#Malformations
In 1992 the US public health service recommended folic acid (FA) for all women of childbearing age. FA decreases the risk of infant brain malformations. A 2015 follow up study found that from 1995-2011, brain malformations had been prevented in ~1,326 infants per year. This is public health at work.

Even sharks can have scoliosis and malformations. Obviosly they tend to survive if in captivity only. This is Stella, the sand shark that lived at Mississippi Aquarium.

Soutien à Théo qui lutte contre le géant Bayer-Monsanto

Théo est né avec de graves malformations. Il se bat depuis des années pour faire reconnaître leur lien avec son exposition in utero à un désherbant à base de glyphosate.

Nous renouvelons notre soutien à Théo et sa famille pour ce combat.

Most billionaires look like the generational genetic malformations of some distant first cousins that sloppy fucked in a servant’s quarters during the 17th century that we didn’t know about until they slithered out of their mothers rancid wombs these many many years later.

This OB/GYN Dr. Roussos-Ross is AMAZING and she is bringing good data, when we control for depression and socioeconomic factors etc the risks of congenital malformations etc are the same between women with depression who aren;t treated vs those who are

First-trimester antibiotic use for urinary tract infections tied to more congenital malformations

A study finds use of trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole for UTIs during the first trimester was associated with increased risk of congenital malformations.

Texas saw a 12.7% rise in infant mortality after implementing a strict #abortion ban. The increase was 7x higher than the rest of U.S., primarily affecting babies with severe congenital malformations. https://buff.ly/4aW6mK5

Picking up service tomorrow, so time for a little light reading on nonresectable anterior mediastinal macrocystic lymphatic malformations causing airway compression

In late 1961, Europe confirmed thalidomide caused severe limb malformations.

Kelsey's stand led to the 1962 Kefauver-Harris Amendment, establishing the modern standard that drugs must be proven safe & effective before they can be sold. Born #OTD in 1914. #WomenInSTEM (2/2)

SC-y’all officially suck in your 💯% total misunderstanding of female reproduction.
Up to25% of all pregnancies end in miscarriage due to serious fetal malformations.
That’s 1 in 4.
You will kill your wife or daughter. How stupid!!!
FU!

SC is proposing a bill that will penalize a woman with her life-by execution or prison, if she participates in any activity that causes the death of a fetus-
Including work, exercise, travel or leisure activities.

Anything.

Study finds no link between mRNA COVID vaccines early in pregnancy and birth defects.

A French study found no increased risk of 75 major congenital malformations across 13 organ systems from first-trimester mRNA COVID vaccination, confirming vaccine safety in early pregnancy.

Fun fact: all cavalier King Charles spaniels are descended from 6 dogs, making their congenital health issues extremely pronounced. Almost half die before 10 years old, mostly due to mitral valve disease.

Half of them also have thrombocytopenia, 30% have eye problems, 90+% have chiari malformations

A unique combination therapy that refashions #rapamycin into a polymeric nanoparticle delivery vehicle for ponatinib can release both drugs to shrink venous malformations in mice with a single dose. #ScienceTranslationalMedicine https://scim.ag/4uDSGfm
Polymeric rapamycin nanoparticles encapsulating ponatinib cause regression of venous malformations in mice
A single dose of polymeric rapamycin nanoparticles encapsulating ponatinib drove regression of venous malformations in a preclinical model.

Children with chronic lung disease, cardiovascular disease (like congenital heart malformations), diabetes, and neurologic disorders (like cerebral palsy) have increased risk of severe COVID-19. It’s important that these children receive yearly vaccine doses for continued protection.

Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities. For 1-6 year olds,
- the condition showing largest increase since 2022 is Down's syndrome (Q90)
- the condition showing fastest growth since 2022 is Congenital malformations of great arteries (Q25)

- people with congenital facial malformations, injuries, or other physical issues that mean their face isn't recognized by face-scanning technology
- people of color, whose age is consistently mis-identified by age estimation algorithms, either much higher or much lower

Chiari malformations are where the brain stem is not entirely inside the skull. They can cause anxiety, headaches, pain in the back/neck, numbness and tingling in the arms, and bunch of other weird issues that usually get lumped into “all in your head.”
