CIGARETTE SMOKE/ETHANOL-INDUCED LIMB DEFECTS IN MOUSE EMBRYOS
We have produced a spectrum of limb defects in developing mouse embryos by exposing the mother to smoke from cigarettes with different nicotine concentrations, ethanol, and a combination of ethanol and cigarette smoke. The critical time of exposure was determined to be during day 10 of gestation (vaginal plug=day 0). This time is prior to the critical events which occur between the apical e...
متن کاملLimb reduction defects text.PDF
Of all congenital anomalies, limb reduction defects maintain a high profile with the public. In the early 1960s, high rates of limb reductions were associated with expectant mothers taking the drug thalidomide.

متن کاملPerforator Flaps for Reconstruction of Lower Limb Defects
BACKGROUND Reconstruction of soft tissue defects in the lower third of the leg remains challenging. Anatomical constraints limit the local options available for complex defects especially lower third of leg. Local flaps based on perforator vessels are raising interest in reconstructive surgery of the limbs. We present our experience with perforator flaps for reconstruction of soft tissue def...
متن کاملPrenatal diagnosis of neural tube defects.
A prospective program for the prenatal detection of neural tube defects in a high-risk pregnancy group has been under way for one year. Twenty high-risk mothers have undergone a complete prenatal work-up, including sonography, amniocentesis, and amniotic fluid and maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein quantitation. Within this group, two cases were prospectively diagnosed and were later confirmed.
