Book Synopsis Current Practice of Prenatal Diagnosis in Canada by : Canada. Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies
Download or read book Current Practice of Prenatal Diagnosis in Canada written by Canada. Royal Commission on New Reproductive Technologies and published by Canadian Government Publishing. This book was released on 1993 with total page 656 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume documents in some detail current practices in prenatal diagnosis and testing in Canada today and, in the process, provides answers to many questions raised in the Commission's public consultations. This is done through an analysis of the activities of all Canadian genetics centres providing PND, as well as an analysis of the process by which women are referred to these centres. Other studies in the volume focus not on prenatal diagnostic procedures but on prenatal screening programs. These programs involve a wider range of physicians, often including general practitioners, and the studies examine how such programs have been introduced in Canada and the extent to which, in this wider arena, they conform to the standards established for the introduction of prenatal diagnostic techniques.

Book Synopsis Assessing Genetic Risks by : Institute of Medicine
Download or read book Assessing Genetic Risks written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1994-01-01 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Raising hopes for disease treatment and prevention, but also the specter of discrimination and "designer genes," genetic testing is potentially one of the most socially explosive developments of our time. This book presents a current assessment of this rapidly evolving field, offering principles for actions and research and recommendations on key issues in genetic testing and screening. Advantages of early genetic knowledge are balanced with issues associated with such knowledge: availability of treatment, privacy and discrimination, personal decision-making, public health objectives, cost, and more. Among the important issues covered: Quality control in genetic testing. Appropriate roles for public agencies, private health practitioners, and laboratories. Value-neutral education and counseling for persons considering testing. Use of test results in insurance, employment, and other settings.
Book Synopsis Non-invasive Prenatal Testing by : Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health
Download or read book Non-invasive Prenatal Testing written by Canadian Agency for Drugs and Technologies in Health and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in genomic sequencing and bioinformatics have led to development of noninvasive detection methods with detection rates approaching those obtained with amniocentesis and chorionic villus sampling (CVS). Recently, a novel prenatal testing method has become available. This method, known as non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), is a molecular approach for assessing fetal aneuploidy using cell-free fetal deoxyribonucleic acid (cffDNA) from the plasma of pregnant women. NIPT has a false positive rate of about 0.2% and detection rate of about 98% for Down syndrome. NIPT has been used for assessing abnormalities such as trisomy 21, trisomy 18, and trisomy 13. Approximately 10% to 15% of the cell free deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in maternal blood comprises of cffDNA. The half-life of cffDNA is short and clears from maternal circulation soon after delivery. Hence, there is no risk of fetal DNA persisting from one pregnancy to the next and confounding test results. The cost of NIPT ranges from US$800 to US$2000 in the USA and from US$500 to US$1500 elsewhere. A Canadian economic study reported a cost range of C$600 to C$800 for NIPT. Among other factors, cost implications for introducing this new technology in clinical practice will need to be considered. At present there is some uncertainty around the incorporation of NIPT into current strategies for prenatal screening and diagnosis. The purpose of this report is to provide information on the cost-effectiveness of non-invasive pre-natal testing and to describe evidence-based guidelines for its use.

This book was released on 2020-05-01 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The delivery of high quality and equitable care for both mothers and newborns is complex and requires efforts across many sectors. The United States spends more on childbirth than any other country in the world, yet outcomes are worse than other high-resource countries, and even worse for Black and Native American women. There are a variety of factors that influence childbirth, including social determinants such as income, educational levels, access to care, financing, transportation, structural racism and geographic variability in birth settings. It is important to reevaluate the United States' approach to maternal and newborn care through the lens of these factors across multiple disciplines. Birth Settings in America: Outcomes, Quality, Access, and Choice reviews and evaluates maternal and newborn care in the United States, the epidemiology of social and clinical risks in pregnancy and childbirth, birth settings research, and access to and choice of birth settings.
Book Synopsis Prenatal Testing and Disability Rights by : Erik Parens
Download or read book Prenatal Testing and Disability Rights written by Erik Parens and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2000-09-28 with total page 392 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As prenatal tests proliferate, the medical and broader communities perceive that such testing is a logical extension of good prenatal care—it helps parents have healthy babies. But prenatal tests have been criticized by the disability rights community, which contends that advances in science should be directed at improving their lives, not preventing them. Used primarily to decide to abort a fetus that would have been born with mental or physical impairments, prenatal tests arguably reinforce discrimination against and misconceptions about people with disabilities. In these essays, people on both sides of the issue engage in an honest and occasionally painful debate about prenatal testing and selective abortion. The contributors include both people who live with and people who theorize about disabilities, scholars from the social sciences and humanities, medical geneticists, genetic counselors, physicians, and lawyers. Although the essayists don't arrive at a consensus over the disability community's objections to prenatal testing and its consequences, they do offer recommendations for ameliorating some of the problems associated with the practice.

Book Synopsis Prenatal Diagnostic Testing for Genetic Disorders by : Gian Carlo Di Renzo
Download or read book Prenatal Diagnostic Testing for Genetic Disorders written by Gian Carlo Di Renzo and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive volume covers all aspects of the revolution in prenatal diagnosis brought about by the introduction of non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT), which primarily relies on the detection of free fetal DNA circulating in maternal blood from the early stages of pregnancy. The book explores the potential of NIPT to provide full genome screening of the fetus and identify many common or rare disorders. The counseling process, as well as the limitations and pitfalls of various techniques used to perform NIPT, are described, evaluated, and critically discussed by renowned international experts. The book also compares the new technology with more conventional tests, preimplantation diagnosis, and the invasive procedures currently in use. This book will be a valuable resource for gynecologists, obstetricians, geneticists, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, pathologists, neonatologists, reproductive medicine specialists, midwives, and anyone interested in prenatal genetic diagnosis.
Book Synopsis Genetic Disorders and the Fetus by : Aubrey Milunsky
Download or read book Genetic Disorders and the Fetus written by Aubrey Milunsky and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 718 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological advances continue to expand the number of genetic disorders that can be diagnosed in utero. Utilization of this new technology has de manded special expertise available in relatively few academic centers. As these new applications have become more widespread so have the realities of the medicolegal implications. Notwithstanding the laboratory challenges, most legal action, at least in the United States, has arisen from the physician's failure to inform a patient about the risks of a genetic disorder or the oppor tunities presented by prenatal diagnosis. Hence an extensive thorough reex amination of the subject seems appropriate and timely. The steady escalation in the number of prenatal genetic studies now being done in the western world makes it imperative for the physician to have a thorough comprehension of the subject in its entirety. I am, therefore, fortu nate in having colleagues who as acknowledged experts have shared their knowledge and experience in order to make this volume a major critical repository of facts and guidance about prenatal genetic diagnosis. The subject matter ranges from a consideration of required genetic counseling through the intricacies of establishing prenatal diagnoses. Special attention is focused on new advances using ultrasound, a-fetoprotein, fetoscopy, and first trimester diagnosis. Both ethical and legal implications are discussed in detail, as is the development of public policy.
