Sammanfattning Samarbetet med föräldrar är en viktig faktor för att barnens förskoletid och skolgång ska bli så bra som möjligt. Utifrån detta är syftet med vårt examensarbete att få en inblick i hur föräldrar till barn som har Downs syndrom ser på sina barns skolgång. Vår frågeställning lyder:  Vilken möjlighet att välja skolform för sina barn upplever de föräldrar som svarat på enkäten att de har?  Hur ser de föräldrar som svarat på enkäten på sina barns skolplacering?  Om de föräldrar som svarat på enkäten hade möjlighet att välja, vad avgjorde deras val?  Har barnens födelseår någon påverk

Background: Down syndrome (DS) is the most common cause of intellectual disability in children. The child has an extra chromosome in the 21st chromosome pair. It is important that the nurse is comfortable within their own field of knowledge in order to give every individual the specific care they need. Becoming a parent is a major event in people's lives and it can be fraught with joy and anxietya bout the future.

Keratoconus is a primary cause of visual impairment in young people in the UK. Corneal cross-linking is a recently-introduced treatment for halting progression of keratoconus, which is more effective in early cases. It has long been observed that keratoconus is significantly more prevalent in those with Down’s syndrome (DS) when compared to the general population. Moreover, young people with Down’s syndrome are less able to report early symptoms of keratoconus, often presenting late to eye clinics when cross-linking is no longer possible.

The prevalence of OSA has great variation among different countries but are relatively high, ranging from 57% to 79%. OSA was significant associated with obesity

Obstructive sleep apnoea/hypopnoea syndrome (OSAHS) is characterised by repeated cycles of upper airway obstruction during sleep, leading to diurnal symptoms.

Around 2-4% of the general adult population and 55% of children with DS have OSAHS but, to date, no large-scale study has assessed OSAHS prevalence or efficacy of treatment in DS adults. This study aimed to: 1) Systematically assess subjective and objective OSAHS prevalence; 2) Assess the effectiveness of continuous positive

Fysisk aktivitet förebygger och behandlar folksjukdomar hos den generella populationen. För att främja hälsa ska sjuksköterskan utföra hälsofrämjande omvårdnad. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa betydelsen av hälsofrämjande fysisk aktivitet hos personer med Downs syndrom. Metod: Studien är utformad som en allmän litteraturstudie. Resultat: Datamaterialet analyserades och tre huvudteman framkom: Hälso

Abstract:
Down syndrome (DS) is associated with psychomotor retardation, short stature and endocrine dysfunction. Statural growth is a well-known indicator of health. The growth in DS differs markedly from that of other children and there is a 20 cm reduction of final height as compared to target height. We developed growth charts specific for Swedish children with DS, in order to facilitate early diagnosis of concomitant diseases that influence growth. The growth charts are available for paediatricians and child health care professionals in Sweden. The mechanism underlying the impaired growth in DS is

Abstract:
Abstract The aim of the present study was to evaluate the efficacy of the first trimester screening for Down syndrome (DS) in an unselected low-risk Finnish population. The study involved 4,617 women who attended screening between the 8th and 14th weeks of pregnancy in 1998-2000. They gave a blood sample for the measurement of pregnancy associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) and free beta human chorionic gonadotrophin (β-hCG). Of these women, 3,178 also had an ultrasound examination for the measurement of fetal nuchal translucency (NT). The risk figure for every screened woman was calculated usi

Abstract The purpose of this study was to evaluate extended first trimester screening for severe chromosomal disorders and adverse pregnancy outcomes in singleton pregnancies among the general population in Finland. Maternal serum biochemical markers, pregnancy associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) and free beta human chorionic gonadotropin (fβ-hCG), and fetal nuchal translucency (NT) thickness were measured during the gestational weeks 8+0–13+6. A computerized risk figure program was used to calculate an individual risk figure for chromosomal disorders. It was investigated whether the screenin

<p>The birth of a child marks a new era for the parents. It is the beginning of something that will never end, because they will always be the child´s parents. This study investigates what happens when an infant is born whit Downs syndrome (Ds), and thus does not resemble the child the parents had expected. The purpose of this literature study was to describe the information and the support that the parents of a newborn child with Ds think that they need. The literature search was made in the database of Medline (via Pub Med), Academic Search Elite and manual search. Twenty one scientific arti

Abstract:
Representations of people with a developmental disability are virtually not covered in the media. Although there is little coverage of people with developmental disabilities in the media, there are a few entertainment television characters who have Down syndrome and are represented in the media. This study will take a look at the history of how people with disabilities were represented in the media and examine how two television characters with Down syndrome were portrayed on the shows by examining their self-esteem. This study seeks to focus on portrayal of people with Down Syndrome because t
