Shingles does not usually occur in babies, but if a baby is exposed to chicken pox earlier in life and months later the babies immune system is compromised that baby can develop shingles. 3.According to Patrick Guilfoille the same Varicella Zoster Virus is responsible for both chicken pox and shingles. Shingles is the reactivation of the virus in the affected person. The reactivation occurs when that individual’s immune system is suppressed. The link between the baby’s present condition and the three-year-old sisters is that, the three year old might have transferred the virus to the six month old through touch, coughing or sneezing.
Although this particular condition is somewhat unusual in babies, the lesions indicate that the child must have experienced a common childhood illness earlier. Which one? 3. The mother says that, to her knowledge, the baby has no had this common childhood illness, but that his 3-year-old sister had it four months ago, when the baby was 2 months old. Explain the link between the girl’s illness and the baby’s condition.
Pregnant Addicts 1 Pregnant drug addicts should be prosecuted because when using drugs while pregnant can cause birth defect, behavioral problems, and addiction. Using drugs not only harms the baby it also harms the carrier. Hundreds of babies are affected each year, because their parents chose to use while being pregnant. Birth Defects: Babies that are subjected to drugs have a higher rate of being born with a birth defect. Birth Defects enable the child to be fully developed.
I will also tell you about ways to help to deal with the problems that can go along with this birth defect such as identity problems. The sex of a child is determined at conception. The mother's egg contains an X chromosome and the father's sperm contains either an X or a Y chromosome. The X and Y chromosomes determine the gender of the child. During the process where the fetal tissue is to become male or female is disrupted, ambiguous genitalia may develop.
These symptoms reflect that the baby has shingles. 2. Although this particular condition is somewhat unusual in babies, the lesions indicate that the child must have experienced a common childhood illness earlier. Which one? Answer: Although this particular condition is somewhat unusual in babies, the lesions indicate that the child must have experienced a common childhood illness, which is “Chickenpox” earlier.
Unit 2 Health and Human development- Chapter 6: Key term definitions Amniotic fluid – the fluid surrounding he embryo/foetus, which acts as a protective barrier. Antenatal - occurring before birth ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) – a condition which is a pattern of impulsiveness, inattention and overactivity. Autoimmune disease – the immune system attacking and destroying healthy body cells. Cephalocaudal development – development that occurs from the head downwards. Child mortality – deaths that occur between the first birthday and 12 years of age.
There are many factors that lead to developmental delays in children. These factors are divided into genetic influences and environmental influences. Children who come from households with low socioeconomic status are more at risk for developmental delays (Dunlap, 51-53). Prenatal (before birth), perinatal (during birth), and postnatal factors (after birth) also play a role in these delays. For example, an infant may be born prematurely, be exposed to drugs in the womb, or experience maternal deprivation.
The baby may form problems such as heart defects chest infections. Illnesses such as meningitis can cause epilepsy and hearing problems whilst asthma is long term and the baby may be affected for life. Disabilities have a strong affect on the development and health of a baby. Babies with genetic defects such as down’s syndrome or cystic fibrosis can have delayed development on the baby physically, socially, emotionally and intellectually. A disability may not be noticed at birth but may become apparent when there is a noticeable delay in development by parents or doctors etc.
A learning disability happens when a persons brain development is affected, either before they are born, during their birth or in early childhood. Several factors can affect brain development including – ( the mother becoming ill during pregnancy. ( problems during the birth that may stop enough oxygen getting to the babies brain. ( the unborn baby developing certain genes. ( the parents passing certain genes to the unborn baby that make having a learning disability more likely.
Breast implants might result in oddly shaped breasts. And post-surgical infection is a risk, as is severe psychiatric injury. Cosmetic surgery is and can be clearly potentially dangerous. If things go wrong someone can end up disfigured or even dead. Teens often have plastic surgery to improve physical characteristics, they feel are awkward or flawed, that if left uncorrected, may affect them well into adulthood.
