The Frequency and Distribution of Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) at Arthur Davison Children Hospital (ADCH), Ndola Zambia

open access: yesInternational Journal of Neurologic Physical Therapy, 2021
Summary/Abstract Background: Neural tube defects (NTDs) are one of the commonest malformations with worldwide prevalence of 1-3 per1000 live births. They are resulted by failure of neural tube to close during neurulation in 21-28 embryonic days and it’s a multi-factorial in etiology.

Alphaviral Capsid Proteins Inhibit Stress Granule Assembly via Competitive RNA Binding With G3BP1

open access: yesAdvanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 20, 9 April 2026.
Stress granules exert antiviral functions. This study illustrates a conserved function of alphaviral capsid proteins in modulating stress granules. Oligomerization mediated by a helical motif coupled with a positively charged intrinsically disordered region (IDR) directly competes with G3BP1 for RNA binding, thereby disrupting G3BP1‐RNA liquid–liquid ...

Preconception One‐Carbon Metabolism Nutrient Levels in Preparing for Pregnancy Couples and Spontaneous Pregnancy Loss: A Prospective Cohort Study

open access: yesMedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
One‐carbon metabolism (OCM) nutrients play a critical role in fetal development and are implicated in the etiology of spontaneous pregnancy loss (SPL). In our large cohort study, we report for the first time that paternal red blood cell folate levels ≥ 400 ng/mL—consistent with the World Health Organization's recommendation for neural tube defect ...

Exposing imidacloprid interferes with neurogenesis through impacting on chick neural tube cell survival [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
As a neonicotinoid pesticide, imidacloprid is widely used to control insects in agriculture and fleas on domestic animals. However, it is not known whether imidacloprid exposure negatively affects neurogenesis during embryonic development. In this study,

The Frequency And Distribution Of Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) at Arthur Davison Children Hospital (ADCH)

open access: yes, 2021
Background: Neural Tube Defects (NTDs) are the world's second most common birth defects after cardiovascular defects. In developing countries like Zambia, these defects are unrecognized and under reported. Despite the administration of folic acid, there have been incidences of NTDs though no local literature points out the frequency of these defects ...

Determination of Folate Bioavailability From Brewer's Yeast in a Dual Isotope Randomized Human Intervention Study

open access: yesMolecular Nutrition &Food Research, Volume 70, Issue 7, 15 April 2026.
A human pilot study with a novel dual isotope design was performed to assess the bioavailability of brewer's yeast folate as a model food. The study‘s outcome was that the folates from intrinsically 15N‐labeled yeast revealed a mean bioavailability of 74 %.

Abnormal methylation caused by folic acid deficiency in neural tube defects

open access: yesOpen Life Sciences, 2022
Neural tube closure disorders, including anencephaly, spina bifida, and encephalocele, cause neural tube defects (NTDs). This congenital disability remained not only a major contributor to the prevalence of stillbirths and neonatal deaths but also a ...

The Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (2025): Overview and Future Directions for the Pregnant and Lactating Women's Section

open access: yesJournal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research, Volume 52, Issue 3, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Aim Guided by the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease framework, maternal nutrition influences perinatal outcomes and lifelong offspring health. This commentary summarizes the pregnant and lactating women's section of Dietary Reference Intakes for Japanese (2025), contextualizes them within current Japanese evidence, and identifies ...
