Talk:Katharina Dalton

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This bbc article would be very helpful for expanding this article. It mention most of her notable work, and this stories would be a good starting points for someone who plans to extend her biography here. Notable stories:

• She first became fascinated by the menstrual cycle while pregnant when she noticed the migraines that normally plagued her each month were absent.

• In her first month as GP, she was called to the house of an asthmatic exhibiting severe breathing difficulties. The woman's husband informed her the same thing happened each month. Intrigued, Dr Dalton then started to keep a note on those female patients who visited her at regular times each month. She soon concluded that PMS and postnatal syndrome were caused by a lack of the hormone, progesterone.

• She also carried out research at Holloway women's prison. Here she found that 49% of the newly convicted prisoners that she interviewed had been sentenced for crimes committed during the four days prior to the start of a period and the first four days of it - known as the paramenstruum.
  • She was an expert witness for the defence of Anna Reynolds, a woman charged with manslaughter, and of Nicola Owen, an arsonist who struck at intervals that were multiples of 28 days.

We even don't have here introductive data/paragraph, her parent name, schooling a regacy.
