Aspiration pneumonia refers to pneumonia caused by accidental inhalation (aspiration) of food, drink, or vomit into the lungs. Swallowing difficulties, or conditions such as alcohol intoxication, confusion, or decreased mental alertness, may lead to aspiration pneumonia.
Karyotype is a test to identify and evaluate the size, shape, and number of chromosomes in a sample of body cells. Extra or missing chromosomes, or abnormal positions of chromosome pieces, can cause problems with a person's growth, development, and body functions.
A karyotype is the number and appearance of chromosomes in the nucleus of a eukaryote cell. There are 46 chromosomes in a human karyotype. However, there are twenty-three pairs. In a karyotype, chromosomes are showed in pairs, because twenty-three are from one parent, and twenty-three are from another.
