Longitudinal changes in neurodevelopmental outcomes between 18 and 36 months in children with prenatal triptan exposure: findings from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study
OBJECTIVE This study sought to determine whether changes in neurodevelopmental outcomes between 18 and 36 months of age were associated with prenatal exposure to triptan medications, a class of 5-HT receptor agonists used in the treatment of migraine. METHOD Using data from the Norwegian Mother and Child Cohort Study, a prospective birth cohort that includes nearly 40% of all pregnancies in N...
متن کاملThe Ratio of Second to Fourth Digit Length (2D:4D) in Children with Autistic Disorder
Introduction Emerging hypotheses suggest a causal role for prenatal androgen exposure in some cases of Autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The ratios of the lengths of the bones of the 2nd to the 4th digits (2D:4D) are purported to be markers for prenatal androgen exposure and to be established early in gestation. Ratio of second and fourth digits (2D:4D) is usually used as a proxy for prenatal t...
متن کاملAdverse Associations of both Prenatal and Postnatal Exposure to Organophosphorous Pesticides with Infant Neurodevelopment in an Agricultural Area of Jiangsu Province, China
BACKGROUND Prenatal exposure to organophosphorous (OP) pesticides has been found to be associated with adverse effects on child neurodevelopment, but evidence on potential effects induced by both prenatal and postnatal OP exposure in infants is limited. OBJECTIVES Our aim was to investigate the associations of both prenatal and postnatal OP exposure with birth outcomes and infant neurodevelop...
متن کاملPersian surveys and questionnaires for neurodevelopmental assessment in children
Introduction: Cohort studies are defined as studies that investigate the correlation between exposures and diseases. Meanwhile, studies that investigate the effect of different exposures on children are of high priority, especially those focused on neurodevelopment. This study aimed to introduce available surveys in Persian language suitable for cohort studies that could be used for assessing n...
متن کاملAssociations between Prenatal Exposure to Black Carbon and Memory Domains in Urban Children: Modification by Sex and Prenatal Stress
BACKGROUND Whether fetal neurodevelopment is disrupted by traffic-related air pollution is uncertain. Animal studies suggest that chemical and non-chemical stressors interact to impact neurodevelopment, and that this association is further modified by sex. OBJECTIVES To examine associations between prenatal traffic-related black carbon exposure, prenatal stress, and sex with children's memory...
