The Cleft

During a pregnancy, many expecting mothers will travel to the doctor to have a check up with how the pregnancy is doing. Many mothers will get done a special procedure that is called an ultrasound. An ultrasound is a procedure that uses high-frequency sound waves to scan a woman’s abdomen and pelvic cavity, creating a picture (sonogram) of the baby and the placenta.(2-1) Ultrasounds may be performed at any point during a pregnancy, and the results are seen immediately on a monitor during the procedure

with almost no time delay involved. This is because in electrical synapses, the synaptic cleft is only between 2 and 4 nanometres as compared to the 20 to 40 nanometre cleft in a chemical synapse. Also the presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes of the electrical synapses have larger channels fixed in them allowing ions to travel directly from one cell to the other without having to pass through the synaptic cleft, and the electrical current can travel between presynaptic and postsynaptic membranes

Birth Defect: Face it, an individual cannot determine the appearance he/she wishes to possess but through rhinoplasty any desire for change is possible; struggling with eating properly because of a cleft lip or cleft palate? Nose surgery is a common solution. Thank you so much for the revision rhinoplasty you performed on my daughter. We cannot stop but marvel at how natural and proportionate her nose now appears.

agenesis. The authors identified a novel frameshift mutation by using mice with CRISPR/Cas system. The mutation occurred in a highly conserved C-terminal domain of MSX1, (MH6). Homozygous mice at E16.5 showed agenesis of lower incisors with or without cleft palate. 4-week-old mutant mice showed agenesis of the upper third molars and the lower second and third molars. Besides, the upper second molars were small (12). Furthermore, a study involved six Japanese families with non-syndromic tooth agenesis

first example of this that I am going to mention is Hassan's minor Cleft Lip. In the beginning of the story, when Amir is describing Hassan he says, "And the cleft lip, just left of midline, where the Chinese doll maker's instrument may have slipped, or perhaps he had simply grown tired and careless" (Hosseini 3). It started out as just one of his identifying features that he was born with, but unlike most people who are born with a cleft lip, his family could not afford the cost of the medical procedure

Khaled Hosseini’s The Kite Runner reveals that overcoming jealousy leads to the healing of broken relationships through the author’s use of situational irony, the contrast between Hassan and Sohrab’s relationship with Amir, and the symbolism of the cleft lip. The jealousy that Amir needs to overcome originates from the beginning of the novel as he is never able to appreciate what he has because he is constantly fixated on what he lacks. Hosseini intricately weaves situational irony, notably highlighted

body” ("Trisomy 13 (Patau Syndrome)” 2016). Individuals with Patau Syndrome often have heart defects, brain or spinal cord abnormalities, or very small or poorly developed eyes. People with Patau Syndrome also may have extra fingers or toes, a cleft lip, and a cleft palate, and weak muscle tone. Infants born with the disorder also have a slow rate of growth due to problems feeding. The conditions are similar to Down syndrome and Edwards syndrome including risk with the increased maternal age at pregnancy
