Down Syndrome Profile

Perpsective of a man with Down Syndrome

When I was a child i had trouble learning to speak as fast as other children. When I got older I also looked different from the other kids My neck is shorter and my face and nose more flat. In gym class I also noticed i wasn't as strong as the other children. Once I got into grade school I realized i wasn't as smart as the other kids in my class I couldn't learn as fast as them and I couldn't speak as well as they could. Just because I look different and I don't learn as fast doesn't mean I am not capable of learning or living independently. I still feel the same emotions as you do. I am always optimistic, just because I learn slower than others doesn't mean I can't succeed at whatever I put my mind to.

What is down Syndrome

Down Syndrome results from having a extra chromosome 21 in your body, the extra genetic material causes physical and mental impairments. 

Physical Affects of Down Syndrome 

Some of the physical effects of having down syndrome are having decreased or poor muscle tone, having  a short neck with excess skin at the back, flattened profile and nose, small head ears and mouth, upward slanting eyes.

Effects on the Brain

Down Syndrome has quite a few effects on the brain which can vary from mild to moderate in most cases. Some of these problems are short attention span, poor judgement, slow learning and slowed language and speech development.

Only men can get prostate cancer, Men over the age of 50 are the one most likely to develop the cancer. Getting prostate cancer when you are under the age of 40 is extremely rare.

How it is treated

here are many treatments types for prostate cancer including, surgery, radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and hormone therapy. Any or all of these treatments may be used depending on the stage of the cancer is in. normally men only get one treatment at a time but depending on the situation may get a combined treatment.

Surgery

Surgery is a common first time treatment for Prostate Cancer if it is thought to not have left the area yet. 

Radiation Therapy

Another first time treatment cure rate is about the same for men who get surgery to remove the prostate gland. The therapy uses high energy particles or rays to kill cancer cells

Chemotherapy

Uses anti-cancer drugs either taken as a pill or injected into a vein, these drugs enter the bloodstream and are more useful to people whose cancer has spread to different organs. Chemotherapy is not a standard treatment for early cancer.

Hormone Therapy

Does not alone kill Prostate Cancer, slows the production of male hormones which aid the production of the cancerous prostate cells.

How you will be affected

The Cancer causes prostate enlargement which makes it difficult to control urine exiting the urethra.

It can also can pain during urination, and causes the frequent need to pee. Along with the need to get treatments such as the ones above.

How to Replicate your Spagetti

Meatballs scrunch up become round, Pasta starts to appear, Forks attach to pasta and move apart

pasta fully formed, meatballs attach to pasta, sauce disappears 

Meatballs line up in center being pulled apart

Meatballs perfectly split creating identical mini meat balls, pasta pulls meatballs onto opposite plates

2 identical plates of pasta and meatballs Sauce forms on meatballs

Key:

Meatballs = DNA

Pasta = Spindle Fibres

Fork = Centromeres

Plate = Cell

Sauce = Nuclear Membrane

Profile on Mutations

Mutations

Neutral Mutation

Kermode Bear, Spirit Bear Mutation

The Kermode Bear is usually black but a mutation in the gene for fur colour makes the fur white, resembling a polar bear. For a Spirit Bear to be produced each parent must have the altered gene, and the bear must recieve both copies. This mutation is considered a neutral mutation because it does not decrease or increase the survival rate of the bear.

Negative Mutation

Sickle Cell Anemia

A Negative Mutation is a mutation that harms and organism or reduces the probability that organisms with the mutation can produce offspring or survival  rate of the organism. One negative mutation that occurs in humans is sickle cell anemia which is a different shaped hemoglobin. The abnormally shaped molecules cannot carry oxygen efficiently. They also impede the flow of blood, this can cause pain and organ damage because blood cannot reach the organs.

Positive Mutation 

HIV Resistance

A positive mutation is a mutation that benefits the organism. One example of a positive mutation that occurs in humans is resistance to HIV and AIDS these few individuals who have this mutation carry a mutated gene that produces the instructions for a protein that prevents HIV from infecting the person.
