Placenta

Mill’s case, an ectopic pregnancy.2 This protein, which is absent in men and non pregnant woman, is responsible for the formation of the intrauterine gestational sac.4 Progesterone, which is formed at an elevated level throughout pregnancy by the placenta, suppresses ovulation during pregnancy as well as stimulates the growth of milk-forming glands in the breast.5 In Mrs. Mills’ case, her levels of progesterone exceeded those of a non-pregnant woman. Therefore, the elevated levels of…

The disease that I picked was Pertussis also known as “Whooping cough”, it comes from the Latin words “intensive cough”. It causes an inspiration whooping and it also can cause posttussive vomiting, apnea with or without cyanosis, paroxysms of coughing.

Regardless of whichever side of the spectrum debaters find themselves on, they have to have the factual information. Also it may surprise one as to what the current and past government’s position or stance of the subject of stem cell research, specifically embryonic stem cells, has been and currently is. It never hurts to know more information. Another major thing to consider are the costs. According to Alliance for Aging Research founder Daniel Perry, “Over 100 million Americans suffer from…

Study Design Four cases and one literary review were used for this literature review. The studies were all structured around PPD, but all had different purposes and goals to what they wanted to discover. The first article “The Relationship Between Model of Delivery and Postpartum Depression” by Sarah Soheil, Forozon Sharifi, and Leila Dastmozd (2017) was designed to identify the relationship between delivery type and postpartum depression frequency by comparing vaginal births, emergency…

hypothyroidism (CH) is the most common congenital endocrine disorder in childhood and is also one of the most preventable causes of mental retardation.” This disorder is difficult to diagnose because these hormones pass from the mother through the placenta to the fetus and can therefore still be present in the infant. Screening is imperative after birth to detect this disorder and to promptly begin treatment. Typically, they will do a blood test 2-5 days after birth. You want to avoid testing 48…

which is used for energy. Vitamin B₁₂ is stored in the liver and kidney, but maternal stores of this nutrient are not available to the fetus. Studies have suggested that only the vitamin B₁₂ ingested during pregnancy can be transported across the placenta. If the mother experiencing vitamin B₁₂ deficiency may show…

pregnancy is clearly ectopic and the embryo is still relatively small, you may be given the drug methotrexate. The drug is injected into a muscle and reaches the embryo through your bloodstream, where it ends the pregnancy by stopping the cells of the placenta from growing. (Over time, the tiny embryo is reabsorbed into your body”.)(BabyCenter) or another way to terminate a pregnancy is through a surgery called laparoscopic which according to webMD “A laparoscope is a thin, flexible instrument…

The name of our skeletal disorder/ disease that we chose is called Polydactyly. Also known as hyperdactyly and polydactylism, Polydactyly is a medial term used to describe the unusual condition of extra fingers and extra toes. Polydactyly is a deformity in which the hand has one or more extra fingers in any of three places of the hand: • On the small finger side—most common (ulnar) • On the thumb side, also called thumb duplication—less common (radial) • In the middle of the hand—least…

tendrils and around fourteen days the egg has implanted itself (Morrison & Shaffer). The egg does this in order to secrete hormones, as well as, other properties and protect itself from the mother’s immune system. The tendrils eventually form into the placenta in which allows only certain substances such as nutrients and oxygen into the egg. However, the researchers…
