Purpose:
The purpose of this study is to determine the correlation between having a baby of the desired gender and related factors.
Design And Methods:
The participants were 612 women who gave birth to their babies in the postpartum unit of a hospital in Malatya, Turkey.
Findings:
Factors linked to having a baby of the desired gender were: having had a gender preference in a previous pregnancy (2.13 times on average; P = 0.001), their partners having a gender preference (2.87 times on average; P = 0.001 and 0.005).
Practice Implications:
It was found that having a baby of the desired gender was an important factor that affected some fertility characteristics.
Implications For Nursing Practice:
It is important to recognize that gender preference exists and investigate it as a variable.

Transcription Elongation Factors
The transcription elongation is regulated via pausing of RNA polymerase on several occasions during transcription. In bacteria, these halts are necessary because the transcription of DNA into mRNA is coupled to the translation of that mRNA...

Age plays a significant role due to differences in body composition among different age groups. Infants, for instance, have a higher proportion of total body water and lower albumin levels, a protein that binds drugs in the bloodstream. This unique composition in infants enhances the...
Electrolytes: van't Hoff Factor
The colligative properties of a solution depend only on the number, not on the identity, of solute species dissolved. The concentration terms in the equations for various colligative properties (freezing point depression, boiling point elevation, osmotic pressure) pertain to all solute species present in the solution. Nonelectrolytes dissolve physically without dissociation or any other accompanying process. Each molecule that dissolves yields one...
