1 An appreciation of cultural diversity goes hand-in-hand with a just and equitable society. 2  For example, research has shown that when students' cultures are understood and appreciated by teachers, the students do better in school.
Ectopic pregnancy occurs at a rate of 19.7 cases per 1,000 pregnancies in North America and is a leading cause of maternal mortality in the first trimester. Greater awareness of risk factors and improved technology (biochemical markers and ultrasonography) allow ectopic pregnancy to be identified before the development of life-threatening events.
However, about one in every 100 pregnancies are whatâs called ectopic. An ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilised egg implants outside your womb (uterus), most often in one of your fallopian tubes. The fertilised egg canât survive and you may need immediate treatment to prevent any complications.
