A good radiologist or a foetal medicine specialist can be an expert horoscope maker most of time better than an astrologer because he or she has a better proved scientific approach.
HOW it is done you may wonder?
NT scan
NT scan is the key for him or her to make the horoscope. NT means Nuchael Translucency. It is the thickness of fluid behind the neck in the subcutaneous plane. NT scan is done between 11 weeks and 13 + 6 weeks (not 10 weeks 6 days or at 14 weeks) when the CRI- (total length from crown to rump) is between 45mm and 84mm.
The astrologer needs the correct time of birth and the child’s gender. Here the Doctor needs 5 things to make the horoscope chart.
- The CRL
- NT measurement
- Nasal bone present or absent — all these obtained from scanning the fetus
- From the maternal blood, he or she collects the levels of PAPP-A and
- Free Beta HCG
He or she feeds all these to a computer which is loaded with special software which gives the result as follows
- (a)Low risk (b) Intermediate risk (c) High risk
If the result is low risk, we will give a pass mark and allow the pregnancy to continue. No need to worry. This baby will have a more or less a normal life and will live up to death like any of us with all the pangs and happiness of life.
If the result is intermediate risk, we will give one more chance to the pregnancy by advising NIPT – a blood test for mother. If NIPT is negative, they are like the group mentioned above but if it is positive they fall into high risk category.
The high risk category— It is in this group, unfortunately the horoscope predictions will be bad for these children.
What to do with the high risk group?
To draw a “Thalakury” and predict the future instead of “Star Positions” we make it with four main factors.
- Adenini
- Quaninei
- Cystinom and
- Thyminym which the scientist call nucleotides
For more accurate reading of the Grahanila position we add three components of the nucleotides
(a) Phosphate group (b) A sugar molecule and (c) A nitrogen base
How is this data collected for the horoscope?
We do CVS (chorionic villus Sampling) before 14 weeks of pregnancy or amniocentesis after 16 weeks of pregnancy. These samples contain fetal cells. We culture it outside and multiply the cells. Then we analyse the chromosome and DNA by which we get all the data to draw the Grahanila.
Predictions
Will the parent get a full term baby or will the pregnancy end up in intra uterine fetal death?
If the DNA test comes as Edwards syndrome — trisomy 18 (Extra chromosome 18); PATAVU Syndrome (Trisomy 13); TURNER Syndrome (Monosomy X) ; TRIPLOIDY Hydatid mole ; Osteogenesis imperfect type Il, severe case of congenital diaphragmatic hernia; SMITH LEMLI — OPITS Syndrome
In the above conditions one can predict that most probably the pregnancy will end up in IUD.
By scanning you can decide whether it is a male or female child (We do not reveal this to the patient, as this is against Indian law)
If it is a male child will it have IUD?
X linked recessive disorders (DUCHENNE MUSCULAR DYSTOPHY; Haemophilia A and B ; X linked Hydrocephalus ; X linked severe combined immino deficiency ( SCID); X linked ICHTHYOSIS (severe form of a skin disease), X linked lympho proliferative syndrome ; Menkes disease; X linked MYOTUBULAR MYOPATHY; HUNTER SYNDROME; ORNITHINE TRANSCARBAMYLASE Deficiency – All usually will lead to IUD.
If it is a female fetus will it live up to term?
TURNER SYNDROME (MONOSOMY X); REIT Syndrome; Congenital adrenal hyperplasia; LEIGH syndrome; GOLTS Syndrome, severe form of cystic fibrosis etc. may end up in IUD
In the horoscope we can predict this “BOY” may not reach adulthood — like the story of MARKENDAYAN in Hindu mythology or we can predict the “GIRL” may not reach adulthood.
Also like “SARPADOSHAM” we can indicate this female child will potentially pass the disease to their offsprings.
