Trisomy 21 is a congenital disorder when a person is born with an extra chromosome. Normally‚ a baby is born with 46 chromosomes; a Down syndrome baby has a total of 47 chromosomes. This extra chromosome changes the babies’ brain and body development‚ which may cause physical and mental delays and challenges for the baby. It is caused when an error occurs during cell division. This error is called nondisjunction normally‚ when one cell splits into two‚ the pairs of chromosome are separated so

This paper will also take an in depth look at FAS from a psychological perspective. Foreign Accent Syndrome is a disorder classified by a sudden change in one’s speech. FAS is most often caused by damage in the brain resulting from stroke or traumatic injuries. Impairment to the left temporal lobe‚ which controls auditory

there is a worsening/deterioration of the nervous system‚ possibly coma‚ decreased fine control of motor skills‚ which inevitably leads to paralysis. Once the paralysis kicks in‚ the child will have seizures (a sudden attack of illness such as a stroke or an epileptic fit)‚ difficulty swallowing (which could cause liquid to go into the lungs and cause pneumonia)‚ and trouble seeing which leads to blindness. Another variation of this disease is Adrenomyelopathy‚ which comes into effect in the middle

Approximately 2.2 million adults in the United States are affected by atrial fibrillation making it the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia (Ryder & Benjamin‚ 1999). Atrial fibrillation describes a condition where the electrical signals of the heart are conducted in a rapid and disorganized manner. This uncoordinated conduction causes the two upper chambers of the heart‚ the atria‚ to contract very fast and irregularly‚ thus allowing blood to pool in the two atria. Independent Risk Factors
