Background: In many countries, 1% to 3% of newborn infants are conceived by Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART). Despite the success of ART, there is concern about the risk of congenital malformations among these infants. We report our experience to determine whether use of ART is associated with an increase in major congenital malformations or adverse pregnancy outcomes Materials and Method...

Objective Multiple pregnancies occur more frequently in assisted reproductive technology (ART) compared to normal conception (NC).

The aim of this study is to compare congenital malformations in singleton infants conceived by ART to singleton infants conceived naturally. MaterialsAndM...

gastrointestinal (gi) bleeding in pediatric patients has several causes. vascular malformation of the small bowel is a rare disease leading to pediatric gi bleeding. to our knowledge, few reports describe ultrasound and computed tomography findings of venous malformations involving the small bowel. we present a case of long-segmental and circumferential vascular malformation that led to gi blee...

malformations which occur during the development of the avian body organs can lead to structural and functional abnormalities. most defects are recognized at hatching, but some go undetected until somewhat later. the cause of the majority of animal congenital malformations is unknown. a significant proportion of congenital malformations of unknown cause are likely to have an important genetic c...
