Prenatal is defined and the advancement of prenatal testing. The essay evaluates the current and novel techniques of prenatal testing. PAPP-A, B-hCG, the accuracy of NIPT, is described. Amniocentesis and chronic villus sampling diagnosis are discussed. Followed by a discussion of molecular advances such as FISH, MPLA. Subsequently, newer technology evaluating genomic microarray analysis is discussed. References are given

Critically discuss molecular advances in prenatal testing. How have these advances impacted upon patient care? Haematology is defined and background information is provided on the haemopoietic hierarchy and stem cell differentiation and current stem cell disorders. Followed by how morphologic assessment is carried out - methods and stains for myeloid and leukemic lymphoblasts. Then, cytogenetic analysis is discussed. PCR and miRNAs techniques are discussed. References provided

Describe and appraise the basic requests of biocompatibility for implants, explain why pure metals (except for the noble metals) are less biocompatible than ceramic. Critically discuss the adverse interactions between metal, polymeric implants and sounding environment in human body and the associated causes respectively. Illustrate your answer with one example of soft tissue and one example of hard tissue implants. Model answer defining biocompatibility, the process of foreign body reaction to ...
