Critical Congenital Heart Defects are abnormalities of the heart structure that are present at birth. These occur because of incomplete or abnormal development of the fetus’ heart. These defects can cause severe mortality within the newborn stage (Goldstein, 2013, p.1). Several are known to be linked to genetic disorders such as Down syndrome and others are thought to be linked to environmental factors that women can be exposed to while pregnant. The cause of most CCHD’s is unknown. Symptoms
Wave: The generator of ultrasonic wave is nothing but an oscillator, which can generate these high frequency waves. The ultrasonic waves can be produced by the following methods. a) Magnetostriction Generator b) Piezoelectric or Ultrasound Generator a) Magnetostriction Effect This effect is very useful in generating ultrasonic waves are known as Magnetostriction effect. This effect was first discovered by Joule in 1847 & subsequently used by G.W Pierre in an oscillator

been shown to be effective at diagnosing various conditions and diseases in the patient. The way that this occurs is the individual is placed into a movable bed that slides into a machine. This is a large magnet with hydrogen protons that can go through the body to see different aspects of the internal organs and systems. The images that are uncovered can tell health care professionals about the extent of a condition impacting the body. This is when they can determine the best treatment options moving
affect both maternal well being and fetal outcome. OC usually resolves forty eight hours after delivery (Mays, 2010). This essay will examine the functions of the liver and discuss the role of bile acids in OC. The pathophysiology of OC will be explored. The role of the midwife within a multidisciplinary team, alongside the physical care that is offered to women suffering from OC will be discussed. Finally the use of fetal surveillance to predict and prevent fetal demise will be evaluated. A case
BSTRACT: Through this paper, I would like to address the heinous act of female foeticide practiced at an alarming rate in various Indian states. I would like to focus on how the phenomenon of selectively eliminating female foetus is not dying away, but rather is emerging as a new disturbing trend. I even wish to highlight how with rapid advancement, technologies such as ultrasound and pre-natal diagnosis are being misused in order to find the gender of the infant. What I wish to mainly examine is
ex. Radiation – in small amount sun rays it causes no damage, but in large amount like in cancer treatment, serious fetal defects or death can occur. b) timing of teratogen before implantation = zygote is aborted or is unaffected organogenesis – vulnerable to injury Last trimester – decreased harm (except syphilis and toxoplasmosis these infections can cause abnormalities in organs that were originally formed normally). c) teratogens affinity for specific tissue Lead – attacks
