Cystic Fibrosis is an inherited recessive gene which means the disorder won’t affect anyone that’s a carrier. To obtain Cystic Fibrosis there are two ways, either, one parent is a carrier and the other has it (provided the parent with Cystic Fibrosis is female), or both parents are carriers. Parents can find out if they are carriers for Cystic Fibrosis with the use of genetic testing. When both parents are carriers for Cystic Fibrosis there a 25% chance the child will have Cystic Fibrosis, a 50%
Sexually Transmitted Diseases Sex is a popular subject; it is on television, in advertisements, in magazines, and practically everywhere. One very serious side effect of an increase of sexual activity is the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases. They affect more than twelve million Americans each year. Sexually transmitted diseases are becoming common and widely spread throughout Americans because of unprotected sex, permiscuity, and multiple sex partners. Some
Definitive management of male rectourethral fistula Historically, there have been many surgical techniques to repair anorectal malformations. These include endorectal dissection, anterior perineal approaches, and many different types of anoplasties However, most pediatric surgeons now use the posterior sagittal approach to repair these malformations with or without laparotomy or laparoscopy ( Levitt and Pena, 2006). Posterior sagittal anorectoplasty (PSARP) as described by pena and levitt ( Levitt
Roundworms are smooth-skinned, unsegmented worms with a long cylindrical body shape tapered at the ends. They include free-living and parasitic forms and have many different ecological roles. My research paper sheds light on roundworms and specifically Caenorhabditis elegans and the major studies done using this worm. C. elegans is a non-hazardous, non-pathogenic and non-parasitic organism. It is small and grows to about 1 mm in length. It lives in the soil in many parts of the world, where it
I am Bhagee Ganesan, a rising junior in New Albany High School’s Class of 2017. I am an innately curious person and intend to pursue a degree in biology, especially in molecular genetics or neuroscience. My college choices are still open, but I am considering Johns Hopkins, Harvard University, Duke University, OSU, Case Western, and NEOMED at Kent State. I hope to major in molecular genetics or neuroscience and be a part of the research to discover and refine the molecular basis of inherited diseases
Male Contraception Research Male birth control, or contraception keeps sperm from coming into contact with an egg and refrain the egg from fertilizing it. Thus, not allowing for the female from becoming impregnated by a male. For many years’ contraceptives have mostly been utilized by females with products including pills, vaginal rings, etc. For males there are two methodologies as of now accessible: condoms which come in many materials (mainly latex), which obstruct the sperm from entering the
ache and occasional swelling at the site of the operation on the testes. 3. The effect of the surgery doesn’t happen immediately. In fact, one has to resort to using condoms at least for the first three months after the surgery. 4. Restoration of Vas Deferens after the surgery is difficult hence one need to be very sure before opting for this type of contraception. 5. This procedure does not protect you from sexually transmitted diseases. Emergency Pill: No matter how careful you are, sometimes accidents
Ernst Von Bergmann German Surgeon known for Sterilization of Surgical Instruments Monday, May 24, 2010 Intrudoction to the Surgical Environment Instructor: Javier Espinales Paper Written by: Walter Pacheco My Paper is about a Baltic- German surgeon named, Ernst Von Bergmann. Dr. Bergmann was Born on December 1836 Riga, Russian Baltic Provinces. He is known as the first surgeon to use heat to sterilize surgical instruments. Dr. Bergmann came from a religious family. His father was a Lutheran
Introduction Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disorder involving many organ systems of the body but mainly the respiratory system and endocrine system that is often present at birth. What once used to be a detrimental disease, early detection has enabled early treatment resulting in an increase in life expectancy and higher quality of life. Nurses play a crucial role in educating new parents on the impact of the disease and lifestyle changes to ensure the best quality of life for their children
Cloning: Analysis of application to the human reproductive system and biological/ethical issues surrounding its use Cloning is the process of creating organisms that are genetically identical to it,s parent. The definition of cloning also includes nuclear transfer and stem cell cloning (ISPC). Cloning can occur naturally, such as in the case of identical twins; or artificially, via stem cell nuclear transfer. In addition to reproductive assistance, cloning methods such as ISPC are used to replace
