Five factor trait theory, and 3. Temperament model of personality can be adapted to account for variations in the personal, societal, and cultural factors discussed in this paper. How does the gene-environment interaction influence personality? A person’s genetic make-up in combination with a person’s environment form an individuals personality by interacting with each other. Abnormal or radical behavior could therefore “be explained by hereditary factors in combination with poor environmental conditions” (Oreland, Leppert, Hallman, Lindström, Nilsson, K., Sjöberg, R., …Öhrvik, J., 2006).
Anencephalic Infants Britney Moore Abnormal Psychology April 28, 2012 Abstract The purpose of this paper is to show the ethical dilemmas that are involved in health care today in regards to organ transplantation especially in anencephalic infants. This topic interests me because it is an abnormal neural tube defect that affects infants in today’s society. While reading about Rett’s Disorder I found there are similarities between the two disorders. For example both Rett’s Disorder and Anencephaly infants have abnormally small heads and they either lose the ability to use motor skills and talk or never are able to do either. Both also affect mostly girls and the child loses the ability to properly function.
The topic I chose to do my paper on is cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is an inherited disease of the secretory glands, this includes the glands that make mucus and sweat. The disease is passed through the genes from parents to children meaning it is inherited. The people that get cystic fibrosis inherit two faulty cystic fibrosis genes, one from each parent. The parents that pass these genes likely don’t have the disease themselves.
Nature in terms of health and social care defines as the qualities we are born with that makes us what we are. Nurture defines as how we are influenced as a child by the environment around us, including other people. Many scientists, philosophers and researches argue that individuals’ personalities and talents come from their DNA and many others argue that the majority of it is influenced by life experiences and the environment. There have been studies involving identical and fraternal twins to find out if it is the genetics (nature) or environment (nurture), which was the effective one on the case of personality development. Which side of the debate is more influential?
The infertility is caused by chronic lung disease on the menstrual cycle, as well as thick cervical mucus that blocks the migration of sperm, although it is possible for them to conceive and to have successful pregnancies. Still, pregnancy can worsen the signs and symptoms of cystic fibrosis, so be sure to discuss the possible risks with your doctor. Other complications: -Osteoporosis. People with cystic fibrosis are at higher risk of developing osteoporosis, a dangerous thinning of bones. This may be linked to the body's inability to absorb vitamin D, which helps build strong
There are many different kinds of life factors that effects. Life factor Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition in which the lungs and digestive system become clogged with thick sticky mucus. This is caused by a defective gene, so this means that there i9s a one in four chance that their child will be born with cystic fibrosis. People with cystic fibrosis may have problems absorbing nourishment from food and they may also suffer from respiratory and chest infections as in the past, children with cystic fibrosis often had very short life expectancy, but now having modern medical treatments it has succeeded in extending it. If Sir Bruce Forsyth has cystic fibrosis it will: Physically Intellectually he will miss out on school Emotionally
Alzheimer’s disease- Alzheimer’s disease is caused by the build-up of proteins in the brain which form into “plagues and tangles”, these in turn will cause a loss of connection between nerve cells and cause cell death and loss of brain tissue. Early symptoms of Alzheimer’s can be lapses in memory, problems with language (forgetting words or their meanings) and poor visuospatial skill’s (gaging distance, ability to see in 3D). People can also suffer from depression or anxiety, they could become withdrawn and lose interest in daily activities or hobbies or have poor initiation. As the disease progresses sufferers can develop more pronounced memory problems and lose a sense of time and place, they may forget where they are or have difficulties recognising their own family. Vascular dementia- Vascular dementia is caused by the flow of blood and oxygen to the brain being interrupted causing the death of brains cells, this is called an infarct.
\ Research for Cystic Fibrosis (In Lungs) What is Cystic Fibrosis? * Cystic Fibrosis is a disease passed on through genes from a parent to a child. In patients with cystic fibrosis, the glands which aid in the production of mucus and swear malfunction, allowing mucus to become very thick and sticky. This affect the lungs because as the mucus in our lungs accumulates, our airways to the lungs can be blocked, making it hard to breathe. Also, bacteria can grow in mucus making the lungs susceptible to other diseases.
Chlamydia can also infect newborn babies if the mother is infected. The disease will infect the eye and might cause permanent blindness. This disease, as well as all other STDs, often go untreated because of the embarrassment that comes along with contracting it. Not many people would want to have sex with a person knowing that their sex partner has chlamydia, but unfortunately the disease's silence disguises the harmful nature of a partners vaginal or penile region. Also, person who had been treated for chlamydia previously still runs the risk of being re-infected with the disease.
A trypsinogen test is also ordered when children or adults present with symptoms suggesting cystic fibrosis and pancreatic dysfunction such as persistent diarrhea, foul-smelling, bulky greasy stools, malnutrition, and vitamin deficiency. Trypsinogen testing is non-diagnostic; there are a fair number of false positives and problems other than cystic fibrosis and pancreatic dysfunction that can cause a positive IRT. An elevated level must be followed with other testing. When diagnosing cystic fibrosis, this may include another IRT in a month, CF gene mutation testing, and/or sweat chloride testing. If an IRT level is elevated, an infant may have cystic fibrosis; an infant or adult may have abnormal pancreatic enzyme production, pancreatitis, or pancreatic cancer; or the elevated IRT may be a false positive.
