Download or read book Reducing Birth Defects written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2003-10-27 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Each year more than 4 million children are born with birth defects. This book highlights the unprecedented opportunity to improve the lives of children and families in developing countries by preventing some birth defects and reducing the consequences of others. A number of developing countries with more comprehensive health care systems are making significant progress in the prevention and care of birth defects. In many other developing countries, however, policymakers have limited knowledge of the negative impact of birth defects and are largely unaware of the affordable and effective interventions available to reduce the impact of certain conditions. Reducing Birth Defects: Meeting the Challenge in the Developing World includes descriptions of successful programs and presents a plan of action to address critical gaps in the understanding, prevention, and treatment of birth defects in developing countries. This study also recommends capacity building, priority research, and institutional and global efforts to reduce the incidence and impact of birth defects in developing countries.

This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this course is to provide participants with the foundational skills needed to begin the development implementation and ongoing improvement of a congenital anomalies surveillance programme in particular for countries with limited resources. It focuses on the methodology needed to develop either population-based or hospitalbased surveillance programmes. A set of congenital anomalies will be used as examples throughout this course. The specific examples used are typically severe enough that they would probably be captured within the first few days after birth have a significant public health impact and for some of them have the potential for primary prevention. Target audience This course is designed for individuals who are directly involved in the development implementation and daily activities related to congenital anomalies surveillance programmes in their countries and who will directly teach others. Learning objectives By the end of this course participants will be able to: 1. describe how to use data for the development of prevention campaigns and policy/programme evaluation; 2. describe how to best present data to policy-makers; 3. identify selected major external congenital anomalies for monitoring; 4. describe the tools needed to ascertain and code congenital anomalies; 5. describe the processes for managing and analysing data; 6. demonstrate how to calculate the birth prevalence of congenital anomalies.
Download or read book Birth Defects in India written by Anita Kar and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-07-08 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the epidemiology of birth defects and their public health and social implications in India. As neglected childhood disorders, birth defects remain invisible in global maternal and child health dialogues. Birth defects services are emerging in India. This book approaches birth defects from a public health perspective, identifying the core functions of a birth defects service. Keeping in mind the complex task of providing multidisciplinary services for children with disabilities and complex medical conditions, the book examines the basic public health activities that have been put in place to address these conditions in India. The book describes birth defects surveillance and the challenges of acquiring accurate and timely data on birth defects against the background of India’s mixed health system. It discusses opportunities for prevention of birth defects and describes the structure and function of an emergent genetic service. It explores issues related to an integrated service for children with special healthcare needs, such as screening, early intervention, and rehabilitation. Furthermore, it describes the impact of these conditions on caregivers, including birth defects stigma. This book not only addresses a knowledge gap in the field of public health in India, but also explores the broader issues of services for children with disabilities and disabling conditions in low and low-middle income settings where access to health care is not universal. Given the depth and breadth of its coverage, the book offers an essential resource for birth defects researchers, researchers in the field of maternal and child health, public health/ global health, disability researchers, and researchers from the fields of rehabilitation sciences, nursing and anthropology. This book will be a valuable read for social medicine/community medicine departments, global health courses, and public health schools in India and other low middle-income countries.

This book was released on 2017-05 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North Carolina Surveillance of Birth Defects Careful monitoring of birth defects is of special importance given that North Carolina had the tenth highest 1985 rate of infant mortality in the United States (1) and that for 1984 - 86 congenital anomalies were the most frequent underlying cause of death for infants up to one year of age (figure They were also the second most frequent for children one to four years of age (figure Congenital anomalies were the state's seventh leading cause of years of potential life lost (table accounting for percent of all such years. Public concern regarding the effects of drugs and environmental toxins and teratogens suggests the need for keen surveillance of the relationship between such products and congenital anomalies. Comparing state rates of anomaly to national benchmarks might clarify links between anomalies and various drugs, chemicals, and environmental contaminants, thus reducing the possibility of another thalidomide-like tragedy. Detection of such links might also provide early warning signals for diseases such as cancer, where the latency period is usually longer than that of a birth defect.
