Hey guys so I've rethought the structure a bit and added some detail that we should look into:
1. Historic background:
- When was it first used?
- How was the technique development?
- The key scientists involved.
- Trends in its use.
2. Procedure
- Who is eligible for the procedure?
- Are there women/couples more suited to the test? (e.g family history in genetic disorders or previous birth with a genetic defect)
- When is the test taken during pregnancy?
- How is the procedure performed? Method, steps involved.
3. Risks
- Side effects, complications, short and long term (short term like infections, long term possible effects to the baby, abortion or induced early birth?)
- Could do an advantages/disadvantages table maybe?
4. Disorders detected
- What components of the amniotic fluid do they isolate and analyse, and what do they test for? (I read that there are a few hundred disorders that they can test for but the parents and doctor only choose certain ones for them to test, and also there are some main ones so maybe we'll just pick the most common ones and do those, e.g. chromosomal disorders like Down syndrome and neural tube defects like spina bifida).
5. Diagnostic accuracy
- How accurate is the testing, statistics.
6. Ethical issues
- Professional and public opinions about the test, is it a more common diagnostic technique?
7. Current research
- Is there any current research being done to improve the procedure? There may not be...
What do you guys think? If there's anything you think we should add post it up top (apparently we're supposed to post new things at the top of the page) if not then we should think how to split up the workload so we can start getting into it.
Tegan.

Hey guys so I've rethought the structure a bit and added some detail that we should look into:

1. Historic background:

- When was it first used?

- How was the technique development?

- The key scientists involved.

- Trends in its use.

2. Procedure

- Who is eligible for the procedure?

- Are there women/couples more suited to the test? (e.g family history in genetic disorders or previous birth with a genetic defect)

- When is the test taken during pregnancy?

- How is the procedure performed? Method, steps involved.

3. Risks

- Side effects, complications, short and long term (short term like infections, long term possible effects to the baby, abortion or induced early birth?)

- Could do an advantages/disadvantages table maybe?

4. Disorders detected

- What components of the amniotic fluid do they isolate and analyse, and what do they test for? (I read that there are a few hundred disorders that they can test for but the parents and doctor only choose certain ones for them to test, and also there are some main ones so maybe we'll just pick the most common ones and do those, e.g. chromosomal disorders like Down syndrome and neural tube defects like spina bifida).

5. Diagnostic accuracy

- How accurate is the testing, statistics.

6. Ethical issues

- Professional and public opinions about the test, is it a more common diagnostic technique?

7. Current research

- Is there any current research being done to improve the procedure? There may not be...


What do you guys think? If there's anything you think we should add post it up top (apparently we're supposed to post new things at the top of the page) if not then we should think how to split up the workload so we can start getting into it. Tegan.

Areas to look into:

1. Historic Background

2. Procedure, method.

3. Complications

4. Benefits, what disorders can be detected and prevented, option of abortion.

5. Current research on the procedure

Anything else you guys can think of to include?

nice work! i think '4.Benefits, what disorders can be detected and prevented, option of abortion' would be a big one, maybe whoever takes that one just has that point, and the other two ppl take two points each? what do you guys think?

hi everybody!
