Understanding variability in ethanol teratogenicity.
Ethanol is the most widely used psychoactive drug and, when used inappropriately, can have deleterious effects. The developing fetus is particularly sensitive to the deleterious effects of ethanol. Fetal alcohol exposure causes Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (FASD), which have an estimated prevalence reaching 1% in North America (1). FASD are associated with defects to numerous organs, includ...
متن کاملTeratogenicity of ethanol in different chicken strains.
This study investigated the teratogenicity of ethanol in several different strains of chickens. The chick embryo provides a useful model for studying the fetal alcohol syndrome. Two broad classifications of chicks, each containing many strains, are commercially available for use: broilers and layers. Teratogenicity of ethanol in broilers and layers was studied by examining three different param...
متن کاملUnderstanding Decision-Oriented Variability Modelling
Researchers and practitioners have been developing a wide range of techniques and tools to model and manage variability as a response to the heterogeneity of application areas and the diversity of implementation practices in different domains. In our own research we have been developing a tool-supported approach to decision-oriented variability modelling, which is highly customizable to domain-...
متن کاملTeratogenicity of Antiepileptic Drugs
Objective Antiepileptic drugs (AED) have chronic teratogenic effects, the most common of which are congenital heart disease, cleft lip/palate, urogenital and neural tube defects. The aim of our study is to examine teratogenic effects of AED and the correlation between these malformations and AED in single or multiple pregnancies. Methods This is a retrospective study of malformations in child...
