The issue of high cholesterol can sometimes run in families. If an individual has two normal alleles, then he is phenotypically
statuscvo [17]
In the case of the gene that determines high cholesterol in the blood, the two alleles express incomplete dominance.
What this means is that the dominant allele is not completely dominant over the recessive allele. If the allele was completely dominant, even one allele would be enough to determine the individual's trait as dominant. But in the case of incomplete dominance between the alleles, the heterozygous individuals that have one dominant and one recessive allele are an ''in between'' phenotype.

a wemen admitted at 24 weeks gestation with rupture of membranes maternal fever what is likely to be helpful
MArishka [77]
<span>If a woman at 24 weeks gestation period has had a rupture of membranes (breaking of the amniotic sac) along with maternal fever, it is likely that she might have premature labor.

There is a high chance for infection since the open membranes harbor bacteria which can enter the womb. Also, the loss of water (amniotic fluid) can affect the growth of the lungs and the body formation of the fetus.

The first step after reaching the hospital will be to check if there is a PROM (premature rupture of membranes) and if the amniotic fluid is leaking from the vagina. For this, many tests can be performed like the Sterile speculum exam, Nitrazine test, Pooling test etc. An Ultrasound is also performed, along with other Immune-chromatological tests.

If the PROM is positive, it is likely that the baby, weighing almost 750 gms, will be delivered within the next 24 hours.
