Interventions such as chest Physiotherapy, assisted cough, and nocturnal noninvasive ventilation may be considered. However these interventions will only increase the quality of life with no effect on survival for patients with Werdnig-Hoffman paralysis or SMA type I. Some of the medical complications associated with these treatments include pulmonary infections, spinal deformities and respiratory failure. Prognosis The prognosis for children with Werdnig-Hoffman paralysis is very poor. Median survival is about 6 months and 95% of children with the disease have died by the age of 18 months.
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
Gain Attention: A personal story about my mother having Diphtheria and Pertussis. II. Relate Topic: The CDC states that some parents are choosing not to inoculate their children because there is no need to. They are wrong, the only reason that these diseases seem like they are gone is due to vaccinating young children.
The Mysterious Tragedy of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is one of the biggest ways for an infant to die. It is not proven exactly what causes SIDS, but risk factors include alcohol, sleeping on their tummy, and maternal smoking. SIDS is an unexpected death of what seems to be a healthy infant, whose death continues to be unidentified even after the autopsy has been completed (Lerner, McClain, & Vance, 2002). Every year the number of infants who die of SIDS is higher compared to those who die of different conditions or diseases (Hauck, Horne, & Moon, 2007). An infant under the age of one is at risk of SIDS and it could affect the infant at anytime it does not discriminate, although there are many risk factors
SIDS Causes The cause (or causes) of SIDS is still unknown. Despite the dramatic decrease in the incidence of SIDS in the United States in recent years, SIDS remains one of the leading causes of death during infancy beyond the first 30 days after birth. It is generally accepted that SIDS may be a reflection of multiple interacting factors. Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, also known as SIDS, is the major “cause of death” among infants ranging from the ages of one month to one year, most occurring between two and four months old. SIDS is determined as the cause of death only after the proper procedures rule out all other reasonable doubt of any other causes of death.
In the control group only two had had such a separation. He also found several of the young thieves (32%) showed 'affectionless psychopathy' (they were not able to care about or feel affection for others). None of the control group were affectionless psychopaths. In a later paper, he reported that 60 children who had spent time apart from their mothers in a tuberculosis sanatorium before the age of 4 showed lower achievement in school. Conclusion: Affectionless
Some long term effects are breathing difficultys,deafness, heart failure, feeding problems and vision problems. The life expectancy of someone with this condition is very low because they barely make it through birth.Of the surviving children, approximately:28% die in first week, 44% die in first month, and 86-91% die in first year. Part 6: The only treatment available for surviving infants is surgery to correct physical defects. Surgery is only attempted when the infant reaches a certain age. There is no cure for Trisomy 13.The only special care needed for this disease is sleepless nights, correct alignment of the body,with having a cleft chin, a baby needs a special nipple for feeding.
All families should be afforded the opportunity that this medical professional enables to her patients. Having policies and procedures in place can help facilitate that process. Laskowski-Jones (2007) felt the same, policies need to be in place, all families should be afforded the same opportunities, before a crisis happens. Laskowski-Jones (2007) discussed within the article the rare opportunity provided being a medical professional. Laskowski-Jones described an accident that her mother died at the scene and critically injured her father.
Doctors often give advice to have skin to skin contact with the newborn may decrease postpartum tension and make an intimate bond between the mother and newborn (Berger, K. S. (2010). The second step for a mother who has postpartum depression is the fathers roll. When a mother gets diagnose with postpartum, the father will play a predominant vital role. The father will engage with the newborn so the newborn will fell the fathers’ energetic care. This will let the newborn to flourish and helps the mother to get the important care she may need to conquer postpartum depression (Berger, K. S. (2010).
To begin with, abortion became legalized in Canada in 1969. Just to think, abortion was illegal 43 years ago. In addition, over 100 000 abortions are performed in Canada per year at a ratio of 30 abortions per 100 live births. In this class there are roughly 15 girls in our If we used this ratio to the girls in this class, about 4-5 girls would abort their babies (after assumptions). Also, more than three million unborn babies have died from abortion in Canada since 1969 when abortion was first decriminalized.
