Fetal Lead Exposure at Each Stage of Pregnancy as a Predictor of Infant Mental Development
BACKGROUND The impact of prenatal lead exposure on neurodevelopment remains unclear in terms of consistency, the trimester of greatest vulnerability, and the best method for estimating fetal lead exposure. OBJECTIVE We studied prenatal lead exposure's impact on neurodevelopment using repeated measures of fetal dose as reflected by maternal whole blood and plasma lead levels. METHODS We meas...

of a large body of persons, both those who assisted in bringing the idea of the meeting itself into effect and those who took part and contributed to the numerous lectures, discussions and the presentation of case studies including films. It was virtually an experiment in "international, multi-professional and technical education in the field of mental health." Exactly how the meeting was made ...
متن کاملEffects of lead exposure before pregnancy and dietary calcium during pregnancy on fetal development and lead accumulation.
Millions of women of child-bearing age have substantial bone lead stores due to lead exposure as children. Dietary calcium ingested simultaneously with lead exposure can reduce lead absorption and accumulation. However, the effects of dietary calcium on previously accumulated maternal lead stores and transfer to the fetus have not been investigated. We studied the effects of lead exposure of fe...
متن کاملLow-level prenatal lead exposure and infant sensory function
BACKGROUND Lead is a pervasive neurotoxicant that has been associated with poorer cognitive, behavioral, and motor outcomes in children. The effects of lead on sensory function have not been well characterized. The aim of this study was to assess the effects of prenatal lead exposure on infant sensory function, as measured by auditory brainstem response (ABR) and grating visual acuity (VA). M...
متن کاملMaternal Low-Level Lead Exposure and Fetal Growth
BACKGROUND Limited epidemiologic studies have examined the association between maternal low-level lead exposure [blood lead (PbB) < 10 µg/dL] and fetal growth. OBJECTIVE We examined whether maternal low-level lead exposure is associated with decreased fetal growth. METHODS We linked New York State Heavy Metals Registry records of women who had PbB measurements with birth certificates to ide...
