chance child is a carrier.
●● Cystic Fibrosis
Answer: affects pancreas causing secretions in lungs
●● 21st Trisomy
Answer: Down Syndrome
●● Klinefelter Syndrome (XXY)
Answer: male has extra X, female like qualities

Answer: Missing X in females
●● Alpha Thalassemia
Answer: inherited blood disorder; mild to severe anemia
,●● Beta Thallasemia
Answer: low hemoglobin; contraindicated medication ferrous sulfate
●● Prevalence Risk
Answer: proportion of the population affected at a certain time
●● Incidence rate
Answer: number of new cases divided by population
●● Innate immunity
Answer: inflammation; increased vascular permeability
●● B&T lymphocytes
Answer: immune response
●● primary malignant tumor
Answer: lack of organization of cells
●● glucocorticoids
Answer: used in combination with other agent to treat lymphoid tissue
(leukemia). glucocorticoids are directly toxic to lymphoid tissues.
, ●● Selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERM)
Answer: for hormone receptor positive and advanced breast cancer.
(Tamoxifin reduces risk and recurrence risk)
●● Heart failure
Answer: impairment of the ventricle to fill with or eject blood; heart
cannot meet metabolic need of the body.
●● CHF
Answer: heart cannot keep up with metabolic needs; volume overload in
pulmonary area
●● Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Answer: reduced ejection fraction; ventricle having issue ejecting blood.
●● normal ejection fraction
Answer: 55 - 60 % (blood pumped out with each heartbeat)
●● Ejection fraction of 50% - reduced or preserved?
Answer: preserved
●● Diastolic CHF
