She didn’t have any of the pregnancy symptoms before 8 weeks, but after 8 weeks, she started having morning sickness, and her breast felt sore. Her appetite has also changed. She lost 5 pounds at the first trimester of pregnancy because her stomach felt sick. Gina felt much better after the 4th month of pregnancy and gained almost 20 pounds at the end of her pregnancy. Gina knew that prenatal care should start before getting pregnant, but she did not know the medical system in the U.S.A.
Child mortality – deaths that occur between the first birthday and 12 years of age. Colostrum – concentrated form of breast milk, rich in antibodies. It is produced on the first few days after birth. Congenital abnormality – malformed body parts (either external or internal)
It occurs approximately 9 in 10,000 live births and 1 in 365 live births in women who give birth in their mid thirties or higher. There are three types or genetic make ups of Down Syndrome: trisomy 21, mosaicism, and translocation of a chromosome. The most common is trsomy 21. That is when there are three number 21 chromosomes, as opposed to the normal two. This occurs in about 95% of the Down Syndrome births.
3) Cardiac muscle is the main muscle type in the heart. About 7 weeks into the development of an embryo, cells called rhabdomyoblasts (which will eventually form skeletal uctivemuscles) begin to form. These are the cells that can develop into RMS. Because this is a cancer of embryonal cells, it is much more common in children, although it does sometimes occur in adults. Common sites of RMS include head and neck region accounting 35-40% of cases that invade of near structure that grown rapidly, and it is more common in teen .
In the United Kingdom cystic fibrosis is a very common disease, and the cystic fibrosis trust claims that around 8,000 people suffer from it in the United Kingdom. The cystic fibrosis trust also claims that over two million people in the United Kingdom are carriers of the gene that causes the disease. They estimated that around one in every twenty five people carry this defective gene. In the United Kingdom causasian people with cystic fibrosis have a life expectancy of around thirty one years old. But with a baby born today with cystic fibrosis the chances are that they could live much longer,due to the improvements which are being made medically.
There is no clear cause on why ASD happens. The following genes are associated with ASD; ASD1, ASD3, NKX2-5 and GATA4, In some cases the tendency to develop an ASD may be genetic. ASD accounts for 10% of all heart defects, making them the third most common. It affects 3,000 babies per year in the United States and is almost seen twice as frequently
Normally it is noticed first in trouble feeding the infant due to issues with muscle control used to suck. Children typically begin to start walking between the ages of three and five. One in every 12,000 to 20,000 individuals are born with AS. Testing to confirm a case is generally done by a blood test to determine if the gene is active or imprinted and this test is known as methylation testing. Most people with Angelman syndrome have confirmed cases from this test and the cost ranges about three hundred dollars.
Abortion is the termination of the entire pregnancy yet selective reduction is performed to improve the survival rate of the remaining fetuses and also the mother. Selective reduction is performed early in the pregnancy, normally between weeks 9 and 12, it is most often performed when there are four or more fetuses present, can be used to reduce triplets to twins, and with a fetus with severe defects (www.webmd.com). Infants born part of a multiple pregnancy are at increased risk of prematurity, cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, slow language development, behavioral difficulties, chronic lung disease, and death (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013). These risks play an important role in a mother’s decision to utilize selective reduction. Maternal risks of a multi-fetal pregnancy include hypertension, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes, and postpartum hemorrhage (Multifetal Pregnancy Reduction, 2013).
Blue top tubes are generally used for coagulation tests such as the PTT and PT, and lavender top tubes are best for tests such as the complete blood count, sedimentation rate, and the BNP. After choosing the correct tubes and gathering the remaining supplies, it is time to begin the actual phlebotomy procedure. Upon walking in the patient’s room, a phlebotomist should correctly identify the patient by visually checking the hospital bracelet and verbally confirming the name and date of birth. Then, the phlebotomist can begin looking at a patient’s arm to determine which size needle to use to draw blood into certain tubes. To begin, you should choose an arm and tie your tourniquet 2- 3 inches above the anticubital fossa (the bend of the arm).
You must be immunized within one week to four months prior to exposure for the vaccine to be effective. The vaccine is composed of inactivated organisms from several virus strains with scientist attempt to include the most recent mutation. Vaccines are typically 67-92 percent effective. Although most people recover fully from the flu, some develop serious complications, including life threatening conditions such as pneumonia. About 20,000 people in the United States die from flu complications each year and thousands more need to be hospitalized prior to recovery.
