Defects Like most expectant parents‚ you probably alternate between fantasies about a healthy baby and worries that your baby will have a health problem. Or perhaps you’ve been told throughprenatal screening that your baby might be born with a birth defect. Many parents assume that all birth defects are severe or even fatal‚ but the fact is that many are treatable‚ often immediately after birth — and sometimes even before the baby is born. It’s especially important to know the risk factors

During the physical examination‚ we were unable to elicit findings typical of pneumonia such as dullness on both the lower lung fields‚ crackles‚ and increased breath sounds. We attributed this to the medications that were already taking effect on the day prior to conducting the physical examination. Administration of antibiotics and expectorants relieves the pulmonary congestion by reducing the bacterial load and purging the mucus that clogs the bronchi. The resolution of the disease in the patient

INTRODUCTION : Human “PKNOX” gene is a homeobox gene (1)‚ belongs to the homeobox gene family‚ involved in the regulation of development of animals. It is also known as “PREP”. They play important roles in different steps of body pattern formation during early embryogenesis of animals. Homeobox genes are generally highly conserved and control similar phenotypic characters among distantly related organisms (2). However‚ they are also responsible for controlling different phenotypic characters
