Some congenital malformations necessitating emergency operations in the newborn period.

[Congenital malformations in Latin America in the period 1995-2008].

BACKGROUND The Latin American Study of Congenital Malformations (ECLAMC) has performed an epidemiological surveillance of congenital malformations since 1967.

AIM To report a summary of the results thus far obtained in this study. MATERIAL AND METHODS The ...

Congenital Heart Malformations in Newborn Babies with Low Birth Weight.

UNLABELLED Congenital heart malformations represent a public health problem, holding a significant percentage of the total of heart diseases. Beside the elevated frequency of the malformations, we also notice their occurrence in newborn babies with low birth weight, increasing, thus, the risk of complications and late therapeutic approach. The goal of the study was to highlight the general and ...

Risk tables for genetic counselling in some common congenital malformations.

In genetic counselling, estimation of recurrence risks for the common congenital malformations depends on the empiric risks since the mode of inheritance is usually not known. However, the recurrence risk in any particular family depends on the family history, the sex of affected individuals, on the severity of the disease in the family, and on several other factors. The object of this paper is...
