Implantation

The advancement in technology has led to a solution for individuals with damage to the inner ear. Cochlear implants are devices used for individuals who suffer from a severe to profound hearing loss who do not benefit from the use of hearing aids. Individuals who are candidates for the use of cochlear implants commonly suffer from a severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss, which is a hearing loss that is attributed to damage to the cochlea. The cochlea is the anatomical structure that…

is called in-vitro fertilization and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. IVF is the process women go through to scan their embryos for diseases. The way this process works is doctors take a three-day-old embryo and pull cells from it to test if it contains any genetic diseases (Edmonds). If the tests come back fine, then the embryo is implanted back into the mother’s womb, but if it’s not, the parents have the option to abort it or to do a pre-implantation genetic diagnosis. In the PGD process,…

Charlotte Perkins Gilman’s “The Yellow Wallpaper” explains what needed to be done for women immediately. The short story was written in 1892 during this era women were treated as objects and not as human beings. Moreover, the story explains an aspect of this. The restraint that women suffered, the narrator is told that she cannot leave the house and is strictly to rest, consequently this leads to insanity and the obsession over the wallpaper proceeds. Additionally, the mistreatment of her…

football player and mom wants the ballerina. We live in a society where gender screening is now an option. The definition of a designer baby “is a baby that is the result of genetic screening or genetic modification. Embryos may be screened prior to implantation, or possibly gene therapy techniques could be used to create desired traits in a child” (Designer Baby, 2016). When looking at the modifications that currently can and perhaps one day will be able to be done they include the option to…

• Introduction : Congestive heart failure (CHF) is specifically known as congestive cardiac failure (CCF) in the scientific papers. The term ‘’CHF’’ describes a debilitating condition in which the heart 's function as a pump is unable to deliver an adequate amount of rich-oxygen blood to the rest of the body and the fluid builds up in the body and other organs making the heart congested. CHF results from any structural or functional cardiac disorder that weakens the pumping ability of the heart,…

had failed prior to 5 years. In 1999, Tanaka et al designed talar body prosthesis to preserve ankle motion in patients with aseptic necrosis (43,70), followed by several subsequent prosthesis design revisions to improve outcomes after prosthesis implantation (9). Taniguchi et al (45) explored two types of talar body prosthesis.The first-generation used a peg for the neck of the talus and second-generation removed the peg. Despite acceptable results in eight of 14 patients treated with the…

Although the sounds coming from the implant sound much different than what we hear this enables a person to hear sounds, which they wouldn’t have been able to hear before. Surgery for implantation of cochlear implants involve doctors placing electrodes on the auditory nerve, which helps transmit sound waves into the ear canal. With the surgery, a person is able to become more mainstream and communicate better with others in society. There…

The Cochlear Implant: A miracle to hear The objective of this research paper is to my personal knowledge and to show how deaf people need the opportunity to receive the miracle to hear and why this cochlear implant is the best option for them. This research paper starts with the story how the cochlear implant was invented. Later, the differences between hearing aids and the cochlear implant and the procedure of Cochlear Implant. Finally, how this cochlear implant affects to the deaf community.…

additional follow-up visits or surgeries. According to the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (2015), one cochlear implant device can range from $40,000 to $100,000, and “many individuals are now being fitted with two devices”. “Cochlear implantation consistently ranks among the most cost-effective medical procedures ever reported” (American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2015). Although families may be able to obtain some financial assistance for their child, it is highly…

but the decision-making process isn’t as simple as it seems. Deaf people struggle with the threat of health complications and difficulty in school in addition to loss of identity when deciding if they should take the financial risk of cochlear implantation. Consequently, the decision to do the procedure challenges Deaf people around the world, and most people don’t listen to these concerns, making the decision even more difficult. How Cochlear Implants Work If you have ever met a Deaf person,…
