Down Syndrome
What a difference an extra chromosome can make. Here we explore the misconceptions -- as well as the ups and downs -- of Down Syndrome, a congenital genetic disorder that is caused by the presence of an extra 21st chromosome. The affected person is mildly to moderately handicapped, short in stature, and has a flattened facial profile.

How do you treat a hysterical person?
Well it would depend on if they are temporarily hysterical or if this is a lasting condition. The next question to ask yourself is, "Is this person potenitally harmful to themselves or those around them?" Next if the answer to the last question is yes, contact local law enforcement and have them committed for a 72 hour psyche ward for evalutation...let the professionals handle it.
People with a Down syndrome have 27 chromosomes?
yes, whereas normal people have 23 pairs of chromosomes
How do you punish a kid with Down syndrome?
There is always a reason for problem behavior:
Children sometimes have trouble communicating, because they may not know the words to describe how they are feeling or what to do in a difficult situation. Thus children engage in challenging behavior to serve a purpose. That purpose may be getting someone's attention, stopping an activity, or gaining sensory pleasure -- but there is always a reason behind the behavior. There can be many reasons behind one specific behavior:
Children with challenging behavior are sending adults the message that something is not right or that their needs are not being met. There could be many reasons for a specific behavior, such as being hungry, scared, hurt, sad or angry. Some children have a particularly hard time knowing how to tell adults they are angry, so they act out in ways that get them into trouble. Other children may engage in behavior that seems destructive because they enjoy the physical sensation, for example punching things or pulling threads from clothing. Sometimes children feel unsafe or out of control, so they take inappropriate action over the things they do control, like being able to kick or hurt someone. A child who has tried several times to communicate to adults about what she needs, but whose needs remain unmet, will often use problem behavior as a way of sending a very loud message. Adults can learn to understand and interpret children's challenging behavior:
Since children often express what they need through behavior, many adults face the challenge of figuring out the meaning behind the child's behavior. All children, but especially those who display challenging behavior, need the consistency of a reliable and loving adult who will provide support and guidance, especially during difficult times. Just as it is important to find meaning in children's behavior, it is equally important for adults to be aware of the meaning in their own behavior. Children learn a lot through the messages that adults send everyday. Children's challenging behavior can be reduced with support, not punishment:
Once adults understand what children are communicating through their behavior, they can respond better. When children feel respected and have their needs met, there is no longer a reason to use challenging behavior to communicate. Yelling at or punishing a child for a behavior may stop the behavior for the moment, but it does not give the child support or provide alternate ways to act in difficult situations. When adults use punishment, they are sending the message that anger is a good way to solve problems. When adults help children find positive ways to communicate their needs to others, children learn important social and problem-solving skills that will help them throughout their life.
* Being a parent, you wouldn't punish any child, let alone a child who has Down syndrome. * Being a parent and grandparent, I beg to differ. If you never punish a child, how do you discipline them. If a child is misbehaving that child should be punished according to the infraction -- by that I don't mean you should beat or abuse a child. There are other ways to punish a child without causing harm. Time-outs, grounding, restricted TV and computer time -- these are just ways of teaching a child. I wouldn't care to meet a teenager who thinks that they can do whatever they want without any consequences. Come to think of it, I have met some of those kids and they are nothing more than spoiled juvenile delinquents.
A child with Down syndrome can learn to behave; you just have to be consistent in disciplining them and it does not have to be harsh. A simple time-out every time will eventually work.
What is 3 P duplication syndrome?
3p is product,price and process or promotion
3p is product,price and process or promotion
3P duplication syndrome is caused by a the inheritance of a portion of genetic information on chromosome 3 from its homologous partner.
During meiosis, a portion of chromosome 3 breaks off from one copy of the chromosome and is inserted into the genetic information on the other chromosome 3. This leads to double copies of certain genes being inherited by the individual.
How did down syndrom get its name?
Down Syndrome is named after Dr. John Langdon Down, the British doctor who first identified the syndrome in 1862. Dr. Langdon Down went on to publicize his theory in 1866.
a(child acceleration)=g(gravitational acceleration)*sin25=4.144 m/s2
What is an example of established risk?
Being diagnosed at birth with Down Syndrome, versus growing up in poverty or an abusive home.
Middle Child Syndrome is still a heavily debated topic within the scientific community, with only a few completed studies on the matter, there is limited hard evidence to factually determine what Middle Child Syndrome really is, or how it affects people, if it indeed can be clinically proven.
It is generally agreed that if it is a real syndrome, then it affects a middle child due to a lack of attention from parents when compared to younger and older siblings. This is said to cause the middle child to have trouble socially and emotionally, and can cause them to act out.
As a 'middle child' my view on this is still very undecided. I do have many of the attributes of Middle Child Syndrome, less parent dependent, social issues (minor anxiety) and very much the most creative of my siblings. Equally the idea that middle children do better in life than there siblings rings true for me, I am the only one of my siblings to go to University, both my siblings had children at relatively young ages (not that it is a bad thing, I adore my two nephews, it simply meant my siblings grand plans for life had to be put on hold)
I bring up my personal experiences to help embellish my response, but to also point out that I think it equally likely that the fact I was bullied for a lot of my younger life within the schooling system, could of cause me to withdraw socially. I didn't talk to my parents about it because I naively assumed it was somehow my fault, this could be why I am less parent dependent (equally I'd agree that it could be middle child syndrome that caused me not to go to my parents). And while I did spent most of my formative years telling my parents how they treated my younger sister and older brother differently to me, retrospectively, I don't think they did.
It is a human condition to assume that others have it better than you in some way or another, we envy people who are more confident, thinner, smarter etc, yet, everyone is capable of becoming more confident or thinner or smarter, it is simply easier to blame it on everyone else. Also it is also part of the human condition to identify with people (especially those you may never of met) who seem to be the same way inclined as you. When I first read about middle child syndrome, I sat there and thought to myself, goodness, this is me. This is why I am so bad with people, why I don't talk to my parents, why I always feel like I am in someway outcast in any and all social situations. But, after a few days thought of the topic, I realized that it was more than likely that I was simply identifying with this as way to make myself feel better.
Long winded as it may be, hopefully my own personal embellishments have helped you to understand why there is no 'right' information. So much of life goes into the creation of each individuals personalities (before we even look into the Nature V Nurture debate) so it will take extensive experiments and tests before this syndrome can have definitive information.
How do you control people in anger who are suffering from down syndrome?
Just smile and know what problem does make them anger, then ask them what it should be if that is wrong then we can clear them by showing them some example that how it is wrong.This all will make the person of downy to think on it and they can calm down
Is it considered a pre-existing condition if you had surgery a few years ago and seem to be cured?
Check your policies definition of pre-x. It generally says treated for... doesn't say anything about successful treatment.
What is the genetic cause of Down syndrome?
Both syndrome's indicate the presence of a 47th chromosome (or extra part of a chromosome). Most humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, totaling 46 chromosomes.
For Down's syndrome, the 47th chromosome appears with the 21st pairing. For Klinefelter's syndrome the 47th chromosome appears with the 26th pairing (the gender chromosomes.)
A syndrome is a collection of recognizable features, behaviors, signs and symptoms (as reported by a patient) which frequently occur together and can be observed or detected collectively to identify a particular illness, genetic disorder or other medical condition.
In some cases a particular syndrome may have only one cause, such as Down Syndrome. Others have multiple possible causes such as Parkinsonian Syndrome (often shortened to Parkinson's), or in many cases the cause may be unknown.
Some syndromes may have limited treatment options or are groups of symptoms and behaviors that may not be treatable or are still under investigation by medical professionals.
The most important distinction to realize is that a syndrome is not a cause of disease or even a disease in and of itself but rather it is the collection of side effects caused by something else.
For example AIDS (Auto Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is the collection of side effects which includes a weak immune system; however, HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the actual disease which is contagious. People do not catch AIDS; they catch HIV which than causes the syndrome (or collection of symptoms) known as AIDS. It is a commonly made mistake to use the terms incorrectly. But from a technical standpoint HIV is the virus, and AIDS (which is a syndrome) is the list of side effects.
Do you have high tendency of having down syndrome baby with one ovary?
No. Age is a factor an older woman is more apt to have a down child than a younger woman, and they are finding there is an relationship between altimerzers and Down syndrome.
How do you stick your tongue down someones throat?
Unless you have an exeptionally long tongue, you probably don't. It's pretty much a figure of speech and not meant to be taken literally. If you feel you could manage it (and it sounds most uncomfortable) I'd ensure you forewarn the person you're kissing. They might prefer not to be taken by surprise in this manner.
Are you born with down sydrome?
yes, you are. it is a disease that is triggered by you having more than one chromosome in your body. You cannot catch it throughout life, it is all down to genetics :) hope this helped x
Is Down syndrome chromosomal or genetic?
It's a chromosal disorder. Caused by the presence of an extra 21st chromosome?
Called trisomy 21. A zygote is only meant to have 2 pairs of chromosome 21 (one from mum one from dad) but if cell division is faulty, then the chromsomes may not segregate properly when gametes are being formed. The chances of having a down's child dramatically increases as the parents become older as this cell division tend to not be so exact as when younger.
i received 2 epideral injections two weeks apart, which did not help my leg pain i was experiencing. I after the second and last injection i ended up in the ER from lower back pressure,headache. Since those injections i have frequent headaches,leg crapmping,bruning radiating in front and back of leg, tremors, body jolts. could these injections cause Lhermittes syndrome. I have been tested for parkinsons,MS.vitamin defeciency and they have all been negative. I am otherwise in good health
