Download or read book Mortality and Maldevelopment written by Harold Kalter and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-02-28 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congenital malformations are worldwide occurrences striking in every condition of society. These severe physical abnormalities which are present at birth and affecting every part of the body happen more often than usually realized, once in every 33 births. The most common, after heart defects, are those of the neural tube (the brain and spinal cord) which happen in as many as one in every 350 births. They have been noted as curiousities in man and beast throughout recorded history and received great attention in our time by various fields of study, for example, their faulty prenatal development by embryologists, familial patterns by geneticists, causation by environmentalists and variability by population scientists. Attention turned much in recent years to the relation of these malformations to deficiency of a particular dietary ingredient, folic acid, a subject this book analyzes in depth. The greatest conundrum of all, which this latest matter like so much else hinges on, is the amazing fact of the tremendous, almost universal decrease in the frequency of these anomalies since early in the 20th century. The puzzle is ‘What can this downward trend possibly mean?’ and at bottom ‘Whether it is part of a long-term cyclical pattern’. This fascinating biological phenomenon is explored in the book together with various other topics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neural tube defects affect about 4000 pregnancies each year and are thus among the most common of severe birth defects. Prenatal diagnosis can now detect about 70% of neural tube defects but the tests produce many false positives, so the question is under what circumstances should they be recommended. This comprehensive volume - the collective knowledge of more than 55 experts in the field - provides lucid and authoritative discussions on this topic as well as on a wide variety of theoretical, experimental, and clinical issues.

Book Human Malformations and Related Anomalies

Download or read book Human Malformations and Related Anomalies written by Roger E. Stevenson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2005-10-27 with total page 1510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This widely acclaimed reference work gives a comprehensive survey of all significant human malformations and related anomalies from the perspective of the clinician. The anomalies are organized by anatomical system and presented in a consistent manner, including details of the clinical presentation, epidemiology, embryology, treatment and prevention for each anomaly. When known, the molecular or other pathogenetic basis for the malformation is given. Most anomalies are illustrated by photographs or drawings. Specific malformations are linked to syndromes through the extensive use of differential diagnosis tables. Over a decade has passed since the first edition of this book was published, and the revised edition fully incorporates the advances made in the field during the intervening years.. It reflects new understanding of human developmental biology that has emerged from molecular, cytogenetic, and biochemical studies; new observations by clinicians as well as enhanced diagnostic and prevention capacities; and more accurate and comprehensive epidemiology. By condensing much of the information presented in the first volume of the previous edition, and exercising rigorous editorial control, Drs. Stevenson and Hall and their contributors have managed to update the book while reducing its size to that of a single volume. All clinicians and scientists interested in birth defects, including pediatricians, geneticists, genetic counselors, obstetricians, and pediatric pathologists, will find this book to be an invaluable source of information.
