The risk for neural tube defects is lowered by taking supplements what type of supplement?
FOlIC ACID
Research has shown that the risk for neural tube defects decreases by including what in your diet?
Folic acid.
What is the pathophysiology of folic acid anemia?
Folic acid anemia is a known risk factor for neural tube birth defects.
Does taking folic acid reduce the risk of neural tube defects?
Yes. Vitamin B9 (Folate) deficiency can lead to neural tube defect (NTD) and the main source of it is green vegetables. That's why any woman who plans on getting pregnant should consume sufficient amounts of B9 (folic acid).
How much folic acid for how long prevents neural tube defects in babies?
There is no guarantee that folic acid supplementation will prevent neural tube defects, though it has been proven to reduce the risk. In a woman who has no family history of neural tube defects, it is suggested that she take 0.4 mg of folic acid each day, while a woman with a family history is asked to take 4 mg of folic acid each day (10 times the amount). Ideally the women would begin taking folic acid at least 3 months before conception, and continue it through at least the end of the first trimester.
Should you continue to use technology that increases the risk of birth defects?
No, we should not continue to use them because they increase the risk of birth defects.
Why take folic acid?
Ideally, take folic acid if you are trying to conceive (in the form of a pre-natal vitamin). Folic acid makes the most difference (in my understanding) in the first trimester of pregnancy as that is when neural tube and brain development is most involved.
What is the pregnancy risk category for seroquel?
Is there are risk of a baby to be born with defects if the father is bipolar and taking seroquel which is a psychotic Is there are risk of a baby to be born with defects if the father is bipolar and taking seroquel which is a psychotic
What nutrient should a woman consume in the early stages of pregnancy to prevent neural tube defects?
Vitamin B9 (Folate) deficiency can lead to neural tube defect (NTD) and the main source of it is green vegetables. That's why any woman who plans on getting pregnant should consume sufficient amounts of B9 because the neural tube closes 27 days after conception meaning before a woman even knows she's pregnant!
Is anencephaly a result of incomplete formation of the vertebral arches and can be caused by inadequate folic acid in the maternal diet?
False, that's spina bifida. Both spina bifida and anencephaly are neural tube defects whose risk decreases with adequate folic acid intake.
What is the baseline risk for birth defects in the general population?
2-3%
How is postural defects an intrinsic risk factors?
i don't have a ducking clue!
