Magnetic resonance imaging in the prenatal diagnosis of neural tube defects [PDF]
, 2013 OBJECTIVE: To assess the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the prenatal diagnosis of neural tube defects (NTDs). BACKGROUND: NTDs comprise a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies that derive from the failure of the neural tube to close ...

Replication and exploratory analysis of 24 candidate risk polymorphisms for neural tube defects. [PDF]
, 2014 BackgroundNeural tube defects (NTDs), which are among the most common congenital malformations, are influenced by environmental and genetic factors. Low maternal folate is the strongest known contributing factor, making variants in genes in the folate ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

1210 ACETYLCHOLINESTERASE (AChE) ASSAY FOR PRENATAL DIAGNOSIS OF NEURAL TUBE DEFECTS (NTDs) [PDF]
Pediatric Research, 1981 Amniotic fluid (AF) alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) assay has for some years been the most reliable test for the prenatal diagnosis of NTDs. Recently AChE assay has been proposed as either an alternative or adjunctive diagnostic tool. The non-specificity of AFP and the spurious results that occur with fetal blood contamination have spurred the search for a ...
