Turner Syndrome is a rare disorder that only girls can get that is not preventable and parents can’t cause it. In the United States one out of every 2,000 girls have this disorder. A girl could get Turner Syndrome at any age and doctors can find out if a girl has it before they are born. It was discovered in 1938 by Dr. Henry Turner when he was trying to help a group of girls with dwarfism and nothing happened to them after they used the treatment that he gave them. The most common sign of Turner Syndrome is not having the second female sex chromosome making it harder for girls with it to have kids but they could if they take fertility treatment. They can also have a better chance of having heart and kidney abnormalities and ear infections. …show more content…
Girls that have it might be shorter than normal and the average height for someone with Turner Syndrome is 4 feet and 8 inches. Another physical feature that might be affected is that finger nails and toe nails might be longer than normal and they might turn upward. It is common for girls with the disorder might have low set ears or a webbed neck. Other physical features that Turner Syndrome causes are scoliosis and shorter than normal height. Some symptoms that come with this syndrome are extra skin on neck, swelling in hands and feet, heart defects, high blood pressure, and kidney problems. Other sympotoms are drooping eyelids, dry eyes, and abnormal bone developement. Nothing can help this from happenening because it is a genetic condition. The test that they use to see if you have it is a karyotype where they look at how your cells look like. A treatment that girls with Turner Syndrome need is fertility treatment if they want to have a baby. Growth hormone treatment will help girls with it grow to normal height and they need it all the time. They might also have to go to the doctors to make sure everything is okay a lot to live a healthy life. The prognosis for people with Turner Syndrome is good. A big amount of people with it will still be shorter than normal and it will still be hard for girls with it to get preganant but they still
This years theme is “Leadership and Legacy in Georgia History.” Our topic is the Bradley-Turner Family. The Bradley-Turner family has been very influential in Columbus and Georgia’s history.
Turner syndrome results in a monosomie of chromosome X and is the only viable monosomie known. One in every 5,000 newborns can inherit this disease. The mental abilities are not affected, although they are usually sterile owing to underdeveloped sex
In the film Regarding Henry, Henry Turner depicts a more complex Id and Superego, that is capable of having positive and negative qualities on each side. Through complex character development throughout the film, Turner creates a two sided Id and Superego. After seemingly changing personality traits, due to a freak accident, Turner’s views on life are changed after a complete memory loss.
Trisomy 13 is a very terrible disease to have. The disease causes many deformities. You would have a very deformed body. The disease happens when there is a third thirteenth chromosome. Instead of the normal two, there would be three. The symptoms are heart, brain, spinal cord, and bone abnormalities, also a hole in the iris lip and pallet. Along with those are small head, eyes, and lower jaw, then there is close-set eyes that can fuse into one and low-set ears.
Noonan syndrome is a genetic birth defect that results in many physical deformities and possible developmental handicaps. Noonan Syndrome affects male children while Turner Syndrome affects females. This paper will focus solely on Noonan Syndrome, which affects 1 in approximately 2,000 people. Complications include but are not limited to: short stature, widely spaced eyes, some form of heart disease, and stunted puberty or infertility. Noonan syndrome is a biochemical disorder that occurs before a person is born and is formed through the genetic makeup of the parents that result in that of their offspring.
Juries specifically in the United States serve a very large political significance. Majority of the time they determine the fate of those on trial. Juries are used to protect the rights of the people and work hand in hand with the judge to determine the outcome of cases to the best of their ability. Working hand in hand means the Judge determines what laws are applied to each specific case, while the jury works to decide on the facts. Jurors are held to a high degree due to the fact they must focus on fact, remain impartial, and be honest. Very much power is given to juries in the court of law which in turn shows that large political significance juries hold. While juries hold a large significance politically, one of arguably their strongest weapons is the use of jury nullification. Jury nullification refers to right of juries to nullify, or refuse to apply law in criminal cases despite facts that support a finding that the law was violated. It is an extremely powerful component of law because a defendant could have all the facts and evidence pointing to their guilt, but if the jury feels a certain way about a law or situation, then they have the right to pass on all the facts presented and acquit a defendant that in most cases would be found guilty. Also they could use if they found a specific law being applied to the defendant as an unjust law or the way a law is applied. But largely in the past, specifically during the Jim Crow era, it was used as a way to acquit those

The results indicate that their baby is a female with Turner Syndrome. This condition is caused by a missing X chromosome and results in short stature, ovarian failure, and medical problems involving the heart, thyroid glands, and kidneys. Some of these conditions can be treated and managed with great success. The question that arises after diagnoses

The chromosomal abnormalities include turner's disease, laron dwarfism, noonan syndrome, sinotina wiley syndrome, russell xifushi, mutation / deletion of the short stature homeobox-containing gene, and skeletal dysplasia.
This syndrome is tested at birth with fluorescent in situ hybridization or FISH. With blood samples, they test the blood for the deletion of chromosome 7. FISH checks if many as of 22-26 genes are deleted. Because there is no cure for this syndrome, you will most likely have physical therapy and early education to help early development symptoms like speech delays and heart problems. This syndrome is not caused by environmental factors, it is completely genetic and NOT the parents fault.
A person that has Down syndrome may have some physical problems or disabilities. Some common physical problems are: short necks, poor muscle tone, a small head and an overall smaller body. Approximately one third of babies born with Down syndrome have heart defects, most of which are now
Crime is overwhelmingly present in popular culture, which encompasses the ideas, perspectives, attitudes, images, and other phenomena within the mainstream of a given culture. Behaviors become crimes through a process of social construction. Popular culture reinforces the construction of crime by increasing public awareness certain criminal behavior and associating certain attitudes with crime. In Western culture, for example, sex crimes are perceived as particularly malicious offenses committed by sick and perhaps sociopathic individuals whose actions are inhuman and beyond redemption. The attitude towards individuals who have committed sex crimes, however, is the product of a socially constructed panic stimulated by media depictions.
The Book of Job is one of many books in the Bible whose story is independent of the central plotline seen throughout the Bible. However, the Book of Job contains an importance and purpose for being placed in this religious text. While the Book of Job does not contribute to the central plotline of the Bible, it gives an important insight of the Hebrew God whose character and powers are often questioned by mankind. In addition, it deals with the problem of when justly people, in this case, Job, suffers unjustly and examines the response of the sufferer. The Book of Job is an interesting tale that explores the idea of just characters suffering unjustly and the character of the Hebrew God that many still follow today.
