Genetic Screens02:46

Genetic Screens

5.9K
Genetic screens are tools used to identify genes and mutations responsible for phenotypes of interest. Genetic screens help identify individuals or a group of people at risk of developing  genetic diseases and help them with early intervention, targeted therapy, and reproductive options.
Forward genetic screens
Forward or “classical” genetic screens involve creating random mutations in an organism’s DNA using radiation, mutagens, or insertion of additional bases, which...

Preventive Healthcare Services01:30

Preventive Healthcare Services

2.3K
Preventive healthcare services keep people healthy via frequent check-ups, screening, and counseling. They primarily aid in disease prevention rather than treating an acute or chronic illness. Preventive treatment also keeps individuals productive and energetic, allowing them to work well into their retirement years. Examples of preventive care services include:

CRISPR01:59

CRISPR

60.4K
Genome editing technologies allow scientists to modify an organism’s DNA via the addition, removal, or rearrangement of genetic material at specific genomic locations. These types of techniques could potentially be used to cure genetic disorders such as hemophilia and sickle cell anemia. One popular and widely used DNA-editing research tool that could lead to safe and effective cures for genetic disorders is the CRISPR-Cas9 system. CRISPR-Cas9 stands for Clustered Regularly Interspaced...

Ethical Dilemmas I01:17

Ethical Dilemmas I

2.4K
Ethical dilemmas in nursing are of utmost importance, as they often arise from the tension between adhering to core ethical principles and the practical realities of healthcare delivery. These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.
Let us explore some examples to understand the potentially complex moral decisions nurses face.
Take the case of caring for minors, particularly in areas related to reproductive...

Ethical Issues01:27

Ethical Issues

2.6K
Nurses are essential in patient care, upholding the ethical principles of their profession and effectively navigating ethical dilemmas. Neglecting ethical issues can lead to inadequate patient care, compromised therapeutic relationships, and moral distress among healthcare workers.

Development of the Oral Microbiota01:28

Development of the Oral Microbiota

48
The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Genetics
    • Bioethics
    • Reproductive Medicine

    Background:

    • Current prenatal screening involves risk assessment for aneuploidies, followed by invasive diagnostic tests if needed.
    • Conventional karyotyping has been the standard diagnostic method for decades.
    • Fetal ultrasound scans detect anomalies and aid pregnancy management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review recent technological advancements in prenatal screening.
    • To discuss the ethical implications of these new technologies.
    • To introduce ethical debates surrounding prenatal screening.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of current prenatal screening pathways.
    • Discussion of emerging technologies like microarrays and non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT).
    • Analysis of ethical challenges posed by technological advancements.

    Main Results:

    • Microarrays identify a wider range of fetal abnormalities than karyotyping.
    • NIPT significantly reduces the need for invasive diagnostic tests for aneuploidies.
    • Wider NIPT availability may lead to routinization, impacting informed consent and reproductive choice.

    Conclusions:

    • Technological progress in prenatal screening necessitates careful consideration of ethical issues.
    • The expansion of screening capabilities challenges traditional notions of informed consent and reproductive autonomy.
    • Dual-use testing for fetal anomalies and pregnancy management complicates non-directive counseling.
