Results To assay whether the MLPA is able to accurately detect TS cases, we first analyzed a cohort of known mosaic TS patients (“pilot TS group”). Using this group, the ratio able to detect all the mosaicisms and X structural abnormalities was 0.76 at least in one probe (table 1). This ratio permitted to identify also the lowest grade of mosaicism (15%) (mos 45,X[15]/46,XX[85]) among the patients of the pilot TS group. Interestingly, in this population, the MLPA detected Y material presence in…

Gender verification in sport has been a phenomenon drawing plenty of people’s attention for a long time. It is interpreted as the process of identifying the gender of all athletes into only one group: male or female. This issue has appeared continuously not only in the Olympic games, the most important international athletic competition in the world but also in various sports events all around the world. This essay will showcase the underlying reasons behind this practice. Next, it will also…

Basic / structure nervous system (2) What lobe of the brain is associated with the processing and interpreting of visual stimuli? Answer Choices: A. Frontal lobe B. Occipital lobe C. Parietal lobe D. Temporal lobe Explanation: The occipital lobe is the primary visual processing center. It receives visual input from the retina and interpret the signal into a recognizable image. While the parietal lobe and temporal lobe are also involved in visual perception, their main role differ. The…

Neurosurgery There are eight main parts of the brain. There are traces of ten different elements from the Periodic Table of Elements in the brain. Neurosurgery has dated back to around 10,000 BCE. The person who created modern neurosurgery was Harvey Cushing. Other famous neurosurgeons are Walter Dandy, A. Earl Walker, Donlin M. Long, Henry Brem, and Ben Carson. There are different specialties a neurosurgeon can choose to do. There are a lot of diseases that need neurosurgeons to treat them.…

Specific Aims / Statement of Hypotheses Aim 1: To determine the effects of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) on health related quality of life (HRQoL) in adolescents with and without chronic illnesses. Hypothesis: We hypothesize that ACEs, as a precipitating factor, will decrease the quality of life in adolescents regardless of having a chronic illness or not. However, we suspect that there will be a differential effect between the two groups as we expect the presence of ACEs will exacerbate…

Pediatrics is a division of medicine that deals with the development, care, and diseases of children. Pediatric nurses provide this medical care for children from the time they are first born until their teenage years. Children are not just small adults, especially when it comes to their growing bodies and health. Due to the matter that they are developing and evolving, they have different needs, even different anatomies, and their bodies and health issues are often much different than those of…
