Birth Defects was written for healthcare workers who look after individuals with birth defects, their families, and women who are at increased risk of giving birth to an infant with a birth defect. This book is being used in the Genetics Education Programme which trains healthcare workers in genetic counselling in South Africa. It covers: modes of inheritance, medical genetic counselling, birth defects due to chromosomal abnormalities, single gene defects, teratogens, multifactorial inheritance
Birth Defects: Introduction to birth defectsPiLNAfrica
Birth defects, also known as congenital disorders, are abnormalities present at birth that can affect structure or function. Around 2-3% of live births have a recognizable birth defect. Common causes include genetic factors present before conception (such as chromosome abnormalities like trisomy and monosomy caused by non-disjunction), environmental exposures during pregnancy that act as teratogens, and unknown causes (around 50% of cases). Chromosome abnormalities can result in extra or missing chromosomes and often cause multiple birth defects or developmental issues.

The Role Of Antibiotics As Treatment For Australian...Lindsey Campbell
The document discusses chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) in Australian Indigenous children. CSOM rates are much higher in Indigenous communities compared to non-Indigenous populations. Currently, antibiotics are the first-line treatment for otitis media like CSOM. However, antibiotic treatment effectiveness has been questioned as OM rates in Indigenous communities remain high. The objective of the literature review is to determine the effectiveness of antibiotics as treatment for CSOM in Australian Indigenous children.
Naturopathic Interventions in the Holistic tx of AutismShcl1438
This document discusses naturopathic interventions for the holistic treatment of autism. It covers topics such as what naturopathy is, common nutritional deficiencies and imbalances seen in autistic children, the role of diet and supplementation, and potential contributing factors to autism including genetics, environmental toxins, and gastrointestinal issues. The document advocates for individualized, multi-faceted treatment approaches that address a variety of physiological imbalances rather than relying on single interventions.
This document summarizes sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in children. It discusses the etiology, epidemiology, and causes of SNHL. For congenital SNHL, it describes genetic causes like autosomal dominant and recessive mutations, as well as non-genetic causes like viral infections and trauma during birth. Acquired SNHL is commonly caused by bacterial meningitis in young children. Ototoxic drugs are another significant cause of SNHL and the document lists several classes of drugs that can damage the inner ear. Imaging plays an important role in evaluating childhood SNHL to identify anomalies and guide treatment.
This document provides information about newborn hearing screening. It discusses why screening is important, as untreated hearing loss can cause delays in speech, language, and learning. The screening can detect hearing loss at birth but not losses that develop later. It outlines best practices for screening programs, including educating parents, using objective physiological tests, and having follow-up for babies who do not pass. Screening should be done before hospital discharge using auditory brainstem response or otoacoustic emission tests in a quiet room. Protocols vary but include screening both ears and rescreening any ear that does not pass initially.
All hospitals should be disability friendly, to ensure easy movement of disable patients. The presentation arrives at a solution to the all above disability issues to serve as a guide line.
This document is Stanley Lee's mySNP DNA Wellness Report, which analyzes his genetic variations to provide information about how his body processes nutrients and which nutrients he may need more of. The report finds that Stanley has a slightly high risk of impaired caffeine metabolism, meaning he is likely a slower caffeine metabolizer and may experience side effects from caffeine more easily. It also finds he has a slightly high risk of deficiencies in certain vitamins and minerals like vitamin B1, B12, iron, selenium, zinc, and monounsaturated fats. The report provides dietary and lifestyle recommendations based on these genetic results.
The leaflet aims at providing general objective information on genetic tests, including their nature and the potential implications of their results. It presents the different types of tests available, their applications in the medical field and the extent and limit of the significance of the information resulting from these tests.

The most common congenital craniofacial anomaly is cleft lip and palate. It is a separation that occurs in the lip or palate or both. Cleft occurs when the lip and/or the palate do not completely fuse during fetal development between the 6th and 9th week of pregnancy. While many factors have been associated with clefts, the cause of this condition seems complex and most cases of cleft lip and palate are thought to occur by an interaction of genetic and environmental factors or as a part of a genetic syndrome. Children with cleft lip and palate often have problems with feeding, speech, dentition, hearing, and aesthetics.
This document discusses open bite, including definitions, classifications, anterior open bite (AOB), and posterior open bite (POB). It defines open bite as a malocclusion where there is no vertical overlap between the maxillary and mandibular anterior or posterior teeth. AOB is more common than POB and can be caused by factors like thumb sucking, increased vertical facial proportions, tongue posture, mouth breathing, and neurological issues. Diagnosis involves assessing medical history and performing tests like the Overbite Depth Indicator. Treatment aims to correct the underlying causes and close the open bite.
This document provides an overview of case history in paediatric dentistry. It discusses collecting biographical data, chief complaints, history of present illness, past medical history, natal history, habits, and conducting extraoral and intraoral examinations. The examinations provide information to make provisional, differential and final diagnoses. Investigations like radiographs may be used. A treatment plan is then formulated considering urgency, medical conditions, and preventive, corrective and maintenance phases. The goal is a stepwise, evidence-based approach to the patient's well-being.
Biocompatibility of Dental Materials and Immunological ResponseShubham Parmar
Placement of materials in the body can lead to immune responses. In vitro and in vivo tests are used to evaluate the biocompatibility of dental materials. In vitro tests involve direct or indirect exposure of materials to cells in controlled conditions, while in vivo tests in animals or humans provide a more clinically relevant environment. A variety of animal and human clinical trials involving low doses and increasing numbers of subjects are used to evaluate safety and efficacy of new materials.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.
