Hey I went over some off the information out there for the assignment including Pubmed and the other one and I have found some simple information that will help us with writting up the assignment. Some of the websites go over the same thing over and over again but I thought that it would be helpful to write the introduction.The links to the websites are below and some of these will only be useful for pictures but we need the pictures anyway.

1.Procedure: http://adam.about.com/encyclopedia/Percutaneous-umbilical-cord-blood-sampling-series.htm

2. General Information: http://www.americanpregnancy.org/prenataltesting/percutaneousumbilical.html

3. Similarities and Difference to other procedures: http://www.umm.edu/pregnancy/000229.htm

4. Help with writing the Introduction: http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Handbook_of_Genetic_Counseling/Percutaneous_Umbilical_Blood_Sampling

5. Helps with the Introduction: http://www.mombaby.org/index.php?c=-1&s=14&p=45

6.Basic Information: http://www.labtestsonline.org/understanding/wellness/second_cordo.html

I also wanted to know who is taking what on board for the assignment cause really we should have by the end of next week have most of the planning finished. I am happy to take on the Introduction, The History Section, Methodology, Risk associated and ill actually try having half of the list done by next week and the post it up here so that everyone go through it and make sure if everything is right.

The next thing i wanted to ask is if either of you were will to take the layout of the website into consideration. It would be nice to have a brief structure of the layout and to tell you the truth im not really good with spacially arranging things so yeah. Just post a message up if you are willing to take this is on board.

Also please feel free to add info you find that might help us on the disscussion cause Mark Hill is gonna be going through this every week. Again feel free to change anything you think may make the assignemnt better.

Hey guys over the last week i have been looking at different websites that may have a similar structure to the website we have to create, and this is just my so called ideas on how we could structure the website. So my structure of the website goes a little like this:

1. Title

2. Introduction - Gives basic information on the topic. A brief overview of the prenatal diagnostic method

3. History - The history of the method. Who was the first doctor to use it, when, where, why and so on. We could add the advance in how the technique is done here or in the next section.

4. Methodology - So this would be a step by step instructions of how the technique is done.

5. Similarities and Differences to other methods - This would include a table with other methods and we would compare. Stating the disadvantages and advantages and so on. We could then go on to compare the 2 closest methods in more detail (paragraph form)

6. Risk Associated - This would simply outline the risks of the procedure.

7. Ethical Issues - If any are found

8. References

So that pretty much what I've come up with over the last week. Feel free to add your comments. I'll also try to find some information on the method itself.

Thanks --Sayanthan Kumaran 10:00, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

the subheadings are good i reckon. pretty much covers everything we need to talk about. just remember we'll need to add a glossary in at the end and some self-drawn diagrams that would probably fit best in the method section. so how do you guys wanna split up the topics? i was thinking someone could do intro and history, someone else method and pros and cons and the third person could do risks and ethical issues. what do you think? sayanthan what do you mean by the layout? shouldn't we just structure in the order above from intro to ethical issues, using them as headings? and then within the headings you can divide into subheadings, use diagrams or tables according to what works best for the info... i guess we'll work it out when we get all our information so we know how best to convey it. do you guys have any section you would prefer to do? --Shereen Sidhu 11:30, 18 August 2010 (UTC)
