roots; the leaves of radishes have less relative use than cabbage. Karpechenko desired to create a superior, radish-cabbage hybrid featuring by the leaves of cabbage and the roots of radishes (Pierce 257). Through painstaking experimentation stable aneuploidy was eventually achieved. Finally, the fertile offspring were analyzed and the novel plant was characterized by morphology. Karpechencko had successfully produced a plant with the roots of a cabbage and leaves of a radish (Pierce 257). It was effectively

1.Title: Prognostic impact of MYC rearrangement in progression of plasma cell myeloma Introduction Acquired chromosomal abnormalities are considered as an important prognostic marker in several hematologic malignancies. Cytogenetic aberrations play an important role in pathogenesis of disease and survival outcome. Here, our goal is to study the prognostic impact of Myc abnormalities and their role in progression of multiple myeloma. The study will also include cyclinD1 gene rearrangement; the most

In-virto fertilization (IVF) and pre-implantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) can both be used when there is difficulty for a couple to naturally conceive on their own. IVF is defined as a complex series of procedures used to treat fertility or genetic problems and assist with the conception of a child. During IVF, mature eggs are collected from your ovaries and fertilized by sperm in a lab. IVF is the most effective assisted form of reproduction. PGD is defined as the testing of pre-implantation stage

Reproduction plays an important role in the stages of life. Unfortunately, for some, infertility prevents this from happening. By definition, infertility is “a disease or condition that results in the abnormal functioning of the male of female reproductive system, which interferes with the ability of a man or woman to achieve a pregnancy or of a woman to carry pregnancy to live birth” (Gilbert, 2007). Those who suffer from infertility have the desire to bear children and raise a family. Assisted

The Controversy associated with Egg Freezing Technological and scientific advancement has introduced various changes in the reproduction process. For instance, women can undertake safe abortions, use birth control pills and freeze their eggs. The idea of freezing eggs has often been used to help women undergo cancer treatment techniques that are more likely to interfere with their fertility. Women with crippling genetic disorders have also used the freezing option so that they can offer their eggs

prenatal care. In the United States, noninvasive cell-free fetal DNA testing has received much scrutiny. According to The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) Committee Opinion Number 545, cell-free DNA testing of fetal “aneuploidy” utilizes plasma from the blood of the mother to determine possible abnormalities of the developing fetus. Cell-free DNA

multiple miscarriages because of a genetic condition, a family history, or a child that has one of the following: Haemophilia, Cystic Fibrosis, ß-Thalassaemia, Huntington’s disease, Fragile-x, Spinal Muscular Atrophy, Myotonic Dystrophy, BRCA gene or Aneuploidy (Downs Syndrome). 2. Pre-genetic Implantation Diagnosis is a socio-scientific issue, because it involves both a scientific process and an ethical process. PGD is a controversial topic around the world, with multiple solutions, and lacks one correct

Introduction Miscarriage is the most common complication of pregnancy in the United States, occurring in 15-20% of clinically-recognized pregnancies, or ~1,000,000 cases annually. - Despite its frequency, the majority of Americans believe that it is a rare complication occurring in 5% or fewer of all pregnancies. Miscarriage can be an unexpected and emotionally devastating diagnosis for patients and their partners with studies showing that some women may suffer from psychological morbidity for months

Pregnancy for the human female is a period of time that is celebrated in most cultures. However, reaching the point where a pregnancy successfully results in the birth of one or more healthy children can be quite difficult. Wilcox et al. (1988) provided the conservative estimate that thirty-one percent of all pregnancies were unintentionally lost, with twenty-two percent of pregnancies being lost before they were clinically detected using delicate detection of hCG hormone levels. Since the rate of
