The International Consortium for Arthrogryposis: A Collaborative Framework for Early Detection, Care, Research, and Education

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a group of rare congenital conditions, characterized by multiple joint contractures but may involve any body system including central nervous system. AMC is etiologically heterogeneous, with over 400 genetic and many non‐genetic causes implicated in its prenatal development.

Involvement of the CXCL12 System in the Stimulatory Effects of Prenatal Exposure to High-Fat Diet on Hypothalamic Orexigenic Peptides and Behavior in Offspring

Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience, 2017
Exposure to a high fat diet (HFD) during gestation stimulates neurogenesis and expression of hypothalamic orexigenic neuropeptides that affect consummatory and emotional behaviors.

Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...

Developmental differences in cortical bone structure in chimpanzee and human femora reflect early locomotor independence in humans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The cortical bone structure of long bone diaphyses changes throughout growth via skeletal modeling and has important implications for bone strength and structural integrity. Ontogenetic trends in diaphyseal structure have been identified in both chimpanzees and humans but it is not yet clear how these trends compare given notable differences ...

Investigating the changes in skin color representation within US medical textbook imagery

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Medical education traditionally relies on textbooks with limited representation of dark skin tones, contributing to “visual racism.” This study sought to answer: “To what extent has skin‐of‐color representation changed in widely used U.S. medical textbooks over twenty years?” Older and newer editions of four widely used medical textbooks were ...

Prenatal exposure to extremely low frequency magnetic field and its impact on fetal growth

Environmental Health, 2019
Objective Studies on the effect of prenatal exposure to magnetic field (MF) on fetal growth is inconclusive and subject to some methodological limitations, particularly in measurement of MF exposure.

Maternal prenatal substance use and behavior problems among children in the U.S. [PDF]

Prenatal exposure to smoking and alcohol-use is found to be correlated with various adverse consequences for children, including behavior problems. However, it is not clear whether this relationship is an artifact of underlying confounding factors that ...
