1. Describe risk assessment in genetic counseling Genetic risk should be estimated as precisely as possible as it is an important component of genetic testing and counseling, and for family decision making. It is always good to take out extra information from pedigree charts and genetic testing as it can improve the accuracy of risk assessment drastically. The risk can be calculated using Bayesian analyses. Among populations, families or individuals within the same family have significantly different
Frostbite happens when the skin and tissues freeze and become damaged due to exposure to freezing temperatures. Commonly affected areas include the feet, hands (especially the fingers), nose, cheeks, and ears. Frostbite can be mild or severe. Mild damage may be reversible, but severe frostbite may result in permanent tissue death or loss. CAUSES This condition is caused by exposing skin to freezing temperatures. RISK FACTORS This condition is more likely to develop in: • People that are outside

Permanent limb damage may occur due to injured bones and tissues. When wounds are open and exposed, they run the risk of infections, which
Paola Gonzalez Penile Cancer The penis is made up of three chambers of spongy tissue that contains smooth muscle, blood vessels, and nerves. The corpora cavernosa is two of the chambers that are on both sides of the upper part of the penis. The corpus spongiosum is below the corpora cavernosa and surrounds the urethra, the tube that urine and semen go through the body at an opening which is called the meatus. At the tip of the penis, the corpora cavernosa opens to form the head of the penis, or

At the second stage, the external layer of skin (epidermis) and the layer beneath it (dermis) is damaged or lost and the skin deepens and becomes pinkish red finally forms into a fluid-filled blister or a ruptured blister . When the third stage commences, the ulcer becomes a deep wound and the skin breaks up and exposes some fat. The tissues beneath the ulcer tissue becomes dead and the damage may spread into the healthy layers of the skin. At stage four
against A. schmiddy. Inflammation begins by activating acute-phase proteins, and soon after vasodilation occurs, followed by redness, swelling, pain, and heat. Once vasodilation occurs, histamine and kinins are released and blood vessels permeability is increased, causing white blood cells to report to the infected area. One problem associated with inflammation is that the capsule of A. schmiddy is an important virulence factor, which helps the bacteria to resists phagocytosis. Because the phagocytes
