Abstract:
Presented in the paper are the results of monitoring of congenital defects (CD) among newborns in Nizhniy Novgorod Region in 1999-2003. All CD were subject to routine registration at maternity homes, pediatric clinics and dissection rooms of hospitals. The mean CD prevalence made, during the mentioned period, 15 cases per 1000 newborns, which is in keeping with the CD figures registered in other regions of Russia. The share of some nosological CD forms is in line with the results of the International Registry.

01:30Neurulation
Neurulation is the embryological process which forms the precursors of the central nervous system and occurs after gastrulation has established the three primary cell layers of the embryo: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm. In humans, the majority of this system is formed via primary neurulation, in which the central portion of the ectoderm—originally appearing as a flat sheet of cells—folds upwards and inwards, sealing off to form a hollow neural tube. As development proceeds, the anterior...
01:29Drug Dosing: Infants and Children
Pediatric patient dosages diverge from adults due to disparities in body surface area, total body water, and extracellular fluid per kilogram of body weight. The dosing regimen considers the variations in pharmacokinetics and pharmacology across distinct age groups, encompassing preterm newborns, infants, young children, older children, and adolescents. Calculation of pediatric patient doses is predicated on determining body surface area, which exhibits a superior correlation with the child's...

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.
