When discussing bioethical considerations‚ life-support technology‚ and other ethical issues in medical decisions‚ I have to begin by drawing upon my own experience as a pediatric nurse‚ and the outcomes of many of my patients. In particular‚ my final position before retiring was caring for several infants with hypoplastic left heart syndrome‚ both in the home and as support of the family during hospitalizations. However‚ the skilled-nursing home care was to help keep hospitalizations at a minimum

Down Syndrome Down syndrome is a genetic condition that typically causes some level of learning disability and a characteristic range of physical features. Most babies born with Down’s syndrome are diagnosed with the condition after birth and are likely to have: reduced muscle tone leading to floppine eyes that slant upwards and outwards a below average weight and length at birth Although children with Down’s syndrome share some common physical characteristics‚ they do not all look the same

Meiotic Mysteries By: Karen Schindler In class we went over the cycle of meiosis‚ the sexual life cycle‚ and its stages. Meiosis has four stages which are‚ prophase I‚ metaphase I‚ anaphase I‚ and telophase I. In an adult before ovulation the oocyte goes back to meiosis forming a meiotic spindle of microtubules to segregate homologous chromosomes. When it reaches fertilization‚ the egg itself undergoes a second round of division segregating sister chromatids. Which is Prophase II‚ Metaphase II

The genetic cause for Down syndrome is when a person inherits all or part of an extra copy of chromosome 21. Trisomy 21‚ the inheritance of an entire third copy of this chromosome‚ accounts for 95 percent of Down syndrome cases. Two other abnormalities each account for 2 to 3 percent of all cases. The first‚ translocation‚ takes place when a child inherits an extra piece of chromosome 21 attached to a different chromosome. The second‚ called mosaic Down syndrome‚ results when only some cells in

Down syndrome is a congenital disorder arising from a chromosome defect‚ causing intellectual impairment and physical abnormalities including short stature and a broad facial profile. It arises from a defect involving chromosome 21‚ usually an extra copy also known as trisomy 21. It is quite rare to have a kid with Down syndrome. People say it all depends on your age. Which yes‚ it’s more likely to get a child with Down syndrome if you’re in your 30’s but there has been women in the age of their 20’s

Genetic counseling is the process that evaluates family history‚ ordering genetic test and evaluating medical records. Genetic counseling is a service that helps the people to translate scientific information into practical information. Genetic tests determine if there are gene-carrying traits or inherited disorders. Genetic tests done by testing small amount of body tissue or blood sample. The gene is made up of DNA sequence molecule‚ which is building blocks‚ the hereditary grouped in specific
