For example infants that are born severely mentally retarded share some of the same qualities with anencephalic infants such as lack of motor skills and bowel or bladder control. There are also concerns with using the organs of anencephalic infants like if the organs such as the heart, liver, and kidneys will successfully continue to properly function. When an anencephalic infant is born there is some autonomic brain function and some reflexes however the organs can’t be removed until the infant has been certified dead. There is a need to save infants lives that are dying from liver, renal, and cardiac diseases but is it right to take the life of an existing infant because of their abnormality? What makes one patients life more valuable than another and more importantly the infant with anencephaly has a moral right to life.
It is well described in infants, with an incidence of 0.1 to 0.4 %, however it is not fully established in neonates.1, 2 In fewer than 10% of the cases, a surgical lead point can be determined as a plausible aetiology. Cecal duplication as a lead-point of neonatal intussusception is extremely rare. To our knowledge, very few cases of cecal duplication as the cause of intussusception in neonates were reported in medical literature to date. Case report:
Even one serious side effect in a million doses of vaccinations cannot be justified if there is no benefit from the vaccination itself. If there were no vaccines, there would be many more serious cases of disease, and in return, more serious side effects and more deaths. Comparing the risk from disease with the risk from the vaccines can give us an idea of the benefits we get from vaccinating our children. The fact is that a child is far more likely to be seriously injured by one of these diseases than by any vaccine. While any serious injury or death caused by vaccines is too many, it is also clear that the benefits of vaccination greatly outweigh the slight risk, and that many, many more injuries and deaths would occur without vaccinations.
Neonatal lupus occurs in infants whose mothers have lupus (New York Times Health Guide). When a pregnant woman has lupus, she can pass it on to her son or daughter, and if the child gets neonatal lupus he or she could have skin problems, rashes, liver problems, or low blood cell counts, and some could even have serious heart defects (New York Times Health Guide). The only good news about neonatal lupus is that it is very rare, so the chances of having a child with it are very low (New York Times Health
Blood clots are when obese patients are more than likely to develop blood clots in their legs. However the blood clots is dangerous as long as they stay in the legs. The major problem is when the blood clots make its way to the lungs. Some patients who smoke increase the risk of this condition. Lap-band has two dangerous side effects which is band erosion and acid reflux.
Each pair of chromosomes includes one chromosome from the mother and one from the father, but your genetic pattern and development may be very different to your parents. Genetic can effect development if the genes are mutated or diagnosed with an illness causing the child or individual to be slightly different from the norm in society. An example of this would be: Asthma Asthma is a common lung disorder that causes the airways to tighten and contain thick mucus which makes it harder for the person with the disease to breathe or respire, symptoms of asthma could be coughing and wheezing as well as the individual having shortness of breath. Asthma is not fully understood on how it is present but only genetic inheritance diet and pollution can be blamed as they may also contribute to causing this disease. Even though this disease is very common this may make a individual different from society.
There was now a smaller chance that people would come in contact with dangerous microbes early in life, when the infection was milder and maternal antibodies offered temporary protection,” (Oshinsky 31) resulting in more appearances of polio. Polio, also known as infantile paralysis, had the potential to cause partial or full paralysis in a child. However, this contagious disease had different severities. For example, in less severe cases of polio, a child might have discomfort or stiffness of the limbs of their body accompanied with a fever or a skin rash. Polio was passed on through direct contact with an infected child, infected mucus from coughing and sneezing, and feces.
The parents that pass these genes likely don’t have the disease themselves. Cystic fibrosis mostly affects the lungs, pancreas, liver, intestines, sinuses, and sex organs. Mucus is a substance made by the lining of some body tissues. Mucus keeps the lining of certain organs moist and it prevents the organs from drying out or getting infected. Normally, mucus is a slippery,
Symptoms and complications of SCD are different for each person and can range from mild to severe. The reason that infants don’t show symptoms at birth is because baby or fetal hemoglobin protects the red blood cells from sickling. When the infant if around 4 to 5 months of age, the baby or fetal hemoglobin is replaced by adult hemoglobin and the cells begin to sickle. : (Falvo, 2011 p.
If the vagus nerve is injured during surgery, gastric emptying may not occur. Uncontrolled diabetes is also a common cause of
