Teratogenicity01:07

Teratogenicity

2.7K
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...

Fetal Circulation01:14

Fetal Circulation

1.3K
Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...

Neurulation01:30

Neurulation

42.3K
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...

Pathophysiology of Diabetes01:20

Pathophysiology of Diabetes

1.2K
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia. The four categories of diabetes are type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, other specific types of diabetes, and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic β cells, with environmental factors potentially triggering this process in genetically susceptible individuals. Despite many not having a family history, certain genes increase susceptibility,...

Development of Blood Vessels01:07

Development of Blood Vessels

746
The development of the vascular system in a fetus is a complex and intricate process that begins as early as 15 to 16 days post-conception. This process starts outside the embryo, specifically in the mesoderm of the yolk sac, chorion, and connecting stalk. Approximately two days later, the formation of blood vessels occurs within the embryo itself.
The initial formation of this system is facilitated by the small amount of yolk present in the ovum and yolk sac. Blood vessels originate from...

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal medicine
  • Developmental neuroscience
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Abnormal neurodevelopmental outcomes are linked to prematurity, intrauterine infection, maternal conditions, and fetal anomalies.
  • Standardized placental pathology terminology has advanced understanding of placental dysfunction.
  • Placental dysfunction significantly impacts fetal development and long-term neurological outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review key placental pathologies associated with abnormal neurodevelopment.
  • To highlight findings in placental pathology that explain altered neurodevelopment in children, adolescents, and adults.
  • To discuss placental lesions with a propensity for recurrence in subsequent pregnancies.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on placental pathology and neurodevelopmental outcomes.
  • Emphasis on standardized terminology in placental pathology.
  • Analysis of specific placental lesions: fetal/maternal vascular malperfusion, massive perivillous fibrin deposition, chronic villitis, meconium-associated injury, and chorioamnionitis.

Main Results:

  • Fetal vascular malperfusion and maternal vascular malperfusion are major contributors to abnormal placental development.
  • Specific placental lesions, including massive perivillous fibrin deposition, chronic villitis, meconium-associated injury, and chorioamnionitis, affect the placental vascular tree.
  • These placental findings can partially explain altered neurodevelopmental trajectories.

Conclusions:

  • Pathologic placental findings are crucial for understanding abnormal neurodevelopment.
  • Identifying specific placental lesions aids in explaining neurodevelopmental deficits.
  • Understanding recurrent placental lesions is important for reproductive counseling and management.
