You have Carpal Tunnel syndrome with the ulner nerve also involved and am having surgery Will there be like 2 different incisions instead of one?
Yes, if both the median nerve (for carpal tunnel syndrome) and the ulnar nerve are involved, your surgeon may make two separate incisions. One incision will typically be at the wrist for the carpal tunnel release, while the second may be located at the elbow or in the forearm to address the ulnar nerve issue. Your specific surgical approach will depend on the severity of your condition and the surgeon's technique. It's best to discuss the details with your surgeon for clarity on your procedure.

How are the cells of a person with Down syndrome different from those of a person without Down syndrome?
In Down syndrome, a person's cells have an extra copy of chromosome 21. In other words, instead of a pair of chromosomes, a person with down syndrome has three of that chromosome. Down syndrome most often occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis. People with down syndrome have a degree of mental retardation. Heart defects are also common, but can be treated.
What is trisomy syndrome?
In a trisomy syndrome, an extra chromosome is present so that the individual has three of a particular chromosome instead of the normal pair.

Is down syndrome a dominant trait or recessive trait?
Down syndrome is neither dominant nor recessive.It is "autosomal" or "other"; it is simply an error in the translation process of Chromosome 21 (three copies instead of two). Instead of 46 chromosomes, a person with Down syndrome will have 47.
People with down syndrome have how many chromosomes?
47There are 47 chromosomes in someone with Down syndrome; the 21st pair has an extra chromosome. Most people have 46 chromosomes. Down syndrome is also known as "Trisomy 21" - a reference to the fact that someone with Down syndrome has 3 pairs of chromosomes on their 21st pair.

What is the purpose of a surgical laser?
A surgical laser is used to make incisions on soft tissue instead of using a physical scalpel because it is more accurate and does less damage to the surrounding tissue.
Do people with down syndrome have an X chromosome?
Yes, individuals with Down syndrome have an X chromosome, just like everyone else. Down syndrome is typically caused by the presence of an extra copy of chromosome 21, resulting in three copies instead of the usual two. This condition is not directly related to the X chromosome, which is one of the sex chromosomes involved in determining biological sex. Both males and females with Down syndrome have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome (for males) or two X chromosomes (for females).
What is down syndrome disorder?
genetic condition in which a person has 47 chromosomes instead of the usual 46
Turner's syndrome always results in female offsprings why?
Because people who have Turner syndrome have one X chromosome instead of the two other females have. As they do not have a Y chromosome, they are female.
