Diagnostic Yield of Post‐Mortem Fetal Micro‐CT for Central Nervous System Abnormalities

open access: yesPrenatal Diagnosis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objectives This study demonstrates the central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities detected using fetal post‐mortem micro‐focus computed tomography (Micro‐CT), independent of whether the abnormality contributed to the main diagnosis or cause of death.

Anencephaly: A pathological study of 41 cases

open access: yesJournal of the Scientific Society, 2012
Background : Anencephaly is a lethal neural tube defect which is due to the defective closure of rostral pore of neural tube. In more than 50% of cases it is associated with other systemic anomalies. Hence this study was undertaken to assess pathological

Transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and fetal blood–brain barriers and its safety for use in pregnancy

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Paracetamol (acetaminophen) is commonly taken during pregnancy for pain and fever. To gain a more comprehensive understanding of paracetamol's effects during pregnancy, several elements need to be examined including the transfer of paracetamol across the placenta and into the developing brain, the short‐ and long‐term effects of ...

Case series of cranial and spinal dysraphism

open access: yesNational Journal of Clinical Anatomy, 2022
Neural tube defects (NTDs) are the second most common cause of congenital anomaly worldwide (cardiac anomalies is the first). The 3rd and 4th week of gestation is the critical period for neural tube development. Multiple genetic and environmental factors

Virus‐specific alterations in placental structure and transporter expression following maternal arbovirus infection

open access: yesThe Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Arboviruses induce virus‐specific alterations in placental structure and functional markers. Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) exposure was associated with reduced syncytiotrophoblast and syncytial knot areas, increased cytotrophoblast proliferation (Ki‐67) and thyroid transporter (MCT8) expression, reduced protective (P‐gp and BCRP ...
