Oogenesis02:07

Oogenesis

58.4K
In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

Meiosis vs. Mitosis

39.5K
Cell division is necessary for growth and reproduction in organisms. Mitosis aids cell growth and development by dividing somatic cells. In contrast, meiosis causes the division of germ cells and plays an essential role in sexual reproduction. Due to their unique functional requirements, mitosis and meiosis differ from each other in multiple aspects.
Before the start of mitosis and meiosis I, the cell synthesizes DNA, resulting in two homologous copies of each chromosome. DNA synthesis is...

Parental Care

11.7K
Many animals exhibit parental care behavior, including feeding, grooming, and protecting young offspring. Parental care is universal in mammals and birds, which often have young that are born relatively helpless. Several species of insects and fish, as well as some amphibians, also care for their young.

Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

4.2K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Underage mothers are defined as individuals under 18 who become pregnant and give birth.
  • Child marriage is common in Middle-Eastern countries due to religious laws and traditions.
  • This practice raises significant concerns regarding children's rights.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the status of underage mothers within the framework of children's rights.
  • To increase awareness and sensitivity to the issue of underage motherhood.
  • To scrutinize and discuss the multifaceted aspects of underage pregnancy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective investigation of cases from 2003-2013.
  • Data collected from Forensic Science and Obstetrics and Gynecology outpatient clinics at Gaziosmanpasa University Faculty of Medicine.
  • Analysis of records for underage pregnant girls (≤ 18 years).

Main Results:

  • Included 163 underage mothers with a mean age of 16.9 ± 0.83 years (range 14-18).
  • Gravida and parity rates increased with age.
  • The majority of cases (71.8%) were 16 and 17 years old.

Conclusions:

  • Underage motherhood is a complex issue with medical, social, economic, traditional, religious, and legal dimensions.
  • Addressing underage motherhood requires a multi-dimensional approach.
  • Further attention and sensitivity are needed to protect the rights of underage mothers.
