Effect of thimerosal on the neurodevelopment of premature rats.

Effects of Thimerosal on Cerebellum Tissue and Neurodevelopmental Disorders Related Behaviors in Rats

Background: Thimerosal (THIM) is one of the most important and inexpensive preservatives in many pharmaceutical and health products. The current knowledge on the impact of this substance on fetal neurodevelopment and incidence of behavioral and tissue defects is very controversial. Here we investigated neonatal administration of THIM on behaviors and cerebellar tissue, which are important in...

Premature and neonate modeling of thimerosal exposure and neurodevelopment: additional comments.

Thimerosal in Childhood Vaccines , Neurodevelopment Disorders , and Heart Disease in the United States

Introduction Abstract In this study, we evaluated doses of mercury from thimerosal-containing childhood immunizations in comparison to US Federal Safety Guidelines and the effects of increasing doses of mercury on the inc idence of neurodevelopment disorders and heart disease. This study showed that children received mercury from this source in excess of the Federal Safety Guidelines for the or...

Thimerosal exposure (from tetanus-diphtheria vaccine) during pregnancy and neurodevelopment of breastfed infants at 6 months.

AIM We studied the effect on neurodevelopment of infants who are exposed to thimerosal in tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccines during pregnancy. METHODS We compared Gesell Developmental Schedules (GDS) of exclusive breastfed infants at 6 months born to mothers who received Td (1 to 3 doses) against those who were born to mothers who did not take such vaccines. RESULTS Compared with the group of...

P33: Effect of Mother\'s Anxiety on Fetus

The prenatal period is a critical time for neurodevelopment and is thus a period of vulnerability during which a range of exposures have been found to exert long-term changes on brain development and behavior with implications for physical and psychiatric health. During fetal life, neurons proliferate, migrate and form connections, providing the structure of the developing brain. Neurons reach ...
