Knowing how to assess and or evaluate a peer review article written by scholars can sometimes be a challenge. Gathering information, structuring and formatting papers as well as analyzing framework happens to be the necessary factors to research papers. It’s a huge difference when you’re on a doctoral level of education trying to understand on an advance note (Korb, 2013). For some people being able to establish justification, having an aim, predicting outcomes and being determined to…
mother's blood. Williams Syndrome Williams syndrome is a rare disorder that can lead to problems with development. It is passed down in the offsprings of families. One of the 25 missing genes is the one that produces elastin, a protein that allows blood vessels and other tissues in the body to stretch. It is likely that missing a copy of this gene results in the narrowing of blood vessels, stretchy skin, and flexible joints seen in this condition. Symptoms of Williams syndrome are:…
Mohammad Ekrama Biology 22 Professor Clark 1october 2016 Christianson Syndrome Abstract: Christianson Syndrome is a super rare disease, it is a recessive X-linked disorder ,that usually affects the human body, specifically the nervous system. There are a lot of symptoms for this disorder like ataxia, seizures, epilepsy, severe mental retardation and microcephaly. Mutations on the SLC9A6 gene cause Christianson Syndrome, this gene is located on the X chromosome. This disorder is usually…
neurodevelopment disorders, and what psychiatric disorders and down syndrome does in adolescents and young adults. This paper will only contain abstracts of my own doings for each journal I have obtained for this study. I will not be going into depth with every single disorder that is within a neurodevelopment disorder such as Mendelsohn’s Syndrome or…
Sleep is something all humans need to survive, yet many suffer from the chronic, life altering enemy, insomnia at some point during their life. According to the Sleep Management Institute, (2010) it has been “estimated 30%-50% of the general population is affected by insomnia, and 10% have chronic insomnia.” It is an unfortunate realization that insomnia affects females more frequently than men, and for those 60 years and older, it can pose an even greater danger to health, and rob the…
Angelman syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that affects around 1 in around 12,000-20,000 live births and affects both males and females equally. Angelman syndrome is very often misdiagnosed as autism or cerebral palsy. Angelman syndrome is not an inherited disease, and is instead caused by a change in the E3 ubiquitin protein ligase gene (UBE3A) on the maternal chromosome 15. This change prevents the chromosome from functioning properly. It occurs as a random event during the formation of eggs…
Overview: What is Williams Syndrome? Definition: Williams Syndrome is a genetic disorder, resulting from the deletion of 26 or more genes one chromosome number 7 (Mervis et al., 2000). That seemingly small loss can affect numerous parts of a person’s physical and mental health, as well as social behavior and sensory perception (Genetics Home Reference, 2014). Diagnosis: Williams Syndrome is a genetic condition that a child is born with and it can impact a child’s prenatal development as well…
In 1965 Harry Angelman reported clinical findings in three children with similar, unusual, attributes. These children had what was known as “happy puppet” syndrome, but was later changed to Angelman syndrome, due to its pejorative name. Angelman syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder distinguished by: severe learning difficulties, ataxia, jerky movements, epilepsy, speech impairments, hypopigmentation in the hair and the skin with blue eyes, subtle dysmorphic facial features, and happy and…
The speaker Adrienne Bashista gave a very insightful speech about what Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is and how it is caused. Before our speaker told us about her son, I had very little knowledge about what FASD was. I now realize how severe FASD is and how even the slightest consumption of alcohol can affect a fetus during pregnancy. I became aware that FASD is a rare syndrome that only 2 to 5 percent of the population have. This statistic surprised me due to a large amount of woman who may drink when…
Williams Syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder that affects approximately 20,000 people in the United States. This condition is present at birth. The causes of Williams syndrome is due to the deletion of 26 plus genes on one of an individual’s chromosome #7. Individuals born with Williams syndrome share a number of common neurological, medical, and behavioral characteristics as well as common facial…
