Embryo transfer is the process of taking fertilized embryos from one animal and inserting them into another. This is very useful today in cattle, because now it is economically feasible and it allows the producer a greater number of offspring from one cow with desirable traits. The process starts normally by artificially inseminating the cow. Exactly seven days later, the uterus is flushed, and the embryos and ova. Next, the embryos will be isolated. The embryos are then inserted into the recipient cow.
Artificially inseminating the cow is the preferred way to fertilize the eggs in the donor cow. The cow should be inseminated at least three times at intervals of twelve hours, to insure fertilization. In preparation for AI, a shot of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) should be given to the cow to super-ovulate her. This causes more eggs to drop from the ovaries, allowing more embryos. Seven days after the cow is inseminated the third time, her uterus should be flushed.
Before flushing the cow, her posterior should be cleaned up as much as possible. After this is complete, an instrument known as the “introducer” is inserted into the vagina. The instrument is much like a long syringe with a plunger going through the center. The vet then will push his hand through the anus and guide the introducer along the cervix. The instrument is pushed through the cervix and into the uterus. Once it reaches the uterus, the plunger is pulled out and a catheter is inserted into the uterus, against the uterine horn, through the center of the introducer. The “cuff,” a small balloon type object, is inflated in the cow’s uterus, and a sodium based phosphate is released for lubrication. It is then pumped back through the introducer, and filtered by an embryo filter. The liquid caught by the filter is then examined to determine the number of good embryos. At this stage, the sex can even be determined. They are graded, then placed in straws or frozen for later use.
Implanting the embryos into the cow is done just like artificial insemination. The straw is inserted in the vagina, while the vet’s hand guides the straw through the cervix, and then released into the uterus. Success of the process can be determined one to three months later through palpation.
The embryos can be stored safely at 37 degrees Fahrenheit for six-eight hours, however implanting as soon as possible is recommended for the best results.
August Wilson was born in 1945, in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. He was one of the most acclaimed American playwrights of the 20th century. His plays won two Pulitzer Prizes in drama, one for Fences and the other for The Piano Lesson, eight New York Drama Critics ' Circle Awards, and the highest honor on Broadway, the Tony Award. He married three times. His first wife was Brenda Burton, a Muslim, with whom he had a daughter named Sakina Ansari. After the marriage ended in 1972, he later married his second wife, Judy Oliver, a white social worker, who fiscally supported him during the early years of his career as a playwright. After their divorce in 1990, he later married his third wife, Constanza Romero, a costume designer, with whom he had a daughter named Azula Carmen. He died of liver cancer on October 2, 2005. Then two weeks later, the Virginia Theatre in New York City was renamed the August Wilson Theatre in his honor. Then on May 30, 2007, the State of Pennsylvania designated his childhood home a historical landmark. His mother’s name was Daisy, similar to Rose, is the name of a flower which symbolizes the love, kindness, care, and upbringing mothers show their kids. She practically had to raise four kids alone because of the absence of support from her husband. She is an example of the silencing of women. She was in an interracial marriage, which caused them to move to a new neighborhood where she was a victim of racial prejudice. During this time, whenever someone fell victim to racial prejudice people usually threw bricks through their windows in order to intimidate them to leave, so this might have been one of the problems his mom faced along with feeling out of place and getting bitter looks from the neighbors
The embryo is then passed out. The other method is to use a syringe, and gently suck the embryo out. The next type can be performed six to fourteen weeks after conception. The method the doctors use is to insert a tube into the vagina, and then hook it up to a suction machine. The fetus is then removed.
...ng principles. It is an implementation of the Internet’s freedom. Moreover, net neutrality regulates service providers, not the internet. The regulation of network neutrality would propose a positive induction in the aspect of internet freedom (Weitzner 22). The main concept of regulation is the underlying basis of the net neutrality debate. It would provide a positive impact to all parties, if implemented.
Born April 27, 1945 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, August Wilson is an African American author and play writer. August Wilson was best known for his ten series of plays that each depicted African American Life in the 20th century. Wilson won multiple of awards and recognition for his series of plays; the Tony Award (1985), the New York Drama Critics Circle Award (1985), and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama (1990). The Wilson's “Pittsburgh Cycle,” consists of ten plays where nine of them took place in the Pittsburgh’s Hill District, an African American neighborhood. August Wilson died on October 2, 2005 at the age of 60 in Seattle, Washington. Fences was written by August Wilson in 1983 and was first performed at the 46th Street Theatre on Broadway in 1987. It was the sixth play in his “Pittsburgh Cycle,” that won him the 1987 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It can be seen that the storyline in the play Fences is related to the real life story of Wilson. The play Fences focus on the different types of conflict in an African American family that is caused by outside society and the roles of each member. The theme death is utilized throughout the play as a character portrait by Troy as he faces obstacles within his lifetime.
In vitro fertilization is the process by which stem cells result. In vitro literally translates to “in glass” which is why the phrase “test tube baby” is common when referring to this act. In cases of infertility a woman can turn to this process which harvests eggs from a female and then fertilizes those eggs in a test tube. The fertilized eggs will then be matured in an incubator for one to two days before they are transferred into the woman. These same steps are taken when creating stem cells for experimentation, however, the fertilized...
The internment camps was a calamitous experience for many Japanese Americans. The Japanese American’s struggle was divided into evacuation, the camps, and life afterwards. Many will never forget the great injustice wrought upon them from the United States government.
The technique of in vitro fertilization or IVF removes several eggs from the ovaries for fertilization in the laboratory. After a few days, one or two of these fertilized eggs which are now known as embryos are returned to the uterus in the hope that they implant and become a pregnancy. Women undergoing IVF are given special reproductive hormones to encourage several eggs to develop in the ovaries. Final maturation of the egg itself is induced by the administration of a further hormone. Thirty-six hours later, the fluid containing the eggs are drawn from the ovary with a needle; this is usually performed under light sedation in a short, outpatient procedure with the doctor using ultra-sound to check proceedings. The eggs collected from the ovary are then mixed with a sample of the male partner sperm which has been already washed and concentrated. The eggs and sperm are then left in an incubator set at thirty-seven degrees at thirty-four hours so fertilization can take place. During this time, only one of many sperm cells will penetrate ...
Japanese-American internment camps were a dark time in America’s history, often compared to the concentration camps in Germany (Hane, 572). The internment camps were essentially prisons in which all Japanese-Americans living on the west coast were forced to live during World War II after the bombing of Pearl Harbor Naval base in Hawaii. They were located in inland western states due to the mass hysteria that Japanese-Americans were conspiring with Japan to invade and/or attack the United States. At the time the general consensus was that these camps were a good way to protect the country, but after the war many realized that the camps were not the best option. Textbooks did not usually mention the internment camps at all, as it is not a subject most Americans want to talk about, much less remember. Recently more textbooks and historians talk about the camps, even life inside them. Some Japanese-Americans say that their experiences after being released from the internment camps were not as negative as most people may think. Although the Japanese-American internment camps were brutal to go through, in the long run it led to Japanese-Americans’ movement from the west coast and their upward movement in society through opportunities found in a new urban environment such as Chicago and St. Louis.
What is Artificial Implantation? Artificial Implantation or IUI is a technique used to help treat infertility in both men and women. In this procedure, sperm are inserted directly into a woman's cervix, fallopian tubes, or uterus. By doing this it makes it possible for pregnancy to occur where is was not able to before. Infertility in men can be caused by many factors including having few or no sperm, having too large of veins in the testicials, and other injuries or illnesses to the testicials and sperm. Infertility in women can be caused by heavy alcohol and drug use, smoking, age, environmental toxins, stress, poor diet, athletic training, being overweight, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), and many health issues (Women’s). As a result of these factors both men and women in 1981 artificial implantation and other fertility techniques resulted in over 200,000 babies being born that year and the numbers have rapidly grown over the years (Infertility). The technique of Artificial Implantation is discussed according to the diverse moral values of others; furthermore, throughout Mary Shelley’s novel Frankenstein, moral values are also questioned over creating a human from something other than sexual reproduction.
When more than one implant is successful, there is the risk of mult-foetal pregnancy. This may sound to be good news to the mothers but unfortunately the occurrence of more than one embryo can increase danger levels to the mother’s health and the embryos. This most common is premature babies being born, this results in the risk to the babies where difficulties can happen after birth or the babies can be too early to live.
How: A mature egg was removed from one of Lesley’s ovaries and combined with her husband’s sperm in a laboratory dish to form an embryo. A few days later the embryo was implanted in her uterus.
The internet has grown immensely ever since it first started around the time August of 1960 when it was just a proof of concept at MIT. Now the internet is felt like it is a necessity, we must be able to access it all of the time with our smart phones with no more that the fastest speeds possible. The idea of net neutrality is to keep the internet free, and not to priorities speeds for companies who will pay more for it. Consequentialism and the justice theory are helping fight the argument on wither it is wright or wrong. Net neutrality is an idea that needs to be keep because it gives everyone the same chance of accomplishing goals on the internet and freedom of speech.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) has been one of the most controversial medical topics of today. Also commonly known as test tube conception, IVF is a medical procedure of the joining of a woman’s egg and a male’s sperm in a laboratory dish or test tube. “In Vitro” comes from a Latin origin literally meaning “outside the body”, hence the technique. Normally, fertilization takes place inside a woman’s body. The fertilized egg attaches to the lining of the womb and continues to grow until the baby is born nine months later, this process being completely natural and known as an unassisted conception.
In 1939, the first IVF was conducted on rabbits, hamsters, and mice; however, IVF was seen as impossible on a human and was regarded with incredulity into scientific and medical practices across the country. In 1978, the world witnessed the birth of the first “test tube baby,” Louise Brown (Zhao, Brezina, Hsu, Garcia, and Wallch, 2011).
Coleridge successfully illustrates the qualities of imagination in his poem, Kubla Khan, through the sound of words, the creative content and his ability to create and recreate. Coleridge turns the words of the poem into a system of symbols that are suspended in the reader’s mind. Coleridge uses creative powers to establish the infinite I AM, a quality of the primary imagination. Coleridge mirrors his primary and secondary imagination in the poem by taking apart and recreating images. The qualities of imagination discussed in the poem exist independently but also work together to create an imaginative world. It is important to understand how the poem works to achieve these qualities, but also how the poem works to bring the reader back to reality. The powers and qualities of imagination are present in Kubla Khan and it is through Coleridge’s extraordinary writing that the reader is able to experience an imaginative world, in which we alternate between reality and imagination.
