Teratogenicity

Teratogenicity

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...

Inborn Errors of Metabolism

Inborn Errors of Metabolism

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a protein metabolism disorder characterized by high blood levels of the amino acid phenylalanine. This results from a mutation in the gene responsible for phenylalanine hydroxylase, an enzyme that converts phenylalanine into tyrosine. When this enzyme is deficient, phenylalanine builds up in the blood, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, rashes, seizures, growth deficiency, and severe mental retardation. An early diagnosis and a diet restricting phenylalanine intake...

Area of Science:

Perinatal Medicine
Maternal-Fetal Medicine
Neonatology

Background:

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) diagnosed before 32 weeks presents significant risks.
It is identified by fetal smallness and Doppler abnormalities.
Associated with increased perinatal morbidity, mortality, and maternal complications.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current evidence on the diagnosis of FGR before 32 weeks.
To discuss management options for early-onset FGR.
To summarize the prognosis and postnatal outcomes for affected fetuses.

Main Methods:

Literature review of recent studies on FGR.
Synthesis of evidence regarding diagnostic criteria.
Analysis of management strategies and outcomes.

Main Results:

Early FGR diagnosis relies on specific fetal size and Doppler criteria.
Management strategies aim to optimize perinatal outcomes.
Prognosis is linked to severity and timing of diagnosis.

Conclusions:

Accurate diagnosis and timely management are essential for improving outcomes in early FGR.
Continued research is vital for refining treatment protocols.
Understanding pathophysiology aids in better patient care.
