The silent tragic reality of Hidden Hunger, anaemia, and neural-tube defects (NTDs) in India. [PDF]
Lancet Reg Health Southeast Asia, 2022 Hidden Hunger arising from nutritional iron-, folate-, and vitamin-B12-deficiencies is exceedingly common in India and has profound negative impacts on anaemia, on pregnancy, and on embryonic-foetal neurodevelopment in utero, which predisposes to NTDs and psychological-psychiatric manifestations in childhood. Whereas younger-to-middle-aged Indians fail

The recurrence risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) in a population with high prevalence of NTDs in northern China. [PDF]
Oncotarget, 2017 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.Based on the population-based birth defects surveillance system of five counties, we identified women who had an NTD affected pregnancy from 2004 ...

Morphological Variants and Factors Associated With Neural Tube Defects at a Regional Referral Hospital. [PDF]
Health Sci RepABSTRACT Background Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) remain a significant public health concern, especially in low‐resource settings. This study investigated the morphological variants of NTDs and identified factors associated with their development among neonates at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital (MRRH).

Prenatal exome sequencing of fetuses with central nervous system anomalies based on prenatal ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging diagnosis: A retrospective cohort study with a systematic review and meta-analysis. [PDF]
Acta Obstet Gynecol ScandPrenatal exome sequencing significantly improves diagnostic yield over chromosomal microarray analysis for fetal CNS abnormalities, with a diagnostic yield of 16% in our cohort and 27% in the meta‐analysis. Diagnostic yields vary across different phenotypes. Abstract Introduction Fetal central nervous system (CNS) abnormalities have diverse etiologies,

Folic Acid and the Prevention of Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Public Health, 2002 To outline specific challenges facing public health in Canada that need to be addressed to ensure that all women of childbearing years can attain optimal folate status for prevention of NTDs.The new Dietary Reference Intake (DRI) for folate was examined in terms of the literature on the effective form of the vitamin, the level of folic acid provided by

TOENAIL ZINC (Zn) IN MOTHERS OF PROGENY WITH NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS (NTDS) [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1984 Diet-induced Zn deficiency in pregnant rats is known to cause cong. malfs. in 90-100% of their progeny, some 3% having spina bifida(SB).Mothers of children with SB have been reported to have high concentrations of hair Zn. Recent UK claims suggest vitamin A/folic acid periconceptional supplementation dramatically reduces the rate of recurrence of NTDs ...

NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS (NTD): FAMILY STUDIES [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1984 A population of 360 families, with at least one child with anencephaly and/or myelomeningocele or encephalomeningocele was ascertained by multiple selection in the Southern Poland where the birth prevalence of NTD is 0.89/1000. The probability of ascertairment π equalled 0:64; The population birth prevalence of NTD and the prevalence of NTD among the ...

THE CONTRIBUTION OF COBALAMINE METABOLISM TO GENETIC LIABILITY OF NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS (NTD) [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1992 To check the hypothesis that alteration of cobalamine metabolism may contribute to the etiology of NTD, serum and amniotic fluid levels of total transcobalamlnes (STTC, FTTC) and transcobalamine II (STCII, FTCII) were studied in the pregnancies of high and low risk for NTD development.
