[STUDY OF THE INFLUENCE OF MINERAL FERTILIZERS ON THE NEONATAL MORBIDITY RATE IN INFANTS WITH CONGENITAL

|August 26, 2015
Abstract:
Results of the performed study showed that the use of mineral fertilizers for crops increases the risk of morbidity in neonates with congenital malformations (CM). P-elevated levels of relative environmental risk is established for: anomalies of the musculoskeletal system, multiple congenital malformations, the CM as a whole. Maximum environmental risk in the conditions of high load offertilizers on farmland is established for congenital abnormalities of the development of reproductive system in newborn infants (RR = 2,76).

Teratogenicity
4.5K
The ability of a drug to produce structural deformations and functional abnormalities in the developing embryo or the fetus is called teratogenicity, and the drug producing this effect is known as a teratogen. Teratogenic effects include stillbirth, miscarriage, intrauterine growth restriction, and neurocognitive delay. A teratogen may affect the embryo at different stages of development, which is important in determining the type and extent of the damage. During blastocyst formation, the early...

Development of the Oral Microbiota
38
The establishment of the oral microbiome begins before birth, challenging the long-held belief that the fetal oral cavity is sterile. The presence of oral microbes such as Streptococcus and Fusobacterium in amniotic fluid suggests that microbial exposure may occur in utero, potentially through translocation from the maternal oral or gastrointestinal tract. This early colonization primes the neonatal immune system and sets the stage for subsequent microbial succession. Maternal health,...
