The developmental neurotoxicity of phenytoin, isotretinoin, and methamphetamine has been reviewed to illustrate effects from both therapeutic and illicit drugs to which people are exposed and which either induce or show the potential for inducing learning disabilities following in utero exposure. In each case both human and experimental animal data are presented and compared where possible. The...

BACKGROUND Ethanol is the most widely used drug in the world and a human teratogen whose consumption among women of childbearing age has been steadily increasing. There are no Italian or Spanish statistics on ethanol consumption during pregnancy nor any information regarding prevalence of fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) and fetal alcohol spectrum disorders (FASD). There is also a reasonable suspic...

Based on extensive laboratory studies to date, glutaraldehyde is not classified as a teratogen, an in vivo mutagen, or carcinogen. Several laboratory studies have shown that glutaraldehyde does not produce reproductive, teratogenic, embrofetal, or carcinogenic effects. Glutaraldehyde induces genotoxicity in some in vitro assays; however, the weight of evidence indicates glutaraldehyde is not an...

Asynchronous blastocyst transfer, supposed to equalize the developmental stage of native and alien embryos during the organogenic period, was used as a tool in a teratological investigation. A spurious protection by the transfer as such was shown to depend on a persisting asynchrony between native and alien foetuses. The initial difference of 24 h was not nullified, but decreased to 8 h. This d...

The fetal brain is sensitive to a variety of teratogens, including ethanol. We showed previously that ethanol induced mitosis and stem cell maturation, but not death, in fetal cerebral cortex-derived progenitors. We tested the hypothesis that micro-RNAs (miRNAs) could mediate the teratogenic effects of ethanol in a fetal mouse cerebral cortex-derived neurosphere culture model. Ethanol, at a lev...

AravaTM (leflunomide) is a pyrimidine synthesis inhibitor used in the treatment of active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The chemical name for leflunomide is N-(49-trifluoromethylphenyl)-5-methylisoxazole-4-carboxamide. Because the drug has been successful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, it is being widely prescribed. In spite of the clear warning that the drug should not be prescribed fo...

PURPOSE Medication use during pregnancy is common and increasing. Women are also increasingly getting healthcare information from sources other than their physicians. METHODS This report summarizes an environmental scan that identified 25 active Internet sites that list medications reported to be safe for use in pregnancy and highlights the inadequate evidence base and inconsistent guidance p...

The risk of birth defects is generally accredited with genetic factors, environmental causes, but the contribution of environmental factors to birth defects is still inconclusive. With the hypothesis of associations of geochemical features distribution and birth defects risk, we collected birth records and measured the chemical components in soil samples from a high prevalence area of birth def...
