Fertilization01:38

Fertilization

91.1K
During fertilization, an egg and sperm cell fuse to create a new diploid structure. In humans, the process occurs once the egg has been released from the ovary, and travels into the fallopian tubes. The process requires several key steps: 1) sperm present in the genital tract must locate the egg; 2) once there, sperm need to release enzymes to help them burrow through the protective zona pellucida of the egg; and 3) the membranes of a single sperm cell and egg must fuse, with the sperm...

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends02:35

RACE - Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends

7.3K
Rapid Amplification of cDNA Ends, or RACE, is one of the most effective methods to obtain a full-length cDNA from an mRNA sequence between a known internal region to the unknown sequence at the 5’ or 3’ end. The unknown region is cloned in the cDNA by a gene-specific primer that binds the known end, and a hybrid primer that attaches a predefined anchor sequence to the unknown end of the cDNA. The sequence in between is amplified by PCR with an anchor primer and a gene-specific...

Reaction Rate02:53

Reaction Rate

62.8K
The rate of reaction is the change in the amount of a reactant or product per unit time. Reaction rates are therefore determined by measuring the time dependence of some property that can be related to reactant or product amounts. Rates of reactions that consume or produce gaseous substances, for example, are conveniently determined by measuring changes in volume or pressure.
The mathematical representation of the change in the concentration of reactants and products, over time, is the rate...

In Vitro Fertilization01:24

In Vitro Fertilization

950
In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a form of assisted reproductive technology where an egg is fertilized with sperm in a controlled laboratory environment before transferring the resulting embryo into the uterus. This process is designed to help individuals and couples experiencing difficulties conceiving.
The IVF process begins with ovarian stimulation, during which reproductive endocrinologists prescribe hormonal medications to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple eggs instead of the single...

Measurement: Standard Units03:38

Measurement: Standard Units

79.5K
Every measurement provides three kinds of information: the size or magnitude of the measurement (a number), a standard of comparison for the measurement (a unit), and an indication of the uncertainty of the measurement. While the number and unit are explicitly represented when a quantity is written, the uncertainty is an aspect of the errors in the measurement results.

Measurement: Derived Units

55.3K
The International System of Units or SI system, by international agreement, has fixed measurement units for seven fundamental properties: length, mass, time, temperature, electric current, amount of substance, and luminosity. These are called the SI base units.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Public Health
    • Sociology

    Background:

    • Understanding fertility rates is crucial for public health planning and demographic analysis.
    • Previous research indicates variations in fertility across different regions and demographic groups within the United States.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To present 2017 total fertility rates (TFRs) for the United States, stratified by state of residence.
    • To analyze TFRs by race and Hispanic origin of the mother, including non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic women.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized data exclusively from birth certificates across all 50 states and the District of Columbia for the year 2017.
    • Calculated total fertility rates, defined as the expected number of lifetime births per 1,000 women based on current age-specific birth rates.

    Main Results:

    • Significant state-level variations in TFRs were observed for all analyzed racial and Hispanic-origin groups.
    • South Dakota recorded the highest TFR (2,227.5) among all states and D.C., while D.C. had the lowest (1,421.0).
    • Specific TFR highs and lows were noted for non-Hispanic white, non-Hispanic black, and Hispanic women across various states.

    Conclusions:

    • The 2017 data reveal substantial geographic and racial disparities in total fertility rates across the United States.
    • These findings underscore the need for targeted public health interventions and demographic research considering diverse populations.
