PID significantly raises the risk of ectopic pregnancy - the fertilized egg does not settle and grow in the uterus; in most cases it will grow in the fallopian tubes, but may also grow in the ovary, cervix, or abdominal cavity. Cervicitis - inflammation of the cervix (neck of the womb). Symptoms may include a vaginal discharge, which may contain pus, pain during intercourse, frequent urination, burning pain when urinating. In chronic cervicitis the cervix may swell and cysts may develop. The cysts may become infected.
Anencephalic Infants Britney Moore Abnormal Psychology April 28, 2012 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to show the ethical dilemmas that are involved in health care today in regards to organ transplantation especially in anencephalic infants. This topic interests me because it is an abnormal neural tube defect that affects infants in today’s society. While reading about Rett’s Disorder I found there are similarities between the two disorders. For example both Rett’s Disorder and Anencephaly infants have abnormally small heads and they either lose the ability to use motor skills and talk or never are able to do either. Both also affect mostly girls and the child loses the ability to properly function.
Drug and alcohol use during pregnancy, low birth weight, lack of oxygen and premature or prolonged labour may also lead to LD. 3. Incidents after birth Serious
Infants diagnosed with PKD will most likely not live with the disease past the age of two. Cysts can be found by performing an ultrasound on the kidneys. DNA testing also allows for confirmation of the disease. Patients with a family history of PKD need to notify their physician immediately to conclude diagnosis. Symptoms of polycystic kidney disease may be dormant in the earlier stages of development.
If the mother smokes, takes drugs, becomes ill or suffers from stress this can result in premature birth and health problems for the baby such as -: low birth weight, undeveloped organs, problems with sight and hearing which will result in the delay their development. Perinatal – this is the actual time of birth. Babies born before 37 weeks are called premature babies. They may need intensive care which will affect the development. Ex: Lack of oxygen during birth will affect the development of the baby.
• Case study a. The case study introduces some of the problems associated with inadequate prenatal care and the reasons behind it • Insufficient prenatal care a. Ramifications of not receiving prenatal care b. Mentions the cause of higher infant mortality rates and birthing complications • Avoiding suggested criteria a. Doctors pose a list of suggested criteria females should follow b. Failure to comply, result in unexpected results in the delivery room • Access to health care insurance a. Discusses the differences in the availability of proper insurance, which leads to a decrease in available prenatal care. b.
Task 1 Kleinfelters syndrome An error in cell division called nondisjunction which results in a reproductive cell with an abnormal number of chromosomes .Resulting in one of more x chromosomes. Resulting in a total of 47 chromosomes per cell. Downs syndrome An error during anaphase causes problems like trisomy 21 when there is 3 chromosomes for the chromosomes pair 21. Name two conditions /disease caused by gene mutation. Haemophilia Albinism Task 2 (B) Sickle cell anaemia Anaemia Anaemia is a lack of blood cells which is a common symptom of sickle cell anaemia.
Studies show that aortic coarctation is more prevalent in males. This congenital heart defect is typically diagnosed in the infancy period when the aorta does not form correctly as the baby grows and develops in the stages of pregnancy, resulting inadequate blood pressure from different areas of the infant patient. Severe aortic narrowing (coarctation) can subject to inadequate blood supply transporting to the body’s organs and can even conclude in congestive heart failure. Some patients with this heart defect will typically not present symptoms until later on in life due to less significance of the narrowing or rapid post-natal development of collateral circulation that sustains adequate blood supply to the lower body (Matsui, H., Adachi, I., Uemura, H., Gardiner, H., & Ho, S. Y., 2007). The cardiovascular system, sometimes called blood vascular or circulatory system, will be highly disrupted by this congenital heart defect.
In this instance, a Cesarean section birth is made necessary. A Cesarean section, or C-section, birth is a surgical procedure where a baby is delivered by making an incision horizontally across the woman’s stomach and through her uterus. The reason why this type of delivery is restricted to emergencies is because it can have devastating lasting effects on the mother including infertility, death of the mother, and other severe risks. According to “Maternal Mortality and Severe Morbidity Associated with Low-Risk Planned Cesarean Delivery versus Planned Vaginal Delivery at Term,” there are many risks associated with C-section deliveries including hemorrhaging, uterine rupture, and a resulting hysterectomy (Liu et al. 2).
Patients with drug induced lupus have symptoms that affect the joints, heart and lungs. Neonatal Lupus occurs with antibodies cross the placenta in pregnancy from the mother to the child. Children that are born to women who test positive for the antibody SSA/RO are at greater risk of developing lupus, although this occurring is rare. The children who do end up with neonatal lupus will see symptoms like skin rashes and even liver underdevelopment. There is an even rarer chance that they could develop a life-threating heart condition called congenital heart block or
