Fred and Mary have been married for 52 years. Throughout the years, they have been a very active and healthy couple. They have always tried to eat healthy, exercise, and see their doctor routinely. After Fred retired, he and Mary began playing tennis with a group at their local country club. They particularly enjoyed the doubles tennis and even participated in some senior tournaments. In one particularly exciting match, Mary fell and injured her wrist. She wasn’t in too much pain at the time, but by the next morning her wrist was swollen, bruised, and painful to move. She decided to see a doctor to have it x-rayed. The x-ray revealed that her wrist had a small fracture. The doctor also noted that her bones didn’t look quite as dense as they should on the x-ray film. The doctor explained to Mary that it is possible she had developed osteoporosis. Mary never liked to take pills and so she did not take an estrogen replacement therapy after menopause. In addition, she was now 2 inches…

- If the child showed a cleft lip through ultrasound analysis and the parents then started blaming each other (because Sue is a smoker and Tim was born with the defect), how would you counsel them? Sue and Tim were referred for genetic counseling after they inquired about the risk of having a child with a cleft lip. Tim was born with a mild cleft lip that was surgically repaired. He expressed concern that his future children could be at risk for a more severe form of clefting. Sue was in her 12th week of pregnancy, and both were anxious about the pregnancy because Sue had had a difficult time conceiving. The couple stated that they would not consider terminating the pregnancy for any reason but wanted to be prepared for the possibility of having a child with a birth defect. The genetic counselor took a three-generation family history from both Sue and Tim and found that Tim was the only person to have had a cleft lip. Sues family history showed no cases of cleft lip. Tim and Sue had several misconceptions about clefting, and the genetic counselor spent time explaining how cleft lips occur and some of the known causes of this birth defect. The following list summarizes the counselors discussion with the couple. Fathers, as well as mothers, can pass on genes that cause clefting. Some clefts are caused by environmental factors, meaning that the condition didnt come from the father or the mother. One child in 33 is born with some sort of birth defect. One in 700 is born with a cleft-related birth defect. Most clefts occur in boys; however, a girl can be born with a cleft. If a person (male or female) is born with a cleft, the chances of that person having a child with a cleft, given no other obvious factor, is 7 in 100. Some clefts are related to identifiable syndromes. Of those, some are autosomal dominant. A person with an autosomal dominant gene has a 50% probability of passing the gene to an offspring. Many clefts run in families even when there does not seem to be any identifiable syndrome present. Clefting seems to be related to ethnicity, occurring most often among Asians, Latinos, and Native Americans (1 : 500); next most often among persons of European ethnicity (1 : 700); and least often among persons of African origin (1 : 1,000). A cleft condition develops during the fourth to the eighth week of pregnancy. After that critical period, nothing the mother does can cause a cleft. Sometimes a cleft develops even before the mother is aware that she is pregnant. Women who smoke are twice as likely to give birth to a child with a cleft. Women who ingest large quantities of vitamin A or low quantities of folic acid are more likely to have children with a cleft. In about 70% of cases, the fetal face is clearly visible using ultrasound. Facial disorders have been detected at the 15th gestational week of pregnancy. Ultrasound can be precise and reliable in diagnosing fetal craniofacial conditions.arrow_forwardFred and Mary have been married for 52 years.

- Twenty-year-old Kevin groaned and clutched his abdomen as he lay on the emergencyroom gurney. He had just been diagnosed with acute appendicitis and was waiting to betaken to the operating room (OR). Although he desperately wanted the pain to stop,Kevin was terrified of having general anesthesia. He hoped his fear wasn’t obvious to hisolder brother Cole, who was finishing medical school and thought he knew everything.“Hang in there,” Cole said, for what seemed like the eighteenth time. “I’m sure they’ll getyou upstairs as soon as they can. They don’t want that thing to burst.”Kevin grunted. “I know…but does that anesthesia stuff work all the time? How can I notwake up when someone’s slicing my gut open?”Cole assumed a professorial air, and Kevin wished he’d kept his mouth shut. However,Cole didn’t get a chance to say anything before an aide arrived to take Kevin to the OR.In the OR, someone placed a mask over Kevin’s face and when he blinked, he suddenlyfound himself in a hospital room…arrow_forwardTwenty-year-old Kevin groaned and clutched his abdomen as he lay on the emergencyroom gurney.

The day after finals Shannon wakes up feeling very sick with a cold, sore throat and muscle aches, probably the flu. Her father says the stress from finals probably caught up with her and she just needs to rest. a.

How would the stages progress over the first 3 days of her illness? e. If we do a blood smear test, what changes in cell levels do you expect to see?arrow_forwardAfter hearing this information, should Sue and Tim feel that their chances of having a child with a cleft lip are increased over that of the general population?

She lives on Social Security income and her deceased husband's corporate pension and is financially secure. Though she is in relatively good health, she has been having increasing difficulty walking for the past several years, which has been attributed to peripheral vascular disease. She complains of weakness and pain in her legs and a loss of feeling in her fingers and feet. She also suffers from occasional constipation. She is happiest just doing her activities of daily living, such as preparing breakfast, lunch, and a late afternoon snack, then relaxing in her living room until it is time for bed. She has a good relationship with her adult children, who have been discussing with her the possibility of hiring a visiting nurse as her mobility declines.
