The test procedure that is used is an Automated ABR (Auditory Brainstem Response) that measures the brain nerve responds to sound. A click sound…

Janet tries to argue that a fetus should be thought of as a human. Not only should readers consider them humans, but they should also know how smart a fetus is. There are very few differences between a newborn and a fetus. At the 32 week mark, the fetus has almost the same behavioral patterns as a newborn.

these children often have to receive medical attention right after birth. “Nearly 15 percent of surviving preterm infants whose birth weights were less than 2,000 grams have serious physical and mental disabilities after discharge” (Rizzo).

Hip,” written by a large group of people, mainly pedestrians, gives a few facts and statistics about DDH and who is at risk: DDH is not always detectable at birth, but some newborn screening surveys suggest and incidence as high as 1 in 100 newborns with evidence of instability, and 1 to 1.5 cases of dislocation per 1000 newborns. The incidence of DDH is higher in girls. Girls are especially susceptible to the maternal hormone relaxin, which may contribute to ligamentous laxity with the…

process of a male and female create human life. The process of gestation is the most amazing thing ever, but can also be fetal for fetus. During my research, Hydrops Fetalis caught my eye. This is a serious condition which occurs in a fetus and a newborn. There are two different types of Hydrops Fetalis, which I will be telling you more about in the next paragraph.

The primary objective for this study is to assess the ability…
