Seasonal and geographic patterns of gastroschisis in Canada: protective effect of periconceptional sunlight exposure [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundGastroschisis is a right−sided, full−thickness defect with extra-amnionic herniation of abdominal contents directly into the amniotic cavity. The causes of gastroschisis remain obscure.

Redefining fetal growth restriction using gastroschisis‐specific growth curves [PDF]

Pregnancy
Introduction Fetal growth restriction (FGR) occurs in a significant proportion of pregnancies complicated by gastroschisis. Due to abdominal organ herniation, fetal abdominal circumference often measures less than expected when using Hadlock biometric ...

Labor Induction Versus Expectant Management-A Scoping Review of Randomized Controlled Trial Evidence. [PDF]

J Obstet Gynaecol Res
ABSTRACT Background Induction of labor is increasingly used across diverse obstetric indications, yet uncertainty persists regarding its impact on neonatal outcomes compared with expectant management across gestational ages. This scoping review aimed to map the scope, characteristics, and findings of randomized controlled trial (RCT) evidence comparing

Sutureless Abdominal Closure in twin gastroschisis

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Case Reports, 2021
Gastroschisis is the most common congenital abdominal wall defect and the incidence of gastroschisis is increasing globally. Twin gastroschisis remains an extremely rare phenomenon. We present a case of premature dizygotic twins with simple gastroschisis

A case of vanishing gastroschisis with short bowel syndrome treated by total parenteral nutrition and intestinal lengthening procedures

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2023
The diagnosis of vanishing gastroschisis is made when in the presence of a full-thickness intrauterine abdominal wall defect the eviscerated loops are incarcerated in the fascial interruption. Four types of vanishing gastroschisis are described (A–D). We

The impact of illicit and licit drugs on the incidence of gastroschisis in a developing country

Journal of Pediatric Surgery Open, 2023
Background: Gastroschisis is a congenital malformation of unknown cause. Publications from developed countries associate its incidence with illicit and licit drug use. Our objective was to analyze the impact of illicit and licit drugs on the incidence of
