genetic testing for fetal alcohol syndrome :: Article Creator New Prenatal Genetic Testing Could Predict Your Baby I have two children. At the moment, all I know about their genes is that they both have 46 chromosomes, and one is XY and one is XX. I try to treat them equally, to assume equal potential. But what if I knew my daughter carried a "smart" gene and my son did not? When he came home from school with a B, would I assume it was just his genes, and not push him to try harder? And what if I could have known this before he were born, at a time when he was just a little blip on an ultrasound? Frankly, I'm not sure I would trust myself with this information. Such knowledge isn't, of course, possible yet. For one thing, we haven't yet found many genes that can reliably predict intelligence. And at the moment, even if we did know what genes we were looking for, we wouldn't be able to find them very early in pregnancy. Bu...

hemophilia joint :: Article Creator Self Reported Physical Activity Not Significantly Different Across Different Severities Of Hemophilia 1. In this cohort of individuals with hemophilia, the physical activity levels and step count did not significantly differ between severity phenotypes.  Evidence Rating Level: 1 (Excellent)  Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder characterized by blood that does not form clots. It can be divided into hemophilia A, due to a deficiency in factor VIII or hemophilia B, a deficiency in factor IX. Physical activity (PA) is recommended for individuals with either type of hemophilia, although the amount of PA is still under investigation. In patient populations where joint pain can limit movement, one way to assess overall strength is by measuring grip strength. Research has shown that grip strength can be a predictor of fall risk. Based on this information, the goal of the study was to determine how the severity phenotype...

low platelet count :: Article Creator 177Lu PSMA Effective After 223Ra In Real-World Patients With MCRPC Lutetium-177-PSMA-617 (177Lu PSMA) appears effective following treatment with radium 223 (223Ra) in real-world patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC), a new study finds. Low platelet count may be a useful biomarker of poor response. In the retrospective study of 233 patients with mCRPC treated with 177Lu PSMA at 5 European centers, 27 patients were previously treated with 223Ra and 206 were not. The overall response rate to 177Lu PSMA was 54% and was similar between the 223Ra-pretreated and radium-naive groups, Isabel Heidegger, MD, PhD, of Medical University Innsbruck in Austria, and colleagues reported in Clinical Genitourinary Cancer. Patients with a greater delay between castration resistance and the initiation of 177Lu PSMA therapy had significantly longer response: median 17 vs 8.5 months in progressors. Mul...

jewish genetic diseases list :: Article Creator Health Ministry Mistakenly Omits Genetic Disease From Prenatal Screening List - Report Israel's Health Ministry mistakenly excluded a genetic disease from the official list of conditions tested for in state-funded prenatal genetic testing, potentially affecting thousands of couples who may be unaware they are carriers, KAN News reported on Thursday. Israel provides free genetic screening tests for couples planning to have children to see whether either partner carries genetic mutations that could endanger a fetus, according to the report. Usually, the Health Ministry will provide a list of specific diseases that genetic institutes should test for before pregnancy. However, the ministry neglected to include a specific disease on this list, resulting in the omission of tests for the mutation, the report said. The disease in question can cause impairments in speech, cognition, and concentrat...
