Neural tube defects are one of the most severe birth defects that affect the nervous system. Read to know more about this congenital disease. Neural tube defects are abnormalities of the brain ...

Neural tube defects arise when the neural tube does not close completely by the 29th day after conception. Neural tube defects refer to structural defects of the nervous system during the ...

Failure of the neural tube to close can lead to neural tube defects (NTDs) such as anencephaly and spina bifida. Periconceptional use of folic acid supplements prevents about a half to three ...

Neural tube defects are common birth defects that have been shown to be reduced through periconceptional folate supplementation, though the mechanism for this effect is unclear. Here they show ...

In 1998, folic acid fortification of a large variety of cereal products became mandatory in Canada, a country where the prevalence of neural-tube defects was historically higher in the eastern ...

to investigate the genetic landscape of neural tube defects (NTDs). NTDs are the most common birth defect of the central nervous system and some of the most devastating congenital conditions.

Can Hydrocephalus be associated with some other conditions of the body? Neural tube defects such as Meningomyelocoel is a very common association of hydrocephalus. Sometimes hydrocephalus can ...

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) mandated folic acid fortification of all enriched cereal grains in 1996, and this regulation resulted in a reduction of neural tube defect (NTD ...

This article focuses only on neural tube defects, its diagnosis and treatment. Neural tube defects (NTDs) refer to structural defects of the nervous system that occur during the developmental process.

Birth defects of the brain, spine, or the spinal cord, are collectively known as Neural tube defects and they happen to be in the first month of pregnancy. The Neural tube defects can often happen ...
