Women's preferences for NIPT as a first-line test in England and France: Challenges for genetic counseling practices by Perrot, A, Clarke, A, Vassy, C, Horn, RJ

“…Our findings show that most women express a preference for the offer of NIPT as a first-line screening test. Some issues with the contingent model, related to the access to information and termination of pregnancy (TOP), the disparities of NIPT uptake, and risks of generating anxiety with combined first-trimester screening (cFTS), could be addressed by a universal strategy for T21, T13, and T18. …”

Phytochemical analysis and cytotoxic effects of mango (Mangifera indica L) kernel on breast cancer cell lines by Abdullah, Al-Shwyeh Hussah
