Childhood Span For Down Syndrome

Down Syndrome is also known as Trisomy 21, is a disorder that occurs when an extra chromosome is present on the 21st chromosome. There

The faint lights from the stores on the shore, reflecting off the river from a distance under the bright, twinkling sky filled with stars of the Ursa Major constellation with a couple on the bank on the near shore star gazing as the small waves hit the bank near them. The picture described may sound familiar as it is one of Vincent van Gogh’s famous paintings, Starry Night Over the Rhone. It is an oil on canvas that resides in the Musee D’Orsay in Paris, France that is 72.5 centimeters by 92 centimeters and was based on the Rhone river in Arles, France looking out at the Trinquetaille bridge. Starry Night Over the Rhone has a sister painting that resides in New York, however, it was painted during his time at the Saint-Paul Asylum in the Saint-Remy-de-Providence.

People with Down Syndrome have the mental capability of a child even when they are adults. Poor health is also a risk too. Those with Down Syndrome have distinctive features. 80 percent have low muscle tone and more skin on they back of their neck. 90 percent of the people will be stunted in their growth and have an umbilical hernia (Down syndrome). 75 percent of those with Down Syndrome have a flat head, larger than normal tongue, and flexible ligaments. 68 percent have a flattened nose and the first and second toe will be separated from each other (Down syndrome). People with down Syndrome also have slanted eyes, a small chin, a short neck, and an IQ of 50-70 sometimes the IQ score will be 35 to 50. Down Syndrome also causes visions problems and hearing problems in over 50 percent of the people. Leukemia and heart disease are also increased risks for those with Down Syndrome. The life expectance varies for each person depending on what health problems they have (Down syndrome). If they have heart problems then only 60 percent will make it to 10 years old and 50 percent live to be 30 years old (Down

Down’s Syndrome, also known as Trisomy 21, happens when a problem occurs in the body’s chromosomes. Chromosomes are the structure that holds genes which give the body instruction on how to work and grow. Each person has 23 pairs of chromosomes in every cell in their body and each pair consists of one chromosome from the father and one from the mother. Babies born with Down’s Syndrome have an extra copy of chromosome 21 which changes the way the brain and body develop. It is not certain how Down’s Syndrome happens. It could occur during fertilization or in a rare situation can be passed down from parent to child.

Down syndrome occurs in people who were born with three, rather than two, copies of the 21st chromosome. This extra genetic material is what brings about the effects of Down’s syndrome. It is often characterized by an impairment of cognitive (process of thought) ability. Most people with Down syndrome have lower than average, mild to moderate, cognitive ability and this cannot be predicted at birth. A smaller number fall into the severe impairment range. Physically, people with Down’s syndrome are smaller in stature, have less muscle tone, and have noticeably different facial features. The number of these births occurs approximately in one out of every one thousand (ndss.org). As of 2007, the number of people in the United States with Down syndrome stood at about 350,000. These numbers will shrink because now (most) potential parents can know the condition of the fetus early. This information is included to let the reader relate to the struggles that some with Down syndrome goes through.

In conclusion, Willy is the main character of the play Death of a Salesman, and cannot be classified as a tragic hero according to the aforementioned definition. He is not a man of great nobility and honor. He is not highly ranked, but is 'somewhat' loved by his dysfunctional family. Yet, he makes his own mistakes that cause his downfall, but not because of an outside force. In addition, he does not face his destiny with courage and dignity rather self-pitying whimpers because he committed suicide, as he realized the truth about his life and all the miseries and failures that his life has resulted in. He made a few fatal decisions and was condemned to profound suffering because of them. This play was a great story of the aging, failing salesman

Down's Syndrome, it is one of the most frequently occurring chromosomal abnormalities found in humans effecting people of all ages, races and economic levels. It is a chromosomal anomaly in cell development that results in a person being born with forty-seven chromosomes instead of the normal forty-six chromosomes. People with Down syndrome may have mild to severe learning disabilities and physical symptoms, which include a small skull, extra folds of skin under the eyes, and a protruding tongue.

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that originates from having an extra copy of chromosome 21. It can cause intellectual impairment and physical abnormalities, such as an extensive facial profile and short stature. People who have Down syndrome are born with it, it’s not something people contract after they are born. What is Down syndrome and what can we do to help it?

Down syndrome is a birth defect caused by a genetic disorder that affects 350,000 people in the United States. It is caused by abnormalities in the genes and is not inherited, meaning that parents do not pass this onto their children. Genetics is the study of heredity or how certain traits are passed from parents to their children. Genes are the basic unit of heredity. Cells are the building blocks of your body and each one of us has more than 100 trillion cells. Our genes are located in chromosomes. Each cell in your body contains 46 chromosomes or 23 pairs. In a person with Down syndrome, there are 47 chromosomes. In 1956, a French researcher named Jerome Lejeune used a new powerful microscope to view human strands of DNA. DNA is what

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder in which a person is born with an extra copy of chromosome 21. There are three genetic variations that cause Down syndrome: Trisomy 21, Mosaic Trisomy 21 or Translocation Trisomy 21. There are many ways in which theses disorders affect the body.  Trisomy 21 occurs when an egg or sperm comes in with an extra copy of chromosome 21, then, once an embryo is formed and starts to develop, the chromosome is replicated in every single cell of the embryo. Trisomy 21 is the most common type of Down syndrome. About 92% of Down syndrome patients have this type. People with Trisomy usually have physical problems.

Starry Night is post-impressionist oil painting from 1889 by Vincent van Gogh who was at the time in a mental asylum ("Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh"). The painting’s background is taken up the overwhelming night sky. Eleven yellow fiery stars resembling huge fireballs irradiate the piece. At the top right-hand corner is a crescent moon radiating a bright orange light, brighter than the other stars. The houses are inconspicuously painted at the bottom, blending harmoniously with the forests and mountains. The painting gives an illusion of constant motion due to the thick, heavy and rhythmic brush strokes ("Starry Night by Vincent Van Gogh").

Down syndrome (DS) is a chromosomal problem due to abnormalities on the 21st set of chromosomes, which causes delayed development in functioning and shorter life expectancy (Choi, Van Riper & Thoyre, 2012; Crawford & Dearmun, 2016). The most common features of DS are physical appearance and mental retardation (Crawford & Dearmun, 2016). People with DS have increased risks of developing various comorbidities, for example, around 50% of individuals with DS have the risk of experiencing congenital heart defects (Dixon, 2008).

Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that showcases mental and physical symptoms, where both develop at a slower rate compared to others who do not have Down syndrome. “One of every 700-900 babies born worldwide will have Down syndrome”

Down syndrome is a genetic condition not an illness or disease. Us humans are made up of millions of cells with 46 chromosomes in each cell, Down syndrome occurs when you have an extra chromosome 21 this is why this condition is also known as Trisomy 21. Down syndrome is not specific to any race or religion, Down syndrome can occur to anybody although the amount of people in Australia with Down syndrome is significantly lower to other Countries around the world.

Down syndrome, or also known as trisomy 21, describes a set of cognitive and physical symptoms that result from an extra copy or part of a copy of chromosome (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2012). Chromosomes carry the genes that tell the body to develop in certain ways and to perform certain functions. Most cells of the human body contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, for a total of 46 chromosomes (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2012). People with Down syndrome have either a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21, for a total of 47 chromosomes (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2012). The extra chromosome disrupts the normal course of development and results in the physical features and intellectual and developmental disabilities associated with the syndrome (National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, 2012).
