Teratogenicity

2.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Perinatal Medicine
  • Fetal Medicine
  • Neonatology

Background:

  • Nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF) presents significant challenges in perinatal care.
  • High mortality rates are associated with NIHF, necessitating comprehensive understanding.
  • Diverse and complex etiologies contribute to the development of NIHF.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of nonimmune hydrops fetalis (NIHF).
  • To examine the pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis, and management of NIHF.
  • To discuss postnatal care, outcomes, and remaining challenges in NIHF management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of pathophysiology, etiology, diagnosis, and management of NIHF.
  • Analysis of current diagnostic techniques and their impact on identification rates.
  • Examination of management strategies including termination, fetal therapy, and neonatal care.

Main Results:

  • NIHF stems from various underlying pathologies, including genetic disorders, cardiovascular issues, and fetal infections.
  • Advances in diagnostic techniques have improved the identification of NIHF.
  • Management involves pregnancy termination for severe cases and fetal therapy for treatable conditions.

Conclusions:

  • Prognosis of NIHF is influenced by gestational age at diagnosis and resuscitation needs.
  • Effective neonatal care requires assessment and treatment of fluid collections and identification of underlying causes.
  • Improving outcomes for infants with NIHF remains a significant challenge in perinatal medicine.
