TERATOGENS – IS ANY FACTOR, CHEMICAL OR PHYSICAL, THAT ADVERSELY AFFECTS THE FERTILIZED OVUM, EMBRYO, OR FETUS. EFFECTS OF TERATOGENS ON A FETUS:
1) depends on the:
a) strength of the teratogen
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).

i) Early infection is associated with fetal death.
j) Infection in late pregnancy may cause severe anemia and congenital heart disease.
k) SYPHILIS
Risk for intrauterine or congenital syphilis
Protection by cytotrophoblast layer of the chorionic villi is only up to 16-18th wks AOG
Mgt:
o early screening o Antibiotic: benzathine penicillin in the 1st trimester
Teratogenic effects: if left untreated beyond 18th week of gestation o Deafness o Cognitive challenge o Osteochondritis o Extreme rhinitis(sniffles) o Syphilitic rash o Primary teeth -> oddly shaped > Hutchinson teeth o Fetal death
l) LYME DISEASE
A multisystem disease

Using Ngugi wa’Thiongo’s “Decolonising the Mind” from The Norton Reader, you will commit analysis of the structure of the essay and how the author’s text strategically affects and impacts an audience. Your analysis must be grounded in the original text, and you must teach me HOW the structure works. You must have a provable thesis that sets up analysis, claims that can be proven, evidence to support those claims, and analysis of how the evidence does the thing you’ve claimed AND why the way that works helps to build the case for your thesis.
First type of risk could be pelvic infections which is basically the infection of the woman's organs of her reproductive system. This is usually common once after legal abortion is over with. This affects many
a. Termination of pregnancy and expulsion of an embryo or of a fetus that is incapable of survival.
During pregnancy that are existing factors that can affect the development of the foetus and that can bring health and other problems when the child is born, which the child can carry for the rest of her/his life, these

On Jan.7, Russell High School hosted Basketballs for Kawabunga , the fundraiser helped raise money for children with autism and fund after school activities. This year, Kawabunga raised $668 and furthermore, the fundraiser included 2 basketball games, one with alumni students from each school and one for the senior boys basketball. These alumni included Former RHS students included Jon Ricard, Brooke Morningstar and Beth Hayton, all three were heavily involved in school sports.
“The expulsion of a fetus from the uterus by natural causes before it is able to survive independently” (Oxford University Press).
Abortion refers to an instance where a pregnancy is ended prematurely by removal or killing of the unborn child, often referred to as the embryo or fetus, from the uterus. Despite the fact most abortions are induced or forced, there are cases where it occurs due to natural causes, for instance, diseases and other natural effects in which case it would be referred to as a miscarriage. An instance of abortion that may be purposely caused is referred to as an induced abortion and sometimes often called an induced miscarriage. However, most references to abortion often refer to the case where the abortion is induced or caused through a process that would interfere with the normal growth of the fetus while still in the embryo. On the contrary, the removal of the fetus that would allow it to flourish outside the uterus is not equated to abortion but rather referred to as a late termination of pregnancy. When allowed by legislation, abortion could turn out to be the most frequently done medical procedures in the developed world. However, if done in an inappropriate manner, it could claims the life of both the fetus and the
Damaging your organs can cause you to never have kids again. Side effects and complications
Teratogens refers to any environmental agent, such as dose, heredity, negative influences and age that can cause damage during the prenatal period (Berk, 2014). Serious defects can occur during the embryonic period where the “ground work is laid for all body structures and organs” (Berk, 2014, p. 63). During the fetal period teratogens can do minimal damage; however, organs such as brain, eyes, ears, teeth and genitals can still be affected (Berk, 2014).
closely proceeded by the expulsion of the embryo or fetus as a spontaneous death of a human fetus during the first 83 days of miscarriage, the induced expulsion of a human fetus, or the expulsion of a fetus by a wild animal often due to
A parvovirus infection, also called fifth disease, is an illness caused by a virus. If you develop this illness when you are pregnant, there is a small chance that the virus may pass to your unborn baby and cause serious problems. Most pregnant women who get fifth disease have only a mild illness from it, and their babies do not have any problems caused by the infection. However, in a few cases, the baby of a woman infected with parvovirus may develop problems, including a low number of red blood cells (anemia). This usually happens during the first half of the pregnancy. Rarely, the woman will have a miscarriage.
