What Is Downs Syndrome 1. Introduction Down syndrome is a genetic condition which causes a certain level of characteristic physical appearance and a disability in learning. The genetic condition is produced by a problem in gene and this takes place before birth. There is a certain grade of intellectual disability this differs between each person. Babies which are born with Down’s syndrome are diagnosed with the disorder after birth they are most likely to have below average weight as well as…

Becoming pregnant and giving birth is the greatest accomplishment a mother endures, I was able to experience this twice and had two beautiful children. Already having two children just about half way grown up my boyfriend and I were surprised to find out I was pregnant and we were going to have our third child.

and can hear you heart beat and also each and every kind of sound going on around you. Your baby is now swallowing and urinating around half litres a day. I there is more than enough amniotic liquid then your baby may not swallowing properly or could have gastrointestinal problem after birth and if there is less amniotic liquid in the sac then there is a chance that your baby may have kidney problems after birth. Mother’s body changes: • The gaining weight both of you and your baby gives you a…

contents (usually contain bile). Duodenal atresia It is complete occlusion of the duodenal lumen as a result of failed recanalization. It usually affects duodenum just distal to the bile duct opening, and associates with polyhydramnios (excess of amniotic fluid). Presents after few hours of birth by bile stained vomiting. The diagnosis is usually predicted by seeing a ‘double-bubble sign’ on plain radiographs or ultrasound scans. It is more common in premature babies (20%) and Down syndrome…

is unknown it could be genetic or environment. It could also be caused from other problems with the skeleton like Spina bifida. Also, if the parents have had clubfoot then that could be a cause. Not enough amniotic fluid in the womb could cause clubfoot.…

cow is pregnant. Trans rectal palpation of the uterine horns to determine if one is larger than the other and presence of fluid in the larger one is a method that in less invasive and used often. There is also the palpation of the amniotic vesicle by “placing all four fingers dorsally and the thumb ventrally along the greater curvature of the horn”. After 60 days, the amniotic vesicle becomes flaccid which makes direct palpation of the fetus possible. Adapted nutrition is important in any…

“English Sweat,” “Grippe,” “Influenza,” and “Swine Flu” are some of the common names that stand for the flu. It had been recorded way back into Ancient Greek History by a father of medicine, Hippocrates, who wrote down in his journal, the flu-like symptoms, which appeared in patients. Back then and today scientists cannot completely get rid of the flu. This type of virus can survive under extremely cold temperature. Kelly (2011) said, “Scientists have discovered viruses frozen in the ice of…

between 1 in 200 and 1 in 400 cases; CVS has even higher risk--1 in 100” (Painter, 1997, p. 5). Amniocentesis and CVS consist of two examples in genetic testing that have been statistically proven to come with risks. Amniocentesis is “a test of the amniotic fluid around the baby” and Chorionic villus sampling, CVS,…

is at risk of inheriting any genetic disorder through prenatal treatments. Amniocentesis is one of the prenatal treatment that many families experience during the second trimester of the pregnancy. The test is perform by removing a small amount of fluid from the womb by inserting a long thin needle through the belly. The test is conducted in search of birth defects and genetic disorder in the developing baby (Gross, 2011). However, this test is gear towards women who are 35 or older, have had…

Down syndrome, also called Trisomy 21, is a congenital disorder resulting in abnormal development of the brain, causing mental retardation in varying degrees (Carlson, N. R., 530). Down syndrome is the most frequent human birth defect. Mother’s age, in most cases the mothers ova functions differently causing her to produce two (rather than one) twenty-first chromosomes. When fertilization occurs, the father’s twenty-first chromosome makes three rather than two. Down syndrome causes developmental…
