Nausea or vomiting
Is nausea or vomiting ever mentioned anywhere in the bible? Please provided references. I am unsure how I can make the question clearer. I don't think it is in there.

Can you reverse an excommunication? Does excommunication affect your afterlife?
I recently found out that my grandmother was excommunicated for having a (medically necessary) hysterectomy in the 70's. She loved the Catholic Church, but she never returned, and was never the same after this happened. She passed away some time ago, but finding this out has left me with many questi...
I recently found out that my grandmother was excommunicated for having a (medically necessary) hysterectomy in the 70's. She loved the Catholic Church, but she never returned, and was never the same after this happened. She passed away some time ago, but finding this out has left me with many questions. Does this affect her afterlife? Does the Catholic Church keep a record of excommunications? It bothers me to think that there's some sort of black mark next to her name. If so, can this be reversed posthumously? I feel what happened to her was terrible and unfair, and even though she's gone, I'm just wondering if there is something I can do to right this wrong.

In Catholicism, under what circumstances is abortion condoned besides ectopic pregnancy? Two specific circumstances I'm wondering about: 1. If the pregnant female was raped at a very young age e.g. 5 years old 2. If the pregnant woman has an going illness that for some reason can't be treated while pregnant or would harm the fetus if treated. And in this case is whether or not the pregnant woman is raped relevant? Related: https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/83385/is-abortion-okay-if-the-mothers-life-is-at-risk-according-to-catholicism (but I didn't see here the specific circumstances I mention above - real world circumstances happening in Ohio ) > In Catholic morality, abortion is always wrong. Another principle is that intention is primary: it's about saving lives. When in saving the mother's life and reasonable care has been done for the unborn baby but the baby still does not survive, it's not called abortion as it is the unintended side effect. **Edit**: There was a question as to whether the treatment for an ectopic pregnancy counts as an abortion. I'd call it a 'justifiable abortion' similar to like justifiable homicide , but I think then that would be called like 'justifiable termination of a pregnancy' while the analogue of 'justifiable abortion' would be like 'justifiable murder'.

Wikipedia has a List of Christian Nobel laureates, but I can't find a list of great medical discoveries made by or even medical drugs created by religious people (or by Christian people) I am not looking for some sort of exhaustive list of minor medical discoveries and inventions. I am looking for a some sort of list of major medical discoveries, inventions, innovations, as one can not seem to be found! I mean discoveries that are more or less on the level of these discoveries: [Timeline of medicine and medical technology](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_medicine_and_medical_technology) .
