ![]() ![]() Symptoms include sudden difficulty breathing, throat swelling, a fast heart rate, and dangerously low blood pressure. Kissing bugs skin#People with certain skin sensitivities to the bugs saliva may exhibit signs of allergic reactions, such as itching, swelling, redness, etc. Severe allergic reactionįor some people, a kissing bug bite may result in a severe acute allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Kissing bugs occasionally bite humans in their sleep. The CDC estimates that about 300,000 people in the United States have Chagas disease, and most have picked up the disease while traveling. You’ll often see 2-15 bite marks in one area and maybe redness and swelling. Kissing bugs can be found in the southern United States, but despite Southern hospitality, these genteel bugs only rarely carry the Chagas-causing parasite. Kissing bugs are so named because they like to bite around the mouth or eyes. At this point, there’s no longer a way to cure the disease.įor many people, symptoms never pop back up, but for some, they do - even a decade or more later! The CDC estimates that 20 to 30 percent of people who have the disease may experience severe - even fatal - symptoms at some point years later.Ĭhagas disease is most commonly found in South America, Central America, and Mexico, where an estimated 8 million people have the disease. While your overall health may seem a-OK, the parasite remains in your body. To cure the illness, it’s crucial to receive treatment at this phase.Īs the number of parasites in your blood decreases, your symptoms will improve. The members of the Triatominae / tra.tmni /, a subfamily of the Reduviidae, are also known as conenose bugs, kissing bugs (so-called from their habit of feeding from around the mouths of people), 1 or vampire bugs. As the parasites circulate in your blood, you may start to feel like you have a very mild case of the flu, complete with aches, pains, fever, swollen lymph nodes, or even a rash. But if you do, the disease has two phases.ĭuring the acute phase, you may not have any symptoms. Kissing bugs (triatomines) are bloodsucking insects that are found primarily throughout the Americas. Not everyone who’s bitten by a kissing bug will get Chagas disease. Scratching or rubbing the bite increases the likelihood of transferring the feces or urine into your body. Conenose bugs (also known as kissing bugs) are blood-sucking insects that feed on rodents or other wild animals. Chagas diseaseĪs mentioned earlier, kissing bugs’ urine and feces are known to carry a parasite called Trypanosoma cruzi, which can cause Chagas disease.įor the bug to pass the disease to a human, the bug’s feces or urine has to enter through your eyes, nose, mouth, or any other opening in your skin - including the bite itself.

( 2017) indicated, planning for tsunami disaster mitigation along the Japan Sea coast has not been as developed as for the Pacific coast. The coastal areas of the Japan Sea have experienced large tsunamis produced by earthquakes of this type: for example, the 1983 Nihonkai–Chubu earthquake tsunami (e.g., Shuto 1985). By contrast, subduction zones generating megathrust earthquakes comparable to those in the Pacific Ocean do not exist in the Japan Sea however, many active faults exist over the area. The government has therefore promoted tsunami hazard mitigation measures along the Japanese coastlines of the Pacific Ocean, where earthquake-induced tsunamis reoccur at moderate intervals and for which a great wealth of such observation data exist. 1983), and deposits for paleo tsunamis were also found (e.g., Fujino et al. There are records and survey results of recent tsunami inundation and damage in the coastal areas (e.g., Hatori et al. These earthquakes generated large tsunamis that struck the coastal areas. Historical documents have indicated that large earthquakes repeatedly occurred with intervals of 100–200 years over a long term (Thatcher 1984). Nankai Trough earthquakes are typical examples of repeatedly occurring earthquakes. Earthquakes occurring in subduction zones have been considered to occur repeatedly dominated by several factors such as the geological structure and the convergence rate. 2013) and Nankai Trough (e.g., Tanioka and Satake 2001). ![]() The regions bordering the Pacific Ocean have typically been struck by tsunamis generated by earthquakes in subduction zones, such as the Japan Trench (e.g., Satake et al. The coastal areas at risk from near-field tsunamis span the coastlines along the Pacific Ocean and the Japan Sea, covering metropolises and major ports. Japanese coastal areas, including urbanized and densely populated areas, are prone to severe damage from tsunami inundation (e.g., Woessner and Farahani 2020). Based on these results, the enhancement of existing infrastructure such as breakwaters and river levees should be the priority measure within tsunami risk-mitigation strategies these, combined with natural resources such as dunes, can effectively mitigate tsunami disasters. These findings were common to the coastal areas, and could be generally applicable to tsunami inundation for all coastal areas along the Japan Sea. Additionally, even the areas protected by the dunes might be exposed to an inundation risk in which the tsunamis invade a river channel, causing it to overflow. However, the presence of the breakwaters also increases the tsunami heights in the areas immediately beyond the ports. According to the simulated results, the dunes and port breakwaters contribute significantly to decreasing the total amount of tsunami inundation for the areas behind them. Natural sand dunes, ports with man-made breakwaters, and rivers with levees are typical topographical features found in urbanized and densely populated areas along the Japan Sea coastline. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the estimated inundation characteristics, tsunami inundation was simulated for each coastal area under varying tsunami source conditions (including excessive tsunami magnitude) with a high resolution of the topography and infrastructure. Comprehensive simulations for tsunami propagation and inundation were performed for coastal areas in Akita City, Sakata City, and Niigata City based on earthquake and tsunami source scenarios developed by the Japanese Government for the Japan Sea area. Based on tsunami simulations for representative coastal areas, we aimed to identify common vulnerabilities, which included those suggested by previous studies and local governments, to develop disaster mitigation strategies. ![]() This study estimated the tsunami inundation characteristics for three major Japanese coastal cities along the Japan Sea. For Japanese coastal communities along the Japan Sea, where the risk of earthquake-induced tsunamis is deemed lower than that along the Pacific Ocean, tsunami disaster mitigation strategies have not been sufficiently developed. ![]() ![]() Swing for the fences!
