PREIMPLANTATION GENETIC DIAGNOSIS (PGD)- A process whereby a single blastomere (cell) from an 4 to 8 cell embryo (two to three days after egg collection during the IVF process) is removed, fixed, and subjected to a number of DNA probes.
"catalepsy ", "cataract ", "catheter ", "cell ", "T helper cell ", "cellulitis ", "chromosome ", "cilium ", "cirrhosis ", "bronciolitis ", "claudication ", "clitoris ", "crown ", "decay ", "disease ", "emphysema ", "privacy ", "probability ", "probe ...
Once DNA samples and test results are received, PGD scientists build a probe specifically for your family. When the probe is complete, the couple proceeds with their IVF cycle.
This DNA is called a "probe." Probes can find matching segments of DNA when added to cells under certain conditions.
The procedure of genetic screening is the binding of a probe to a DNA molecule of the patient. Complementary DNA nucleotide sequences bind together, so the probe is single stranded DNA that binds to it's "mate" in the patient.
(!) They had to put a probe on the baby's head to monitor her and when they did, they saw I was fully dilated and could start pushing. They took the gas & air off me and told me to use the pain to push her out.
Transvaginal ultrasound: an ultrasound examination performed by means of inserting a probe into the vagina. This can produce better images in early pregnancy that could be obtained with conventional abdominal sonograms.
The device consists of a desktop main unit and a number of small probes, designed to measure SOS at different sites. The probe was moved across the mid-tibial plane, searching for the site with maximal reading.
Vaginal ultrasound - Placing a probe into the vagina and using sound waves to view the follicles, ovaries, eggs, fetus, and other internal organs.
A fetal doppler consists of a main piece or “body' about the size of the palm of your hand, a built-in speaker, and a probe.
FISH uses probes - small pieces of DNA that are "labeled" with a fluorescent dye.
Kids attracted to a particular area or sector of learning will need more opportunities and options to probe in detail and depth. Your kid needs your active and hearty support to develop the perceived talents.
With both, you lie on your back on an exam table while your belly or a probe is lubed up with a special gel.

A small probe called a transducer (similar to a microphone) is placed on the mother's abdomen and sends out ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency too high to be heard.
Fetal Doppler - A special instrument that uses a probe to detect high frequency sound waves that are produced by the fetal heart. By the 12th week of gestation, the heartbeat can generally be heard consistently, using the fetal doppler.
A vaginal ultrasound is done with a wand-shaped probe covered with a latex sheath (like a condom). The doctor will apply some lubricant and gently insert the ultrasound into your vagina.
This test can be done with an abdominal or vaginal probe depending on the stage of the pregnancy and what they are looking for. The transducer or probe sends out high frequency sound waves which are sent into the body.
An ultrasound transducer capable of assessing blood flow contains a Doppler probe. The Doppler probe within the transducer evaluates the velocity and direction of blood flow in the vessel by making the sound waves audible.
The ovaries are visualized on the ultrasound screen, and the needle, which is attached to the ultrasound probe, is directed into the follicles, which are aspirated with gentle suction.
However, in order to attach the probe, Rita's water needed to be broken. The OB used a small tool, and a small movement of her hand caused a prick of the membranes, resulting in a slow discharge of fluids.
It works by transmitting sounds at a very high pitch, via a probe through your abdomen in a narrow beam width.
A Doppler probe within the ultrasound transducer evaluates the velocity and direction of blood flow in the vessel by bouncing high-frequency sound waves off of red blood cells.
The technician uses a hand-held ultrasound probe (or 'transducer') to generate and receive high frequency sound waves that cannot be heard by the human ear. Hundreds of sound waves are emitted from the transducer during each scan.
The closer the ultrasound probe tip is from the object being viewed, the clearer the sonographic picture.
During this examination, a probe is gently applied against the abdomen. The probe transmits sound waves through the body tissues, receives the echoes, and transforms them into diagnostic images.
The person performing the test places a clear, water-based gel on your belly and pelvis area and then moves a hand-held probe over the area. The gel helps the probe transmit sound waves.
Whether it be through a vaginal probe or a abdominal ultrasound, the ultrasound images are are the first pictures you will have of your new baby.

Transabdominal ultrasound will provide a panoramic view of the abdomen and pelvis and is noninvasive, whereas transvaginal ultrasound provides a more limited pelvic view and requires insertion of a probe into the vagina.
Transvaginal ultrasonography
Ultrasonography which sends into the pelvic cavity and receives ultrasonic waves through the vagina by using a probe placed inside the vagina.
