Background: Congenital abnormalities are structural growth that have arisen since the intrauterine life caused by many factors, including genetics, pregnancy nutrition, infection, and social status. Purpose: This study aims to observe clinical profile of Neural Tube Defect (NTD) patients in Dr. Soetomo Hospital from 2013 2018. Methods: research was a descriptive using secondary data medical rec...

Periconceptional intake of folic acid has demonstrated to be effective to reduce the frequency of neural tube defects, and food fortification has been one of the strategies implemented to increase it. An update is herein presented on the reduced prevalence of neural tube defect cases in the post-fortification period in Argentina and an estimation of cases averted in the 2005-2013 period as a re...

BACKGROUND Rudimentary meningocele, a malformation in which meningothelial elements are present in the skin and subcutaneous tissue, has been described in the past under a variety of different terms and has also been referred to as cutaneous meningioma. There has been debate as to whether rudimentary meningocele is an atretic form of meningocele or results from growth of meningeal cells displac...

OBJECTIVE To predict neural tube birth defect (NTD) using support vector machine (SVM). METHOD The dataset in the pilot area was divided into non overlaid training set and testing set. SVM was trained using the training set and the trained SVM was then used to predict the classification of NTD. RESULT NTD rate was predicted at village level in the pilot area. The accuracy of the prediction ...

A total of 227 mothers enrolled for periconceptional multivitamin supplementation because of previous neural tube defect (NTD) births took vitamins for less than the recommended minimum period (at least 28 days before conception until two menstrual periods have been missed). Of 213 examined infants/fetuses born to these partially supplemented mothers, two had NTD, one of whom followed four prev...

Eddy current testing is a nondestructive testing method, which is used to detect discontinuities and defects in conductive materials. Using this technique, two different types of artificial defects in a railhead were evaluated in order to analyze the relationship between different types of defects and eddy current signals, and to obtain data on the size of the rail surface defects and crack loc...
