Prenatal tobacco exposure: developmental outcomes in the neonatal period.
Smoking during pregnancy is a persistent public health problem that has been linked to later adverse outcomes. The neonatal period--the first month of life--carries substantial developmental change in regulatory skills and is the period when tobacco metabolites are cleared physiologically. Studies to date mostly have used cross-sectional designs that limit characterizing potential impacts of pr...
متن کاملPrenatal Mercuric Chloride Exposure Causes Developmental Deficits in Rat Cortex
Introduction: Environmental pollution with heavy metals such as mercury is a major health problem. Growing studies on the field have shown the deleterious effects of mercury on human and nonhuman nervous system, especially in infants, however the effects of prenatal exposure to mercuricchloride on cortical development are not yet well understood. The aim of this study was to investigate the eff...
متن کاملIdentifying prenatal cannabis exposure and effects of concurrent tobacco exposure on neonatal growth.
BACKGROUND Cannabis is the most frequently used illicit drug among pregnant women, but data describing the effects of prenatal cannabis exposure and concurrent nicotine and cannabis exposures on neonatal growth are inconsistent. Testing of meconium, the first neonatal feces, offers objective evidence of prenatal cannabis exposure, but the relative ability of meconium testing and maternal self-r...
متن کاملLower sperm counts following prenatal tobacco exposure.
BACKGROUND Recent findings have indicated that prenatal exposure to tobacco smoke may cause lower sperm concentration in ejaculates of adult men. To extend the research on this hypothesis we investigated the dose-dependency of the association, controlling for other prenatal exposures. METHODS From 1987 to 1996, four separate occupational semen studies were conducted at three centres in Denmar...
متن کاملComplex Developmental Issues of Prenatal Drug Exposure
The polydrug pattern of drug use by pregnant women, combined with the varying purity, dosage, and timing during pregnancy when drugs are taken, makes it very difficult to determine the developmental impact of any specific drug. Nevertheless, studies of drug-exposed newborns suggest an array of behavioral characteristics that make their care challenging, and a few studies indicate that some pren...
