Down Syndrome Although many theories have been developed‚ it is not known what actually causes Down syndrome. Some professionals believe that hormonal abnormalities‚ X-rays‚ viral infections‚ immunologic problems‚ or genetic predisposition may be the cause of the improper cell division resulting in Down syndrome. It has been known for some time that the risk of having a child with Down syndrome increases with advancing age of the mother; i.e.‚ the older the mother‚ the greater the possibility

published the first report on the symptoms of Turner Syndrome. It was published as “A Syndrome of Short Stature‚ webbed beck and infantilism”. It was a report on seven girls who shared similar features to each other. Dr. Turner helped with the advancement of treatment for the girls with the syndrome. He did this by pioneering the use of exogenous sex steroids for treating ovarian failure (“Years of Medical Advances in Turner Syndrome”) . Today‚ Turner Syndrome occurs in 1 in 2‚500 females worldwide. 15% of

Infants go through a tremendous amount of growth from birth to time of their first birth year. Infants experience growth and changes in various aspects of their life and below I will be discussing three principal areas that changes and growth occur for most infants at 12 months old. These three areas are the cognitive‚ social or emotional and physical changes. Cognitive changes are associated with the development of the infant brain and their ability to process information/thinking. Most infants

Although this technology isn’t entirely available it is causing quite the debates. Which leads many people to think: what are the pros and cons to genetic engineering? According to Stephen Baird‚ “Some will curse these new technologies‚ sounding the death knell for humanity‚ envisioning the social‚ cultural‚ and moral collapse of our society and perhaps our civilization.
