Neural Tube Defect and Folic Acid
نقص لوله عصبی یکی از ناهنجاریهای مادرزادی مهم و شایع می باشد که شیوع آن بیش از ۵/ ۴ در ۱۰۰۰ تولد زنده است. اتیولوژی و پاتوژنز بیماری هنوز ناشناخته است. مطالعات اخیر بر روی حیوانات نشان می دهد که این ناهنجاری ممکن است، ناشی از متابولیسم غیر طبیعی هموسیستئین باشد. در مطالعات اخیر مشخص شده است که پیشگیری از نقص لوله عصبی (NTD) بوسیله اسیدفولیک مؤثر می باشد.
متن کاملPreventing neural tube defects by folic acid fortification of flour.
A year-long prospective study conducted in the obstetrical service of Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre (JPMC), Karachi for the year 2002, observed 9892 deliveries (312 still-born). Amongst these, there were 34 births with various NTDs of whom there were 16 live births. Anencephaly was the commonest of the neural abnormalities (19 cases with only 3 live births) followed by 11 myelomeningocoele...
متن کاملFolic Acid—Benefits, Risks, and Food Fortification
My last column addressed folic acid and its benefits for pregnant women and their offspring. Specifically, the column focused on: a) folate for women at childbearing age and folate’s role in preventing both neural tube defects and other fetal abnormalities and learning and behavior problems in the offspring, and b) the possible benefits of folic acid for cancer prevention. This article continue...
متن کاملAssociation of neural tube defects and folic acid food fortification in Canada.
Many women do not receive folic acid supplements before conception. In response, most of Canada's cereal grain products were being fortified with folic acid by January, 1998, thereby providing an additional 0.1-0.2 mg per day of dietary folate to the Canadian population. We assessed the effect of supplementation on prevalence of open neural tube defects in the province of Ontario. Among 336 963...
متن کاملEconomic evaluation of folic acid food fortification in The Netherlands.
BACKGROUND Folic acid intake before and during pregnancy reduces neural tube defects (NTD). Therefore, several countries have enriched bulk food with folic acid resulting in a 26-48% decrease in the prevalence of NTDs. In 2000, the Dutch Health Council advised against folic acid enrichment based on literature research; yet formal cost-effectiveness information was absent. We designed our study ...
