Williams Syndrome

Williams Syndrome is a genetic disorder that happens in the fetus stage and after birth. This syndrome is caused by the deletion of 26-28 genes in chromosome 7. Symptoms include facial deformities, trouble speaking, and the narrowing of the Aorta with many more symptoms.

Jon Owens was born on March 1, 1960. Jon’s parents feared of having a child with mental retardation. Jon family members are mom is a psychotherapist and dad is a psychiatrist.

Jon was in a crib all his life. Jon lived in a nursing home for 6 ½ years until his caregiver died. Jon’s parents had received a call to make decisions on Jon’s care. Jon was diagnosed with having Down’s syndrome. Jon was more than a little slow, but mentally retarded. Jon had limited intellectual and physical abilities.

In contemporary America, the media is known for routinely showing images of the ‘normal’ body of the so-called ‘regular’ people, and those interpretations are disseminated all over society. Not only does the popular media impose those idea repeatedly, they consistently display women and men as products to be sold. There are some who shamed those for even displaying such bodies to begin with like the disabled woman, Jes Sachse, a twenty-five year old Canadian who garnered attention by mirroring American Apparel ads of beautiful, but racy images of other women. The difference between her and those women is her genetic disorder called Freeman-Sheldon syndrome, which is a condition that deforms areas such as the face, hands, and feet. She ultimately gained popularity,

In light of these performance problems, PROS denied Kincade's transfer after discussing the situation with Wagner Williams. Quinones Aff. ¶ 13. Elliott Williams also forwarded the above e-mail to Donna Boudreaux (PROS Human Resources Manager) on September 6, 2013 and then met with her to discuss strategies for improving Kincade's performance.

Williams Syndrome(WS) is considered as a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by a contiguous gene deletion of about 26 genes from the long arm of chromosome 7(Peoples et al., 2000). Since it had been first aware by J.C.P. Williams in 1961(Lenhoff, Wang, Greenberg & Bellugi, 1997), Williams Syndrome has drawn more attention in last 40 years. the incidence rate is approximately 1 in 2000 and diagnosed generally at 6.4 years old (Morris, Demsey, Leonard, Dilts & Blackburn, 1988). People with WS usually show a developmental delay at the early age and are affected all life long. Williams Syndrome is characterised by some abnormalities in physical, behavioural, and cognitive.

Prader-Willi syndrome, (PWS) is a genetic disorder that occurs in about one in every eight thousand births in the United States. PWS occurs when there is a defect or deletion in the fifteenth chromosome from either maternal or paternal origins. Individuals diagnosed with PWS need enhanced supervision to address the constant need to over eat. Current research identifies that the paternal chromosome presents with significant maladaptive behaviors. Behavioral issues commonly known to the disorder differ dependent on the origin of the parental chromosome.

I wish that I could say that the scenario in this weeks Case assignment doesn’t happen in the American Heathcare system, but I found evidence that proves it happens more often than not. A study was conducted at two Veteran Affairs facilities, the study includes African American and White patients. The African-American patients reported 70% vs 26% racism and 73% vs 53% classism when compared to the White patients, both groups of patients were seen in the same orthopedic surgeon’s office (Hausmann, Hannon, Kresevic, Hanusa, Kwoh, and Ibrahim, 2011). In this essay we will look at how Dr. Williams’ behavior influenced the outcome of his patient’s treatment.

Jenny reports that she was born and raised in Vincennes, Indiana. She reports that she was raised by her biological parents. She reports that she has two older sisters, and one older brother. One of her older sisters has passed away. Her other two siblings live out of state. Jenny reports that she grew up Catholic, and went to Rivet High School. She stated that she is not as involved with her church as she used to be.

Dr. Daniel Hale Williams was born on January 18, 1856 in Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania. He was one of the first physicans to perform an open-heart surgery in the United States and founded a hospital with an interracial staff.

Within the couple of hours of my niece Janelle being born, doctors were concerned how little she was and her slow mobility. Unaware of her condition in Brownsville, she was sent to Driscoll Hospital in Corpus Christie within a couple of weeks. While being in the care at the hospital, medical doctors diagnosed Janelle with Prader-Willi Syndrome. As you can imagine, so many questions and thoughts went through her parent’s minds. To start, what is Prader-Willi Syndrome (PWS)? According to Genetic Home Reference, PWS is a complex genetic condition that affects many parts of the body, such as muscle tone, insatiable appetite, intellectual impairment, and learning disabilities. Which Janelle experiences these abnormalities and we have to take precautionary actions on a daily basis. It is a rare disorder present at birth and we can do nothing to prevent this and

In conclusion, genetic disorders mutate the DNA and in some cases, delete portions of it. Williams Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects the genetic material on the seventh chromosome. The locus of 7q11.23 has over 25 genes deleted, which is why Williams Syndrome has so many implications and symptoms. Distinct facial features and facial structure characterize Williams Syndrome. It can also be marked by severe cardiovascular difficulties and other issues that make life quite difficult for the person suffering from this disorder. Williams Syndrome also affects the mental capacity and logical thinking of the brain. This implies that daily tasks and schoolwork can be greatly affected and require special care. Williams Syndrome is also considered

Genetic traits is an inherited characteristic often passed on to children from their parents from generation to generation. Some traits good, such as being smart, being tall, or being athletic. Others not so good, like cancer or sickness in the family, more specifically breast cancer in a family of woman. Cancer is a disease caused by an uncontrolled division of abnormal cells in a part of the body. No one really knows how or where cancer started, but Mrs. Terry Tempest Williams might know the cause of her family’s on going case of breast cancer. According to Terry Tempest Williams-who was part of a Mormon family that had roots in Utah-there had been a series of atomic testing in Nevada between the years of 1951 through 1962. These testing,
