Is more frequently in females then in males (Transition: So you might be wondering what the symptoms of Dandy Walker are?) II. Most common symptom is Hydrocephalus and most severe A. According to the Hydrocephalus Foundation Hydrocephalus is an abnormal build up of the brain’s normal cerebrospinal fluid 1. This build up can cause the head to increase in size.
Shani Hunter Ethics 04-05-10 What would you do? It is not enough to share positive results on actionable higher risks with research participants Genetic testing usually uncovers many more cases of good news, such as absence of genetic abnormalities. If both the elevated as well as the normal risks of disease were communicated to all research participants, most of the results that are divulged to research subjects would be about non-elevated risks—a relief, or at least a cause not to worry. Ethically, this approach may be easier to defend or advocate instead of communication limited to the high-risk findings. When a person decides to become a research participant, they are putting their health into the researches hands.
11/02/11 Reflection of Service Learning St. Baldrick’s Event At the St. Baldrick’s event I learned about the many effects of many different types of cancers. This experience influenced me in many different ways. It made me want to give help to everyone because anyone could need it but sometimes you can’t physically tell how. It made me feel like offering help to everyone. It made me happy for the survivors but also sad that they had to be put through such a traumatic life experience.
Four studies mentioned contraindications to using heparin to treat burns. These contraindications were bleeding diathesis, bleeding history, active bleeding or associated trauma with potential bleeding, active intestinal ulcer, thrombocytopenia, liver disease, renal disorders, or allergy to heparin. Conclusion:There is no strong evidence in the 19 abstracted articles to suggest that heparin should be used in the treatment of burn injury on account of its non-anticoagulant properties. However, since the lack of evidence is largely a function of the poor quality of the articles, further research is needed to investigate the potential uses of heparin in the treatment of burn
1.4, 7.4 The benefits to working in a diverse workforce is that it gives me confidence to talk to people that are different age, gender, race, religion etc. I can learn things that I previously wouldn’t be able to do if we were all the exact same. The different ideas can impact directly on the way I work and can help me to become more efficient. Working in a diverse workforce means that I need to remember the organisational procedures and legal requirements regarding discrimination legislation in the work place, I need to respect others and their points of view. 1.5, 7.2 It is very important to be aware of any serious issues a person is having as their workload may be affecting them.
Phenotype and Diagnosis are not synonymous. The fact that FASD has many phenotypes does not exclude it as a diagnosis. Not understanding this has encouraged myths about FAS. It is a myth that FAS is the most severe/worst form of FASD. The most that can be said is that some with FAS may be the most neurologically affected [27%].These are the facts 1- only 10%-15% of those diagnosed with FASD will have the facial features [FAS] 2- only approximately 27% of individuals with the facial features [FAS] will have an I.Q.
Journal Article Critique The article contained information regarding the birth defect spina bifida. Spina bifida is a birth affect that affects the central nervous system. When babies are born with this defect their backbone and spinal canal do not close before birth. This defect affects genes, brain development, and cognitive behavior. It has been named the most complex birth defect compatible with survival.
Regardless of how long it goes on status epilepticus can always be potentially damaging. Status epilepticus can cause brain damage, severe retardation, and sometimes even death. Status epilepticus can be brought about just like the average seizure regardless of type or by an infection of the brain, such as meningitis or encephalitis. The most common cause is an extremely low or sudden drop in the amount of medication in blood level. Thankfully most of the time this can be stopped successfully with a person experiencing no permanent damage.
Systematic error in physical sciences commonly occurs with the measuring instrument having a zero error. A zero error is when the initial value shown by the measuring instrument is a non-zero value when it should be zero.1 Systematic error can be caused by various factors that constantly occur which is why they are difficult to steer clear of. The purpose of this experiment is to get acquainted with the effects of systematic errors and the different natures in which they exist leading to the inability to negate errors or losses for further reference future labs.

It is a surgical emergency that most commonly affects infants between five and nine months of age. SOURCE However, neonatal intussusception is a very rare entity and is not well described. It represents 3% of the causes of neonatal intestinal obstruction and 0.3% of all cases of intussusception. 1, 2 The presentation of neonatal intussusception can be vague and misleading due to the rarity of the disease and the non-specificity of its symptomatology3. It is usually in the form of vomiting and abdominal pain that can mimic necrotizing enterocolitis and may lead to delay in diagnosis.
