Gestation

The chance of a miscarriage is about 1-2%. Amniocentesis or Amniotic Fluid Test (AFT) Gestation period: Between weeks 15 - 20 What it will detect: Down syndrome, edwards syndrome, patau syndrome, and neural tube defects that affect the spine or brain, such as spina bifida and anencephaly. How it Works: A small amount of amniotic fluid (60…

Livestock cage laws I am going to prove that the new livestock cage laws are wrong. Gestation crates and farrowing crate are helpful and should not be banded. I believe that no matter what people think there are many benefits by using these pens. I am planning to give the reasons to keep them, and then give the counter thought and why it is weak. New cage laws would harm livestock because when hogs are pregnant, they attack other hogs, mother can also crash their piglets and chickens are in…

(Kitani, et al. 1961; Carr and Olive, 1959). Due to its rapid gestation period as well as the ability to see the crossover from the spores, Sodaria became the ideal scientific model for this experiment. The purpose of this study was to determine the crossover frequency between a wild and gray type Sordaria. The use of Sodaria was due to the ability to physically observe crossover along with its rapid gestation period of a week. The rapid gestation would…

Nuchal translucency (NT) is the sonographic appearance of the subcutaneous accumulation of fluid behind the fetal neck in the first trimester of pregnancy. NT is measured between 11 to 13 weeks gestation with the optimal measurement of crown-rump (the length of an embryo or fetus measured from the skull vertex to the midpoint between the apices of the buttocks10) of 45 mm to 84 mm. Most fetuses can be viewed transabdominally scan, while some need additional transvaginal examination2. The…

Fluorouracil FDA pregnancy category X which means that studies in animals or humans beings have demonstrated fetal abnormalities or there is evidence of fetal risk based on human experience or both, and the risk of use of the drug in pregnant women clearly outweighs any possible benefit. It is unknown whether or not fluorouracil crosses the placenta. Leucovorin is a Pregnancy category C which indicates that studies have revealed adverse effects on the fetus and there are no controlled studies in…

eclampsia A. Pregnancy-induced hypertension is the onset of high blood pressure before 20 weeks gestation. B. Preeclampsia is characterized by persistent high blood pressures during pregnancy associated with proteinuria or the new development of decreased blood platelets, trouble with the kidney or liver, fluid in the lungs, or signs of brain trouble such as seizures and/or visual disturbances at 20 weeks gestation or later (Preeclampsia Foundation, 2013). C. Many obstetricians theorize that bed…

In contrast, a CL ≥15mm is reassuring since less than 1‐2% will deliver within 7 days1 .In asymptomatic women, TVS of the cervix is most beneficial for the identification of women at low risk for preterm delivery. However, a short cervix at mid‐gestation ultrasound does increase the risk of preterm delivery in this group. Several studies have reported that transvaginal cervical length assessment may be a useful tool for prediction of preterm delivery. Many studies have found that cervical…

levels and premature births (Iams & Donovan, 2011). These reports have also been concluded in the United Kingdom and Europe (Iams & Donovan, 2011). This has especially been reported of spontaneous premature delivers of less than thirty two weeks gestation (Iams & Donovan, 2011). Lack of maternal health education can lead to negative outcomes…

awareness grows there has been an influx of animal welfare issues. One of the most debated issues in the agricultural world, is the housing of sows. The goal of gestation housing for sows is to produce a healthy sow and piglet in a way that does not affect the welfare of either animal, and is also cost effect for the farmer. Most gestation sows are currently housed in individual stalls. Individual stalls are for a single sow, while group pens are for a number of sows. This has become an issue…

Body structure and Symmetry Description The sphydrena barracuda also known as the Great Barracuda is described as a large fish usually around 50-110 lbs. The Great Barracuda has a silver and round body with dark patches. They are also known to have lighter side bands. Their mouth has an interesting feature with very sharp teeth and a large underslung jaw. They also have widely separated dorsal fins. The Great Barracuda has a bilateral symmetry (seaworld.org).
