Constitutionalizing abortion in Brazil

open access: yesRevista de Investigações Constitucionais, 2018
Brazil has been constitutionalizing disputes on women’s right to terminate unwanted pregnancy. This paper explains how this process started with the drafting of the new constitution in 1986-87, and evolved in different arenas, the legislative, the ...

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

A blueprint for fortification planning and programming: Lessons learned from an analytical review of existing fortification frameworks

open access: yesMaternal &Child Nutrition, Volume 22, Issue 1, March 2026.
The proposed Fortification Blueprint provides a call to action (and a mechanism to operationalize the call) around the need to take a renewed look at fortification programmes to address historically persistent challenges. Abstract With multiple food fortification frameworks, countries can find it challenging to determine optimal methods for planning ...

Anencephaly and its Associated Malformations [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2014
Introduction: Anencephaly is a serious neural tube defect in which parts of the brain and skull are not developed. But apart from this it is also associated with other malformations which are not related to neural tube in development.

Improper Supplementation Habits of Folic Acid Intake by Hungarian Pregnant Women: Improper Recommendations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Background: Neural tube defects (NTDs) are some of the most common congenital anomalies. Proper folic acid supplementation is a dominant risk factor, which has been shown to decrease the incidence of NTDs.

A Human Neural Tube Model Using 4D Self‐Folding Smart Scaffolds

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 5, 2 February 2026.
Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) exhibit features comparable to the inner cell mass of the human embryo. iPSCs are applied to a novel self‐folding 4D‐Neural Tube (4D‐NT) structure that mimics the neurulation process. This 4D‐NT model recapitulates early events of human neural development and represents a platform to explore neurodevelopmental ...

Congenital malformations at a referral hospital in Gorgan, Islamic Republic of Iran [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
This study recorded the rate of congenital malformations in 10 000 births at a referral hospital in Gorgan, Islamic Republic of Iran in 1998-99. The overall incidence of congenital malformations was 1.01% (1.19% in males and 0.76% in females).

The recurrence risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) in a population with high prevalence of NTDs in northern China [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
BACKGROUND: Although a number of studies have reported the recurrence risk of NTDs in developed countries, there is little data on the rate of recurrence of NTDs in northern China, a region of high prevalence of NTDs.

Effectiveness of Multivitamins vs Folic Acid on Prevention of Neural Tube Defects in Mouse Genetic Models and Human Organoids

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, 9 February 2026.
Folic acid (FA) and multivitamins/minerals (MVM) are recommended for the prevention of neural tube defects (NTDs). Using a novel human neural tube‐like organoid system and mouse models, the study compares the effectiveness of two supplements on NTDs and cellular behaviors.
